Trains on the railways in East Africa, are sbmetimes stopped by locusts, which swarm in millions on the track. When the engine runs into them their dead bodies make the rails so greasy that the wheels of the engine race round and the train is stopped. This appears to happen only when the train is mounting a St incline. Dr Williams, head of the Department of Entomology at Roth* amsted, recently related how, when he was in East Africa, three boys were employed to run before the train when it reached an up gradient. One boy ran about 30 yards ahead of the train, a second about 20. a third about 10, each waving branches of trees or flags to frighten the locusts. The locusts had time to jump clear of the track. When the train reached the top of the incline the Hoys jumped on board, and the train gathered speed again.
