Marlett, chairman of the fad- | eral horticultural board, who has! perfected the information on the ci- | cada, calls the insect the most inte esting in the world, because of the spectacular swarms in which it ap- s queer recurrence at long ervals, and the portentous signifi- ! cance frequently attached to it. Every | locust year has been a year of fear and dread, even in civilized times. Some people have fancied that they could detect In the cry of the insect s resemblance to the name of the | yptian monarch, Pharaoh, who per- secuted the Israelites. Superstition | attached also to the shape of the filmy bars on the clcada’s wings, which seemed to form the letter “W” interpreted as a forecast of war. “Since this outbreak will come just at the canclusion of the greatest | war,”” Mr. Marlett sald, “and when ! even the imagination of the rural prophet could hardly conjure up the likelihood of another one, some new explanation will apparently have to to be found.” ALSATIANS RAISE MONEY | FOR DEVASTATED FRANCE.
