BETTER TIMES FOR AUTHORS.

Mr.. Walter Besant, one of the most
successful and pleasing of our modern
novelists, is to be commended for unu-
sual interest in the welfare Of his
brother authors. He seems to have a
proper appreciation of conditions which
have existed since the time of Shake
speare and for which no adequate rem
edy has ever been furnished. The mis-
fortunes of authorship which Mr.. Besant
proposes to remove to a degree, relate to
the poor returns for good work and the
never ending oppression of heartless
publishers. He proposes to do this by
forming a union of authors or the broad
ISOLATION. He would have it 80 COM
pact in form and strong in purpose as
to successfully dictate terms to pub
fishers, and, il necessary, boycott them
or declare strikes. A black list would
be kept and any publisher who accepted
a work from an author outside the
union would be deprived of future puo-
locations.
MI. Besant's object is praiseworthy.
It Is too true that the best authors are
not half rewarded. They spend their
lives contributing to the growth of wis
dom and morals and for the mental rec
reation of their readers, but never enjoy
the good things Of life to which they are
entitled. III we were to compare the
contributions to the world OF Shake
zuo,ra Nh onkarnu avid nt,1,p, ,r;tl
those OF the Goulds, Vanderbilts and
Rothschilds, who Of us would not say
that the former were better entitled to
the millions than the latterY Certainly
they did more for the pleasure and
profit of humanity. Yet with all his
work, the grandest and most enduring
in the history OF literature. Shakespeare
lived and died i'll want. Dickens and
Thackeray were better provided for and
yet they We're struggling for the mighty
dollar when their pens were laid down
for the last time. True, they won re-
wards from the %applauding multitudee,
but these were of small account to such
men. They wrote for the love of the
work and TO make the world better.
The latter day novelists, like Mr.. Be
SAINT, Anthony Trollope, Howells and
James are properly showing moro con
sideration for the financial returns and
with the growth of this feeling it is
quite likely that authors will be better
paid than heretofore. The plan of Mr.
Besant, if successfully carried out,
would probably materially assist in
bringing about this object, but il is no
difficult to see how many obstacles viii
be found. The first effort Of Il youne
author, after the completion Of his work
is to secure a publisher aud this is al
ways difficult when the author is w
known. 1t would certainly seem tina
his membership in the UNION would no
better enable him to secure publication
for the publishers will at least resery,
the right to make their own choice. /
he does not belong to the union, no first
class publisher would dare make term
with him. He will, therefore, he left t
bring out his works as best he can, an
it is safe to cay hat he will make term
with any one TO reach this object. F
nally, it is to be said that authors ar
proverbially lacking in business judl
ment, which would be absolutely esser

house was nigh, and ne went OUT Into tne
fields.
After walking awhile he came to his
mill, silent and dark by the riverside,
and then he thought that he would go
beyond and to lis own dwelling and see
if he could spy out anything there. This
scouting savored so much of the roman
tic and perilous that 1t was fascinating.
It brought back his boyhood's dreams to
him and filled him with queer sort Of
dime novel heroism that was positively
thrilling.
It was within two hours Of midnight.
The moon, which was in its last quarter,
hung almost over the horizon in the far
end Of the canyon; the air WAS SO still
that the soft murmur Of the river came
clear to his ears as he stood in the shad-
ow of the trees and looked toward his
dwelling. Suddenly the silence was
gently stirred not broken by what
seemed to him as he listened, with a
stilled pulse, the faintest, most distant
chorus Of voices.

HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC.
The Katydld Rubs the Two..Plates of His
Wing CoversiTogether.

EVERYBODY is familiar with the music
of the katydid. Here again it is the male
that has the voice. At the base of each
wing cover is thin membranous plate.
He elevates the wing covers and rubs
the two plates together. If you could
rub your shoulder blades together you
could initiate the operation very nicely.
Certain grasshoppers make a sound
when flying that is like a watchman's
rattle-clackety-clack very rapidly re-.
peated. There are also some moths and
butterflies which have voices. The
deaths head" moth makes a noise when
frightened that strikingly resembles the
CRYING of young baby. How it is
produced is not known, though volumes
have been written on the subject. The
mourning cloak" butterfy-a dark
species with light border on it's wings
makes cry Of alarm by rubbing ITS,
wings together.
The katydids, crickets, grasshoppers
and other musical insec are all exag-
gerated in the tropics, assuming giant
forms. Thus their cries are proportion
ately louder. There is an East Indian
cicada, which makes remarkably loud
noise. Tt is called by the natives dun
bub, which means drum. From this
name comes that of the genus which is
known as dunbubia. This is one of the
few scientific terms derived from the
Sanscrit.
The death watch is popular name ap-
piled to certain beetles which bore into
the walls and floors of old houses. They
make ticking sound by standing on
their hind legs and knocking their heads
against the wood quickly and forcibly.
It is call. Many superstitions have
been entertained respecting the noise
produced by these insects, which some
times is imagined to be warning of
death.
Entomoloigsts have succeeded in record
ing the cries of many insects by the or
binary system of musical notation. But
this method does not show the actual
pitch, which is usually octaves above the
staff 1t merely serves to express the
musical intervals. It is known with
reasonable certainty that many insects
have voices SO highly pitched that they
cannot be heard BY the human ear. One
evidence of this fact is that some people
can distinguish cries which are not audi
