until the wood became dry and brittle
before separating entirely from the
tree. In addition to the loss Of the
crop for the season. about a seasons
wood growth was destroyed. leaving
little or no chance for the formation
of fruit buds for the following year.
On apple and other fruit trees the re-
suits were similar. though apparently
much less serious than with peach
trees
On rapidly growing trees the scars
soon heal, but on trees making
slow growth they do not heal for sew
eral years. Ordinarily. however. there
is little or no permanent injury to the
tree. and soon after the insects disap-
pear the orchardist thinks little about
them. The accounts of serious injury
which one reads In newspapers are
generally based upon the imagination
or upon other causes. and are not the
verdict of men who have given careful
study to the subject.
Some six or seven weeks after the
eggs are laid in the twigs. the young
cicadas hatch from them. drop to the
ground, and work their way into 1t,
going IL to 18 inches beneath the sur
face. Here they live a subterranean
life for II years. where 1t is difficult
to follow their movements and devel-
opment Yet this has been done In
three or four cases by the bureau OF
entomology. and 1t was found that the
larvae molted four times, the fourth
molt usually occurring about the
tenth year. They burrow chiefly with
their forelegs, suck the juices from the
small tree roots from one-eighth TO
three-sixteenths of an inch in dame
ter, and upon such food they subsist
for the full period of II years. when
the pupae crawl out of the ground.
leaving round exit holes about three
eighths OF an inch in diameter.
No parasites were reared from ci-
cada eggs In Connecticut In 1911,
though four species of dipterous two
winged fiies) larvae are known to
feed upon them In the United States.
-Four species of hymenopterous -four
winged flies) insects are known to
PARASITIC the eggs, though only one
of these, Lathromeris cicadae How. is
at all abundant. This has been found
sufficiently abundant in some parts OF
the country to considerably check the
periodical cicada- Several species OF
mites are also known to feed upon ci-
cada eggs.
This insect has predaceous enemies.
one of the most important of which is
the large digger wasp or cicada kill
er, Sphecius speciosus Dru., which
stings the adult cicada and carries it
away to its underground nest to serve
as food for the young wasps. The
sting paralyzes but does not kill the
cicada. and the wasp lays an egg on
the body of the cicada. upon which the
young wasp larva feeds. No doubt pre-
daceous ground beetles devour some
OF the newly hatched young. as well
as the emerging pupae.
1t is probably true that birds de-

Naming Twins.

1t is common practice to bestow on
twins given names that begin with the
same letter and are pronounced much
alike. Our town in the last half century
and more has furnished quite number
of instances of the kind. The latest
case is that of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Themes of North Bridgton, who had a
son and daughter born to them, Deem
her Bird. After due consideration and
careful deliberations, they decided to
name them Albert and Alberta. In
familiar parlance, they will probably be
called, for short, Gal" and Berta. ;"
That village furnishes at least one paral-
lei local time record, to wit, twin daugh-
tiers of the late John Hill, who bear the
names of Ada and Ida. In the latter
instance the initial alliterative feature is
missing, it is true, but as a general
thing the two names have the same first
letter. c. Stickney in the Portland
