Where Musquetoes come From.

Many people are puzzled to know how these pests o' summer originate, and they may be Sratihed by chapter on natural history, fur nlshed by living eutomologist:
 ', The musquetoe. proceed from the animal cuie commonly termed tue .wiggle tajl' 1 took bowl of clean water and set t in the sun In few days some half-dozen 'wgse tails were visible. These continued to increase in size till they were three-sxtecnhs Of an inch in length As they approached their maturity they remained longer at the surface, seeming to live In the two mediums of air and water; final ly they assumed a chrysalis form, and by an increased specific gravity sank to the bottom of the bowl. Here, in few hours. perceived short, black furze of hair growing out on every side of each, till it assumed the form of a ,hi- mute caterpillar. And thus its specific gravity being counteracted or lightened, 1t readily float ei to the surface, and the slightest breath of air waited il against the side of the bowl In very brief space of time afterwards, the warm atmosphere matched out the fly, and 1t escaped, leaving it's tiny house upon the water.
