KILLS THE HOPPERS.

MACHINE THAT SLAUGHTERS 8,000 BUSHELS A DAY. Minnesota Scientists Tackle the Farmers’ Terror in a New WayCanvas and Kerosene Send the Peats to Death. “Hopper-Dozers.” Minnesota scientists have tackled the prasshoppr pest in a new way. Canvas and kerosene is the combination, before which the tiny hoppers go down to their death. Out there it is known as a “hop-per-dozer.” The State pays the expenses of the slaughter, and the slaughter is terrific. Think, if you can, of 8,000 bushel baskets packed with hoppers. That was the average record in a day of killed and wounded insects at the height of the scourge. Dr. Otto Lugger, Minnesota’s expert on bugs, is the man who utilized the curious “hopper-dozer,” says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Why he calls it by that' name it would be interesting to know. Perhaps it is because it sends the hoppers to their last sleep. He was invited to do something to rid the farms of their voracious brigades of hoppers early this summer. He found evidences of enough of them to kill all the crops in Minnesota. The rains helped to kill off some of them, but science had to.do its share iu the extermination. In the neighborhood of Taylor’s Falls Dr. Lugger found a grass-hopper-infested district covering fifty or sixty square miles. The insects were descendants, he thought, of a previous generation which had made trouble in 1890. They were of the so-called pellucid or Oalifoitia variety. There happened to be a State appropriation tor killing hoppers, and this was turned over to the executioner. “I had 200 hopper-dozers built after the most approved ( fashion,” said Dr. Lugger to a correspondent, “and purchased sixty barrels of kerosene oil. All we asked of the fanners was that they run the machines. That they were anxious to do this is shown by the fact that there was a fight for the machines. Every farmer in the section wanted one and wanted it at once. We could not get them built fast enough to supply the demand. The same thing was done at Rush City, Duluth and other points, although there were not as many of them fqj-nished at these places. I estimate that these machines killed about 8,000 bushels a day during the time that they were all running. I do not

think that this is exaggerated in the least, as there were over 400 of the machines, and at the end of a day’s work from three to ten bushels could be taken out of each machine with a shovel. Just about one hopper in ten that dies does so in tho machine, so you can see that my estimate is not a large one by any means.” "What is the nature of the machine?” he was asked. “It is something of the nature of an overgrown dustpan, and is made of tin. It is about eight feet long by two feet wide, runs on three small runners, and is drawn over the ground by a horse. At the front of the machine'is a trough tilled with coal oil, and behind this, at right angles, a piece of canvas rises to a height of three, or four feet. As this .machine is drawn over the ground the hoppers jump into it, the canvas preventing them from jumping over. They fall into the oil and that is the end. “Some of them strike the oil head first and die instantly. Others only .touch it with their feet or bodies and are able to jump out again. It makes little difference in the end, however, as they cannot live over three minutes if they have even the

smallest drop of the oil upon their bodies. The fact that only those which get into the oil head first die instantly is the reason that such a small percentage of them are found in the pan at the close of the day’s work. “Of course the hopper-dozers are only a makeshift. I am conducting experiments now which I hope will show me a much better way of getting rid of the pests than the very clumsy .one of gathering them up on a dustpan. A little while ago I read in some paper that in certain counties in Colorado the hoppers were dying in great numbers with some sort of a disease. I seht to the postmasters of a number of towns in that State asking them to send me some of the insects that were diseased. I received a large number, and there is no doubt in iny mind that they are really afflicted with a disease that is contagious in its nature. We are trying to find out If the insects which we have In this State are liable to this disease. If so We will then know how to deal with them in a scientific manner.”

BARRED BY A RAILROAD.

Illinois Central Refuses to Allow Chi* cagoana to Crams Ita Tracks. Actual conflict between citizens and armed officers of the Illinois Central Company on the Chicago lake front because passage to and from the lake front was denied to the people has brought the question of rights to a decisive issue. Mayor Swift declares the crisis has been reached. He proposes to protect the people against a repetition of the outrage of president of the company, announces he will not budge from the determined stand taken by his force of mem with revolvers lie says citizens were denied right to cross the tracks out of regard for their lives and intimates the corporation will fight any opening of streets. In short, the company’s position is construed by city officials to be a determination to stick for alleged vested rights. Thij earnestness on the part of both contestants makes any more conferences and consequent agreements impossible. Chicago’s lake front on Wednesday was in the possession of fifty armed men, hired By the Illinois Centra 1 Rai 1 road Company to blockade passage to the harbor from Randolph to 12th streets. They had clubs in their hands and revolvers in their pockets. They were instructed to use both if necessary on any person who insisted on his right to an approach to piers in navigable waters, and, in carrying out the instructions, they compelled a score of women to imperil their lives Wednesday night. This climax of the contest between the corporation and the municipality was caused by the action of the company in retaliation for the order to tear down the Van Buren street viaduct. Special Officer O’Keefe was called into the general manager's room and ordered to secure a large force of assistants. He was informed that at sundown the people were to be taught they had no right to a passage to the lake front. He was told to furnish his assistants with weapons and to arrest peacefully in all cases where a beating was not necessary, any man, woman or child who tried to enter Chicago from the steamboats. This order, said to be without precedent in the history of maritime matters, was put into working force at the time when the people were returning from Lincoln Park and Windsor Park Beach by boat.

