Tlais is the inseot coae. cooly referred to as the "seventeen- Oreat locust," name that is Incorrect in at least two particulars. It is not the locust at all, that name being properly applied only to members of the grassehapper family, and while it ha,s a seven-year period, it also has a trarteeneyear period. It has been so long miscalled by the amme of locust, however, that there 4s no hope Of di- vesting it bt that incorrect appellation, and in the regions where there is the longer period of recurrence it will con- tinue to be known as the "seven-year locust," and in the /trees of the shor- ter recurrence Period,as the thirteen - year lomat," The 'scientifically ac- cepted name of periodical cicada, therefore, is the only one that exactly fits. The life of an adult cicada is noisy and short; they are indeed the tois- Ast bluets in the world, Darwin recerdnag the fact that he had heard tneta; wheo anchored in the, 'Beagle a Part, of their life Watery and nothing of the Manner of transformation at the larva to the pupa.

The pupa eltin, whea dried, etill retains the shape of the pupa and may be found attached to the eupport days after the adult has tlown away. Dvery "locust year" is,. in SOMA sort, a year of near and dread. It pears to to have been so with the sav- ages and has remeinecl_eo with their civilized successors, notwithstanding the fact that the cicada has been un- der investigatiou for well over 200 years, and the appearances of the swarms are foretold by entomolo- gists; as accurately as eclipses Of the moon are foretold by astronomers, People have fancied that they could detect in the CrY of the cicada a re- serablance eto the name of the mon- arch Pharaoh, who perseettted the news, and that occult belief or fear adclea to the somewhat dolorous sound nas served to make the cry of the cicada generally unwelcome. Very long ago •some superstition attached to the dark bars of the filmy wings. These bars are always the shape of the letter W, but few people remem- ber that through a period of thirteen or seventeen years, and great signifi- cance is attached to it at each recur- rence. Some prophet has arisen al- ways to announce that the W on the locust's wing enettets "war." Since th ls outbreak will come just at tn.) conclusion of the greatest war, and when even the imagination of the rur- al earophet could hardly conjure Up the likelihood Q.t. anather one, some new explanation will have to be found this tirae. But no doubt the ci- cada will, as Ionian be greeted as a harbleger gf disaster, and as usual, there will be reporte of deaths cause - ed by stings of the cicada, a belief that has persisted In spite of poeitive proof that the cicada has no sting, and only by the extremest aceideat could it inflict a wound either with hill or ovipositor, and that it could not, in any case, inject poison.. YOUNG TREES IN DANGER. Upon every appearance of large ' broods of the Weed°, fear is moulted that trees will be destroyed, particurar. ly young trees of the fruiting and or- - naznent nnarter of a mile from shore. The b 1 noundemeking organs, which the males n possess fully developed and the fe- th Melee only Partly, are a very compli- cated apparatus. It has beene said that the sounds were produced by the insect rubbing its hind legs against , its attngs, but this is hardly well dem- tneenstrated, as he seldom produces ° aolind When near enough. for observa- tion. ' ' Winn INTERESIDING INSECT. The statement that this Is the most Ineeresting- Insect in the world evill hardly be questioned, and it is the mot interestiog because it is rang an- omalous, or possibly because it has • always appeared to be so mysterious. The fact that it appears in eountless numbers one year, then is not seep, agate tor half the average lifetime of buman beings, and then suddenly ap- "ipeara again in eountless numbers has kept the popular mind mystified and lute 'woven many superstitions about the Cicada. When it is Anown that the Insect spends the thirteen or erevetteim years in SIOW development beneath the ground and emerges at almost exactly the same spot Where it 'entered thirteen or seventeen years be - Core, then the mystery disappears, but the interest, if anything, is intensified.

The belief that the 1919 brood Will be exceptionally large is based on the fact that the seventeen-year bread, coraing on this year, is brood No.10, perhaps the largest ot the seve enteen-year-broods, and that brood No. 18 of the thirteen -year faunly.conees Out at the same time. The year 1868 was the greatest locust year in his- tory. In that year brood No. 1, the largest of the thirteen -year broods, ate peered in conlunctiort with brood No. 10, the two combining to make an un- precedented infestation. The coinci- dence of the largest seventeen-year brood this year will not bring about eonoitione approaching those of 1868. The two broods due this Year are brood 10, which belongs to the seven- teen-year family, and brood 18, which belotigs to the thirteen -year family. The fornier will appear Mostler in northern territory and the latter in southern territory. . 0 • trizaLst RZOVE0, 1A.STE'11011.
