THE COCkROACH,
An UnwelcOme Importation from the
Sunny Lands of Asia

An UnwelcOme Importation from the
Sunny Lands of Asia.
Comparatively few people know that
this familiar of the kitchen is not by
any means native of these chimes.
1t is an Importation from the warm
and sunny lands of Asia, brought over,
perhaps, something like two centuries
ago. The first arrivals must have
reached this country as stowaways on
board ship, and finding themselves in
congenial surroundings. they multi
piled apace. Now they seem almost
everywhere, but for long time after
they sWarmed in the kitchens of town
country. No doubt if they had been
natives of a similar climate they would
have quickly reached even remote vii
lagos, but they fortuna ely have deli
cate constitutions and can not stand
exposure to cold. Many people must
have noticed that it is only in hot
summer weather that they are seen
far away from the warmth of the
kitchen fire. 1t is this need for high
temperature which causes them to
concentrate where it is most constant
ly maintained. Cool larders and pan
tries are comparatively secure against
their attacks, in spite of the fact that
they would find better fare therein
than the crumbs and particles upon
the kitchen floor. Their common de-
scription as horrible black beetles
is curious nlisnomer. They are not
black, nor are they beetles; the only
part Of the description which is at all
applicable to them is the epithet 'hcr-
rible. with which few will larrel.
