Life Of a Locust or Cicada,

life riddle until the discovery was
made, in 1S45, that there were two
races, one which had a cycle of l3
years and was native in the southern
part OF the United States, and the
other dwelling in the north which re-
Quires II years for its development
The cicada first makes its appear
ance on this globe as tiny pearly
egg that his mother forced into an
orifice which she dug in a twig high
on tree one fine spring day At
the left In the illustration is
shown the insect while breaking
from It's casing. showing diff
ferent stages of the interesting proc
ess, and at the right full-grown To-
Gust after it has emerged for its brief
existence in the sunlight of earth,
After a few weeks he is hatched out
and in a twinkling he is running about
this way and that on the branch Of
the tree which is nearest to him The
newly-born cicada larvae loses no
time in sightseeing. After rushing
over the bark for a few minutes he
goes to the edge of the branch and,
without hesitation. .hrows himself
into space. 1t is some strange in
stinct which prompts him to take the
change, without the slightest idea of
where he will fall, but he reaches
the earth In safety
His only idea is to hide. Over and
over the ground he runs, and then
finding a little crevic1 he digs down
into the loan, burrows with all his
might and soon at least ~ or Is
inches of earth, and often several
feet. are between him and daylight.
He Is not happy until h. gets away
from all his relatives, for the larvae
of the cicada are not sociable. Each
one like some solitary gnome exists
through II years of subterranean life.
How the cicada knows when he
must rise from his solitude and go
forth with a million of his fellows to
make roundelays is one of the hidden
mysteries of nature. From arying
depths, some through hard, baked
clay. others through stony soil and
many through dark loan. they start
on their upward trend. The front
legs are fitted in this last stage of the
subterranean life with digging tools
in the form of ponderous claws. The
cicada reaches up over his head
tears down the soil, rolls 1t into pei
let's, presses them dom beneath him
and digs for more,
When the right time comes, always
at night, the hosts which for so many
years have kept their haunts below
the sod silently steal forth, like an
army with mufiled feet. They swarm
uD the bark of trees. the very ones on
whose roots they have been feeding
all the years of their underworld life,
rnd slowly, almost awkwardly affx
themselves to twigs and branches.
There in few minutes cicada
strips itself Of its casing. which splits
down the middle of the thorax. Then
the insect is really, truly locust
ready to do as its forhears have done.
and fated to go the same way in the
same space of time. The average
life of the cicada on earth Is six
weeks, and is very small as compared
with his long underworld existence.
