THE SEVENTEEN YEAR LOOUSTS.
This is the year for the appearance of the
famous Seventeen Year locusts in this dis
trict and immense numbers have already em
erged from their underground tradeformation
place. It is one of oar most interestinf in
sects, and excites curiosity, whtlrevei it is
seen.
There is no fact better established than
that it occurs only, in general, eVery seven
teen years, and helm its:popnlar name; its
scientific cognomen is cicada 3eptendecim. It
ham no affinity Nyith the "locus" orScrip
tare, that destrubtive animal big a grass
hopper.
The development of this species of Cicada
has been carefully observed through all its
various stages and it requires that period of
time to undcrgoits tratffformatioii, and. thus
requires a Itlnger time to come to maturity,
than any other insect known.: There 16
some rea9io,4 Okb'efidlOthat in the South ;
below 33° of latitude, the eicada appears
every thirteen yeays k .but this poinf t .hae pot
yet been saliitfaetetilscitteled. --
It is indigenous to this' eountry, and oc
curs nowhere else in
The head is furnished with a snout, which
forms a - sheath for three small hairs, which
are very fine and flexible, by means of which
the insect, both in the crysalis, arid perfect
state, takes up fluid nutritous matter from
the surface of vegetablqubitincee, and froth
the soil or earth. Thuti rkitrum, of beak,
when not in use, lies flat'ort the ,breast, but
is extended perpendicularly, when feeding.,,
It is incapable of penetrating• any substance,
and hence . qouldnAtipj rreany person, and
the same is true of the instrument at th 6
other end of the body of the female, ing
hereafter be shown:. -
•
The ovipositdr, the, instilment with which'
the female deposits her eggs, and with
which she perforates the: yeang;limhs and
twigs of trees and shrubs, and sometimes
even hard wood, is singularly constructed.
It is about iths of an inch long—the size of
a small pinyilatteneci andpsomewhat spear
shaped at the point. It is attached to the
under side of the body, and, when not in'
use, is nicely concealed in ty deep fissure,
that extends to the extremity of the body. ,
It is composed of three pieces, connected
together at the sides by very, beautiful
tongue and groove work, by means of which
the two side pieces play up and down upon
the centre piece, which is the ovipositor.
It is extremely flexible, but, if bent tdo far,
will break. The edges of the points or
spear portions of the side, pieces are serrated,
and thus form saws,. while. the flattened sur
faces are cut in the manner and supply the
place of rasps. The centre piece' is a tube,
with two sharp projecting points above and
below the orifices. The eggs are laid in the
twigs of trees after the following fashion:
The females select the green liting,limbs
of trees and shrubs, of about the size of their
own bodies. They take every kind trees
except the "pine and other, tererhinthinate
species, and it matters not, how hard the
wood. Having selected the twig, the insect
raises her body considerably, extends the
ovipositor, and presses its point against 'the
bark, piercing it with the point of the cen
tre piece. This puncture is large enotigh
to admit the point of one of the side pieces,
or saws, which is immediately thrust in, and
a regular, quick sawing operation is com
menced until the ,incision is large enough
to admit the other side piece, which also
begins to saw, the centre piece remaining
fixed, and serving as a guide. As soon as
the blade part of the instrument is fairly in-,
serted, say the 12th part of an incl„ln
length, the insect presses upon the end of
it attached to her body, and thus by the ac
tion of a lever raises the ends of the divided
fibres of the wood. After considerable very
curious work, which you have not room' for
me to specify, she •reinserts the, ine,trament
to the full length',
.and - deposits - two eggs
from the oviduct or centre piece. Shothen
withdraws ito and twain immediately rein
serts it, depositing two more eggs. Thus
she proceeds until she has deposited from ten
to twenty. The eggs are uniformly, set in
two rows, close together. Fifteen or twenty
excavations of the same kind are made on
the same limb, and each female lays from
four hundred to five hnidred eggs. These
mustard-seed-shaped eggs,require over fifty
days for hatching, and-bout that time thine
comes out of each a little .worm with six
legs, a snout, claws, and feelers. It must
take food, but where will the infant worm
find it? Surely not upon the tree and its
mother is not there to tell. it what to do.
She died long ago,,and this little orphan is
left to" hoe his own row;" or rattier; to grub
out his own tunnel. Now, who tells it' what
to do? for we shall see it does precisely what
is right. Soon after it is hatched, it falls
from the limb to the 'ground, of its own ac
cord, which descent does not injure it; but
so soon as it reaches the 'earth it stets off
on a short tour among the herbage ands ,
fibrous matter of the surface Boil. It is. i
blind, and we may well conceive the inuti
lity of oyes to an insect destined to live se
venteen years under ground. Nature is too
economical in her favors to render such a
superfluous service. It soon insinuates its
elf among the fibrous, roots of the herbage,
slow the surface, upon the succulent juices
of which it feeds by means of the very small
hairs of the snout, wiping up the small par
ticles of moisture, as with a brush, and thus
bringing the fluid into the orifice.of the tube
of the snout.
It lives during the remainder of the warm
season in the vegetable subsoil. On the
approach of the cold season it forms around
itself a cell, by cementing. plirtictes Of earth
together, and in this cell it remains for an
other season, and thus it continues from
year to year. It opens its cell in summer
to gain access to tender roots, each year en
larging its cell as it grows •in -size. It , 4,1-

