Never- | ‘theless. it was decided that they were not likely to become a popuiar dainty. This is unfortu- nate, iuasmuch as unlimited quantities of them can be rewtily gathered when they are in season. It must be understood that no relation exists Detween the cicadas and the SS h the true locusts. The former belong to wholly different family in the kingdom of in- sects. Grasshoppers have long been recog- nized as edible. People in many parts of the world eat them. Jobn the Baptist subsisted on them in the wilderness, with wild honey for a relish. The bug experts at Washington have found that untledged grasshoppers. boiled two hours, with butter, spices and salt added, com- pose ‘a broth that is scarcely distinguishable from beef broth. Fried in their own oil, or roasted, they have an agreeable nutty taste. Ground and compressed they will last fresh in- definitely. Curry of grasshoppers and grasa hopper croquettes have been tried and ap- coved of. Wieeeeh set of comme importance. the Periodical cicaca excites great interest because “it lean anomaly. No other insect bas a larval riod of such duration or even approaching it. is confined wholly to this country, east of the Rocky mountains. Other epecien are found in all parts of the world, the family being a very large oue. They are most numerous in the tropics, where they grow to gigantic size, measuring as much as three inches in length and often brilliantly colored. But all of these foreign kinds are annual, spending caly ene season tn the crawling, wingless stage. It has been dis- covered that the long-term cicadas in the soutbern states appear every thirteen years. In order to find out whether this is purely a matter of climate or a difference of variety several batches of the northern insects have been planted under marked trees in Georgia and Louisiana, while the same bas been done with specimens from the south of New York and Ohio. The entomo- logical sharps are keeping tab on them to see ‘when they will come out. Daring the first six or seven years of {ts life ‘the cicada does not ordinarily burrow deeper in the earth than two feet. [ater on it is sup- posed to gofurther down, and it has been foand at a depth of 20 feet. Toward the endof its term of subterranean existence it makes ite way upward, and in the year when it is to ap- pear it is discovered quite close to the surface, under logs and stones, seemingly awaiting the opportune moment. When that moment ar- rives the creatures swarm out in vast num- bers and seramble over the ground to the near- est trees. If there isan isolated tree a very strange phenomenon is exhibited. All of the insects in its neighborhood, led by ® remark- able instinct. make so mauy bee-lines toward it. Converging to this central point they clamber up the trunk in a steady stream. diverg- ing aguin along the branches. Quce seen the sight is not easily forgotten. HOW THEY BEGIN TO COME OUT. The cicadas begin tocome out at sunset and continue until midnight’ When the insect has attached itself comfortably to a twig or leaf, ite skin begins to split down the middie. It takes from twenty minutes to an hour for the animal Sakiate itself from ite discarded shell. The transformation completed, it appears as a Beautiful crentare with gzesy wings. There are few mere wonderful ¢ighte than that afforded by @ tree aswarm with ‘locuste” undergoing the metamorphosis described. In the moonlight it looks as if covered with ex- ysisite white blossoms in all stages of expan- m. Exceptional" facts in natural history, as the egg-laying of tbat curious duck-billed mammal the ornithobynchis, always provoke skepticism, and facts regarding the cicada’e life have in- Vited unbelief. It certainly does seem amaz- ing that au insec in the bowels of the earth, shoul ascend to the surface of the ground flight, become a denizen of the air. Long be- fore Columbus trod American soil this lowly ereature must have appeared regularly at ite appointed periods. It is powible to go back in ught for centuries in the past to a particn- lar month of a given year during which the woods resounded with its shrilling sens just as they do this summer. One can say with abso- lute certainty that brood XIV will appear on Long Island in the year 2093. unless it should be previously wiped out by the advance of civ- ilization through the operation of causes to be Presently mentioned. Sometimes the cicadas swarm on a tree in such numbers as actually to weigh down and break off branches.

