over 200 nights at the New York Casino
last season. The hbretto is full Of fun and
the music is IN the best vein OF its composer,
Carl Milloecker, who wrote the scores OF
''The Black Hussar" and 1.-THE Beggar Stu
dsut." When Mr.. Conried was in Vienna in
the summer of 1889 he impressed Milloecker
50 strongly with the idea of an American
subject, that the famous musician readily
agreed to tbs idea, and "Poor Jonathan
was written. The American subject turned
out to be a happy experiment. The opera
had tremendous success in Vienna on its
first production, where it ran for more con-
secutive nights than any previous comic
opera, and in Berlin its success was still
greater. Poor Jonathan" was given in
English last season for the first
time at the New York Casino
The plot of the opera turns on the advent

that barmaid3 are not indigenous to our

THE SONG OF TaE cIoADA.

how inc African insect Emu erUain5
Others With Its Concerts.
From Nature Notes.
r. I. Lewis, on the authority Of corre-
spondent In whose trustworthiness he has
entire confidence. gives curious account
of the appreciation with " hich the song of
the cicada is heard by insects other than
those of its own genus The correspondent
has frequently observed in Natal that when
the cicada is singing at its loudest in the
hottest portion OF the day it is attended by
@ number Of other insects with lovely,
gauze-like, iridescent wings, whose
demeanor has left no doubt in
his mind that the music is the attraction.
The cicada, when singing, usually stations
itself upon the trunk of a tree with its head
uppermost, and the insects in question, TO
the number OF sometimes fifteen or sixteen,
form themselves into q rough semi circle at
a short distance around its head. During a
performance one of the insects was observed
occasionally TO approach the cicada and to
touch it upon its front leg or anten9, which
proceeding was resented by a vigorous
stroke of the foot by the cicada, without,
however, any cessation Of its song.
Tho insects composing the audience are
extremely active and so wary that they
take fight at the least alarm or the too near
approach Of any intruder. Some of them,
however. have been captured. and on ex-
animation these ''proved TO belong to the
same family as that most beautiful OF Brit
ish insects. the lace-wlng fly, which, indeed,
they closely resemble, except as to size,
their measurement across the expanded
wings being a little.over two iuches. They
have since been identified by Mr.. Kirby at
the British museum as 'Notochrysa gigan-
tea.
