This is true of the schooner Polly now
lying near the Harvard bridge, Cam
bridge side, with cargo of granite. An
other fact that should lead all passers on
Harvard bridge to gaze with awe and adj
miration on the Polly Is that she was a
privateer in the war of 1872, when she
carried twelve guns and was manned by
a crew of sturdy sailors who made life a
burden for all English vessels falling in
their path. To old-time yshipwrights at
Amesbury belongs the credit Of putting
together as stanch and sea worthy craft
as ever carried masts.f She has one deck
is 61 a feet long, 90 feet wide, 3 feet deep,
and has a gross tonnage OF 1927. Her

with old sails, but has new set at home

characteristic of old merchant vessels,

seventeen-Year Locusts Due.

Tt is thought by the Department of
Agriculture at Washington that broods
of seventeen year locusts are due this
summer in about eight States of the
Union. Altogether there are twenty two
broods of these strange insects, which are
not locusts at all, but cicadae. The
period of each brood is exactly seventeen
years, so that the appearance of the
various broods may be unerringly pre-
dicted if the time of their last appear
ance is known. They are the only insect
known that has such long larval period
The insect is found in this country east
of the Rocky Mountains, but species of
the same family are found in the tropics
that grow to very large size. In
the Southern States 1t is said that
their period is thirteen years. The
period of the tropical cicada, by the
way, is annual Entomologists have
planted a large number of the insects in
various regions of the North and South
in order to determine more accurately
their character and habits. The genesis
and life of the insect as known may
be described as follows: The female
prepares a nest by boring hole in the
bark of a twig with her ovipositor,
which is sharp instrument provided
with minute saws, She then deposits
about fifteen eggs in this nest and
repeats the process until she has laid
400 or 500 eggs, when she becomes so
weak that she soon falls down and dies.
The eggs are so transparent that the
forms Of the unmatched insects can be
seen inside them. After d period not
exactly determined the young insects
are Matched out They are white in
color and have six legs and a beak for
sucking. They at once drop to the
ground and burrow into it until they
find succulent root, to which they
attach themselves And then for seven
teen years they burrow in the. ground,
sometimes going to the depth OF twenty
feet during the last few years OF their
burial. Toward the end of the period
themselves to the bottoms of logs and
stones. When the right moment arrives
they appear on the surface of the ground,
as if by magic, and swarm to the nearest
tree. AS soon as they attach themselves
to a leaf or twig their skin begins to
split down the back and in less than an
hour they appear as a winged insect.
On each of its gauzy wings is figure
resembling the letter w, which the igno-
rant take to mean war. 1T is thought
that the life of the insect in It's winged
state is not much more than a week,
period out of all proportion to it's
chrysalis life of seventeen years.
1t is certain that the broods of cicadae
are decreasing. The advance of civiliza-
tion kills vast numbers of them. The
English sparrow also devours them with
great avidity. For this reason it is
thought that the brood of 1885, the great
est ever known in this country, will have
comparatively SIN all progeny in 1902.

The Maine NOn-FOrfeiture Law,

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union MutuaPs acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene-
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing it's benefits, it being
equally we'll understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland Maine. is the only cOmpa-
my issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898. no fewer than
thirteen notices of Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the beneficent operation of the Maine

as this deserves to be called robbery.
The recent convention of the silver men
at Chicago showed determination on
their part to resist the repeal Of the Sher-
man law by all the parliamentary tao
tics at their command, unless they can
be assured of the passage of satisfactory
substitute. The Sherman law was never
to the liking of the extreme silver men.
They wanted free coinage. But half a
loaf is better than no bread, and they
would rather have the Sherman law than
nothing Hence they will resist the
unconditional repeal of that measure.
They will be ready to compromise, how
ever, and already several compromise
measures are talked Of One which is
likely to command strong support has
been drawn by Senator Voorhees, of In
diana The intention has been to keep
it's terms secret until it was offered in
the Senate, but to some extent they have
leaked out. His bill is supposed to pro-
vide for the coinage each month of 3d..
500, 900, in silver dollars from the bullion
HOW III Ulo UTodSuFy, dU d TdUlO OIL IL DO
1, after repeating the Sherman bill It is
urged in favor of this Voorhees, scheme
that the bald repeal of the Sherman law
will dissatisfy a large section of the
Democratic party in the countryj as well
as be violation of the party plank in the
Chicago platform. To repeal the Sherman
law and leave silver absolutely demon
etized would, it is urged, turn thousands
and tens of thousands of Democrats into
the third party, and make the hold of
the Democracy on several Southern
States doubtful, to say the least. Such
compromise as the Indiana Senator
is said to propose would satisfy. SO it is
declared, these half-populist Democrats,
and hold them in the party. This is the
sort of talk some of the leading free sill
yer organs in the South have been in
dulging in for some time. They have
been declaring that the Democratic party
is pledged to the reconciliation of sill
yer, and that it's representatives in Con-
gress can be depended upon to fulfill that
pledge. For this reason they argue,
there is no sense in any free silver man
running after the third party when he
will get all he wants from the Demo-
Gratis. Secretary Carlisle is said to sym
pathize with this plan, and enlisted in
it's support, besides VOORHEES, are Pugh,
Lindsay, Mills and Vest.
