Japan's Song Crickets.

From Harpcr's Weekly.
Selling crickets is lucrative business
in Japan, wherethe insects are valued
for their songs and kept In cages like
canary birds. In Tokyo there are two
wholesale merchants who send their
agents into the streets of the large
cities The insects are carried in little
bamboo cages. A good seller clears ap-
proximately from so cents to 81 a day.
An insect valued for its music brings
from to cents. The kusa hibari is the
most valuable of all the songsters, but
the common cricket and the grasshoppers
are considered excellent singers.
The singers are collected from the
fields in September. before laying time.
They are taken from the grass and shut
UP in glass jars. Soon after they are
imprisoned the females lay their eggs
and die almost Immediately afterward.
The jars containing them are kept in a
temperature of so degrees centigrade.
The young come forth in March.
The loss of eggs is about 10 per cent.
The male is the singer: he only is an OBJ
ject of commerce, and from 100 eggs
the cultivator, despite all his care, has
only fifty salable insects. The lot Of the
locust is a martyrdom from birth to
death. The locust Is the toy of the
Japanese child; he is caught on bamboo
twigs rubbed with a gluey substance.
and tormented according to the ignorance
or the cruelty of his keeper. The life of
the singing insect never exceeds a term
of five weeks.

British cabinet ministers are no less
zealously guarded to-day. Scotland Yard
has never been so vigilant in the pro-
lection of public men as 1t has been for
the last year or two, owing to the unrest
in political and international affairs. An
incident at the Hotel Cecil recently,
when Mr.. Lloyd George attended a din

manner and methods of Scotland Yard.
he was accompanied by three men in
evening dress, who quietly slipped into
places near him, and the moment that he
arose after dinner apd after making his
speech, they closed around him as he
walked from the room and through the
passages to the entrance. Quietly, with
out any fuss, other officers from Scot
land Yard-for the three gentlemen in
evening dress were well-known detectives
prevented any one from walking toward
Mr. Lloyd George as he made his way
to his motor car. while outside all traffic
was stopped and the courtyard cleared
until the Chancellor had entered the vehi-
Gle and was being driven away.
In town or country, British statesmen
are always guarded. Even when the
Premier or Mr.. Balfour is having a quiet
game Of golf, it often happens that the
innocent-looking caddy accompanying
them is a detective in disguise. Those
members OF the cabinet who spend the
weekend out of town are always ac-
companied by officers of the political
branch at Scotland Yard, the country
houses at which they stop being guard

day a uniformed officer is stationed out
side their private residences, and each
minister, when in town, is accompanied
by two plainclothes officers wherever he
goes. II he walks from his residence to
