A little anarchist weekly, Der freie

The States Attorney saw this article
and supposed that it was by some liv-

The city Of BOnn has begun TO pre-
pare a measure for the town council
authorizing the erection Of a crema-
tory. Many other towns have taken
the first step toward reaching a uecl-
sion in the matter.
In some of these probably no ere
matory can be erected owing to lack
of sufficient support in the city coun-
ellis. The clerical party was able to
ingraft in the bill in the Diet an
amendment requiring that a decision
to erect a crematOry must be carried

For years the newspapers have been
filled with complaints of the growing
practice of brlbing the subordinate

Evolution of
 I7-Year Locust Entomologist Tells of Changes After it Comes From the
 Ground

Albany, May 31.-State Entomolo- gist Felt, announces that the 17-year locust has appeared in the vicinity of Albany as we'll as Poughkeepsie and Annandale. It is probable, he says, that the forerunners of this large brood, are now coming up here and there throughout the upper part of the Hudson valley.
 The present is an excellent oppor- tunity," says MT. Felt, for witness ing the wonderful transformation ac- companied by striking educational changes from the grubline, under ground worker. to the perfect insect. with its contrasting colors Of red ana black.
 "The pupae may be expected to ap- pear above ground with the setting of the sun, and continue to merge in large numbers till about pm. They climb up the trunks of trees and the stems of bushes, establish themselves, and in about an hour the skin splits down the middle and the cicada be- gins to appear, the head and the thoraX being thrust out of the shell, followed by the appendages, and later the withdrawal of the abdomen.
 The cicaGa is at first mostly creamy " hite, with the exception of the red dish eyes and the black patches on the prothorax The limp wings gra dually expand, and the veins slow ly change from a creamy white to a deep red. This remarkable trans formation may occupy twenty min- utes to an hour, or more.
