their stridulent music, greeted the
colonists in New England in 1884.
They were the first cicadas Of the
species that white men had ever
encountered, and they awakened
much interest and some supersti-
ton, on account Of the "W"
mark on the wings, which nys-
tics still interpret as the initial
of the god of war.
The division of these insects in
the United States into some
thirty different swarms, or
broods, each appearing in a par
ticular year and confined to a
relatively narrow range, or local
ity. is one of the most peculiar
facts about them. Although the
periodical appearances Of each of
the sWarms are separated by
thirteen or seventeen years, yet
they are so distributed that some

One very curious thing in the

the Frenchman, M. Louis Fari-

ago that the human hand could

Maluquer believes that radia-

penetrate opaque objects and
make impressions on the optic

Santacara is said to be the dis

 Latter Half Of Week

NEW YORK, Sept. s.-The market on the New York curb exchange dur ing the past week was irregular, heaviness prevailing in the first few days as a result of the Japanese dis aster. but strength developed in the industrial issues, many of these stocks at the end of the week show ing substantial gains. Glen Alden was one of the strong features, nov Ing Up points, Gillette Safety Ra- zor, which was in demand on a large scale, rose over points. Chicago Nipple was in steady demand and made fractional gain. Many indus trials appeared in the trading that had been neglected for some time, among them being Hudson and Man haitian preferred and Ford Motor of Canada. Armour preferred was a strong feature late in the week.
 Standard Oil shares showed strength in the early part of the week but were in supply in the past few days. Indiana shares moved up IFS, to 5312 followed by a reaction of about 1 point. A feature in the independent group was a reaction in Marland of Mexico which dropped d from A to 2lA.
 Mining stocks were in increased demand and many of these issues made moderate gains on fairly large trading. Part of these movements was due to arrangements for in creased development work, especial ly in the gold and copper groups.

Sheetings. print cloths. combed yarn cloths, yards and heavy cottons are rising steadily on sales. Bleached cottons are up A cent a yard. Denims have been priced at 23 cents for 2.20s for October -Novem- Der delivery, although the trade had been looking for a lower figure. Ginghams and percales are still quiet and new prices have not been an- nounced on spring ginghams. Some inquiry was received for goods for export but the principal foreign bus mess has been in narrow prints and coarse colored cottons. Converters are selling more khakis. lining fab rics and other staples. Jobbers are still buying moderately although they are more active than they were last month. The manufacturing trades are buying more liberally than for four months past. More business IS being placed on fancy fabrics for spring. Bag manufacturers were large operators this week. Mills have been slow to sell late delivery con- tracts because of the cotton uncer- tainty and the close profit margins obtaining but they have sold freely for September and October. Curtaii ment of production in the mills is lessening. Prices current in primary markets are as follows:
 Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64s, 7% cents; 64x60s, 7h cents, 3S15 inch. c4x64s 10 cents; brown sheetings, southern standards, 15la cents; de- nims, 23 cents; tickings. 25 cents; prints, 9A cents; staple ginghams, 19 cents, nominal; dress ginghams, 21 F cents and 24 cents, nominal.

Steel Industry Sees Large Sales To Japan

NEW YORK, Sept 8.-The disaster in Japan with a vast destruction of property which will have to be re- placed has infused a new factor into the steel situation. Already inquir- les have been received from that country for structural material in- cluding sheet steel for temporary and fire-proof construction and large sales are anticipated. General de- mand has also shown signs of broad ening, thus promoting a steady un- dertone which has held about steady but with demand of rather spo- radio chacaster, consisting largely of moderate sized lots.
 Copper was firmed and no sellers were reported below 13%c, while some producers held for 13%c It was said most of the South African copper refined here was sold 10 bet ter advantage in Europe than 1t could be in this country. The mar ket has also ben influenced by the strength of other metals and pros- poets of large requirements for re- construction work in Japan.
 Lead held firm with operators the chief buyers and more interest shown by battery, cable and paint makers. Stocks, while ample, were firmly held. Tin also continued firm on heavy speculative purchases due to strong statistical position and prospective large demands from con sumers.
 Zinz reflected a more active for eign demand, especially from Japan for galvanized shets.
 Anthony was quiet but steady. with less offering from China.
