> The Grasshopper.
? H? name does not exactly fit the facts
I n bis case, ab a "hopper" the diction?
'jxj says is something that moves by
^fbort jumps, either on one leg or both;
tad we have the word hop associated
with lamenesa ? a kind of fnake'shift way
,#f locomotion.
Now, there is nothing of that about
i grass hopper, when _ be gets his bind
? lep in position, hoops his toes in the
! pound and suddenly kicks out backwards,
ke is thrown into the air as if' shot
?ut of a catapult. We doubt if there
if another piece of mechanism in ezist
~ net -that so perfectly carries on the
for which it was made as the
hind legs of a grasshopper. They never
i let out of fix, they never . need greasing,
tnd they never fail to respond when the
:?prinjf is released. His other four legs
<re more for looks thai anything else,
fe! aro only pervicaablc^for crawling
?P grass stemR when be feeda When
he wants to go anywhere it is his hind
legs that he depends on, and they never
go back on him. By his sunny dispo*
sition, his cheerful ways and his value
as "bait", the grasshopper has endeared ?
himself to the average country boy, in
a way that is only surpassed by the lowly
earthworm. A walk through the fields,
or along a. dusty roadside in summer,
a f
would lack one of its charms if there
t
were no grasshoppers to aprlng up be- J
fore one's footsteps, only to drop down
fifteen or twenty feet away. Sometimes
one will seem actually to enjoy your
company, for instead of Jumping to one
side aud letting you pass on, if. will
alight right in your path, and wait until
you are about to step on it before those
wonderful legs straighten out with a
jerk and shoots it another fifteen feet
down the path. It is true he has a pair
or rather capable wings that keeps him
sailing once he is off the ground, but
if it were not for his strong hind legs

he would lind getting about very much
harder. Ilis real wings are transparent,
beautifully veined, and look as if they
were made of some kind of stuff, crinkly
silk, ana in some species are exquisite
ly colored with ddHcate markings of
crimson and orange. These dre?s-up
win^s when not in use, fold up like an
umbrella, x and are protected by a pair
of hard outer covers that take the place
of a raincoat -Grasshoppers are vege
tarians in a general way, and their
mouths arc wonderfully fitted for cutting
and "chewing this kind of food. When
excited or-eaptured~ thftT frave an^ugly
habit of excluding from the lips a dark
brown, tbickish fluid that stains what*
ever it touches. There are many kinds
of grasshoppers, some are long aud
slender with feelers longer than their
bodies, others are short and stmngjy.
Some are green, some are brown, while
others are bright yellow, while still oth
ers are almost black. ThVjMUaft at their
enemies are legioh, iffearly all kinds of
birds had rather dine on grasshopper*
thau anything else. In fact, among the
feathered folks they are as staple article
of food as bread Is among humans. Many
small animals consider them a delicious
lunch, and the average sunpercli will
take them even when served on a book.
And to add to the dangers that beset
his path, in parts of Arabia and Africa,
he is actually eaten by tl? people them
selves. They arc. dried aniLtben beaten
in a mortaf and served hot in little
codfish-like balls. The American In
dians particularly those on the* Great
Plains, are said to have looked on roast
ed grasshopper as a delicacy. . So with
all tys happy-go-lucky ways he has to
be mighty- careful If ho expects to live
out his short life of a single summer,
f?r there is always something, it may
be bird, fish or raccoon, waiting, just
around the corner to turn him into vic
tuals. The short horned grasshoppers
arc the true locusts of history, , whose
depredations on growing crops have caus
ed famines in the land and untold suffer
ing. As far b??t as history goes the
locust, or as we call him, the grasshop
per, has played an important part. In
the old Levitical law they were classed
among the clean and edible creatures,
something that could be eaten without
mtueftmis^ness, openly and above board.
Who knows, if the war bad gone on
much longer but what Mr. Hoover would
have set out- tempting suggestions as to
how grasshoppers may be 'served? Along
late in summer the lady grasshopper get
to thinking of the future generations of
the raqe, and go to work boring little
boles in the ground and depositing their
eggs. The eggs are packed in a pod
