One Race of Cicada Is Around Every 13 Year# There are two races of the period ical ficada—the 17 year race and another that appears every 13 years. Scientists have found no differences in the two except that one remains underground in the larva and pupa stages four years longer than the j other, states a writer in the Chicago j Tribune. j Every year is locust year in some i part of the country. There are 17 1 different broods of the 17 year race I and 13 broods of the 13 year race. ! The broods have been catalogued by Roman numbers. Broods Nos. 1 to 17 compose the 17 year race. The 13 year race is numbered from 18 to 30. There is overlapping of the terri tories occupied by the two races and also by the different broods. In some sections, however, the locusts only appear at 13 or 17 year inter vals, indicating the presence of only I one brood. , The periodical cicadas are not[ found in the western part of the| United States. They live mainly i;il the wooded regions from the Atlan tic coast westward to central Kan sas. Broods of the 17 year race are found chiefly in sections north c! the Ohio and Missouri rivers anu the 13 year broods south of these rivers. ) The first recorded appearance of the 17 year race of the cicada was in 1634 when the colonists at Plym outh noted large swarms of the in sects. This has become known as brood 14. This brood extends west ward to the Mississippi river, cov ering all or parts of 13 states. 1 j Famous Sea Monster One of the most famous of sea monsters was the serpent sighted by her majesty’s ship Daedalus in Oc tober, 1838, while cruising from the Cape of Good Hope to St. Helena. According to one witness, the crea ture “passed rapidly, but so close under our lee quarters that had it been a man of my acquaintance, I should easily have recognized his features with the naked eye; and it did not, either in approaching the ship or after it had passed our wake, deviate in the slightest degree from its course, which it held on at the pace of from 12 to 15 miles per . hour, apparently on some deter mined purpose. Its color was brown and yellowish-white about the throat. It had no fins, but some thing like the mane of a horse, or rather a bunch of seaweed, washed about its back.” An Odd Fashion A very odd fashion appeared in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth cen turies, of embroidering heraldic de vices on the long gowns of the ladies of rank. A picture of those days shows a duchess in a corsage and train of ermine, with a very fierce looking lion rampant embroid ered twice on her long gown. An other displays an heraldic dolphin of very sinister aspect upon one side of her corsage and on the skirt of her long gown.
