Uarnjan, of Lexington, Ky., state etymologist. The territory over which the wind ed host will spread.says Professor Gar man, embraces West Virginia. Ken tuoky, Virgiuia, Tennessee, Alabama, Georiga. Missouri, Illinois. Ohio, In diana, Pennsylvania and the forests ot New York This means the devasta tion of fruit trees aud young forest trees in those states. The main body will arrive nest year. When the last brood swept over tin country seventeen years ago, the fe males deposited theireggs in the twigs of the fruit aud other succulent trees by pieraiug the outer bark aud layiug eggs in a cavity near the pith In a thort tune the eggs hatched and the resulting caterpillars fell to the ground They furrowed into the earth and liv ed among the roots on the sap which they sacked from them for sixteen years. Popular interest in the appearance of these insects which are seen onlv once in seventeen years, is revived bv Professor Carman's statement.aud the superstitious declare that their ap pearanoe at this time means the be ginning or the ending of some big war. On their transparent wings in red let ters of tire is wrought the letter "W" which tradition says means war. Hence the prophets say that a great European war will begin or »he pres ent Russo-Japanese war will end this year, probably within two mouths. They point out that at the last appear ance of the "Nightingale of the Nymphs," as the ancient Greeks call them, the United States was troubled with Indian uprisings aud strikes. In 1827 the Modoc Indian uprising and the Franco-Prussian war were brought to a close In 1855 the Crimean war was brought to a close by the appear ance of the "seventeen-year locust-." The "seventeen-year locust" is a species of the harvest fly and appear* every seventeen years. The males have tremendous drums uuder their wugs. and with the vibrations of the mem branes across this drum they make a wierd whirring sound that rtsembles the word " Pharoah. " Scientists think the larvae barrow into the ground sometimes as deep as twenty-five feet. They go through twenty-five or thirty changes ami when ready to emerge, dig their way 'up through the earth iucased in a i transparent shell. They come op thous ands in a single night and early in the I morning are seen cuttiug their way through their shell, which is soft and ! whitish. Their tender bodies become i hard as soon as the sun strikes their wings. They stay in the forests and orchards, where tliny pierce the twigs !of the peach, plum, apple, pear and I other nursery trees. The only way to i prevent their ravages is to shake theui otf aud keep the swarm in motion. The Euglish sparrows eat thein with avidity, but their attack on a swarm of such bugs is futile.

Sever al ehoits have not yet been consulted, but the leaders will h« communicated with during ihe next day ot so. Dr. Slock is much pleased with the attitude of the musicians toward the grand chorus. Everywhere, lie says, he find-! the idea popular. The mem bers ol the different choirs are en thusiastic and predict success for the chorus. He feels sure that hew ill have no difliculty iu securing a chorus of at least one hundred voices l'here is one flung, however,that he wishes to impress on the minds of tlioie who enter upon the work and that is the ticccssityo 112 constant attend ance at rehearsals It will be necessary to be present on every occasion.

'DANVILLE DEFEATS | BUNKER HILL The Bunker Hill team of Shamokin made its first appearance on the local diamoud Saturday afternoou and was defeated hy the Danville A. A by a score of Bto 2. The weather was all that coald be desired for base hall,and a large crowd was expected to turn out, but only a fair-sized audience witnessed the contest, which proved to be the genuine article of ha.se hall from start to fiuish. Edgar and Mo- Cloud did the battery work for the home team audit was well done, as the score shows. Only four safe bits were made off McOloud,who pitched a winning game throughout aud did not allow the vis itors a hit or run until the seventh in ning when with two men out and two strikes on the batter, Ootaleskie suc ceeded in landing oue safe, which be ing followed by another hit aud au error resulted in the scoring of the first run by the visitors Two hits in the ninth resulted 111 another run for the visitors and the game ended with only two to their credit. Gosh opened for the home team with a well placed single, which, combined with another hit, a stolen base, and an error or two by the visitors result ed in three runs for the locals in the first inning, after which the hits aud runs came slow, although the locals succeeded in scoring eight ruus. Deeu showed remarkable skill with the bat, securing two hits.aud each time at bat drove the ball too far out field, giving the outfielders plenty to do. The borne players again proved their ability to furnish the real thing aud play winning ball. The light attend ance may have beeu due to the fact that the bridge is still closed to con veyances,as many former patrons were conspicuous by their absence. It is the intention of some of our liverymen to run hacks at five cent fa-e to the park on the opening of the new bridge. In former yeais it was claimed that five cent fares did not pay on account of delay in crossing ttie old bridge where teams were compelled to walk, but things are different now,and time lost elsewhere can be more than made up on the bridge. The management will continue to furnish strong attractions and feel sure their efforts will be ap preciated by the looal lovers of the game. Below we give the score: DANVILLE. K. H. O. A. E.

