How Insects Make Music.

The katydid has a wing that is very
curious to look at, says Laura Roberts.
in -Four Feet, Two Feet. and No
Feet" You have seen this little insect,
l have no doubt. Its color is light
green, and just where the wing joins
the body there is a thick ridge, and
another On the wing. On this ridge
there is a thin but strong skin, which
makes a sort of drumhead.
1t is the rubbing of these two ridges
or drumheads together that makes the
queer noise you have heard. There is
no music in it certainly. The insects
could keep quiet if they wished, but
they must enjoy making the noise.
The katydid sometimes makes two
rubs on it's drumhead and sometimes
three. You can fancy she says,"Katy
did," "She did" or "She didn't" The
minute it is very dark they begin.
Soon the whole company are at work.
AS they rest after each rubbing, it
seems as if they answered each other.
Did you know that bees hum from
under their wings? 1t is not the stir

for miles around, while the stump
speaker has one or two members of a
few families in the immediate neigh

Hamburg has left behind in the toAal

money than any other two harbors in

score of years to perfect her terminal
facilities. Her system of auavs and
docks and warehouses is the best in
existence, and the $685. 600 900 laid out
on these improvements by her munich

bringing rich fruit. All these improve

A Novelist's Defense of Fiction.

1t is astonishing how hypercritical
the good public can be about its novel
reading. 1t reads novels from one end
of the earth to the other, but it is al
ways ~apOlogizing to itself for reading
them, and pretending to read some
thing more solid.
Against this playful masquerade l
make an open stand, and say boldly
that fiction is popular all wei the
world at the beginning of the twentieth
century, because Of all human agen-
cies it best answers the worlds needs,
being the best educator, the best peace
maker, the best purifier and the best
comforter humanity finds in literature
to-day.
1t is not the spirit of democracy, but
the spirit of brotherhood, that will
bring in the reign of universal peace,
If it ever comes; and surely there is
no better agency at work in creating
the spirit of brotherhood among the
races than the simple stories which
are being interchanged in TRANSACTIONS.
Russia was merely a hell-born empire
to some of the people of Great Britain
until Tolstoi and Turgeneff began to
light up the dark heart of it with hui
man beings like ourselves, and once
having seen this the Russian moujik
became own brother to the English
peasant, with the same joys, the same
sorrows, the same needs.
In life We too frequently see wrong
doing victorious and r~ightdoing in the
dust; the evil man growing rich and
dying in his bed, and the good man be-
coming poor and dying in the streets.
But our days are few, u view is linn
tied. We cannot watch the event long
enough, to answer the craving of the
human soul for compens. ton, to show
us that success may be the worst fail
