runs an old rhyme, written by
bachelor, no doubt. But after all
the seventeen years put in in grow
ing up the cicada has a remarkably
short existence. The cicada goes
about getting nourishment from the
sap of trees in the same old way as
he did when he was a pupa but he
lives only two or three weeks. All
the entomologists wanted it distinct
ly understood that the harm done
by the cicada is small. The most
harm is done to the young shoots of
trees, which the female pierces to
lay her eggs. But the English spar
rows gobble up most of the cicadas
before they can do any great dam
age.
Say a good word for the cicada,"
was their farewell. "He is no re-
lation to the grasshopper that eats
up farmers crops out West nor is he
the same as the black eyed locust
that we have here most of the time"

laid hatched out into a larva and
the larva went tumbling out of the
tree and dug into the ground. For
great number OF years the larva
lived at the bottom of that tree
trunk and although it's life was not
what one would call fascinating it
kept on living by sucking nourish-
ment out of the roots of the tree un-
til one day it woke up and 10 it was
pupa.
Now the pupa, that is simply an
immature cicada, which is a straw
colored insect with red eyes and the
usual collection of wobbly antennae,
kept on growing up and getting
nourishment in the same manner.
The specimen they had at that meet
ing was a pupa which was found
two weeks ago by Harry Barber, a
member of the society, in a green
house that was put up about seven
teen years ago.
Some time next month these pu-
pae all around the suburbs will eX-
perience a funny feeling in the mid
die of their backs, will start off to
walk around a bit and when they
look back they will find that they
have left most of them behind
them.
This is the cicada, this red eyed
red winged insect that has come
through the split in the middle oi
its own back, and this is what the

MAY REDUCE WOOLEN STOCK
Directors Have Voted for De.
crease of One. Third.

The directors OF the American Noolen
Company have voted TO reduce the common
stock from s3o,0co.0p0. the approximate
amount now outstanding. to $1,000. 900. ac-
cording TO dispatches from Boston received
in Wall Street yesterday. A special meet
ing Of the stockholders to approve the ac-
0on OF the directors has been called for
April g. IN Jersey City.
This proposed decrease Of 10000 shares
of the outstanding common stock of the
company. II is explained. will be brought
about without disturbing the present hold
ers OF the issue, owing TO the fact that the
corporation itself has during the last few
months acquired by purchase 95,0ll shares
OF the common stock. which. with 1889
shares Of common stock which have never
been issued, make up the total amount of
10000 shares which II Is proposed 10 re-
tire. The source from which the company
obtained the 5000 and odd shares OF stock
has not been divulged. but It is understood
that the price paid was slightly more than
$50 a share, involving between 81, 700 900 and
100000.
1t Is believed that tho reduction Of the
outstanding common stock to $4,000 900 will
result in the common stocks being placed
on dividend paying basis. and for this
reason the common stock holders are ex-
pected 10 vote In favor OF the plan. The
initial dividend is expected to be at tho
rate of per cent a year.
The report that large block Of common
stock WAS TO be retired and that that issue
would probably be placed on a dividend
basis caused an advance OF nearly points
closed at the latter figure. net gain OF
~ points for the day.
