Reports from various parts of the
country OF the presence of thirteen.
year lneusts have stirred up The
scientists af the Department of Ag-
riculture to .mpart to The people
some OF the lore which they have
accumulated with reference TO the
subject The amount of informa.
ton which they possess does not
appear to be excessively large or
valuable, but some of il is of inter
est.
To begin with, Prof. Howard, the
entomulogist of the Department,
says that the thirteen year locust is
not locust at all. Scientifically
speaking, the locust is the common
grasshopper. The so-calied thirteen
year locust is the eicada, the scien-
tific name being cicada tredecim.
The same is true of the seventeen
year locust, which is expected this
year. 1t is another species or variety
of cie;da, scientifically known as
cicada septendecim. The distinction
between loeusts and cicadas may
seem unimportant, but Prof How
ard thinks that confusing the names
causes unnecessary apprehension.
The cicadas are not dangerous to
crops or foliage, but do some injury
to the twigs of fruit and shade trees
by depositing their eggs in the wood.
The damage will not be serious un
less they appear in exceptionally
large numbers. The eggs hatch in
about two weeks, and then the larvae
enter the ground.
1t is thought probable that the
thirteen year cicada and the seven
teen year kind are The same, and
that the dormant period is seventeen
years in the North and thirteen
in the South. This theory has not
been verified, but experiments are
in progress which are expected to
demonstrate its truth. The reason
why these eicadas appear at inter
walls of thirteen or seventeen years
is, according to the received theory,
that the larvae remains for those
periods in the earth in dormant
state. Why they do so, no sci
enlist undertakes to say. 1t is isknown,
however, that the larvae of the June
bug lies dormant for three years, ,and
those of other insects for different
periods; but no other is known to
have SO long period as the seven
teen-year locust.

 The man addressed began to pace the room nervously.
 ''It was about--a woman." he said, finally.
 Well, what of it?" demanded his su perior. Her name wasn't mentioned, though it ought to have been, and if it had been, is that any reason why you should scruplc to publish what l send in? You've never hesitated before over such trifle as woman's reputation. y