During their long period of subter- tanean confinement they grow slowly. but un- | dergo no other change, save for the more com- plete development of four scale-like promi- nences on the back, which contain the future wings. These cicadgs do some small damage to fruit trees by cutting the twigs to make nests, but that is all the harm they are guilty of. Civilization is rapidly reducing the numbers of the cicadas. Que of the catres at work is the clearing of land. Domestic fowls destroy them in great numbers. Many that bury them- selves as inrvee in green fields find themselves shut down beneath asphalt and macadamized wements when they are ready to come up. jut their worst foe in the English sparrow, which first beeame acquainted with them in 1885. It found them so palatable that it dropped everything elxe and fed on them ex- clusively. It killed so many that the ground over large areas was fairly strewn with their wings. The brood of 1885 was one of the greatest ever known. Most _pe2ple in the east north of Mason and Dixon's line who are now adults remember it. But the destzuction which it encountered was so tremendous that it is likely to be represented by comparatively dividuals when it appears again in 1902. leaving the ground the insects are at- tacked by many reptiles and mammals, as well as by birds and cannibal insects. When they have attained the winged state birds pursue them and devour them voraciously. It has al- ready been observed that the numbers of suc- cessive broods are diminishing. FEAR O¥ ITS STING. During the memorable season of 1885 there was widespread fear of the cicada on account of its supposed sting. People denied them- selves blackberries. raspberries and other fruits because they were afraid of being poisoned by the eggs. Others believed that the insect poi- soned water. Entomologists have devoted much attention to investigating this question, and several theories have beeu offered in ex: planation of the many seemingly well-authenti- eated instances of “locust bite.” A very large digger wasp supplies its neat with cicadas, which serve as food for its young. It has been suggested that she might occasionally, while carrying «cicada, alight on a human ‘being. and, on being brushed off, she might fly aw after stinging the offender. leaving the cicada behind to be held accountable for the mischief. However, investigation proves that the cicada is able to inflict a bite with its jaws, and possi- bly it does so sometimes, | ~~ — {yi ’ VA\y THE HONGS Sen THe CICADA One point for which the cicada is remark- able is ite cry. It isa loud, shrill speech, pro- longed for fifteen or twenty seconds, gradually increasing in force and then decreasing. Only the male mukes this noise; the female is dumb. An ancient Greek poet, recognjzing this fact in natural history, has sung: “Envy the cicadas their peaceful lives, Who have the bapriness of voiceless wives.” The male has at the base of its abdomen two pieces of thin membrane, each of them free at oneedge. By their rapid vibration the sound is produced. It isa love note. The attentive observer may watch the new-fledged cicada as he sits on a twig and utters an amorous sere- nade. Presently the female, attracted by the music, comes and perches beside him. ‘The voices of insects afford a most interesting study. Of those which sing the cricket is per- haps the most familiar. It bas little ridges on its wing covers and corresponding ridges on its Lind legs. The hind legs and wing covers move over each other aud make the chirping ucise. The song of the mosquitos made, like that of the bumblebee, by the rapid vibration of her wings. It is only the female that is known to fame. The male hzs no sting and does not come near dwellings, but stays close by the water, the pose of his existence being to perpetuate his objectionable species. He takes no food of any kind during the brief period of his existence in the perfected state: HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC. Everybody is familiar with the music of the katydid. Here again it is the male that has the voice. At the base of ench wing cover is a thin membranous plate. He elevates the wing covers and rubs the two plates together. If you could rub your r blades together You could imitate the operation very nicely. Certain grasshoppers make a sound when ing that is like a watchman’s rattie—clacket! clack, very rapidiy repeated. There are also some’ moths and butterflies which have voices. The “death’e-head” moth makes a noise when frightened that strikingly resembles the ersing of young baby. How it is produced is not known, though volumes have been written on the subject. The “mourning cloak” butterfly — a dark species with a light border on ite wing»—makes acry of alarm by rubbing ite wings together. ‘The katydids, cricket, grasshoppers and other musical insects are all exaggerated in the tropics, assuming giant forma. Thus their cries are proportionately louder. There is an East Indian cicada which makes a remarkably loud noise. It is called by the natives “dun- dab.” which means drum. From this name comes that of the genus, which is known as durdubia. This is one ‘of the few scientitic terms derived from the Sanscrit. The “death watch” is a popular name ap- plied to certain beetles which bore into the walls and floors of old houses. ‘They make a and knocking their heads against the wood quickly and forcibly. It iy a sexual call. Many superstitions have been entertained respecting the noise produced by these insects, which is sometimes imagined to be a warning of death.

How He Was Entertained and How He Re- paid the Courtesies Extended Him—A Notable Cast of Humlet—Recollections of = Former Stormy Extra Session. Written for The Evening Star. HE EVENING STAR MSS is doing a good work in exhuming some inter- esting relics of the past. From the collection of Dr. J. M. McCalla I ob- tained several litho- graphic plates of bur- lesque illustrations of Fanny Kemble’s book on America, the first of a series in which she dealt pretty severely with our national pecu- liarities. We were rather thin-skinned then and resented the asvaults of Basil Hall, Mrs. Trollope, Fanny Kemble and others. These plates burlesque certain passages in her jour- , extracts from which are quoted and thus il istrated.

