A Frenchman in the province of Lorraine bequeathed France £l6O with which to buy arms to fight Germany in the next war. As he was beyond the reach of the law the Germans arrested his brother as accessory to the crime of sedition and conspiracy. A telegram from the Paris correspondent of the Times, 19th May, says that a horrible and striking proof of the seriousness of the locust plague in Algiers has just reached Paris, in the news of the death, at the Douarof Sidi-Eral, of M. Kunckel d'Herculais, a French naturalist, who was in Algiers on a mission to discover some means of destroying the locust eggs, and who has been snftocated, almost as if through the vengance of these insects. On 17th May the heat was so excessive that M. Kunckel sough shelter in the shade of some bushes of a shrubbery. He was overtaken by an enormous cloud of locusts, in which he was absolutely submerged, and he apparently struggled in vain to release himself,, endeavouring to set fire to the shrubbery. When he was discovered at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon by some Arabs, his beard, hair and cravat had been eaten away. M Kunckel was born in Paris in 1843. In 1863 he became the pupil of M. Blanchard, and under his direction began an unfinished work on insectsIn 1869 he succeeded M. Alphonse Milne Edwards as assistant naturalist in M. Blanchard's laboratory, the position which he held at the time of his death. He was known among naturalists also for his books on natural history translated from the German.
