The gradual disappearance of locusts in Rhodesia and other parts of South Afrion it attributed by Mr. J. M. Orpen, a writer on the agriculture of the region, to a rapidly growing mould. The invisible goods are scattered by the wind, and in favourable weather the growth attacks and destroys vast swarms of the insect Since its discovery daring the last locust inve- sion, the mould has been regularly distributed by the Department of Agriculture. The disease thus artificially spread has been very effective, bat dryness has caused some failures.
The now kal suaesthetic of M. Courtudo has the advantage over semaine of being not poison- ona, while its action is much less transitory. It is a para-amido-bonzalo ether, a derivative of orthoform, and has been named anesthesino. It has proven especially useful in cases of throat ulceration by enabling the patients to swallow without pain.
