CORK soLEs SAVED A LIFE.
Exciting Experience of n Man on n
Third-RaiI Track.

(From the South Manchester News.)
Mr. West, a young man from Michigan,
who is a travelling salesman for the Ar
mour Beef Company. of Chicago repre-
senting the Boston division, was in New
Britain this week and in passing along
the street with customer they had occas-
ion to cross the tracks of the third-rail
cars. The young man and his friend were
engaged in earnest conversation at the
moment, and the New Britain man. sup
posing that the stranger knew Of the dan
ger that turks in the third rail- did not
sound a note of warning until the young
man placed one foot on the third rail,
when, realizing instantly what had occur
red. he shouted to the drummer 10 be-
ware. Without knowing to what the shout
referred and thinking that 1t must have al
Mded to an approaching car or train, al
though he could see neither. the Western
er hurried to step across the tracks and
in doing so placed his foot on another Of
the rails, thus completing the circuit He
stepped quickly over unframed, whereas
his companion expected to see him q
corpse. as about $4,000 volts of electricity
were speeding through the wires at the
time A lady who chancd to be passing
by on hearing the alarm and in expecta-
ion of witnessing a tragedy fell in a
swoon.
The sturdy young westerner, who had
never seen the tracks of third-rail train
before. did not know what all the excite
ment was about. and on being told of
what he had done his blood began to run
cold and he said that he never experienced
such a strange sensation as came over
him at that moment He also stated that
he did not feel the slightest electrical
shock while on the tracks.
The explanations Of his almost miracu-
Ious escape was in the fact that he had
pair of cork soles underneath the leather
soles on his shoes. and these proved to be
sufficiently powerful as noneonductors TO
save him from the effects Of the deadly
current.
He realizes that theseare the most valu-
able pair Of shoes he ever owned, or hopes
to own. and no doubt will keep them as an
heirloom in his family and pass them
down to his posterity-
On investigation it was found that the
leather soles were burned where it came
in contact with the live rail-.
The young man says that there are no
thir,l-rail cars or trains in the West and
that Therefore. while he had read Of such
things in the newspapers the fact had
never made a serious impression on his
mind before lie is not apt to forget this
experience. however. The young man was
in town here yesterday and gave the facts
substantially as stated to a representative

fecte1 IN the evening. Az first the exteri-
or OF the insect is soft and fuzzy. but In a
few hours the body and wings become hard.
The female lays her eggs in groove
which she cuts in one of the outermost
twigs o. her place of abode These hatch
out in about six weeis. In the meantime
there has been some growth in The wood
and the grub finds itself Imprisoned. To
escape. it bores its way out. In doing SO
it generally sewers the twig. but having
done So ii falls to the ground and pro-
ceeds to burrow. Il then enters upon the
long period of seclusin. which has given
rise to the popular term. 'seventeen-year
locust" The parents continue to move in
the upper circles of society until the chilis
of autumn terminate their careers.
There is another cicada which energies
from the earth thirteen years from the
time of its matching. This species is COM
mon in the southern part OF the United
States. while the seventeen-year insect in
habits the northern part. But, while the
period is always exact, either thirteen or
seventeen years, there is scarcely year
when the cicada is not due In some part of
the country.
The damage which this creature does Is
not to be compared with that OF the true
locust, or the army worm, or the tent
caterpillar. AS soon as the grub cuts its
way out of its birthplace its ability to do
harm has come to an end. Indeed, it is
questionable whether the slight pruning
which the s;cada gives to tree ought to
be regarded as harmful at all, and it is
doubtful whether II would be worth while
to try to fight the insect. However, that
seems to be out OF the question anyhow. fer
as soon as the grub gets out where poison
could reach him he drops to the earth and
is out of his enemy's way. II is futile to
attack ham, therefore.

A TREE TRIMMING INSECT.
The seycnteen-Year Locust, and It's
FCndness for Oaks.
From the New York Tribur


In some Of the suburbs of New York
during the last three or four weeks the
oak trees have undergone an experience
that has mystifed the initiated. Boughs,
varying in length from fifteen to twenty
inches, have been cut OFF by an insect
with boring apparatus.
These boughs have either been partially
broken off and have hung for day or two,
until there was wind enough entirely to
detGch them, or else they have been com
pletely severed at the outset. In the for
mer case the leaves have usually turned
yellow before they fell to the ground The
foliage remaining on the tree-and this is
fully 90 per cent of what was originally
there's unaffected by the mischief
maker
Experts have no difficulty In recognizing
in these phenomena the operations of the
grub Of the cicada, sometimes Incorrectly
called the Seventeen year locust" For
reasons best known to themselves. ento-
mologists apply the term locust" only TO
the grasshopp5T. The cicada is distantly
related to the locust. but 1t lives in trees.
whereas the true locust finds its sphere Of
activity on the surface OF the earth The
cicada, too, has a sh Ill song that is ually
heard at evening. This is true of the
katydid's song, and the katydid also abides
in treetops. But the notes of the two in
sects are not at all alike.
The life history OF the cicada is substan-
TALLY as follows: In the larval form it re-
mains buried in the earth; at a depth rang
ing from two to twenty feet for seventeen
years. During this time it feeds on the
roots of herbaceous plants and trees by
means of long pointed beak. 1t is alleged
that it also abzorbs nutriment through the
hairs on its probosgis. but natnraltstss re-
peat the statement with caution and appa-
rent misgivings. The cieada grub seems to
have ANGST as many skins as an onion,
but, unlike the onion. it does not have them
all at once. While leading Il subterranean
existence the grub of the cicadG sheds Its
skin frequently, but repeats the perform
arce only once or twice after emerging into
daylight
The year having arrived for this curious
organism to enter upon its more active
career. 1t burrows upward through the soil
late in May and as soon as it reaches the
surface it climbs an adjacent tree, pre-
terring an oak. The ascent Is usually ef-
