Bug Hunters Take Field Trip to Wakarusa Valley;Discover Many Nymphs Dwelling There
The members of the Entomology Club saw large numbers of nymphs on their field trip to the Wakaraura valley hall Monday afternoon. These nymphs, however, were not the commonly known kind that are reputed to sport in the waves on calm afternoons and dare any hammond mariner to come and get them. Impa would probably be a better appellation for this particular animal than nymphs.
The nymphs are little insects about an inch long that are now living in the ground in the form of larvae. This brood has reddened continuously in the past few months and will be in its home until 1930 when they will enclose as fall-grown 17-year cicadas.
The 17-year cicada, or to call it by its scientific name, *thelina* septenaria is commonly known as a bacus or birch, or larch, all because the term bacus can rightly be applied to the insects that we know as grasshoppers. The tranparent-winged, singing insects in the trees and bushes are cicadas.
Cicadales have not been studied much and little is known about their habitats or life cycles, Prof. R. H. Beamer, assistant curator of the entomology museum at the University on the life history of various species of cicadas. He said that there are probably only two broods of 17-year cicadas in Kansas, and perhaps only 20 or 28 in the whole United States. A brood is a group which emerges from the soil over the whole territory where they are found and then disappear until the
Conference Attempts to Untangle Problem Facing South America
Representatives of Peru and Chile Struggle to Reach Common Basis
(United Press)
Washington, April 23—Around a long, black table in the conference room of the Department of State here, another effort is being made to solve the troubled problem of Tacoma-Arica, where the capital of South America for 43 years.
Meanwhile the preparations for holding a plebiscite under the terms of President Coolidge's arbiteral award in the case are continuing at Arica.
- Flanked by secretaries and inter-
preters, Mia Cruchnag, Chilean
phenipontologist, and Herman Velarle,
 Ambassador of Peru, struggle to reach
a common basis for negotiations. At
the table is Secretary of State Kate
Statekgo.
Puella contends that the guarantees for a free, fair election, promised by the arbitrator, have not been properly enforced. She contends that present negotiations and the arbitral award providing for a plebiscite are separate and distinct and that both efforts at a settlement could be carried out simultaneously.
It may be stated, however, on reliable authority, that in a memorandum sent both dispatent governments on April 1st, Secretary Kellogg set forth three conditions of acceptance, namely:—
So carefully have all details of the present negotiations been guarded that even the conditions of acceptance of good offices under which the conferences here are proceeding have not been officially revealed.
First: That both Chile and Peru appoint plenipotentiates to negotiate a settlement of the Taena-Arica dispute.
Second: That the Secretary of State would suggest a base or basis for the discussion.
Third: That the representatives of the two governments agree in principle to the bases proposed that the preparations for holding a plebiscite to determine the sovereignty of the disputed provinces shall be suspended in any case may be necessary to determine whether an agreement can be reached.
The opinion prevails among the South American diplomats here, however, that before the present negotiations end Bolivia may enter the picture either at the suggestion of the United States, both Peru and Chile, or at the conclusion, on the request of the two contenders themselves.
nymphs reappear as adults years later.
After trailing the list for the first five innings, the seniors of the School of Business came from behind to win over the faculty in the fifth by a score of 20 to 13 in the feature baseball game of School of Business Day. In the sixth and seventh innings, seniors created by winning from the Juniors by a score of 17 to 14.
When a brood of cicadas appears the trees are filled with the insects; they make such a noise in the evenings that children are often frightened, but they don't move much, but during this period eggs are laid in the twigs of trees, in grass stems, even in pitchfork handles. Professor Beamer told about the last appearance of the 17-year cicadas when the trees in this vicinity looked as if a fall storm and struck them besides the holes used by the insects.
Seniors Defeat Faculty
Soon the nymphs hatch and fall to the ground where they live during the lava stage, which is usually only a few years, but is 17 years in the case of the species studied Monday by the Entigromy Club. At the end of this season, when the population is repeated, the soil of the location observed seems to be filled with the nymphs, which live on the roots of vegetation. Two different sizes have been found there, which leads Professor Baumer to think that perhaps these may represent two different stages in different stages of development.
There are 26 species of cicadas in Kansas, so we have them with us every summer, although different species and different brooders are usually kept apart. One man said. Each species reappears at rregular intervals, however, and when a more complete study of the insects has been made, entomologists may be able to predict just what years each will be found in a given locality.
