PLAGUE 01' LOCUSTS.
Vast Areas in South America Jbra
Being Ravaged by Them.
Vast regions in South America ara
being devastated by locusts. This is
tlie tliird succc.ssive season in which
y have appeared in countless swarms
and every vestige of vegetation on
which cattle and sheep subsist is being
d-jstruyed. The countries chiefly affect
ed are Argentina , Bolivia , southern
Brazil , Paiyjguay and I'ruguay. Iu
these countries the swarms have been
steadily increasing for a number of
years. They are supposed to originate
in the southerly part of the Amazon
basin and in the Chaco of Bolivia and
of no'-thern Argentina. They had come
froir. the north in clouds that sometimes
darken the sun and some of the swarms
have been estimated to be ( JO miles
long and from V2 to 15 miles wide. But
these billions of flying insects are only
the forerunners of the greater mischief
to come.
They make desolate the area in
which they setlle. but often jump wide
areas in their flight. Before they take
to the wing they lay billions of eggs iu
the warm eaith which in a few weeks
become hoppers. It is this young , voracious
cious brood , before it can fly , that ut
terly strips the land of everything
green as though it had been burned
over.
All the governments are fighting the
evil. Two years ago the Argentine gov
ernment organized a commission for
the destruction of the locust. Last
j-ear the Argentine Congress placed $ ! , -
500,000 at the disposal of this commis
sion. Sub-committees represent the
general commission in every depart
ment exposed to these invasions and
they extend from the northern limit of
agriculture in the republic to the Neu-
river , almost to Patagonia. Ev-
I erything possible is done to minimize
j the damage.
A fine of 300 pesos is imposed upon
any settler failing to report to the sub-
commillee in his district the presence
of locust swarms or hopper eggs on his
land. An organized service embracing
thousands of men is in readiness at any
moment to send a force to any place
where danger is reported. The most
effective war is waged against the
j.oung hoppers.
The ofiicial report is that as many aa N. &
. " 2.000 hopper eggs have been counted
in a space less than three and a half
foot square. A prodigious number ot
the young insects are destroyed soon of
after hatching by means of sprinkling
carts filled with arsenic water or other
poisonous liquids. Still many of them
escape and the country they cover ia
too vast to be entirely treated with tha
' sprinkling process. Fortunately the in
I young hoppers have a habit that facili- cold
t'lte ? the destruction of millions more
of them. I > y the time they are two
weeks old they have developed an enor tive
mous appetite. But they do not set
ot.t to oat up the world in thin array ishes
or scattered detachments. They collect Mexi
here and there in compact masses to
move forward on the food , and when thro1
an army of hoppers advances from one grow
space to another there is nothing left ty
to eat on the ground they have de ers

Truth About the Century Plant.
The century plant , so named because
the popular idea that it blooms but
once in a hundred years , in one sense
makes good its name , for it blooms only
once , then dies.
In the genial climate of southern Cal- j
ifornia it reaches maturity and blooms 1
fifteen or twenty years , while in
colder < climates the period may range j
from forty to fifty years. There are j
many species of the Agave family , na- > )
to northern Mexico , where it ia j
called the Maguey. The plant furnishes
"pulque , " the national drink of
Mexico.
At the time of blooming the plant
throws up a single stock of rapid
growth to the height of twelve to tvven- '
feet , from which the tassel-like flow
sprout forth. Tin's great flower
draws all the sap and vigor from
body of the plant , which soon with-
and dies.
