PECULIAR FACTS ABOUT Lo-
GUSTS.
They Come oftener in the South Than
in the North.
Fom the Chicago Record.


This is the date for the arrival of the
tsseventeen-year locusts" or "cicada
septendecim," which made their last
visit in 1877, and can be expected in New
England and the eastern central states.
Prof. Howard says that the newspa-
pers and the public generally are mis-
taken in confounding these insects with
the genuine locust, which, entomology
cally speaking, is the common grasshop-
per, and thus cause unnecessary appre-
hension. The cicadas are not dangerous
to crops or foliage. They will only dam
age the smaller twigs of fruit
and shade trees by depositing their
eggs i'll the wood, ana the injury will
not be serious unless the insects are
uneyceptionally abundant and invade
young nurseries. The larvae, which live
Underground and feed to some extent
upon the roots of plants generally rise to
the surface of the ground when nearing
full growth, and from about May 20 to
June !, begin to make their appearance
above ground in the pupa condition.
They crawl up the trunks of trees, cast
their skins and the winged insects come
forth. The adults are prevalent for five
or six weeks, and, as above stated, do
some little damage to trees and shrub
berry by puncturing them for the purpose
of egg-laying. The eggs hatch in about
two weeks and the young larvae drop to
the ground, which they enter to begin
their long subterrdnean life.
The two nroods of cicadas are supposed
to be the same, with a dormant period of
seventeen years in the north and thirteen
in the south, the periods being divided
almost exactly upon the famous Mason
and DiXon'S line. To determine this fact
an experiment was made with great care
in 1881. Several bushels of the larvae of
the thirteen-year cicadas were secured in
the south and planted at certain points in
the northern states, at Ithaca, n. Y,
Lafayette, Ind, Ames. Iowa, and at other
places where there are scientific institu-
| tions They We're placed under
fruit trees, which were carefully
labeled with metal tags, and
| record was kept. The same year
Larvae were gathered in the north and
| planted at Selma. Tuscaloosa and Mobile.
| Ala; Macon, Ga. and at the agricultural
! college of Mississippi with similar care,
and it will be determined this year
whether the climate has any effect upon
| their periods of reappearance
No one knows why they come in thir-
| teen and seventeen years, further than
| that it IS the law of nature. There are
/ insects whose larya lies dormant seven
/ years; the June bug requires three years,
| and the elow-hy only a few days; but the
/ "seyenteen-year locust" as it is famil-
/ larry known, has the longest larva period
| known.

sleep one evening late In May, still
thinly yelled In white. and when the
rosy breath of Weakening dawn stole
family over the grassy pillows, lol all
in a night the face of nature had
changed, and the foothills met the
sunshine clothed In fairest, freshest
green. Who can welcome spring az

frontier? How those fair women, those
restless little ones, seemed TO glow and
gladden. after the long, long months Of
seclusion when, snow-bound, they were
penned within the stockadc or limited
TO the sentry lines of some struggling
prairie post. Now swarming forth
like bees they came TO greet the sun
shine, the softening air, the tiny,
shrinking little flowers trembling in
the breeze along the southwark slopes,
and one exquisite morning late in May,
perched on the very verge of the steep
bluff overlooking the stream, Con-
stance Morgan had flung to the
winds her ripping name of au-
burn hair and stood stretching
forth pair of long, slender
arms, encased in very shabby and shin
ing serge, as though welcoming the
first sight Of the distant lowlands-the
broad, beautiful valley of the Mini
Ska. All the long winter she had
borne on her white shoulders the cares
OF an army home, and that home
without a mother Loving hearts and
hands, it il true, were there to aid her.
Morgan's devotion to his invalid wife
during her two years OF martyrdom
and his grief over her loss were mat
ters that had won deep sympathy even
in crowded garrison bent on getting
all the enjoyment possible out Of their
few months OF home life. All the
previous summer, spring and fall Off
