L0CUSTS NOT DUE THIS YEAR.

Referring to inquiries in regard
to the temperance of locusts in
Maryland, DR.. Caswell Grave as
sociate in zoology at the Johns
Hopkins University, said:
The cicada, or, as it is COM
monty called, the locust, is gener-
ally known i'll this country, owing
to the great numbers in which it
appears at long intervals of time.
This periodical appearance is due
to the long time required for the
nymphs to obtain their growth
either II or IS years-and to the
fact that all the members of one
generation appear in the adult
state at about the same time. The
I7-year species will not be seen
here again until 1919,
1.-The eggs hatch in about six
weeks. The young nymphs, find
ing no attraction in a world of
sunshine and flowers, drop to the
ground and bury themselves in the
earth, thus beginning voluntary
seclusion which lasts for years.
They live by sucking the juice
from the roots Of trees. In Nav
of the seventeenth year after the
retirement to their earthly clois-
tiers they crawl up to the surface

THE VASTNESS OF NEW YORK.
How the Metropolis Loomed Upon q
Western Visitor.

New York is to the United
States what Westminster Abbey
is to the British empire; the ulti-
mate expression of the genius and
character of the people, reached
without conscious effort and per-
feCted by the inevitable process of
time. They have Chatham 5 bones
in the abbey, but hidden away in
Wall street, gray with age and 81
lent, is the hall where George
Washington took the first oath Of
office.
They sing the requiem of the
mighty dead behind the great
rood screen of the noble English
Church, but by day and night to
every window Of New York there
rises the sonOrous note of its count
less traffic, blending and musical
as the noise of rocking surf on a
storm swept coast Which may
be poor poetry, but it is good fact.
New York cannot be taken in de-
tail as first impression. It's too
big for the focus camera. 1t battles
ordinary language in describing it.
Words tinkle down in mere vast
ness like pebbles from the face of a
cliff. 1t demands the iambics of a
Milton. Any man who says that
New York, on a first view, does
not overwhelm him with its mag
nitude and delight him with its
beauty must be very small man
indeed.
And it is surprisingly beautiful.
Even the Flatiron building is that.
Photographs of that building are
meaningless. 1t is an architecture
al evolution, the only possibility
for the existing surroundings,
neither ugly nor pretentious And
that is true of every other rof the
great hotels and Offices and stores
that march down Broadway and
stand sentinel in the Park Row.
The visitor who would attempt to
criticise this place or compare it
with any other city anywhere. at
first sight, would play tin whistle
in a cathedral.

And next to the vastness of the
city, its intermediate streets, its
roofs that seem to support the sky,
Is its fresh cleanness. The streets
seem scrubbed and polished, the
buildings holystoned, the people
newly risen. If they are tagged
or overworked they don't show it.
If they are hurried they are never
incOnsiderate of strangers, if they
are broken by misfortune their
eyes are never red with weeping,
if they are the wastrels of constant
pleasure they are never gross and
always gracious. They are, for

of his career. With the Infamous
choice of this hour he began the

an inhumanly steady hand, a gold
Ell platter from the banquet-table,

In the South these insects live

There is a common species of

years for its development, and as
there are two broods of this species
the adults appear every year. It's

The Teachers Lantern.

A character in which there is no
balance-wheel of principle is des-
picable. When such a one reach
es position of power it is a pub
lie calamity. "As a roaring lion
and raging bear, 50 is a wicked
ruler over the poor people, " s. # =
Some who would be lavish in their
upbraiding of social outcast are
singularly mute before sin while it
is still shrined in wealth, luxury
and power. John Baptist was not
of that order. No sta
ton in life is so lofty as to lift its
occupant above the reach of the
pains and penalties of sin. They
can pass even palace doors and fall
with their full weight upon king 5
heart. 1t is a fearful
thing to deliberately cherish hat
red and revenge in the heart. It
is the seed of murder, aud is sure
to bear its crimson fruit. y
For his oath's sake. A poor wom-
an of my city said to me last win
ter that there came a day when
they had not a scrap to put OH the
table. She put her shawl on and
went down to the corner saloon,
and stated the fact to the saloon
keeper, reminding him, in addi-
ton, that her husband had spent
a good deal of money at his bar.
He protested to be sorry for her,
but said he had promised not to
aid anybody, and therefore, could
not help her. Surprising how tena-
clous some men are of their oaths
and promises when it suits their
convenience That proverb h as
no weight with them. a bad
promise is better broken than
kept. 81 This was that
Herod, who in mockery, clothed
Jesus i'll royal robes and sent him
back to Plate. Out of
the corrupt court of Herod Anti
pas, Manahem, his foster brother,
and Chusha, his major-domo, rose
to disclpleship with Jesus. Moth
ing prevented Herod himself from
rising but his love for self and sin.
Whom l beheaded:"
No need of the Baptist now Con-
scious performed the office of ten
thousand accusers. That
the way of the transgressor is hard
never had more apt illustration
than in the case of Herod and Her
odias. The Unfortunately ambiti-
Gus woman induced her husband
to go to Rome, and enter his
claim to the title ofking. But he
lost even what he had, and both
persisted miserablv in exile.

