FVIentlsts ore having tbrir atten tion called to the coinrlileiire in trie prevalence of so tunny forest flies in the Rocky mountains and ineinriniiu- fnrt that a great number of meteors have been tearing up the rartn tn this quarter of the globe, sny the Den ver News. It has been sitirffcsted that these meteors dropping in various mountain districts, in heavy pine forests, have exploded and thus sinrtpn me oig Hu nt fires that are doing to much dam age. This is a new theory in the scien tific world, but it Is not without the range of possibilities and Feems the only explanation of the mysterious origin of these fires. These fires have originated apparently without human agency and there has not been any theory of lightning origin. Denver scientists are now making a study of this theory and in a few days will doubtless express their opin ions. It certainly seems a satisfactory explanation of how fires originate in sections far from the roads of travel and the habitation of men. Word was lately received in Denver of a fire raging near Grand I-ake, Col., and which threatened much property. This fire was supposed to have originated from the bursting of a meteor on a hay ranch near Grand t.ake. Another disastrous fire, with mysterious ori gin, was raging near tieorgetow n, Col. GRASSHOPPER SHOWS. Eatf rtalnntfoti In I tab to Which the nrnce Fee U Piild In Cap tore d Insects. Farmer folks in Utah hnve adopted amodern and grown-up version of the "pin shows" of childhood to assist in ridding the crops of the locust pest which threatens them. The yietu last year was almost ruined by the insects, so this season a series of entertain ments has been arranged, to which an admission fee of half a bushel of grasshoppers was charged, says a San Francisco exchange. The firs evening's receipts amount ed to 75 bushels. The greatest number on the programme was the last, when read: "The Funeral Pyre." It con sists of mock ceremoules al tending the burning of the grasshopper receipts. Several hundred bushels of these de structive insects have already through this clever means gone up in smoke, to the attendant delight of both old and young who assisted at the cremation, The children in San Pete county, where the idea originated, go out on grasshopper huntB with as much ex citement in view for the day as if the quarry were rabbits or coons and t he trophies of the chase are welcomed by parents much more. At the present rate of progress it is hoped that the war of extermination may arrest the ravages of the enemy. Administratrix's Notice Letters of administration upon the es tate of Chris. M.