Dr. McCalla saya his father, Gen. MeCalla, brought them from Kentucky when he came here in 1845 to take the office of fourth auditor under Mr. Polk. About that time or som lopes had libeled America, and in 1842, on Dickens’ return to England, his unfair treat- ment of those who paid him such distinguished [Ronor, in his seurriloux book, ‘Notes for American Circulation,” disgusted and amazed our people. w York, as usual, led off with the “Boz” ball, and the lavish entertainments he enjoyed there and elsewhere turned his bead.

His sketches had appeared and al tracted attention. and Mr. Willis was introduced to him “‘ns a young man who had aome talent.” bya publisher, and be describes Dickens as almost abject in the presence of the publisher. ‘The most enjoyable book published in America was Tyrone Powers’ “Impressions of America.

The book is accessible in the Con- gressional Library, and I would recommend its perusal. One of these neycomers, writing for « Washington Sunday journal a year or two ago, said there was no society here until 1861, and he was doubtless correct as far as his per: sonal knowledge went. Even Dickens ad- mitted our city was charmingly situated and Mr. Powers prophesied the future of Wash- ington, especially Rock Creck Park. OLD-TIME WASHINOTON ARTIS!

They excel the German philosopher. ay volved a camel from his inner consciousness, for they have not his knowledge und vet state ‘as facta what has not a shadow of truth. In one of the Sunday Journals of last week I find a remarkable effort in that line. In 1851 Dr. George A. and John C. Gardiner were arrested for forgery of a Mex- ican claim and were tried, and the elder, Dr. Gardiner, was convicted, and as soon as con- victed took from his pocket a small powder and ut it in bis month and when he reached the then in Judiciary Square, fell and soon ex- pired. This veracious journalist says he wore one of those old poisoned rings of oriental faine and lifted the setting, touched his tongue to the hollow beneath and in lew than balf hour was dead. What unmitigated rot! ‘These two brothers had secured many friends here and to the last they were believed to be innocent, After the first trial, which resulted in their favor, the money was paid, nearly half a million, but Dr. Gardiner drew but a small portion of it and went to Europe, and while there additional e: dence was presented by Dr. Charles W. Davis, then aclerk in the Department of State, who had resided in Mexic: and the grand jury in- dicted him a second time and the government enjoined the bankers from paying the money to Dr, Gardiner. Mr. Henry May, who was prosecuting the case with the late Philip I. Fendall, was sent to Mexico to obtain evidence, [ think with Mr. Davis, and they secured the testimony upon which Gardiner wns convicted. A DRAMATIC SCENE. 5 Amore dramatic scene was never enacted in court room, and to the very last Gardiner de- nied he had taken poison. So skillfully had the forgeries been accomplished of the old Spanish records that the late James M. Carlisle, a Spanish scholar. was deceived, and with the asso- ciate council, the late Mr. Joseph H. Bradley believed firmly in the Justice of the case. When Dr. Gardner was notified whilein Europe that he had been indicted and the money en- Joined, he wrote to the Attorney General offer- ing to return if the government would release such a sum us would enable him to get bail. The government consented to do eo, and he re- turned und appeared in court with his eminent counsel supported by the almost universal be- lief in his innocence, There was a very pro- found sympathy for the brother of Dr. Gardiner, who had married in one of the old families of Washington. He lives, I understand, in Havana. In noticing the very interesting book of memoirs of John E.

T have been requested by many friends to note for publication some of the nerve phenomena characterizing the sensations I have suffered from my amputated hmb.

All one can do is to bold on to life with the grit he possesnos while passing through this severe ordeal. I think it was the fourth day after the operation that I became strangely conscious of my leg not having been dinsevered at all, It was lying there in bed by the side of its com- panion, perfect in knee, calf. ankle, heel, in- step and hollow of foot and toes, and as natural aw ite fellow. ‘The pain in nearly all ite mem- bers would have sufficed to make it realize itself to me, but I found I could raise it from the bed, work its foot, articulate its toes and gently move it from one place to another.

The President's proclamation convening Con- gress in extra session recalls the turbulent ses- sion of 1841. The financial troubles then. as | now, caused Congress to be convened on the Sist May, 1341, and they remained in session | until late in the fall, ‘The whigs, then in power, passed two, financial measures. which Mr. ler vetoed, and when Mr. Ewing, then Seere- tary of the Treasury resigned he was followed : excepting Mr. Webster. In his letter of resignation, duted September 16, 1841, Mr. Ewing stated that the ~tiscal agency” which Mr. Tyler had vetoed was pre- | pared under the special instructions, of the | President to conform to his ideas of the mode of relief demanded by the finaucial condition of the country. The session was one of the most stormy ones ever held, if we except those | in which “bleeding Kansas” and the recon- struction measures were before Congress. The session was remarkable for the debates, in which Mr. Clay, Mr. Calhoun and Col.