of the soil, sometimes as deep as two, or
even four feet. It remains in this cell un
til the time has come for it to emerge to
the surface, and finally comes forth in the
chrysalis form, which is soon hardened by
the atmosphere. It crawls on a fence,
shrub, or tree, bursts open on the back,lind
the perfect insect appears.—Lutheran Ob

HOW LONG WE MIGHT LIVE.
Professor Faraday adopts
,Flou'rin's phy
siological theory that the natural age of a
man is one hundred years. The duration
of the life be believes•to bemeatiured
time of growth. When office the bon'es'Ad
ecphysis are united the body grows no more,
and at twenty years, this-:union is effected
in rumn. In the camel it takeerplace'at eight;
in the horse at five ; in the rabbit at one.
The natural termination of life is five re
moves from theee several points. Man, be
ing-twentk years in growing,livet five times
twenty years, that is, one hundred; the
camel; is eight years in growing, and lives
five- tiipes eight years, that is to say forty
years; the horse is five yea.rfi in gr l owing,

AN ANCIENT STATUE EXHUMED.
A late Greek paper mentions 'the discov
ery, in the course of spine excavations
the island of Cephalonia, of a statue of
Hercules, entire in all its parts, and better
preserved than almost any known relic of
Grecian art. It appears to belong either to
the very, highest period of that art, the days .
of Phidias and Praxiteles, or, at least, to an.
age but little later than theirs. The posture
is said to be very admirable, the body lean
ing toward the right, with the left shoulder
a little elevated, the
,_left hand wrapped
around with the lion's skin, and the right
closed with a grasp expressive of mighty
strength. The right foot rests firmly on
the pedestal, while th© left only touches it
on tiptoe. The whole expression is intense
ly life-like, particularly that of the head.
The hair and beard are thick and curly, and
the eyes full of brilliant expresion.
THE POISONOUS FLY OF MEXICO.
A recent number of the _Ledger gave an'
account of a certain fly in Costa Rica and
South America, which lays its eggs in the
nostrils of human kind while asleep, the
larvae from which were thereby intro
duced into the nasal passages, and gave rise
to the most intolerable agony, and`frequently
death. By a late article in a medical Jour
nal, we learn the same, or a closely, allied
species of lucilia -wp.s the source of serious
trouble to the foreign troops in Mexico dur
ing the French occupation, infesting the
low, warm valleys throughout the entire
country. Tho symptoms are itching of the
nose followed by headache and swelling of
the nose, with bleeding at the liostrils and
ule . elitti,on, accompanie by, discharge of
larva+. Erysipelas of the face and head is
frequent, someti mes succeeded by meningitis.
Injections of chloroform, although very
painful, were used to most advantage.
Cevadilla kills the larva, and expels them
by sneezing, but is apt to produced hem
orrhage.

Brood to the Head, Acidity of the Stomach Nausea
Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Fulness or Weight ,
