Recently the whole of the Union was infested with swarms of locusts which cost the Government over a million pounds in its campaign to eliminate them. Everywhere farmers lost their green crops — then suddenly -all the locusts disappeared. But first millions of these insects had laid thousands of times as many eggs in the bushveld and the Government took drastic steps to cope with the terrific swarms anticipated when the hatchings started. But there were no hatchings. Farmers watched with fear the advent of this destructive enemy but when the eggs broke there emerged an unknown fly, similar to the flying ant. It appears that some insect had been eaten during the feasts of the locusts which got into the larvae and developed by consuming the embryo locusts in the eggs. Now with a smile of satisfaction farmers gaze on millions of empty hollow shells. New Books at E.

An old Wellington identity, just back fiom a world’s trip, tells of the Smoker’s Exhibition he visited at Amsterdam and the many novelties devised for the use of lovers of the weed he saw there, including al! the latest in pipes, i “I’d no idea” he says, “there were so manv makes of pipes manufactured, but all said and done I’d rather have my old briar than ahy of them. And as for tobacco I’ve come back home as much an enthusiast as ever about our own ‘toasted.’ I found nothing better or that suits me half so well as my favourite Cut Plug No. 10.” Well “toasted” is like that!—it makes friends everywhere—and keeps them. A pipe of Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish or Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), is, as the poet says, “a joy for ever._ The other two genuine toasted brands —Riverhead Gold and Desert Goldare the choicest cigarette tobaccos money can buy. It’s toasting tint makes all five brands so delicious and so harmless. But keep a bright look out for imitations!
