INSECT MUSIC.

NM r. GRASSHOPPER is certainly
~ very droll fellow, and did It evei
occur to you that he looks jus
like a little old man?
His eyes are so big and so solemn
and he sits up in such an odd fashion
Just before he gets ready to take one OF
those remarkable leaps of his.
suppose you have heard him play or
his fiddle. too. l say his. because 1t is
only the gentleman ~grasshopper who
makes the music. His mate can only
listen and enjoy II.
This music isn't made with his mouth,
though vol might think so.
He is really a fiddler. and If you have
ever examined him carefully you must
have seen the veins that run through
his wings and wing covers. These
really are the stings of his fiddle, and
the edges of his hind legs are his bows.
When he plays he bends the shank of
one hind leg beneath his thigh, then
draws the leg up and down against his
wings or wing covers.
He uses one leg awhile, then changes
off and plays with the other.
1t Is said that one can get near
enough to a g~rasshopper to see him use
his r idle. and certainly the sight would
be well worth while.
1t is only necessary to provide your
self with a quill and a small file, and
when you hear a grasshopper walk
quietly toward the sound.
In a few econd 1t will probably
stop, but wait until 1t begins once
more. Then try to locate 1t exactly
and step quietly. but quickly, to with
ing Ave or six feet of the fiddler and
drop to your hands and knees. Now
bring out your file and rub the quill
against it. initiating as nearly as you
can the sounds Of the grasshopper.
First have them very soft. separating
them by considerable Intervals; after
ward play louder and more quickly.
Soon the grasshopper will forget his
fears and begin to fiddle so loudly you
can creep still nearer n see all he
does.
A number of people have succeeded
in doing this. and all say the sight re-
paid them for all their trouble.
1t is even easier to see crickets make
their music.
Just place a sod of growing grass In
a cage with several male crickets, and
you can watch the whole performance.
They rub the base of one wing owe
upon the veins running through the
of the wing.
The cicada. often miscalled a locust, |
is a drummer. He has a circular
plate directly behind the base of each
hind leg. and beneath 1t a cavity
which is stretched a partition of
three membranes.
