The Feeding OF siik-WorIns with a New


As the raising Of the material had always
been found inadequate TO supply the demands OF
the French weavers, Nj. V. Repos, OF Avignon, has
devoted much attention To discover other food
for the silk worm, equally suitable as the mulberry,
and lrDn many experiments II appears he has at
last succeeded. lie at first Analysed the mulberry
leaves % discover their composition, and after
many trials with the leaves of other plants, he
found the snake grass to answer his purpose The
leaf of this contains gum and sugar and in other
proportions than those of the mulberry and milky
substance, which Is not injurious to the worms; but
as the plant does not contain all the elements ne
cessary for the silk worm, he supplied this deficl
ency OF vital matter by immersng the leaves of the
snake grass in the following liquid: water, 1000
grammes; powdered sugar, 80; powdered gum, 5;
hydrochlorate OF ammonia, 2; extract from the
stems of the mulberry, 4.
The extract from the stems Of the mulberry i'm
parted To the leaves of the snake grass all the fla
vor OF that of the leaves of the mulberry there is
doubt that the resin which it contains in large
quantity, powerfully assists the silk worm in the
fabrication of it's precious thread the other sub
stances render IL easy OF digestion, and capable OF
assimilation To the requirements OF the worm.
When the above named substances aredssolvcd
in water, the liquid is placed in vessel, and TWEEN

nets or wicker work The leaves thus prepared
over light are given to the silk worms the next

This method has completely succeeded, and

The above statements are for the districts, not
the towns, named 10 should be recollcctcd IN this
statement that in most ofthcsc places ship building
is a recent thing. Notwithstanding that, Of all the
steamers built in the United States, about three
foutis arc built the shores Of the lakes and rv
crs of the West OF the total tonnage built in the
United States about One,ffh; and Of the whole
number of vessels, about OHe-seUenh
The tonnage built in the single district Of Gin
cinnati Is exceeded by seven places in the United
States viz: Bath Portland, Marlborough, BOs-
ton, New York Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
The tonnage bull in the Cincinnati district exceeds
that Of Virginia, North Carolina South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, and Alabama, having twelve hun
drcd miles Of Atlantic sea COAST That the business
Of navigation and ship building will increase in the
West rapidly, there can be no doubt because the
produce of the West for export and transportation
also increases immensely The interior commerce
by railroads will take off vast quantities Of the
freights which might have gone by steamboats,.
Still there will be enough. Teeming millions cover
the soil, making new branches Of business, open
ing new fields, and giving new impulses 20 the
physical energy Of the western world
