The whangdoodle ii a very peculiar insect. It is the most erratic member of the Locusta Migratoria family. It has no regular periods of visitation, like its seven, thirteen and sev-! enteenyear kin. Its coming, however, is not thought to be in independence of all law. On the contrary, the appearance of the whangdoodle has long been considered as accompanying certain conditions of the human race. This theory is so well established by an extended series of observations that it is now hardly thought worth while to dispute that the whangdoodle is always an accompaniment of the waves of folly that occasionally sweep over the country. For many years there has been no passing epedemic of popular lunacy
