NOTABLE PERsoNAGES.
VIII Accompany Prince Henry
s. This Side.

Berlin, Ger.-The secretary Of the
imperial admiralty, Admiral Won Tir-
pitz and the chief of Emperor Viii
liam's personal military staff, Gen.
von Plessen. are to accompany Prince
Henry OF Prussia on the Iatter's visit
to the United States. l.. o.
The other members of the princes
suite besides Admiral Baron Won Sick
sndorf and Adults. Won SchwiLd and
yon Egdy, whose names have already
been snnounced, will be Capt Won
Troter, the emperor's general aid de
camp, Capt. Won Mueller, Commander
von Grumme, who is also an aid de
camp Of the emperor and staff sur
geon Reich. His majesty definitely
made these selections after conference
Friday in which admiral Won Sicken-
dorf took part at the old Schloss.
Admiral Won Sickendorff, in giving
the correspondent of the Associated
Press these names said: "The emperor
personally. is making all the arrange
ments that can be made on this side.
The details as to how Prince Henry
shall spend his time in the United
States are left to Secretary Hay and
DR.. Won Holleben, but our general
idea of the, dates is this: We arrive
on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm February
%, ct New York. Prince Henry will
60 on board the Hohenzollern and will
stay there It'll the launching of the
emperor's new yacht, which we think,
will probably be about February "a.
We 60 to Washington to see the pres
ident and perhaps will stay there sew
sral days; then we make the most OF
the next few days in seeing other
sites returning to New York for two
more days before we sail for home on
the Deutchland, March 8. This gen.
sral design you see fills up about four
weeks, one week in going each way
and fortnight in the United States"
Regret was expressed at the fact
hat the emperor could not visit the
United States.
"He would like to-" said Admiral
von Sickendorff, "but we cannot spare
him for 90 long journey now"
The Admiral was asked If it were
possible that the emperor might visit
tae United States at some future time.
1T woulj please him greatly" an
swsred Won Sickendorf. 1T is not
IN impossibility."

PESTS OF THE AIR
VISIT FROM sEvENTEEN-YEAR
 LOCUST EXPECTED SOON.
Are Not as Destructive to Vegetation i as Commonly Supposed-Live But c Brief Period Above Ground
 and Pass Away,
Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago Chronicle.
 The seventeen-year locust is not locust at all, in the scientific meaning of the word. but is a cicada, which serves to distinguish it from the grasshopper. This eeventeen-year cicada. which will always be called by the name of locust. has a peculiar interest in that it is distinctly American and has the longest life period of any known insect. In its adult stage it bores into twigs and branches to make a receptacle in which to place its eggs and in that way sometimes permanently 1njures the body of the plant. Otherwise the insect is harmless. eating practically nothing during it's entire stage of exist ence above ground and not being equipped with weapons of war is quite incapable of resenting approach or resisting attack.
 A Much Feared Pest.
 Fears of great injury to crops are not unreasonable when the damage is occa- stoned by unusual insect outbreaks is considered, for this cicada emerges from the ground through holes that practically make the earth's crust like a seive. swarms over trees and bushes and makes the air vibrate with its shrill, discordant notes. During its short life above ground it leaves very decided marks of ts pres ence in the egg sits which thickly fill all the emaler twigs and branches, and which always cause temporary damage and frequently kill the plant or shrub altogether. It is fortunate that this cic- ada chooses to make it's appearance in the woodlands. else it's work would be seriously felt by horticulturists It never seeks the best place to gain a foothold in the world. It ascends the first bush, tree O.. shrub it comes across and as soon as possible gets ready to enter upon ats life work, that of propagating it's spe- cies.
 During its brief period of life it attends actively to the needs of continuing it's species, is sluggish in movement rarely taking wing and seldom. if ever. food For four or five weeks the male sings his

All Kept the Secret.

