the grasshoppers, crickets and their
allies. In these instances the analogy
OF the drum must be discarded for
that Of the fiddle. Let US take first
the grasshoppers. Everyone has lis
tened to their chirping. and perhaps
some fnquiring spirits have observed
that the sound Is always accompanied
by kind Of swaying of the insects

hind legs. But the full inwardness OF
the matter can only be appreciated by
the aid Of the microscope. On a Ger
tain ridge on the inner side OF the
grasshopper's hind feMur-the thigh
of the great leaping leg-there is row
Of extremely modified hairs. This
ridge represents the bow of the sound
producing apparatus. By the move
ment Of the leg 1t is rubbed to and
fro against a prominent nervure or
vein" Of the closed fore-wing; and
this fiddling process gives rise to the
grasshopper's wellknown Song"
"strIdulation."
Naturalists call the method "stridu-
lation." In the case OF the cricEets It
is managed in q different way. viz. by
rubbing one wing over the other.
Each fore-wing Of the male is fur
nished with a vein which is mfnutely
ridged or filelike on its under side:
and this bow plays upon q vein on
the upper surface of the wing beneath

speak. In practice. however. it is
found that the right wing Is generally,
though not always, uppermost. The
reverse is true Of the long-horn. tree
frequenting grasshoppers. Their soil
tary filelike bow Is found on the
underside of the left fore-wing, which
is always uppermost. In these in
sects-and in the crickets to lesser
extent-the overlapping fore-wfngs
form kind Of resounding chamber
which intensifies the volume of each

READING NOTICES
GETTING OLD

1t seems but yesterday that |
Was full of pep and was young and spry.
I worked all day and danced all night.
And l got up feeling out of sight.
But now, if stay out once a week,
My head feels dull and my joints all squeak
I've not changed much in myform or face
But can't bat round with the old tim'
grace.
The solemn truth is impressed on me,
I'm not as young as | used to be.
My hair is thinner by far on top,
And how young buster calls me "pop."
And another sign is on hand. Gee whiz,
A little touch of the rheumatic.
Now any old color of tie will do;
I'm wearing chest protector, too.
I've lost all love of the rowdy-dow,
I'm playing cribbage and checkers now.
The women's fashions are naught to me,
I'm not as young as l used to be.

We all love peace and want peace, but

some knowledge of the duties of soldier

those duties in the face Of an enemy.

THE BILLION LOAN

A RE we neutral nation if we allow
II our capital to go out from us for
the express purpose of making it
easier for one side or the other to carry on
the war?
Germany has sorely tried the patience
of our people and for this she has been
called to account and now seems willing to
heed our warnings. Let us deal with her
with firm hand and permit her no fur
ther acts such as she has been guilty of in
the past But as long as we maintain an
attitude of neutrality let us not be guilty
of permitting any Shylock methods to be
used, not even by our capitalsts-power-
full though they may be.
1t appears to us that if this loan is made
it will mean complications with European
powers that may entail serious consequen-
ces.-Gunnar Bjornson.

DAD AND THE CURFEW

N ULUTH'S new curfew ordinance takes
Dad in and makes him responsible
for allowing the children to remain
out after the family dog has been bedded
down and put to rest for the night. Looks
good, that. Dad is the cause of the ring
ing of the curfew in the first place. Tower
curfew would never be rung but for him.
He is leaving his duties of family cares to
the police. He is Sinking. Why should
the chief chase Mary home from the depot
platform at midnight? The unloading of
family matter on the police force is why
the curfew rings tonight. Dad should put
this in his meer-schaum and cogitate over
it. A curfew in any town is sworn state
ment that some parent is neglectful of his
or her duties. 1t is sign that Dad should
be warned into clear himself Tower

SAVE THE PRAIRIE CHICKENS

- ROM the chicken hunters in the stub
r BILE plants are coming that their fa-
! vorite game is scarcer than ever
Many regions where the pinnated grouse
were once plentiful are now almost with
out them Observant hunters note with
alarm that most of the birds they shoot
are old ones, and that there is a great
scarcity of young prairie chickens.
This is, indeed, a significant symptom,
for it means that the species is not repro
ducing itself, and that unless something
drastic is done it will in many localities be-
come extinct, as it has already become ex-
tinct in other localities that were once fa-
vorite chicken hunting grounds.
Much as the chicken hunters would re-
gret the shutting Of Of their favorite sport
in the fall, it is more and more plain that
a closed season on pinnated grouse to run
for term of years must be declared i'm
mediately. This was DR.. William T. Hor-
naday's earnest advce, when he was here
recently, and though there were murmurs
of dissent from some of the sportsmen this
years shooting is making many converts.
The serious aspect of the situation is
that, once the pinnated grouse is gone, it
is gone for good No way has yet been
discovered to breed the bird in captivity
in sufficient numbers to restock a depleted
country And once the numbers OF the
species diminish to a certain point, their
natural enemies are likely to be equal to
the job of wiping them out completely,
even if the man with the gun is debarred
by law.
In these circumstances, no time is to be
lost. The next Legislature ought to de-
clare close season of at least five years,
and preferably of ten. The prairie chick
en- is too valuable feature of Minnesota
wild life to be abandoned to the fate which

cies that have fallen victim to the shot

A GIRL HERO

"HE female sex, we know, is the weak
er sex" In the face of peril it shrieks
= and explodes into Mysteries. A tiny
mouse sends it in panic to the top of the
piano. When danger betides it collapses
in graceful heap on the shoulder OF the
nearest man.
Despite the equally we'll known fact that
this weaker sex" stands pain and disas-
ter better than the average man, this view
is widely held.
Monday Ether Kuspelser, girl of
twelve, happened to be walking along a
railroad track near Chicago when she saw
two sputtering fuses, attached to two
sticks of dynamite, between the rails over
which passenger train was about to fly
past.
Esther didn't faint. Perhaps she wasn't
old enough. Perhaps there was no manly
shoulder to faint against At any rate she
didn't do any of the silly things a fool
superstition indicates that she would have
DONE
On the contrary, she coolly picked up
those two sticks of dynamite by their
burning fuses, carried them-at the risk
of her life, of course-to the wayside and
there calmly put out the fuses.
Then she told the authorities what she
had discovered, and gave an intelligent de-
scription of three youths she had seen
running from the spot just before she
found the dynamite.
But of course when Esther gets to be
twenty-One she will be too weak and ire
