The worst feature of the Asiatic
criminal is his vindictiveness. To plot
against the life of one who has done
his best to compass your fall. who has
dishonored wife or daughter. or lain in
wait for a son; to shoot Il grasping

the head-thesc sort of episodes are fa-
miliar enough in British annals of
crime. But in his thirst for revenge
the Asiatic will sacrifice himself. his
wife. his child. his unotfcnding neigh
Dor. if he can only get up n case

A ClCAQA CITY.

Curious Hufs Built by the seventeen-Year
Locusrs.
The reappearance OF the seventeen
year locusts, or cicadas, during the
past summer, was accompanied in some
localities by q very singular phenom-
enon. 1t is we'll known that these
wonderful insects, after lying for sew
enteen years in the earth. issue at the
end Of that period, in the form of
pup@. from long burrows in the
ground. Ordinarily these burrows end
at the surface of the ground, and the
pupee, after crawling out of them, UNI
dergo their transformation into winged
insectA- But occasionally the cicada,
before issuing FROM its burrow, con;
structs an extension Of it above the
surface Of the ground. like q little hut,
and whom its period Of transformation
ID at hand the insect breaks open the
top, or roof, Of its mud hut, and
emerges into the sunshine.
Heretofore but few specimens OF
these huts have been described by nat
uralists, but last spring great numbers
of them appeared in some places, and
the question has arisen, Why were they
c~onstruotsdP Mr.. BENJAMIN Lander
discovered an immense city of such
huts on South Mountain, lear Nyack-
on-the-Hudson, and he thinks he
knows why the insects built them.
These huts were from one to four
inches in height, and some of the more
symmetrical Of them, being composed
Of clay stained with red oxide of iron.
were >bssutiful objects. They were
scattered by thousands yer an area Of
about sixty acres, and in SOM spots
were crowded close together, ten or
oven twenty appearing on a single
square foot OF ground. The popula-
ton of this strange city was, of course,
enorDous.
AZ 70 the explauation of the building
Of the cicads city, according to Mr..
Lander IL was due to the uncommon
heat which prevailed in the month of
April. The heat penetrated the earth
and stirred the pups, which lay there
awaiting their dnal change, to prema-
turs eetivitysrs Thsy then ascended to
the sprfacs q ths ground. and while
yet awaiting transformation, added
tho hsfsns extsnsions 10 their burrows
for pfotsetaon from the heat.
Other persons have thought that the
huts might be intended TO protect the
burrows from the inflow of water, but
the city just described was situated on
high, dry ground. In favor Of the ex-
paaassioa Of Nj. Lander are the facts
that the soil where the huts existed
was thin, and much Of the ground had
been covered with woods and under
growth recently burned of. This
stripping Of the soil of its covering en-.

started on their way to Constantine
pie This was done under the orders
Of the sultan. No one knew that the
prisoners were to be transferred until
they actually had left Van, the order
having come from Constantinople late
Saturday night Instead OF being
dragged along on foot, the men were
mounted on caravan horses.
The Associated Press correspondent
now in a position to say that a second
revolutionary band is in existence
across the Persian frontier, but what
its immediate plans are, he has not as
yet been able to learn. The leaders of
this band were among those met by
, the correspondent in Persian city
early in May. The band is divided,
one part going forward under Henry
Williams, and the other remaining in
Persia to forward arms and secure re-
cruits.
The news comes from Constantinople
and London that Armenian reforms
are to be carried out by the Turks
has caused the most intense despair
and CONSERVATION among the Arme-
mans of Eastern Turkey. The wretched
people expected a mountain of help
from Great Britain and they have re-
ceived nothing at all. The situation is
most desperate. l am informed by all
classes of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mer-
chants, school teachers, farmers and
l., revolutionary leaders-that unless the
reforms are carried out under the con-
troll of the Christian powers, the Ar
menians will have to choose between
emigration and revolution. The people
are worse off now than they have been
at any time in their history, and the
prosecutions go steadily on from day
to day.
The government is now collecting the
whole years taxes in advance, which
is a most unheard of and cruel pro-
ceeding. They demand is accumulated
by beatings and bayonet thrustS.
Thousands of poor villagers are living
on roots and greens, and on the Moush
plains ths wretched Sassounlis are lit
orally starving to death. The protests
of Great Britain and America have
fallen on contemptuouS deaf ears. That
Turkey has no intention of carrying
out any sort of reforms is shown by
, the daily increase of pressure now be
, ing put upon the helpless Armenians.
Eastern Turkey is surprisingly full
of revolutionary agents who are NOV
ing from place to place. One left for
Persia last night and another will go
tomorrow night. This is undeniably
] the critical time in the Armenian stu
! alton.
