One on Fitzhugh Lee.

Col. Watterson, who was in Wash
ington last week, sent to his paper,
the Courier Journal, good story on
Fitzhugh Lee which is going the
rounds of the National Capital. Here
is the story as Col. Watterson tells
it:
1t seems that out in the Western
part of Virginia there lives an old
Confederate veteran who was in Gen.
Fitz. Lees command during the war.
He and the General have always been
the greatest personal friends, and
when ever they met, long talk on
"old time" was sure to follow, full
Of "reminiscences Of the days when
they fought together for the Lost
Cause" A short time ago General
Lee was out in his old friends neigh
borhood aud as usual hunted him up.
This was the first time the two had
seen each other since the Spanish
war.
Much to General Lees surprise
the old man was very stiff in his
greeting to him. "Why, what's the
matter with you?" asked the Gen.
eral,
Nothing the matter with me, was
the reply.
"Why, you don't seem so cordial
and friendly as you use to be. Out
with it tell me what is wrong"
urged General Lee, knowing that
there was something wrong and being
anxious to find the reason for it.
"Well," said the old man, -" there
amt nothin' wrong with me and |
amt changed neither, but aencs I've
seen you this time there's only one
thing | want t happen.
What is that1" asked his former
leader, his curiosity now fully aroused.
81 want to die jest half an hour before
you do, Ginl."
"Why on earth have you such
desire as that2" asked General Lee,
utterly dumfounded by this time.
"Wty, l want to die jes half an
hour before you do, Gin'l, so as ! can
be on hand TO hear what Jubal Early
has to cay when you drop into He'll
with blue uniform on.

THE AERIAL STAGE.

This aerial stage will last but FIVE
or six weeks-a brief taste Of Para
disc after 80 long probation in Ha-
des. During this short period both
sexes will attend actively to the needs
of perpetuating their kind; will be
sluggish, helpless and with an absence
of fear, doubtless due their long life
of undisturbed isolation. They will
rarely fly and seldom if ever take food.
The male will be shorter lived than
his mate. For four or FIVE weeks only
will he sing his songs Of love and
courtship, while she for a little longer
time will busy herself blowing the
young branches Of trees to deposit her
eggs, which are to produce the subse-
quent generation, due in 1919 By
the middle of July all of the winged
cicadas will have fallen to the ground
again, perhaps within few feet Of
the holes from which they had issued
in May. Here they will be dismem-
bered and scattered about to carpet
the ground with their wings and body
fragments. Meanwhile the next gen.
Grafton will have descended into the
the earth to begin its II years Of sub
terranean celibacy and seclusiOn.
This periodical cicada is but one Of
500 species of cicada represented in
the world. OF his near kinsmen the
most familiar to us is the annual har-
vest fly of July and August. The
periodical species can be distinguished
always by the OraDge-red color of his
eyes, legs and of the marginal veins
OF hls CLASSY wings.
There are two races of periodical ci-
csdas, viz, the 17-year race, limited
to the northern half Of the country,
and the 13-year race, confined to the
Southern States, the latter appearing
once every 13 years, as indicated BY
it's name. The 17-year race Is the
larger of the two. The areas devss-
tated by these two races overlap to a
certain extent. Thus the l7-year ci-
cadas will appear as far south as
Georgia this month. These two di-
visions were not known to be distinct

When first she cleaned upon my sight;

To be a moments ornament;
Her eyes as stars of Twilight fair

But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful Dawn;
A dancing shape. an image gay.

A Spirit. yet Woman, too;
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin-liberty:
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records. promises as sweet:
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food;
For transient sorrows. simple wiles,
Praise blame love, kisses. tears. and smiles.
And now see with eyes serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller between life and death;
The reason firm. the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight. strength. and skill;
a perfect Woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort. and command;
And yet a Spirit still. and bright
With something of angelic light

wings closed over its back.

GROWS WINGS IN A FEW MINUTES.
Just before coming to the surface
this wingles., underground cicada has
been known in many localities to erect
odd little mud chimneys, projecting
sometime, six or eight inches above
the surface. These are constructed of
soft pellets of clay brought from be-
low and pressed firmly into place.
Why the cicada builds them prior to
his advent into the upper world no
entomologist can logically explain.
Now ifyou desire to see one of the
most remarkable phenomena Of nature
keep your eyes open during the even
ings of the last week in May, fOrtu-
nately it will be moonlight then. In
Georgia and the other more Southern
States the date of this phenomenon
may be trife earlier, perhaps from
the 18th to the Goth Of May.
Select a patch of open soil, prefer
ably under an old orchard tree, and
there institute close watch just as
the sun is setting. As soon as that
great orb of day shall have hidden its
face, the brown, wingless insects will
emerge from their holes with rush
and scramble for the nearest tree,
bush, weed, pole, stump or fence. In
some localities the ground will be lit
erally alive and hidden. BY 9 p. N.
the bulk Of the army will have risen.
A few strsgglers will continue until
midnight. All will fasten themselves
to some selected point, preferably
leaf or twig, and within about an hour
after setting each will be seen, on
close scrutiny, to neatly split his
parchment-like shell down the back
from collar to waistband. Forthwith
will be seen gradually emerging from
this aperture what appears to be
creamy white worm with pink eyes
and heavy black eyebrows. This crea-
ture will extract himself by srching
his back and finally hanging head
downward still grasping the nearby
leaf or branch. At either side of his
neck will be seen two fn-like adorn-
ments go small that they might be
mistaken for ears. Upon these you
must concentrate your gaze. They
will perceptibly swell and expand,
and before you will have realized the
miracle they will spread out into long,
transparent, flowing wings with beau
tiful white veins. Thus they will
shoot out, like the petals Of the moon
flower, until they extend beyond the
rapidly Transforming insects tail. ain
the moonlight such tree looks for all
the world as though it were full OF
beautiful white blossoms in various
stages of expansion, said DR.. Riley,
late chief entomologiSt Of the Govern
ment.
Only 20 minutes will have slasped
between the splitting Of the brown
shell worn SO many years below ground
and the full expansion Of the wings.
If you will rise early next morning
and examine these cicadas before
dawn you will discover that during
the night they have assumed the dark
colors characterizing them in their as-
rial stage.

until so years ago. They bear to
each other an absolute resemblance IN
structure, eoloration and modes OF
life, but do not interbreed when thrown
together. One race appears to be the
ofshoot of the other, the difference in
period being due probably to the diff
ference in climate affecting the parent
stock. Neither race has yet appeared
in Northern New England, in the
peninsula of Florida or in the region
west of the Rockies.
1t seems probable to Mr.. Marlstt
that both the 17-year and l3-year ci-
cada originally composed one great
brood, and that insuffciency of TODD
or unfayorable temperature at one
time broke up their regular and uni
uniform periodicity. Scattering indi-
viduals now appear the year before
and the year after great broods are
due. In fact, some periodical cicadas
come out of the ground each year in
various sections, but all these fret
serve their long apprenticeship below
ground.

Referring to the alleged attitude of

here said yesterday to the represent

they considered President Zelaya's
