The endof the stick is remarkable in its close resemblanceto the snakes head. It was found by Mr. WalterE. Boyd, Red Bank, New Jersey, while he wasstrolling in the woods. A STRANGE DRESS FOR TREES Edith Whitmore, Bedford, England, sends toNature and Science an interesting photographof trees that have been sewed up in cloth. Sheexplains that they needed to be protected in thismanner from the locusts that come in great num-bers. The covering is said to be effective, but itgives the trees a very odd appearance. The hop-pers, as the locusts are called, attack nearly allkinds of plants and trees, and often destroy everygreen leaf. In the morning or in the evening theyare easily driven, and many are then destroyed invarious ways. The photograph was taken on anestate in the Argentine Republic.