School insubordination, and the tendency to rowdyism on the p;*rt of pupils attendiug our schools, are be coming unpleasant aud disquieting fea- J tured of the times. When the boys,start ing out in life, display an unruly dis position there is discouraging prospect of their becoming orderly citizens. These remarks are induced by an in cident connected svith the recent com mencement at the Shamokin High School. A member of the graduating class was suspended for some act which the school authorities no doubt cor rectly regarded as calling for merited reproof, whereupon the whole class, arrogating to themselves the right to defy and overrule the decision of their superiors, threatened to take no part in the commencement exoroises uuless their offending companion were rein stated. It would be uup trdonable weakness on tb ■ part of those in authority to yield to so arrogant aud impertinent a demand. When a class takes the stand that the Shamokin High School class insolently assumed, determined action on the part of the school board is de manded, as well for the preservation of the school disipline, as for the future good of the youths who had engaged iu so mistaken aud misguided a move ment. It is a bad thiug for youths just entering manhood to start out from the school room with a record of hav itig defied their teachers and disre garderl the regulations which ate re quired for the discipline ot every school.

Present indications point to the in evitable adoption of the electric 1 ail - j way system in place of steam, for su ' burban traffic. Tbe tendency is 111 that | direction The current number of the j Railway Gazette gives reasons in a < careful examination of tha growth of ! electrical power for local intern 1 ban and long-distance service, why elec tricity is fast displacing steam. With electric power a greater number of trains may be handled on a given mim j ber ot tracks ;where there are frequent stops, as by accommodation trains fo suburban points,the electric trains, which are lighter, may be stopped and started more quicKly; there is absence of smoke and dirt, aud, finally, the cost is much less. The sum of money which will permit a railroad to run one steam tram an hour will pay for the cost of ruuuing an electric train every four minutes, ancordiug to the Gazette; or, iu other words, under ordinary conditions, where the track and terminals are built the cost of a steam traiu service is fifteen times greater, expressed in the frequency of the trains, than electrical service. If tho estimate of relative cost be cor rect, it is appareut tint it is only a question of time when the big steam railroad companies will be compelled, iu the interest of economy aud sound business principles, to handle a great deal of their local or suburban traffic with electric motive power. The Gazette shows by the statistics of many roads, wlieie the strain lina has beeu paralleled in sutiurbaii districts, that the electric liue has invariably taken tho local passenger trallic from the steam road because of frequent trains and a fare which is lower than tho railroad can afford to meet.

RETIMED FRi THE FA# EiST Charles A Newbaker, iu ttie employ ot the Govt ruiiieut an uu Electrical Eugioeer. i- visiting at tlie home of his parents, Dr. and Mrs. P. C. New haker. West Mahoning stre» t,. He has just returned from the Philippine Is lun is, where he was stationed foi two years. Mr. New hiker left his home in this city some tit ten years ago. lu the in terim he has b en around over the woild considerably. He is a graduate of Lehigh University and about live ! years ago went lo South America as an l electrical engineer. His labors lay in tin wild and undeveloped country of j Western iVm where he became ac j quainted with many odd phasis of hu- I man lile an I whfre his every day expe . riences were in \>sted with an interest and charm foreign to life iu the busy I ce iters of the northern hemisphere, j During his sojourn in South America i Mr. Newhttker became proficient in , the use of tie Spanish language,which i he much admires,claiming for it qual ities that in ike it much superior to the English language. Equipped with this accomplishment he took an examina tion under the government as translat or. lie passed successfully and was cent to the Philippines where he was kept quite busy figuring on proposi tions of various sorts that required expert kuowlelge. As tar as Ins posi tion under the government was con cerned he had little use for his Span ish,although it stood him In excellent j stead iu dealing with matters outside his position. A portion ot his time | he was regularly employed as translat er fir t'ie " Manila Cable News," his j duty to render into Euglish what wis printed 111 the local pre-s where the Spanish language was em- I ployed. , Mr. Newbaker is not infatuated with 1 life in the Philippine islands, although . statioue I as he was at Manila, he was , brought in contact with the best con ditions, socially, morally, &c.. that 1 exist on the [-lands. He foresees ex -1 cellent busim-'* opportunities in the Philippines, after a little further de velopment, especially for those who 1 have capittl. As is the case in South j America, the I-lands, however, in his I opinion, are barreu of all opportunity | for a peisou without capital. What lends an especial interest to Mr. Nev> baker's visit is the fact that less than a month ago he was in Japan ' and witnissed the enthusiasm and the 1 denioustiatiou of the populace elated i over the many victories achieved by the army during war with Russia. ! The return trip was made by way of I Japau and Mr. Newbaker not only ' touched at O una but spent some time at Nagasaki and at other towns on the coast of Japan. The Japanese at least as revealed iu the seaports, be says, are not 1 class of people to impress an j American favorably. It is true the | natives seemed very enthusiastic and j gave evidence of pattiotism as they I cominually marched backwards and forwards, displaying their colors and I beating drums, yet there is nothing whatever attractive about tbe people; lonI on the contrary, Mr. Newbaker states, j they do not seem very far removed ' from the savage and on the whole are j not much to be preferred over the Philippines, who while they are very courteous aud clever at the same time aie an uusornpalous lot, badly given both to lying aud stealing. Mr. Newbaker brought along home wiih him a number of bpautiful art icles very easily procured in the Far East, but very rare and costly here.
