AUGUST CRICKETs
Natural Thermometers, Whose Vibra-
tions Increase as Temperature Rises

On these midsummer evenings, now
beginning to grow longer, no one with
an ear for rythms can fail to notice the
incessant chorus. or more properly or
chestra, OF those queer, slender green
insects which are called August cricls-
ets." Occasionally one finds it's way in
to a house and his not then sounds mel
ancholy and lonely. not cheerful like
the black cricket whose association Is
with the hearth and is supposed to be-
token good will. says the Boston Herald
The beat of the united voices OF either
notes of the millions of these tiny creat-
ures seems to follow some unseen lead
er's direction. Raraly does one get out
iof time and saw away at cross pur-
poses. To many persons the noise they
make Is decidedly unpleasant. but is
certainly not SO rasping as the quarrel
some contradiction of the katydid. A
few years ago the August crickets were
not to be heard In Maine but now, like
the Gypsy and brown-tailed moths, they
seem to have undertaken to emigrate,
and even in central Maine they may be
found still drumming away. The katy
did is far more limited in the northern
range. You will hear him in the woods
between bingham and Cohasset, but his
impudent attempt to insinuate that
Katy was not SO god as she ought to
be has fortunately not spread into the
suburbs of Boston or beyond.
1t is not generally known that the
August crickets are a natural thermom-
eter. BY carefully counting the number
of vibrations to the minute one can tell
accurately what the temperature is. The
hotter the evening the more rapidly they
play their sharp little instruments and.
as the days shorten and the nights be-
come cooler their waves of sound have
greater distances between them until

"Seat Hog" Had to Paw

Geneva. September 6.-(Special.)-It
doesn't pay to hog an extra seat on a
Swiss passenger train unless one is pre-
pared to pay for it.
Owing to the crowded state OF the
Geneva-Basle express the other day a
tourist had to stand in the corridor, but
subsequently noticed that seat was oc-
cupied by pile of baggage. passen-
ger sitting next to it declared that the
baggage belonged to a traveller who had
gone to the dining car and wished to
retain his seat.
The seat had not been claimed at
Lausanne, and the passenger in question
alighted, taking up the baggage. The
tourist grabbed him and then Informed
the station agent that the baggage be-
longed to a man in the dining car The
passenger then had to confess that the
baggage belonged to him and he had to
pay for two seats.

DISSOLUTION OF THE

CO. ALARMS CAPITAL
Foreign Investors to Investi-
gate Financial Situa-

LEAVES INVESTMENTS
WITHOUT PROTECTION
Recent Decree by Cuban President
Dissolving British American In
stitutiOn Causes Com
mercial Sensation

Havana, September -(Special)-Per-
haps the most widely discussed commercial
sensation in Latin-American for many
years is the recent presidential decree
dissolving the Ports Improvement COM
pany of Cuba, q British-American in
stitution capitalized at $1oo0o,ooo Tt is
not only causing capitalists through
Europe and America to ask, How are
Latin American investments to be pro-
tected?" but causing those in Cuba to
ask, when will 1t end?"
That it has thrown holders of Cuban
stocks and bonds into a panieky state Is
but casually questioned. And other for
eign corporations, involving millions, who
have been established for years, do not
know but their time is coming next, de-
spite administration assurances that they
should entertain no alarm, that all for
eign investments would be protected and
no measures taken to injure any legiti-
mate interests" Already agents of rep
resented capital are in Cuba making per-
sonal investigation of the presidential
decree that destroyed their holdings.
Acting Within Law
ocal believed he was acting within the
pale of law and equity, and none but
political enemies impugn his actions. 1t
is frequently admitted, however, he was
badly advised. Menocal is believed to
be thoroughly honest, Notwithstanding
political opponents have been making
capital of his long connection with the
American sugar trust. Rumors say Gun
supported so far by documentary proof
the trust financed his campaign for the
presidency, because of dislike to Presi-
dent Jose Miguel Gomez.
The history Of the Ports company COM
pares with many other concessions, and
the way undoubtedly made easy by 'see-
ing influential administration officials.
The concession was the most important
granted by the Gomez administration. 1t
provides for the dredging of harbors and
carrying out of other improvements. In
return it was allowed to collect a surtax
on imports. The decree is based upon
the alleged failure of the company to full
fill it's contract and being an illegal or
ganization. The company through emf
nent attorneys claim the charges are un-
justified. That the concession is good
thing in a commercial sense is not de-
MED. Vast profits We're expected, but
the investors were required to wait %
years for the returns 1t Is, therefore,
argued such an investment in order to
attract capital must promise unusual
proof.

need of the improvement it was organ
