Lead Engraver Insect Bores Through Lead Leads Story

An engineer in Santa Barbara reports an insect that bores through lead sheathing on telephone cables. The small beetle-like creature is about a quarter inch, with hard wing covers and a placid demeanor. It reportedly bores from the lead sheath to the copper, possibly mistaking the cable for plant bark, with eggs possibly deposited. Reports place sightings in South Bend, Rockford, Omaha, Tacoma, Portland, San Diego, Florida, and Australia, suggesting a widespread, possibly oriental, family.

Hadrian's Athens Plan For Olympian Zeus Temple

In Hadrian's first visit to Athens around 124 A.D. he planned rebuilding the Olympian Zeus temple and adorned Athens with temples and aqueducts. He added water works from Cephissus and Lake Ech between Corinth, with Eparta rising as a major Peloponnesian city. The dedication, possibly in 182 A.D., marked a national festival with Polemon of Smyrna delivering the dedicatory address.

Several North Dakota Banks Fail as Farmers Default

The Chicago Tribune notes three more banks closed in six days due to depleted reserves from farmers failing to meet notes. Belford's Farmers State Bank, Kill Deer State Bank, and Columbus Security State Bank shut operations. Bank examiner H. Lofthis cites crop failures, land deprecation, and farmers holding wheat for higher prices as causes, amid a wider bank-closing trend. The piece adds that the state’s farm total fell from 247,048 in 1919 to 218,312, a 1.7 percent drop, with neighboring states showing similar declines.
