Matthew Cooke, Record ■ '■ Office— Dear
Sir.: Do you know of anything that will pre
vent grasshopper.-* from destroying an orchard
or vineyard? I have tried everything I could
think of or hear of, but all to no purpose. Do
you think buhach will keep theiu off the trees'.'
Any information you can give me will be grate
fully remembered by myself and neighbors.
Reply: Have sent you last Saturday's
Record-Ukiox, containing illustration of
pan for capturing grasshoppers in orchards,
vineyards, etc. I have not made tiny ex
tensive experiment- with buhach on grass-
hoppers since your letter arrived, but tried
it in a box of the hoppers -which came to
hand, and in fifteen minutes all were laid
down, l! the pests are destroying your
orchard and vineyard, spray them with
7inc pound of buhach to live gallons of
water — to ten may be sufficient. This
will drive them # to the ground so that you
.'.an destroy them readily. And also try

You can probably get it up for about $..

A " I_IOHT.YI.VG WORM."
Rev. A. Myers, of Redding, Shasta
aunty : The beautiful specimen oi the I
[low-worm received ; it is the larva or grub |
ii a beetle belonging to the family Elater
ris, and which are popularly known as I
he skip-jack, spring and snapping beetles. I
'rofessor Riley figures this larva as thesup
ios_d larva ol a species of this family,
:nown as the black Melanactes {ifelanaetet
rieeus.) The larva of another family of the
;enus Melanactes is luminous, but is de
cribed by Mr. Sauken as being provided
vitfa two ocelli (simple eyes), which are not
.resent in this specimen.
[Note— The specimen received is over two
nches in length, and the sutures between
.11 of the segment show a bright green
ihosphoric light. It i- the most perfect
pecimen I have seen in California.

