Birth OF the new four-power agree

The provisions of the agreement,
which is in the form OF a ten-year
treaty, are confined to "the region OF
the Pacific ocean," Under them the
four powers are to respect each 9th
ers island possessions and to meet in
consultation if dispute arises or if
the rights of any of the four are
threatened by any other power.
Announcement of the treaty terms
was made at plenary session of the
arms conference by Senator Lodge Of

Matching Brood.
Toward the close of March, or in
the beginning OF April, in the case OF
the wild turkeys, the hens separate
from the others and seek for them
selves nesting places in secluded spots.
The nest consists of few dry leaves
or grasses scratched into depression
by the side of log. Here the eggs
twelve beautiful, oval, speckled treas
ures are laid, and for thirty days and
nights they are sat upon by the hen.
When she leaves them, which she does
a short time each day for food, she al
ways takes the necessary preCautlon
to cover them with leaves as a protec-
ton against cold and intrusion. Moth
ing will tempt her to quit the nest
when the young are about to be hatch
ed. So absorbed does she then become
that she has been known to submit to
capture rather than endanger the lives
of her offspring.
No. human mother manifests deeper
affection for her children than does
this bird of the prairie for hers. She
fondles and dries them after they have
escaped from their shell and tenderly
helps them out of the nest. 1t is now
that her cares may be said to COM
mence. She leads them into pleasant
pastures, teaches them to know good
from bad foods and acquaints them
with all the devices and subterfuges
practised for eluding man and other
enemies. 'fi'

Grass 'Froth" Is Insect
Known as ''Froghopper
Entomologist Discovers Source of
Substance, Known as "Snake Spit"


Substanee. Known as "Snake Spit"
Probably every one who has walked
through meadows in early summer has
noticed masses Of froth on grass stems
and wondered at them. Various fanci-
full names have been given them, such
as Snake spit and frog spit" A few
possibly have examined the "troth"
and found in it4an insect. Few others
than entomologists know just what
species is responsible for it. The COM
mon notion that these insects are
young grasshoppers is incorrect.
Professor Philip Garman, assistant
!entomologist of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural Experiment tation, has made
a study Of this insect and is the first
to discover. and describe the egg stage.
He found that the curious frothy
balls are made by immature sucking
insects OF the family Cercopidae, COM
monty known as "froghoppers." They
are closely allied to leafhoppers, but
their life story has not been told until
now.
The insect is found to do injury to
grass; there is ore brood each year;
the eggs are laid in the summer and
fall in the sheath of grass stems two
or three inches from the ground. The
egg stage lasts from 28l to 233 days
and they hatch late in May.
The spittle glands Of the adults are
indicated by yellow spots on the abdo-
men. By taking in air and expelling
/ it under a sticky substance troth Is
made which soon surrounds the insect.
Moults take place within the froth un-
til the hopper is able to fly. The froth
protects the insect from parasitic enc
mics

There were many who at hrst

began to watch the power and firm

ing to admit that he was a regular
