Washington.-Have you an ideal in
the absolute in hopelessness?
Well, let it be said that the house in
which you live is comparatively new
built within the last II years. The
ground on which it stands vas orig
inally woodland. In the summer of
1902 all the trees whereabouts were full
of 17-year locusts. Eggs were depos-
tied in the branches, the larvae came
out, dropped lightly to the ground, and
dug in. The long period of subter-
ranean existence is almost ended. In
May the insects will start toward the
light and air-and will come in con-
tact with the concrete floor of your
cellar! There may be another situa-
ton as hopeless, but certainly none
more so.
That clearing up of woodland for
the building of houses and for cultiva-
ton is the principal agency that is max
ing the 17-year locust, whose real
name is the periodical cicada, van
ishing species. DR.. Gideon B. Smith,
one of the earlier scientific observers,
allowed rather a melancholy note to
creep into his invaluable manuscript
when he wrote that future generations,
if they read his writings at all, would
shake their heads and think Of him as
a romanccr.
Being Slowly Exterminated.
In the same note, also, G. L. Mariatt,
one of the latest systematic observ-
ers, writes in his bulletin, ITO the
lover of nature there is something re-
grettable in this slow determination of
an insect which presents, as does the
periodical cicada, so much that is in
teresting and anomalous"
Thus, the present-day experts of the
United States department of agricul-
ture agree with the early observer that
the time viii come when there will be
no periodical cicadas left.
y That time, however, is long way
off. There will be multiplied millions
of them this year and in other years
to come. For many persons the cicada
will be as new sight as it was to the
first observers when they came from
Europe to the American forests. Mod
ern writing on the subject is done. of
course, in the light of all the observa-
tions that have been made through
more than 200 years. They lack the
freshness of the writings of men who
saw the cicada before literature of
the insect had been built up. Those
early writings, therefore, possess an
unusual interest.

lived at Cambridge, Mass, wrote New

I rested in my berth for long time,
staring blankly up at the dark deck
above, unable to sleep, and endeavor-
ing to figure out the true meaning Of
all these occurrences. I felt that 7
could understand the interest exhib-
tied by Dorothy Fairfax, and, greatly
as I already admired her, was not
egotist enough to even imagine that
her effort to serve me had basis in any
personal attraction. But what about
Lieutenant Sanchez? Why was this
unknown Spaniard already so openly
my enemy? Could it be because of
Dorothy Fairfax? felt finally that !
had the clue-jealousy. the mad, I'M
reasoning jealousy of his race.
I had no false conception as to this;
no vagrant thought that her interest
in me was any more than a passing
fancy, born of sympathy and a de.
sire to aid. Nevertheless, as she had
thus already served me, now owed
her service in return, and here was the
first call. If conditions made it pos.
sible it was my plain duty to place
myself between these two.
