The crickets' once doleful fiddling now is music to the cars of the farm er of the northwest. M. P. Soniers, grasshopper expert for the Minnesota department of entomology, after a summer-long Investigation in flic grasshopper Infested districts of Min nesota mid the Red river valley, de clares that the cricket has an Insati able appetite for grasshopper eggs and Is eating them by millions. The fe male grasshoper for several weeks now has been depositing her eggs In the ground. The cricket, nccording to Mr. Somes, has n peculiar aptitude for find ing these deposits and a revenous maw after he once, gets his mandible Into the egg bed. The extermination of the grasshop per which destroys thousands of acres of grain In the northwest, seems to rest with the question of providing more crickets. The discovery Is looked upon ns an Important one by entomologists nnd by crop experts. AUTUMN.

IS Jack Johnson is dis gusted with Paris, so nun h so that he will leave for Indon nt once. Just why the "champ" dislikes the Iencli capital he does not way, but his friends think they know. His wife's watehfulness. they say, has prevented him from seeing the "sights" and spoiled his good time. They hint that he s somewhat peevish with Mrs. Johnson, too. She had her way, how ever, Jack is giving up Paris rather, than fall out with her. In England Johnson will go on training for his light with Ponibardlr Weils. He will live at the Puckley hotel. THEY DRAW THE CROWD. Cobb, Jennings, Lajoip, Johnson. Mathewson, Wagner nnd one or two others are plaers who are what nre commonly known as eltawing cards.
