while the inner pair make up the bow
and fiddle. Near the base of these
inner wings is located a set of strong
veins. BY bringing the veins on each
wing into contact and rubbing them
together. the Song of the locust is
produced.
A talented musician of the orches-
ira variety is the common little grass

wing and he psss his hind leg for a
bow. On this leg is a line of little
bead-like prcminances, from each of
which grows number of fine hairs.
When the grasshopper draws this leg
back and forth over the violin ar
rangement on his wing, his love
songs swell out on the air.

The use of the telephone in this
country is increasing at a marvellous

L lnulng 1t impossible TO secure the

ed to let the matter drop for the time
being. The treaty viii be up for con-
sideration at the special session If
Congress next fall, when another ef-
fort will be made to secure its ratifi-
cation. Meantime, as result OF the
inability or unwillingness of the Sena-
tors TO adopt any rational and intelli-
gent policy, the whole case of the ma
TONS relations with Santo Domingo
remains in a hopeless tangle. In ac-
cordance with the award made by a
court of arbitration last year the Uni
ted States will continue to collect the
revenues of the Dominica government
in liquidation of the claims of an
American company, but its status
there will be vague and uncertain and
it will be powerless to do anything to-
ward satisfying the claims of Santo
Domingo'S European creditors. In de-
Ginning to permit the President to form
se~-@ty relations with the Dominican
government and take full charge of its
custom houses without first securing
the assent of the Senate, the opinion
seems to prevail that the members OF
that body acted well within their pre-
negatives. However, they have failed
to substitute any rational plans or out
line any intelligent course of action in
the premises. The Senators simply
have tied the Presidents hands and
left him to muddle through the situa-
ton as best he can.
