sEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST DUE
T~hIrteen-Year Brood Expected to APP
pear In Lower Half of the
Mississippi Valley.
(By C. L

Two important broods of the Pc
T1odical cicada-the 13-year n IT
year locust-are due to appeal during
1911 In different parts of the United
States.
One of these, the 17-year-race, ex-
tends from New York southwark into
North Carolina, in general, lying east
of the Allegheny mountains. The 49,
year race covers the lower half of the
Mississippi valley.
Both of these broods have been
very carefully studied in past years
and their distribution has been, in the
main, probably accurately deter
mined. The approaching reappear-
ance, however, of these brOods OF
cicada has led to inquiries, and cir
culars have been issued by the gov
eminent, and also the experiment sta
tions of various states, to meet these
inquiries. n also for the purpose of
securing reports of occurrence to add
to the present knowledge of the dis
tribution of these broods.
The 17-year is one of the best
recorded broods, since it's almost ex-
clusively eastern range brings it into

towns and more populated districts of
the Atlantic coast. IT has been re-
ported in Connecticut regularly every
II years since 1924 and in New Jersey
since ITS, and almost equally long
records of its regular visits in other
states have been made. Its last ap-
pearance was in 1894, although q scat
tering brood appeared in 1910.
According to a circular of warning
issued by the New Jersey experiment
station, these insects will appear dur
ing the last days of May. 1911, and
will continue throughout June; dis
appearing by the end of :.he month.

Shoddy in Much Less Demand

gagged in the manufacture Of wooden
and worsted goods has just been is

Il. Dana Durand.
Although the number Of establish
ments has decreased, denoting a ten
dencv toward concentration, which
has been the rule in the wool manu-
featuring industry since 1870, on the
other hand the amount Of capital re-
ported as invested shows an increase
from $256, 554 900 in 1899 to $415, 465.-
900 in 1909, or 60 per cent. during the
decade. The cost of materials used
increased IS per cent. and the amount
paid in salaries and wages So per
cent. The number Of salaried off,
Gals and clerks increased but At per
cent. and the number Of wage earn
ers only 20 per cent.
The value of products increased
from $685. 45 900 in 1899 to 1885,
900 in 1909, or 76 per cent. The
greater part of this increase took
place during the second half Of the
decade; in fact, the increase of over
500, 900 900 in the five years since
1904 is far greater than hat Of n

Of the industry.

The quantity Of wool consumed, in
condition purchased, increased from
330,179,000 pounds to 474,751.000
pounds, OF A per cent; reckoned on
a secured wool basis, the increase was
so per cent. The quantity of raw cot
ton consumed decreased from 40,245,-
900 pounds to 20,055, 900 pounds, or
so per cent, while the amount Of
cotton yarn purchased increased
from 35,343,O 900 pounds to 80, 169, 900
pounds, or II per cent. The net re
suit is a decided decrease in the
amount Of cotton used as a material
by wool manufacturers.
The figures also show a marked de-
crease in the use of shoddy.
This is explained by the fact that
the manufacture Of worsted fabrics.
into which shoddy does not enter as a
material to any appreciate extent,
has increased enormously, while the
quantity Of wooden fabrics in which
shoddy is utilized was actually less
in 1909 than in 1899.

Can't Have the Old Portsmouth

THE navy department probably will
! be unable to comply with the
wishes of the people OF California who
have asked that the old sailing ship
Portsmouth now at the New York navy
yard. be towed to the Pacific coast to
be preserved there as a naval mu-
scum. The people Of the Pacific coast
are anxious to have the Portsmouth
sent to San Francisco bay because
she was identified with the early his
tory OF California. She sailed into
San Francisco bay and took possession
1n the name of the United States. If
she had not taken this action what is
now California might have become a
part OF The British empire, as two
British cruisers arrived there only a
few hourS after the Portsmouth. The
San Francisco people want to use the
old vessel as an exhibit in connection
with the Coming exposition there.
The navy department, however. has
received a report from a board of sur
vey. which estimated that about $685.
600 would be necessary to fit the old
sailing vessel for the long cruise to the
west coast. In addition the expense Of
such a long trip would be considerable.

packs it along with others and then
carries it to the railroad. It is laid
in April, May or June; you don't get

Economy Board to Save Millions

The heads OF the executive depart
ments have received instructions to
pare travelling expenses wherever pos
sible. This order is applicable to the
war and navy departments, as well as
to all other departments Of govern
ment.
Of course, the largeness of the item
for travelling expenses is due in great
to the laws under which men
in h navy and in the army, either
as officers OF ~privates, receive travel
allowances. The travel expenses of
the department of agriculture and
the department Of the interior are
also necessarily heavy, and the same
is true, though not to so great an ex-
tent, of the post office department.
The injunction that has gone out
simply is that travel pay must not be
authorized except where travel on
government business is absolutely
necessary.
Soon after President Taft entered
the White House, and long before the
present economy and efficiency board
was created, instructions went to
the heads of the executive depart
ments to curtail travelling expenses
wherever possible.
