This is always done after sunset, and by g o'clock the same night the hordes have. appeared. They are not very active when they first appear out of their sub terranean homes, but they make what speed they can toward the nearest trees, and climb them to the lower leaves, where they fairly swarm, sometimes as many as thirteen pup@ clinging to one oak leaf. Those which are belated either cling to the bark of the tree off too late to get that far-fasten their claws to the first convenient object, and wait for the grand transformation which IS to convert them from ugly crawling things of silence and gloom into gorgeous things of the air and the sunlight, the males endowed with musical powers, and both sexes clad in gay suits of orange and black, with gossamer wings of iridescent hues.

The eggs hatch in about six weel 5, and the baby cicada is about one-sixtecnth of an inch long and very active, though so light that it falls to the ground from a height sometimes of 100 feet without the least injury. It has pair of strong claws with which to dig hole in the ground, and it puts them into use immediately. Down it goes into the earth, and for seventeen | years burrows and burrows, sometimes going as deep as twenty feet, and some | times not one-quarter of that, but chang ing it's skin twenty-five or thirty times during it's underground travels. It lives on the juices extracted from roots, and sometimes, but not often, irjures trees.
 When the time for its reappearance on earth comes near again it gradually works it's way toward the surface, it finally digs a tunnel upward to the sur face, going up occasionally to peer about and discover by signs known to itself when tho 20th of May has come. If the soil is marshy where it has elected to appear, or if heavy rains are prevailing at the time, it has been known to build turret six inches above ground, with 6 roofed cap, so curved that it can go UT into it and be in safety from drowning in case of food. It is at the time wher it emergcs from the earth, after its long sojourn there, that it is in most danger from enemies; for then the hog anC other animals find it a toothsome nor sel, and devour it in great numbers. A later period, when it has gained tn power of flight, it becomes the prey o some birds, though it was reserved fo the little English sparrow to make tn most determined and destructive wa upon it.

How Congressman Live.

article to weekly periodical from
which the following extracts are TAX

very mediocre figure in society-he

twice his salary. should think 3d.

Congressman, the person who has
neither brilliancy nor social standing
to commend him. 1t is a fact, and
a regrettable one, that Congressman
is measured by the money he spends,
not by his ABILITY or merit. Take
the average Congressman who en-
deaVOrs to live within his modest
salary, and he lives in very unpre-

life is narrow one, as must necesSar-
lily be the life of a Representative
who has no wealth to squander. He
is fit prey of the lobbyist, and easy
subject for shreWd jObberS, for he sees
the Others living in clover and knows
that it is within his reach, and the
temptation is not always resisted.
But take it all in, the Con
gressmen do not always live high,
nor in the elegant style which news
paper correspondents delight in pict-
uring them. Very few, if any Of
them save any money out of their
salary. 1t is possible for a man to
live, but his standing is impaired
and his prospects damaged beyond
repair. There is no reason why Il
man could not live within his means

The estimated period of man upon the
earth has varied from the 100000 years of
the scientists, as noted by Prof. Newberry,
to the $500 years of UsShers chronology,
which the devout archbishop is thought
to have obtained from the bible. But man
is now by the consensus of scientific opin-
ion placed at the beginning of the present
period, the post-glacial epoch. What was
that period? NJ. Forel, the French geolo-
gist, places it at 100000 years ago. with
scarcely any in agreement with him. N.
Marriott estimates il at from 10000 mini
mum to $1,000 years maximum. NJ.
Arcelin places the minimum at 1880
years. This represents very moderate
antiquity, and corresponds almost with
the dates of Manetho. The time of the
present glacial epoch Is variously calcu-
lated from glacial action, from lake exca-
vations (if they were excavations), from
moss and silt deposits, and especially from
the conical accumulations deposited by
the Tiniere, and by the deposits of the Sa-
vonne and other rivers. The tendency is
marked to a recent period for. man, say
from $4,000 maximum years to 1900
minimum and this has the concurrence

minimum of 1850 years; Winchell and
Hall place the time at from 1900 to d.
600 years; and this, we think, has the con-
currence of lie Conte. But differing as
these scientists do among themselves, in
one thing they are in entire accord-that
the Usher chronology is not worth seri-
GUS attention. That chronology places the
creation of man at 4,004 B. c., making the
time to the present, allowing for
three years errcr in our Chris
tan chronology, 1896 years. The
bible is not geological book. Though
it affords US some glimpses, it gives no
dates as to the processes and periods of
creation and the incoming of man and
no service is done the bible by attempting
to fasten the Usher chronology upon
