seventeen Year Locugts Due on June 1.


Professor B. Smith, of Rutgers College,
and State Entomologist for New Jersey,
has taken a day off from his pursuit of
mosquitoes and issued warning as to the
approach of the seventeen-year locusts. In
the forest and orchard lands of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other States,
the periodical cicada, or seventeen year
| locusts," are slowly maturing and about
June l will leave their beds for flight, he
says.
This insect, of which Professor Smith has
some fine specimens, is most curious crea-
ture 1t is from an inch to an inch and a
half long, the body being dark, while the
wings are CLASSY with delicately defined
veins. The eyes are orange color. With
the exception of butterflies, there are
scarcely any insects known that are more
| beautiful.
The locusts from which this years brood
is due last appeared in 1885, and attacked
young trees. The tender shoots were split
and in the cavities eggs were deposited.
The trees attacked were killed and the fall
ing branches left the eggs in the ground.
There, for seventeen years, the insects have
been developing.
WILL APPEAR ABOUT JUNE |.
Professor Smith has just received bottle
full of specimens taken from the ground
near Baltimore, where the insects mature
about two weeks earlier than in New Jer-
sey. The wings of these specimens have
just begun to appear.
By June l the brood in New Jersey will
leave the earth, and those in New York a
little later. Millions upon millions of the
insects will attack trees to deposit their
eggs. For month the ravages will con-
tinue; then the cicada will disappear almost
as suddenly as it arrived.
The creatures do not live long after de-
posting eggs Their short month of life
after seventeen years of inactivity is de-
voted entirely to the perpetuation Of the
species
| The last big invasion of the cicada was
in 1884 This, of course, was different
brood from the one due this year, and its
successor will arrive in 1911. These two
broods are the largest known in New Jer-
sey.
1.-THE present brood,' says Prof Smith,
twill extend throughout New Jersey, the
southern part of New York, the northern
part of Pennsylvania and westward about to
the Mississippi, and more or less south.
FRUIT RAIsERs WARNED.
s'In New York State the insects will be
most plentiful along the Hudson river, and
in New Jersey along the Delaware. Warn
ings have been issued to fruit raisers in
New Jersey not to set out any young trees
this spring because of the coming of the
insects
'There are twenty-one known broods of
cicada in this country. The colonies in the
North appear at intervals of seventeen years,
while those in the South develop every
thirteen years. 1 look for the cicada to
appear about Memorial Day."
| On the left wing of all the insects that
appeared in 1894 was the letter 'W, u
clearly defined by veins in the filmy struc-
ture. Throughout the country the super
stitious declared that this was an indication
that there would be war before the cicada
again appeared, prophecy that has been
curiously fulfilled.

HOW cheap Baking Powder is Made,

The Health Department of New York has
seized quantity of so-called cheap baking
powder, which it found in that city. At
teHtion was attracted to it by the low
price at which it was being sold in the
department stores. Samples were taken
and the chemist of the Health Department
reported the stuff to be ian alum powder, y
which analysis showed to be composed
chiefly of alum and pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be danger
GUS to health, and several pounds were
carted to the offal dock and destroyed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with these so.
called cheap articles of food. They are
sure to be made from alum, rock or Other
injurious matter. In baking powders, the
high class, cream of tartar brands are the
most economical, because they go farther il
use and are healthful beyond question.