St Louis Globe Democrat.
 In January last when the Gridiron Club. that most famous of newspaper men S organiza tions, held their annual dinner, President Roosevelt was the guest of honor. It is an unwritten law of the club that nothing which occurs in the banquet hall shall be given publicity. It will do no harm, however to refer to one statement made by the President in responding to a toast.
 If I wish to keep a secret" he said. "I always take the newspaper men into my confidence"
 The President of the Grldiron Club is Robert J. Wynne. He presided at the banquet. and President Roosevelt, as the guest of honor, was seated at his right. Just before the President started on his trip to South Carolina he sent word to Wynne to come to the White House be- fore a. m. When Wynne got there the President asked him to accept the place of First Assistant Postmaster General Western Senator had been urging one of his constituents for the appointment, and until this Senator could Communi- cate with his candidate and arrange mat ters satisfactorily the President did not wish his offer to Wynne to become public.
 How shall we keep this out of the pa pers, Wynne?' as,,ed the President.
 By taking the newspaper men into our confidence"
 It was donc Wynne notified a major itv. perhaps. of the 200 correspondents at the National Capital of the offer made to him by the President. and asked that nothing be said about it for two days. Not d man betrayed the confidence re- posed in him. It was q good illustration of the ethics in the corps of Washington correspondents. Wynne was one of them suddenly transformed into a public off cial What he had asked of the boys had been asked of him hundreds of times in the past thirty years in which he has been an active newspaper man.

 Where They Resort.
 The distribution of the seventeen-year cicada is more or less evenly scattered over dozen States, mainly lying north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi River. The appearance of the insects, however. is at widely varying periods, in some sections being at seasons that would suggest totally dissimilarity of species. broods. each of which is distinct from all others. In 1898 a brood made its ap- pearance in many different States, mainly Tn the southwest and from the fact that this brood overlapped in it's territorial possessions that of later brood led many to believe the seventeen-year locusts had appeared four years too soon. Those that appeared in 1898 were of the thirteen year variety and belonged to a small brood that matured in that year. During 19O2 the most important brood will make It's regular appearance. It is the seven teen-year cicada and far outnumbers any other brood known Its last appearance was in 1885, and then it created universal astonishment by reason of the myrlads that fairly gorged the woods, orchards and every form of vegetable life llpon which foothold could be maintained
 The locusts spread over a territory reaching from Texas to Maine and from Alabama to Wisconsin. The insects do not appear a the same time all over that great section. but at different times and In widely separated States and local ltles. This is accounted for by reason of the fact that there are numerous hroods Of the seventeen-year variety. each brood maturing at different seasons or years. This variation in the maturing of the hroods has never been accounted for by naturalsts.
 The Region to be Visited.
 Warning against planting fruit trees or any small fruit or bushes nas been issued by the Government experts who declare the seventeen-yesr locusts will come again next spring and summer in numbers as great as ever known before. The entire State of Indiana will be visited by the pest except the counties of Howard Mar shall, Ohio. Porter, Pulaski and Starke. But one county in Alabama will be vis- tied St. Clair. and that very sparingly. Three counties in Delaware will be wis tied and the entire District of Columbia. Thirteen counties in Georgia and a con siderable portion of Illinois will also suffer this year A considerable portion of Maryland, Massachusetts and Michi-

gan will have a recurrence of the locusts the first since 1885. Portions of New Jersey. New York. North Carolina and Ohio will entertain the unwelcome vis- itors and, judging from the number that appeared in 1885. Ohio will have a house full of company. Pennsylvania. Tennes- see, Vermont, a large portion of Virginia and one county in Wisconsin, Sauk will have the locusts in more or less limited numbers. No other portions of the United States will be visited in 1902 by the To- custs than those mentioned.
 Fruit growers in those sections would do well to give some heed to the warning of the Agricultural Department and post pone buying fruit trees and other small shrubs and bushes for transplanting until after the noisy army has departed, which will he in the late summer or possibly soon after harvest is over in the sections named
