remain in dormant state until spring
of the following year. But occasionally
they are seen to hatch spontaneously,
ten or twelve days after they are laid.
Mr.. Duclaux, professor of the faculty
of sciences at Lyons, who is my inform
ant, tells me now that he entered on a
series of experiments on this sub
iect and discovered that the Matching,
or, perhaps, I should say forcing pro-
cess, can be effected, and results salts
factory produced at will. How does he
do it ? BY rubbing the eggs with fairy
hard brush, subjecting them to the &C.
ton of electricity, or more simple and
sure still, by dropping them for half q
minute into concentrated sulphuric acid.
I am told that Mr.. Bale has effected
the same results by chlorhydric, nitric,
ascetic or tartaric acids. A submersion
of few minutes in heated water at fifty
degrees centigrade Tor say 1872 Fahren-
heit) is of like efficacy.
The operation by any mode must be
performed when the eggs are not over
the second or third days age. When
this new method is accomplished, the
mulberry tree is in full vigor and the
weather favorable, SO that the rearing
of the worm is not liable to any severe
climatic effects or sudden atmospheric
changes. The eggs from the second
batch are productive of more prolific
progeny than those from the batch thai
have been alternating, if I may use the
term, for many months. I learn that
this discovery is opening some Other
fields of application, and, before long
what may not be producedP