Reply: I have examined the pear leaves

HARVEST IBS OP. LOCUSTS.
In the issues of the Rkcobd-TJuios of the
20th and t-ist inst., i: was notice" thai some
Specimens of insect sent this i. Mil by Mr.
W. G. Williams, of Sacramento, were the
harvest Hies, commonly known as the ;
seventeen-year cicada, and the first speci
mens known by me to have been found in
this State » The following sketch of their
history may be int. resting :
The seventeen-year cicada belongs to the
order Heraiptera. The perfect insect is of
a black co.or; the body measures about one
and one hall inches in length, and about
five-eighths of an inch across the thorax :
the rings of the abdomen and legs are
orange red and the anterior margin of the
wing covers and larger veins are of the
same color ; the wings and wing covers are
transparent and reticulated, and when
the Insect is at rest they are inclosed at the
sides of the body (roof-like); antenna short
and awl-shaped. There are several species
cailcil harvest flies trom the circumstance
that they appear about the time oi harvest
in the Eastern States. Some of the species
are possessed of certain characters which
give them notoriety, especially the seven
teen-year cicada {Cicada teplendwn), which
appears only at intervals of seventeen years,
and then in immense numbers. The males
are provided with musical or sounding or
gans, located on the sides of the body be
low the wings, with which they produce a
rattling sharp and v- ii.i can Ik* heard a
considerable distance. The females arc
destitute of the apparatus, but arc provided
with an ovipositor which is lodged in a
furrow Seheaih the abdomen, by which she
can be readily distinguished.
Dr. Harris writes: "In those parts of
Massachusetts which are subject to the
visitations of till' cicailn.'it may be seen in
forests of oak about the middle of June.
Here such Immense numbers are some
times congregated as to bend and even
break down the limbs of trees by their
weight, uid the Woods sound with the
din of their discordant drums from morn
ing to evening. lifter pairing, the females
proceed to prepare a nest for 7 the reception
of thsir eggs. They select for this pur
pose branches ol moderate .i/.e, which
they clasp on both sides with their legs,
and then bending down the piercer, or ovi
positor, at an angle of forty-five degrees,
they repeatedly thrust it obliquely into
the .*.-. s._d work in the direct of
the fibers, at the same time putting
in motion the lateral saws, and in
this way detach little splinters of the wood
at one end, so as to form a kind of fibrous
lid or cover to the perforation. The hole is
bored obliquely in the pith, and is gradu
ally enlarged by a repetition of the same
operation, till a longitudinal fissure is
formed of sufficient extent to receive from
ten to twenty eggs. The side-pieces of the
piercer serve as a groove to convey the eggs
into the nest, where they are deposited in
pairs, side by side, but separated from each
other by a portion of the woody fiber, and
they are implanted in the limb somewhat
obliquely, so that one end points upward.
After one limb is thus sufficiently stocked
the cicada goes to another, and passes from
limb to limb and from tree to tree till her
store, which consists of four or five hun
dred eggs, is exhausted. Although the
cicadas abound most upon the oak, they
resort occasionally to other forest tree.-, and
even to shrubs when compelled from neces
sity for depositing their eggs, and not un
frequently commit them to fruit trees. when
the latter are in the vicinity."
The eggs hatch in from forty to fifty
days; some writers claim a shorter time.
The young insect is about one-sixteenth
of an inch in length, and is pro
vided with six legs, the anterior or
fore pair are formed almost like lobsters'
claws, and are armed with strong spines.
Immediately after being hatched they drop
to the ground, where they bury themselves
in the soil and reach the roots of plants,
etc., especially those which are tender and
succulent ; they extract tlio sap by per
forating the root with their beaks. " The
cicada remains in the larva stage seventeen
years. The records at New Haven, Conn..
show that they appeared in 1792, 1800, 1826
and 1843. That these insects in the larva;
state were injuries to fruit trees was first
discovered by J Miss Margaretta St. Morris,
who attributes the decline of the pear tree
and the failure of its fruits to depredations of
the young cicada on its roots. On remov
ing the earth from a pear tree that had
been declining for years, without any ap
parent cause, she found the larvai of the
cicada in countless numbers clinging to
the roots of the tree. From a root one
yard long and one inch in diameter she
gathered twenty-three larva.
As the time
for their trans
formations ap
proach, the pu
pie (see accom
panying figure
showing natu
ral size) ascend
neat the top of the ground. When
-the time arrives they issue from the
ground in the night, crawl up the
trunks of trees, to which they fasten
themselves securely by their claws, ami in
a short time the outer skin bursts, through
which the perfect insect emerges, leaving
the empty pup:,, skin fastened to the tree.
111 a few hours the wings stretch to their
full dimensions, and the insects become
strong enough to fly.
The injury to fruit trees would be in the
loss ot the limbs infested by the eggs, and
the effect of the larva; living on the routs.
One instance is given : During several suc
cessive nights the pup..- kept issuing
from the ground, and fifteen hundred
were counted coming from under one
apple tree. Consequently there were fifteen
hundred holes in the ground leading tothe
tunnel in which they lived. These open
ings are circular and about five-eighths
of an inch in diameter. Where such holes
are found, it is a sure indication of the
presence of the cicada. There i- a small
species of the cicada found in this State,
which make their appearance annually.
In 1882 specimens were received from Mrs.
Cook, Dutch Flat; in 1883, from Anahiem,
Los Angeles county. Mr. Williams sent one
specimen found in his orchard this
spring with the larger specimens, and this
week, two fine specimens were received
from W. 11. Robinson, of Stockton.
•Mr. Williams should have his trees ex
amined, and any branches found infest
by the egg deposits should be cut off and
destroyed.
[Note—This year they are expected to
appear in Virginia, it being the sixteenth
year since they were last present.]
Tight Trousers.
"Here, conductor, this man's fainted."
The words were uttered in a ton of ex
citement by a stout woman about 40 years of
at-".' recently in a Columbia-avenue car, and
as she spot • a slim youth who was seated
beside her in the corner of the car fell for
ward and dropped in a heap upon the
straw.
With the assistance of a gentleman, the
conductor lifted the senseless youth on to
the seat, ami two minutes later, as the car
passed a drug store, pulled the bell-strap,
and. followed by half a dozen interested
passengers, five of whom were women, car
ried him into the store, where he was
placed on a lounge in the back room.
A doctor was hurriedly summoned, and
after a disappearance of about ten minutes
the young man and physician came out of
the room, which had been kept closed,
arm-in-arm. The young man's (ace was
still pale, and he walked with a very per
ceptible tremor.
A Tier a few moments' rest the young man
got on another car and went away, and the
doctor add: " This is the fourth case this
month 1 have seen of th deadly effect of
wearing tight trousers, and had not that
young man been attended to promptly he
might ha. c been in great danger."
* ; Tight trousers'." queried a bystander,
incredulously.
I '"Yes, rir; tight trousers! Why, you
cannot imagine how often we doctors have
I to treat cases of illness brought on by no
other cause. Take that young man. for in
stance : his trousers were at least four sizes
too small for "-.-. : not too short, of course,
but to ' light, an ! for hours and hours he
had been walking about with a pressure of
at least 275 pounds to the square inch on
his olexii rin'scctori arteries, which are situ
ated in the calves of the human leg. This
tremendous pressure forces the blood into
channels not able to carry it without un
due straining, and although the victim
feels no pain be is liable at any moment to
topple over in a swoon, and unless relief is
promptly given a long and serious illness
is likely* to follow. It is a similar trouble
to that experienced when it was the fash
ion for ladies to wear very tight sleeves,
except that in the case of tight trousers the
material i* heavier, the arteries are larger,
and the result apt to be more dangerous
an I to relieve." — [Philadelphia