Death OF John the Baptist.

DNohf VI bOtAh tlAC OdPiASAs
Extremes met in the fortress
palace of Herod Antipas on the oc-
casion Of his birthday banquet.
Nararitish abstemiousness kept
vigil in the dungeon. Herodian
wantonness blazed and reeled in
the banquet-chamber. Self-oblivi-
Gus devotion below is matched by
all overweening ambition above.
The forgiving spirit, ready to pray
for dispitful users, is offset by a
vindictive thirst for the blood of
one whose very life is a rebuke to
sinners. On the inky agate of the
Herodian court the character of
John Baptist stood out in high re-
lief, a clear-cut cameo of snowy
luster. If any Herod
ever needed a postgraduate course
in the art ofluxury, this one had
it. He received his finishing
touches during his visit to Rome.
At that capital of debauchery he
contracted the inCestuous and
adulterOus connection which called
forth the Baptist's stern and con F.
slant, 1T is not lawful" *
This banquet seems to have been,
in part at least, a military affair.
Antipas was toasting and feasting
his ChiliarChs. He was putting
them in heart for the war into
which his unnatural crime had
plunged him. Their ivory touches
rested upon tessellated floor of
banquet-hall in the marble palace,
within the impregnable fortress OF
Mach9rus. The tetrarch S courtiers
had brought in haste from every
quarter the daintiest of fish, flesh
and fowl, while wine filled golden
goblets to their brim, and the air
was scented with jet and spray of
perfume. x . Herodias was
in her boudoir. Ambition wa. her
ruling vice. She had discarded
her rightful husband, father of her
beautiful daughter, because, for
sooth, he had no title. She mar
ried one who already sustained the
relation of uncle and brother-in
law to her, and in doing so dis
placed a loyal wife from her hus-
bands side. i Il * AT length,
Herodias had title and numerous
palaces and fawning courtiers, but
she had also a Nemesis, who i'm
perious, 1T is not lawful, " neither
threat nor cajolery nor bride could
silence. Her strait was desperate.
The uncompromising preacher of
righteousness was making progress
with her paramount, If he con-
verified him she would be discard
ed and all lost. She had secured
the Baptist's imprisonment. But
locks and bars seemed no restraint
to his influence, while his dungeon
walls seemed to echo his ut is not
lawful" with ever louder detona-
tons. * = The desperate
and wicked woman baited her hook
with her daughters modesty, and
went angling in the pool of drunken
revelry. When Antipas found
himself caught, he lacked moral
courage to snap the hook. He
feared to vex Herodias and had
superstitious scruples about break
ing his oath. He doubted the eff
feet of his vacillation upon the
Courtiers and chiliarchs whom he
was seeking by this very banquet
to attach more closely to himself.

THE HURRY FOR INCREASED RATES

vi I'M -
When the fire insurance COM
panles concluded to raise their
rates they do it with a unanimity
that makes the public, which have
insurance, practically helpless.
The insurance companies have
about as tight an understanding as
any in the country:
By nearly unanimous vote the
New York Fire Insurance Ex-
change-representing all the COM
panies doing business in New York
decided to raise rates on all
the property in that city. The
increase will amount to Is per
cent. in parts Of that city where
the losses would be greatest: in
case of a big fire, while i'll other
sections the increase will be IS per
cent. Ofcourse, this cannot apply
to existing contracts. This is
really the substantial beginning
of what has been talked of ever
since the San Francisco disaster.
What has been done in New York
is pretty nearly certain to be done
in every other large city of the
country.
What was the hurry? All of
the companies have been hard hit
by the San Francisco losses, but
not one OF them really knows al this
time just what it will have to pay
ultimately. There are questions
involved which are not likely to
be determined for many months
unless by mutual agreement be-
tween the companies and the in
sured. 1t is not reasonable to say
that the whole amount of out
standing insurance at the time of
the fire will have to be paid. 1t
is always the case that losses are
scaled down. They will be in
this Instance as much as any other,
and for peculiar reasons possibly
even more. Until something like
a fair calculation of losses could
be made, therefore, was there any
necessity to hurry the increase of
rates, even should such action be
required later?
1t has been the almost inyariable
experience after a great fire that
the fire insurance business has en-
joyed q boom. Property owners
are made timid by the losses others
have suffered and provide them
selves against loss with greater
care than before. The immediate
increase Of rates will apply so
much of the additional business
growing out of the San Francisco
alarm. That would be one of the
reasons for acting at once. The
insurance people give another,
which is that the raise was neces-
sary to induce the stockholders Of
some of the badly crippled com
panies to make up the impaired
capital. This, like the reduction
in brokers commissions, is more
important to the companies than to
the general public.
The whole point of the increase
is however, that the insurance
companies, some of which have
enriched their stockholders with
large dividends, are going to make
the people reimburse them for the
San Francisco losses as speedily as
possible. And there is no way for
the people to get insurance with
out coming to the new rates.
