It has been likened to the mournful whistling of a train passing through short tunnel, to the rushing of a strong wind through trees of dense foliage, to the noise made by swarm of bees passing near at hand, to the vibration of telegraph wires in a strong breezs. MT. Cicada is so en- tranced with itself that he forgets to eat-at least very few entomolo- gists ever caught him slipping around the corner for a drink or a sandwich; 1; so it has been decided that he is so peculiarly constructed as not to re- quire food during his short and noisy married life.
 Two week after mating there's a family-whereupon MT. Cicada drops dead-at the size of it, we suppose. Mrs. Cicada is no clinging widow, however; she pitches right in to find homes for all those 400 to 600 eggs that constitute the family. Any old or rather, young twig will do, ex- cept those sticy sap Mrs. Cicada con- siders very unsanitary. If she dis covers her neighborhood to be plant nursery or young orchard of apple, peach or pear trees, she breathes the bugs doology and goes right to dig ging and cutting little trenches in the succulent twigs into which to lay her eggs.
 Oh, yes, the orchard owner says dreadful things to her and bellows to Uncle Sam to come and chase her out, but Mrs. Cicada does not let any little disturbance like that bother her. It is her duty to find home for each one of those little eggs, and she is going to do the best she knows how by them, though every fruit tree in the U. s. goes to pieces for it.
 She wraps her long legs around a twig, lifts her body up on end bit, then runs out a combination egg-lay- CT and double saw from her abdomi- nal shell, sets it at an angle saving. At the same time, she slides her eggs down little groves in this saving in strument to drop into the two paral- Tel wedges that the double saw at- tachment is preparing for them.
 Each wedge is about one-twelfthS of an inch deep, and long enough to hold from ten to twenty eggs. When the proper number or eggs have been carefully placed and covered with the little wood flores loosened by the saws, Mother Cicada moves forward a step ore two, rests moment, and then begins saving again on a new pair of wedge shelters for her proge- ny. When she has housed the whole outfit, she is too tired ohang around to see which side of the family the

nearest high thing-weed bush, tree, stump or fence pole-that promises a good look around. With 10000 of them all scrambling head over heels for one little peach tree-there's an entomologist says he counted that many one-you may see what mer- ry mess they will make of it. They are amiable bugs, however, and no blows will be struck. Apparently, through lack of expiration, they know neither anger nor fear.
 It will take several days for all the myriads of cicadas to bore their way to the surface, crawl up their chosen trees, and get settled firmly on leaf or twig. As soon as one of them finds himself a good stopping place, he will proceed within an hour to discard his old clothes-which are call ed the ~pupa-for a brand new dress suit. He does this by splitting his old wingless underground shell right down the back. Out of that rip he emerges first in creamy white, with reddish eyes, nifty dash of black here and there and fetching touch of orange at the wings. Unusually takes him about twenty minutes by Uncle Sam's watch to make this change, and until daylight to get back his glossy dark color, but when he is all fixed, he makes a rather good-looking bug, as bugs go.
 Then-"Ah whatanight, whata. moon!" he says, and the twig to which he clings with dozens of other white frocked cicadas, both ladies and gen. tlemen, quivers and bends with their buggy ecstacy, like bQugh of apple blossoms in the wind. It will take MT. Cicada about week to find his lady-not that they are so scarce, but it takes quite a little while to look them over and another little while to sing the chosen one into a matrimonial mind.
 His mating song is uncanny music. It does not come from his throat, but from two tiny inflated drum mem branes, situated at either side of the abdomen and made to snap in and out by the rapid action of powerful muscles attached to them. The sound is diversified and intensified by won- derfully constructed sounding boards and sound chambers about the drums.
 "Tsh-e-e-E-E-E-e-ou-" sigs Mir. Cicada-a continuous, pro- longed, wild effort, the middle note deafenilrgly shrill, loud, and piercing to the ear, and the final note dying away in melancholy cadence. When Woodlandful of eager males thus greet their lsdy-loves in unison, the chorus is weird in the extreme.

WHY DOCTORS
 PRESCRIBE THE
 NEW CAL0MEL
Medicinal Virtues Retained and Im- proved-Unpleasan and Salivat- ing Qualities RemOved-New
 Variety Called "CalOtabs."

Of all the medicines in the world, doctors prescribe calomel most often and depend upon it most uni versally. There must be a good and sufficient reason-what is it?
 If you will study the doctors books you will find that the medical authori- ties prescribe calomel for almost ev- cry disease. The reason is that calo- mel is the greatest and only thorough system purifier. It makes the liver active, drives out the pois0ns from the stomach, bowels and kidneys and thereby purifies the blood. Calomel puts the entire system in the most favorable condition for Nature to ex- ercise her recuperative power. That is why he prescribes calomel so often.
 The new kind of calomel, called "Calotabs," is refined and purified from all of the nauseating and dan gerous qualities of the old style calo- mel and is rapidly taking it's place, for it is more effective than the old style calomel as a liver cleaner and system purifier. One Calotab at bed time, with swallow of water--that's all. No salts, no nausea, nor the slightest unpleasantness. Next morn- ing you awake feeling fine-with a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please. No restrictions of habit or diet.
 Calotabs are sold only in original, sealed packages, price thirtyfive cents. Recommended and guaranteed by druggists everywhere. Your money back if you are not delighted.

VIRGINIA CITY MINERS UNION
HAS VOTED TO STRIKE

The Virginia City Miners Union has
voted to strike for a higher wage as
the high cost of living has reached
such a point that the miners found
they could not live upon the wage be-
ing paid. The matter was submitted
to the miners of the district and the
vote was overwhelmingly in favor of
the strike. The mine operators say
that they cannot pay the wage asked
so 1t would seem as If the old Com
stock was to be locked up high and
dry. and the men who have toiled In
that section since boyhood days will
have seek another field.
With strike on in Tonopah and
another in progress in Ely, 1t seems
as If the miners were mp against il
good and hard in securing jobs.
Virginia City Miners Union has been
one of the most conservative labor or
ganizations of the West and when
disorder seemed to be the rule In
other sections this union went calmly
along about its business and a conse-
auence labor troubles were few and
far between upon the Comstock. Lei
us hope that the trouble will soon be
adjusted and the old pioneer city will
not be wiped off the map.
The San Francisco Stock Board has
closed its doors until the strike stu
alton has been adjusted in Nevada
Maybe If the stock board had closed
years ago there would be far less cause
for strike now.
