THE SEVENTEEN
YEAR LOCUSTS

The advance guard OF al immense
swarm of seventUen~yFAr locusts" is
predicted for June by II. Garman, of
Lexington, Ky, state etymologist.
The territory over which the wing
ed host will spread. says Professor Gar
man. embraces West Virginia. Ken
tucky, Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama,
Georgia. Missouri, Illinois. Ohio In
diana. Pennsy lvania and the forests of
New York. This means the devasta-
tiop of fruit trees and young forest
trees in those states. The main body
will arrive next year.
When the last brood swept over the
country seventeen years ago. the te-
males deposited their eggs in the wigs
of the fruit and other succulcnt trees
by piercing the outer bark and laying
eggs in cavity near the pith. In a
short time the eggs Matched and the
resulting caterpillars fell to the ground
| They furrowed into the earth and liv-
ed among the roots on the sap which
they sucked from them for sixteen
years.
Popular interest in the appearance
| of these insects which are seen only
once in seventeen years, is revived by
| Professor Garman' S statement, and the
superstitious declare that their ap-
pearanoe at this time means the be-
ginning or the ending of some big war.
On their transparent wings in red let
ters of fire is wrought the letter Nv"
which tradition says means war.
Hence the prophets say that great
European war will begin or the pres
ent Russo Japanese war will end this
year. probably within two months.
They point out that at the last appear
ance of the Nightingale of the
Nymphs, 3" as the ancient Greeks call
them, the United States was troubled
with Indian uprisings and strikes. In
1927 the Modoc Indian uprising aud
| the Franco Prussian war were brought
to close In 1866 the Orimean war
was brought to a close by the appear
ance of the seventeen-ye locusts. y
The "seventeen-yesr locust is a
species of the harvest fly and appears
every seventeen years. The males have
tremendous drums under their wings,
and with the vibrations of the mem
branes across this drum they make a
wierd whirring sound that resembles
the word "Phsroah. "
Scientists think the larvae burrow
into the ground sometimes as deep as
twenty five feet They go through
twenty five or thirty changes and
when ready to emerge. dig their way
up through the earth incased in a
transparent shell. They come up thous
ands in a single night and early in the
morning are seen cutting their way
through their shell, which is soft and
whitish. Their tender bodies become
hard as soon as the sun strikes their
wings. They stay in the forests and
orchards, where they pierce the twigs
o: the peach, plum, apple, pear and
other nursery trees. The only way TO
prevent their ravages is TO shake them
OFT and keep the swarm III motion.
The English sparrOws eat them with
avidity. but their attack on swarm
of such bugs is futile.

A Bad Sign.

School insubordination, and the
tendency to rowdyism on the part OF
pupils attending our schools, are be-
coming unpleasant and disquieting fea-
lures of the times. When the boys, start
ing out in life, display an unruly dis
position there is discouraRing prospect
of their becoming orderly citizens.
These remarks are induced by an in
cident connected with the recent com
meuCement at the Shamokin High
School. A member of the graduating
class was suspended for some act which
the school authorities no doubt cor
reotly regarded as calling for merited
reproof, whereupon the whole class,
arrogating to themselves the right to
defy and oVeTrule the decision of their
superiors, threatened to take no part
in the commencement exercises unless
their offending companion were rein
stated.
1t would be unpIIdOnable weakness
on the part OF those IN authority TO
yield to so arrogant and impertinent n
demand. When class takes the stand
that the Shamokin High School class
insolently assumed, determined action
OH the part of the school board is de
manded. as well for the preservation of
the school disipliue, as for the future
good of the youths who had engaged
in so mistaken and misguided move
ment. 1t is bad thing for youths just
entering manhood to start out from
the school room with record of hsv-
ing defied their teachers and disfe
garded the regulations which ale re
quired for the discipline OF every
school.

Electric Railways.

Present indications point to the in
evitable adoption of the electric rail
way sy stem in place of steam. for su.
burban traffic. The tendency is in that
direction The current number of the
Railway Gazette gives reasons in a
careful examination of th9 growth of
electrical power for local interur ban
and long distance service. why cleo
tricity is fast displacing steam. With
electric power a greater number of
trains may be handled on given mum
Der of tracks where there are frequent
stops. as by accommodation trains
10 suburban points, the electric trains.
which are lighter, may be stopped and
started more quickly; there is absence
of smoke and dirt, and, finally, the
cost is much less. The sum of money
which will permit railroad TO run
one steam train an hour will pay for
the cost of running an electric train
every four minutes, according to the
Gazette; or, in other words, under
ordinary conditions, where the track
and terminals are built the cost of a
steam train service is fifteen times
greater, expressed in the frequency OF
the trains, than electrical service. If
the estimate of relative cost be cor
rect, it is apparent that it is only a
question of time when the big steam
railroad companies will be compelled,
in the interest of economy and sound
business principles, to handle a great
deal of their local or suburban traffic
with electric motive power. The
Gazette shows by the statistics of
many roads, wheIs the steam line has
been paralleled i'll suburban districts,
that the electric line has invariably
taken the local passenger traffic from
the steam road because of FREQUENT
trains and a fare which is lower than
the railroad can afford to meet.

THE CRITICAL PERIODS

DR.. A. W. CHASE'S NERVE PILLS.

When the child changes from girl

by their ability to supply 10 the nerv-
Gus system aud the organs affected, an

that enables them to accommodate them
selves rapidly and easily to the changes
taking place,
Mrs. Julia Rowland of No. 201 Pearl st.
Buffalo, writes;
Both myself and daughter, aged
II, are deeply indebted TO DR.. A W
Chase and his Nerve Pills They are
grand tonic to the nerves | used
them about year ago, to give me the
strength and vitality to go through the
ordeal that usually comes to woman
at change OF life, and found all the
nervousness, crying spells and weak
ness disappear in hurry. This led
me to give them to my daughter about
the time she began to have the endless
trouble some girls do in early life and
the medicine acted equally well with
her. She grew strong and steady-the
color became Rood-the languor and
lassitude disappeared and she was able
