The Two Glasses of Insects That Pre-.
duce Audible Sounds.
Insects that produce sounds audible
to human ears have been roughly divid
ed into two classes-nddlers and drum
mers. The grasshopper is a fiddler and
makes music by scraping its fore wings
against the rows of spinelike teeth that
ornament its thighs. The katydid also
plays an chronological fiddle. 1t pro
duces its notes by rubbing the inne,
side of the hind legs over the from,
wings.
The locust, on the other hand, is q
drummer, and a loud one too. His
drum is formed by a membrane stu.
ated at the base of the fore wing, and
ne can make forest ring with 1t. The
cicada, or seventeen year locust, car.
ries drum at the base Of the abdomen
and makes with it a noise that seems
to be quite as terrifying In the insect
world as that produced by the gorilla
pounding its resounding chest is among
Wild beasts. 1t is said that the cicada
somstimes frightens away its enemies
with the rattle Of its drum.
There are other drumming insects
which make good music, but the Violin
lists, after all. carry of the palm. for
the great insect soloist, the cricket Il a
fiddler.

There never was a massacre ON this

SNAKE DlvINITIEs.


Southwest Coast of India.
Serpent worship and the Precipitation
OF snake divinities, which once spread
all over Asia, still maintain a tena-
cious hold on the little native states of
Cochin and Travancore, on the south
west coast of India. Here Hindoos
high and low revere the cobra as they
did thousand years ago, and it is con-
sidered heinous crime to injure the
reptile or neglect its interests.
In the district of Travancore alone
there are between 1900 and 10000
shrines dedicated exclusively to the
worship of snakes which possess ex-
tensive and valuable properties for
their maintenance and for the cost OF
the ceremonies which the keepers have
to perform from time to time.
In these shrines the Hindoos set down
fantastic idols of serpents on a stone
base, and the shrine Is protected by q
mud wall. Householders to assure their
welfare should make offerings Of
dough, milk and cooked rice to the SER
pertine habitues of the shrine and
place lights and chant hymns in order
to be assured of their favor.
Every morning the king and queen of
the serpents are bathed, and fruit and
milk are offered to them, to be followed
at noon by cooked rice and fried grain.
On certain days the idols In grove and
household temple are carried In pro-
cession to the house, where propitia-
tary offerings are made. The presiding
functionary must be the eldest female
member of the family, who has to prac-
tice celibacy from the day she attains
the position.
At famous snake festivals at Travan-
core pious folk gather from all parts
to join in the worship, bringing offer
ings of gold, silver, grain, pepper,
spices, oil, sandalwood, silk and other
things. The cost of the festivals is de-
frayed by the revenues of the paddy
fields and gardens attached to the
shrines. 1t is believed that unless the
ceremonies are conducted with rever-
ence the largest cobras Of the grove
will come out and show themselves to
the members Of the house. The ma
tives also believe that snake bites in
the neighborhood Of these shrines new
er prove fatal. Be that as it may,
deaths from snake bites are very rare,
though many groves contain as many
as thirty cobras and the shrines in Ira
vancore number between fifteen and
twenty thousand.
The snakes of India are rarely az
gressive, but generally keep to them
selves, and. being SO kindly treated and
benevolently attended, it is not aston
ishing that they become docile and
harmless. All over Travancore the peo-
pie when they see a snake approaching
say, 'sI,he god is coming" and make
way for the divinity Children play
fearlessly about the groves while their
serpentine friends are gliding about or
basking in the sun and have never been
known to be harmed. When the groves
become overrun with serpents the sur
plus population is removed and sent to
other shrines, certain pious Brahmans
being especially applied to for this pur-
