QUEER Chinese BUG.
Tenodera Sinensis Has appeared
in This Country.

lnsectsI

Philadelphia, Pa.-The Tenodera
Sinensis or Chinese Mantis is in our
midst nowadays and the insect ex-
perts at the Academy of Natural SCI
ences on Logan Square nave Deen
kept busy recently answering ques-
lions as TO what the queer-look1ng IN

Philadelphia is about the only
American city that is the home OF
the Chinese Mantis. About 10 years
ago number of the insects were
brought to this city from China on
some plants that had been imported
by the NIeehan Nurseries, In German
town. Gradually the mantis spread
through Germantown, and are now
rather abundant north of Market
street. That they will in time spread
throughout the city and suburbs. and.
perhaps. in time throughout the coun-
try. seems probable.
The mantis. according to DR.. Henry
Skinner, of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, has no sting. but has rath-
er large mouth and will bite If an
noyed. Several weeks ago woman
living in Germantown became terrified
when one of the insects flew against
her arm. She declared that the bug
stung her and that her arm was bad
ly swollen for several days.
Not day has passed that several
persons with the insects in bottles
have not come to the Academy to
have their pets examined The man
It's lives on smaller insects. such as
flies, mosquitoes and gnats. Accord

valuable The eggs of the mantis are
laid in autumn and hatch in spring.
About the last of August the mantis
becomes full grown and lives until

Favorite Dishes.

A woman who enjoys having
friends to lunch or dinner has the
happy faculty of hitting on just the
things her guests enjoy eating For
some years she has made it a point
to 1ot down the favorite dishes of this
friend or that in tiny note book in
her desk When her cousin Molly is
coming TO lunch she looks up her
name, and there finds recorded that
the aforesaid Molly is particularly
fond of custard desserts of any kind:
clam is her favorite soup. and in
meats she dotes on anything cooked
en- casserole. With these hints
spread before her the matter of plan
ming a meal is considerably simpli-
fed
Another friend has often said she
never tastes such pies as are serve@
by her hostess; another likes tomatoes
in any form. and still another prefers
fish to meat
The guests little know that they
themselves have at some time given
the hint as to their likings

are very peculiar in appearance and
are sometimes called Praying Mantis.

The name Praying Mantis comes from
the fact that the insects hold their two

rapidly back and forth. The most
peculiar parts OF the bug are its eyes
and long neck. The eyes are like

VICTORY TOO MUCH
 FOR THIS lNsURRECTO
PaWnS His Steed for S8 and Becomes PriSoner-IS
 Finally Released

Albert Nunez, the Mexican insur- recto who was held at Douglas on th.. charge of struggling. was re- leased when his hearing was held al Douglas yestefday before United States Commissioner Albert NJ. Sames. Deputy Sheriff Will. White. who serred the federal warrant against Eunez, attended the hearing.
 The nearing developed the fact that the party of rebels Of whom Nu- neg was one had been given per mission to cross the border, but with the intention that they should return with their mounts. Nunez became intoxicated while on the American side of the line and pawned his war horse for eight paltry dollars, which resulted in his arrest by Deputy Sheriff Will White.
 Explaining his come-down from a war hero to a federal prisoner, Nu- neg said that he was celebrating the rebel victory at Agua Prieta, and then he pawned his steed while in an inebriated condition. He was re- leased.
