THE MALE CRICKET.

Curious Treat He Develops For the
Lady Of Hts Choice.
In the American Naturalist j. T..
Hancock gives an interesting descrip-
ton Of some Of the habits of the
striped meadow cricket. The most
striking part of the account deals
with the allurements which the male
crickets possess. When he wishes to
attract the female the male cricket
raises his fore wings vertically above
his head and by rubbing them over
each other produces high pitched
singing, or, perhaps better, shrilling.
When the females attention has been
attracted she goes to the male and
proceeds to take advantage of the re-
freshments offered. Upon the mates
back, situated well forward ON the
thorax, Is little depression or well in
which small quantity Of semifuid
material is secreted. Climbing up on
the males back, the female eats this
apparently delicious morsel with great
eagerness. It Is evidently something
especially choice which II formed
there for her especial benefit. This
proceeding suggests that treating as a
means Of winning lady's love is not
confined to the ailurements Of ice
cream and soda water. Golfers

be converted, without being diverted,
into swimming pool for boys by
building a dam at the point where the
banks do little extra shelving and
tend to form a natural basin. The bot
tom should be spaded out and made

shape. The dan. itself can be made by
family Of boys at the cost Of the
lumber and nails involved. The en-
bankments are sodded. The sides Of
the spillway are made Of wooden posts
driven into the ground and boarded
up. This makes a box up affair. or
rather two boxes, one on each side Of
the stream. These boxes are filed
with sand, rocks and sods to make a
solid cubic piece of resistance. The
sodded >epbankments run across the
valley or depression Of the brook hol-
low to the higher ground. BY means
Of levers pole (nlaying into q
wooden jawed socket and weighted
with rock, q pieces Of iron)-the
water gate can be opened against q
strong headway Of water. The water
flows over the top Of the spillway
when It Is closed, and by raising the
gate the pond can be emptied or re-
duced to the normal level of the brook.

Question Of Abolishing Sick
Benefits Will Come Before
This Years Meeting
lie PRIVILEGE is ABUSED
General Impression That tn Grand
Lodge Will Decide to Do Away With
tho custom-Rathbone Sisters to
Meet at Davenport Same Time
Permanent Location Talked.

Special to Tlmes-Republican.
Davenport, July 29.-The grand
lodge meeting of knights of Pythias
and the grand encampment of the uni
form rank of the same order will be
held here beginning August O. At this
time the grand lodge of the Rathbone
Sisters will also meet at Davenport.
The Rathbone Sisters received their
first recognition by the knights OF
Pythias at the last meeting. and this
will be the second time they have met
together.
The most important matter of BUSH
ness to come before the knights OF
Pythias is to decide whether the sick
benefit is to be abolished entirely or
whether it shall remain optional with
the individual societies, as at present.
The frequent abuse of this sick bene
fit by different lodges has brought the
matter into prominence again and it
Is very likely that it will be abolished
by the ruling Of the grand lodge.
The question of a permanent location
for grand lodge meetings will again
appear this year for solution. On ac-
count of the extravaganza in former
years on the part Of the lodges which
entertained the grand lodge a disas-
trous precedent Of liberality has been
established and not many Iowa towns
are anxious to do the entertaining.
Consequently permanent location is
being advocated, with the idea Of maxi
ing the annual meeting a purely BUSH,
ness matter.
The work OF the Rathbone Sisters
convention opens Tuesday, August T.,
with the public installation of officers
This will be the first public installation
in the history of the Rathbone Sisters.
The Columbus junction officers are the
ones to be installed and the ceremony
will be under the direction Of Mrs.
Frankie Palmer, Of Des Moines. On
Wednesday and Thursday the business
session of the grand lodge will be held
in the Columbian hail. On Wednes-
day night the women are planning
moonlight excursion on the Mississippi
and on Thursday night they viii at
tend the grand ball given in honor OF
the visiting Knights of Pythias ana
the members of the uniform rank.

NO WORK, NO PAY,
THINKS DAWSON
( Continued from First page.)

The state university Of Iowa has
some very able material in the way OF
professors of which the state at large
may not be aware. Professor Nuttlns
and Professor Wickham are each con-
nected with, the Smithsonian Institute
as we'll as with the Iowa university.
Professor Wickham is perhaps the BEST
authority there Is in Aiuer;ca on bugs,
and Professor Nutting stands at the
head in the matter Of birls and fishes,
especially those in this country. Both
men work each summer for the lation-
al institute Professor Nutting u; at the
head of the department OF tbs institute
and Professor Wickham regularly
makes classifcations for the instttu-
ton.
An interesting story is told of Pro-
lessor Wickham. He is man very
deeply absorbed in his work as men Ct
genius generally are, and when inter
ested is obliviors to all that goes on
about him. On an occasion he was In
a Missouri town where there were cleo
trio lights which attracted the bugs.
icing DESTROYS of making some collec-
tons Of bugs INDECENT to MISSOURI es-
rar.ally he took station In from
pate. glass window inside of which
tllc:e was an electric light. Every now
ana then the professor would make a
grab and capture q rare species of the
bug world which he promptly deposited
in bug box lie carried under his arm.
tie was grabbing bugs worth a dollar
apiece and a large crowd was attract
ID to which the professor paid no
-.ore attention than tho they were not
there. Finally Il policeman placed aim
under arrest on the theory that ne was
an escaped lunatic. 1t Is told by those
who know Professor Wickham that he
is capable on sufficient provocatlon Of
becoming very angry and he displayed
1t on this occasion, succeeding in con-
vincing the officer that he had intruded
when there was no occasion.
Not long ago Professor Barth came
to the state university as d ragged
boy and worked assiduously attracting
practically no attention. Then Profess
sor Nutting discovered that the hoy
had some ability and he gave him
some especial attention. Professor
Barth is now the third man from the
top in the Smithsonian Institute and is
making several thousands a year on
the lecture platform besides.
