In the l-ech Valley there is belief that

Elijah. In North Germany, Swabia, and
Iyrol, superstition prevails, that if the
eggs are taken from raven S nest, boiled.

The Silk Worm.

The silk worm is a caterpillar, and if it
lived through the existence intended for

naturalists call bonbyx. It was diseov-
cred great many years ago that they
produced fine article Of silk which might
be used in the manufacture off different
garments; in other words, that there was
money in them Consequently they have
since been carefully fed and treated. The
caterpillar thrives best upon the leaves of
the white mulberry. After Matching from
the egg it feeds yoraeiously, moalts three
