LOCUSTS ARE DUE
Not the 17-Year Variety. However, AS
They Are Not Due Until
1919.

The great brood of the 17-year To-
Gusts will not be here this year., but a
species Of locusts Identical Herewith
will probably be here in small num-
bers about the first of next month. Dr.
Philip r. Euhler, provost of the Pea
body Institute, when asked abort the
|17-year locusts yesterday afternoon
said:
There are certain insects which
appear every year and people call
them 17-year locusts. The correct
name for the 17-year locusts is eicada.
They have been known by this name
since the discovery of America They
have a w on their wings, caused by
two veins, which are dark brown
and very conspicuous because of the
clear color of the wings"
In his collection DR.. Euhler has TO-
600 specimens. "They appear in sep
arate years in different parts of the
country continued DR.. Euhler. The
last time the 17-year Iocusts were here
was in 1902. They are therefore not
due again until 1919.
Seventeen-year Locusts.
"The Maryland broods of 17-year To-
Gusts extend from Maryland in n di.
rection to Wisconsin and in another
TO Maine. None of the insects have
ever been found in Delaware. ! was
in Delaware in 1902 and made an ex-
haustive inquiry and search for them
and found they had never been heard
of or seen there. The 17-year iocusts
are oval in shape and black in color,
with red eyes and blunt heads. The
wings extend beyond the body ard are
conspicuous because of their size. The
red veins contrast strongly with the
glossy surface of the wings. These
wings are transparent and the w
mark is near the end. There is nc
/ other mark. The p some people speak
of is purely imaginary.
Each year the locusts appear in
some part of the country and usually
cause damage in both forest and fruit
trees by pricking them with their egg
layer. The leaves and twigs of the
tree are killed, but the tree itself is
not further injured"

Mistaken Modesty.

The lesson and significance of an
experience incorporated by Mr.. Maui
rice Barring in his book, Russian Es-
a y and Stories" are undoubtedly the
mistake of undertaking ones wares.
One is likely to be taken at ones
word. Once when Mr.. Barring was
competing in a civil service examina-
ton and appeared as a candidate in
the German viva VOC the German ex
aminer asked him If he could speak
German.
"Yes, a little" he answered modest
ly.
"Oh," said the examiner, 81 will
then wish you good morning. | will
no doubt have the pleasure of seeing
you again the next time there is an
examination"
The next time there was an exami-
nation Mr.. Barring presented himself
again. The German examiner, who
happened to be a different man, asked
Mr.. Barring If he could speak German.
He replied:
eyes, / speak 1t as well as Bismarck
spoke 1t, and my written style COM
bines the solidity of Lessingss the
limpidity OF Goethe's and the llghtness
of touch of Heine's, as you have no
doubt observed from my written pa
pers."
ssThen / need not trouble you any
further" said the examiner.
That time Mr.. Barring got full marks.

Vice President Hoffman said the sta

called out probably on Tuesday.
Fearing a repetition Of rlotous dem
onstrations that have marked "a strike

the present time, the police sent big
details of reserves to all points where
trouble was most to be expected and
in other ways took drastic precautions
to prevent incipient riots.
Under this heavy protection the
United States and the American sex'
press companies, which are affected
by the strike, were able ito conduct
their business on a small scale, al
though they found it totally out Of
their power to deliver the vast amount
of express matter that is now pilins
up rapidly.
Virtually the entire police force o
the city was held at the various sta