CROP CONDITIONS.

General Outlook for Corn Is Flatted inc—Much Rain in Places. The reports as to tho conditions of the crops throughout the country and the general influence of the weather on

growth, cultivation and harvest, made by the directors of the different State weather services, say that the general outlook for an exceptionally fine corn crop continues flattering. Except in the Dakotas and Minnesota where it is somewhat late and in Indiana where it is maturing slowly, the crop is generally in advance of the season and early corn is now practically made over the southern portion of the corn belt. Kansas and Missouri report much of the crop made, and in Missouri the largest crop ever raised in that State is promised. Six hundred lowa reports, all counties being represented, show the condition of corn as much above the average in sixty-one counties, above average in eight counties, while thirty counties promise a crop below the average. In Nebraska corn is in excellent condition in the southwestern part of tbafjtatc and in the counties along the Missouri River; but has been much injured in the southeastern section, except in the river counties. In Indiana, while corn is maturing slowly, it is in good condition. In Ohio the outlook is less favorable, being poor in the uplands and on clay soils. Kentucky reports corn prospects unprecedented. No unfavorable reports respecting corn arc received from the Southern States except from portions of Texas and the Carolinas, where in some counties drought is proving injurious. In Texas cotton is needing rain on upland; and the southwest portion of the State, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana report improvement in the condition of cotton over the previous week, while the outlook in South Carolina is less favorable. In Missouri there has been too much rain for cotton and the crop is grassy and the outlook unfavorable in Arkansas. Spring wheat harvest has begun in North Dakota and continues elsewhere in the spring wheat region. Tobacco is in good eondjtion in Virginia and growing rapidly in Kentucky and continues in excellent condition in Maryland, but in Ohio it is not doing well. Light local frosts occurred in Northern Indiana and in Northern Maryland and in the,mountains of West Virginia. No damage reported except slight injury to corn in Maryland. Drought continues in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Southern Texa.l and in portions of Maryland and the Carolinas, where crops are being injuriously affected.

Sir T. F. Wade died at Cambridge. He was born about 1820 and entered the army in 1838, serving afterward In China and elsewhere. He was advanced to the rank of K. C. B. in 1875 for his exertions in negotiating important treaties with the Chinese Government and obtaining treating facilities in that empire. The students’ receut outbreak in Guatemala was due mainly to the punishment inflicted on some of their number. Twelve were arrested and switched until the blood flowed.

His Hand Betrayed Him.

Sir Ashley Cooper, the eminent English surgeon who flourished fifty years ago, possessed the detective instinct. He was once called upon to perform an most hopeless operation upon a Mr. Blight,, who had jhst been shot by an unknown assassin. The prominence of the man and the mystery surrounding the shooting rendered the case celebrated. ,_± Mr. Blight was unconscious at the time of the operation, and no information could be obtained from him. The moment Sir Ashley examined the wound he turned to his assistant and said: _ “A pistol has been fired at him *with the left hand.” . Then he explained his reasons for his conclusion. While he was still engaged in this explanation, Mr. Blight’s partner, a Mr. Patch, a man esteemed as reputable, entered the house and was shown into the room. Something about his manner and countenance attracted the attention of Sir Astley, and he whispered to his colleague: “If that gentleman were left-handed, I should suspect him of the crime.” The next instant he turned to Patch and said: “Will you kindly hand me fl at Hut?!’ Patch did so, using his left hand. Mr. Blight died. Patch was accused of the murder, and, upon being tried and condemned on circumstantial evidence, confessed his guilt He was duly executed.

A Fine Example.

The West Point military college has set a splendid example for other colleges In sentencing Cadet Wallace B. Scales to two years of punl&ment In hazing Cadet Roberts, a “plebe,” until the latter fainted. Unfortunately the law does now allow college faculties to impose a sentence of punishment, technically speaking, upon refractory students, except In such institutions as those at West Point and Annapolis; but It lies within the power of colleges of *ll kinds to expel the students for hazing. If every college In the land would take a firm stand In this matter and adhere rigidly to the rule it would not be long before hazing wonld be an institution of the past in this country. —Troy Press.
