as a basis for jokes. Bul the occasional
nccounts which have come from over the
water of marked success in this method of
using electric fluid have turned the jokes
into serous reality and theory into real
work. The best proof that the storage is
a serviceable one is given by the batteries

LOCUSTS IN ANGORA.
Last vear the village of Angora, in Asia
Minor, was devestated by locusts, and, in
order to avert a repetition of the calamity
which had Inid waste several producrLy:
sgriculiural districts, the governor of
province decreed that every able-bodiel
peasant should, during a certain period
preceeding the ensuing locust-batching
season, collect locust eggs at the rate of
nearest local suthorilies,
and furthermore prescribed that u daily
foe of two pinsters should be levied upon
ench peasant who should fail to fulfill 1he
duty thus imposed upon him in the gen
eral interest of the province. The practi.
eal result of this wise and prudent decres
tal ware as follows: Duringibe first day
or two of the per jod appointed for the col
lection of the ova, a few rustios brought in
their quota of eggs. but the large majority
of the peasantry, far Woo indolent to dig
them up, compounded with the powers
that be by privily purchasing the necessa-
ry quantity of eggs from the officials wt
one pisster per kilogramme, and then
making public delivery of the quantity to
the employees empowered to receive it,
Thus the two or three hundred kilo.
grammes of eggs collected and delivered
by law-abiding people were sold over and
over sgain to the malingerers. These
tricks saved half of the amount of their
fines, the officials pocketed a paister by
each transaction, and the crop of Joeusts
for the coming season will, in all proba-
bility, turn out even finer than that which
all but ruined the Angora vilaget last
year,— London Telegraph,
