when the rustic youth, says DR.. An
drew Wilson, lettering along some lane,
comes to n standstm to contemplate
with awe and wonder the spectacle Of
the familiar hair cells" or .shair
worms" wriggling about In n pool, he
plods on his way fully convinced that
he has just witnessed the results Of the
transformation Of some horses hairs
into living creatures. And the theory
Of such transformation IL often accept
ed by persons Of considerable culture.
The hair worms certainly present the
appearance Of long delicate black hairs,
which movea about with great rapidity
amid the mud Of pools and bitches.
These worms, In the early stages Of
their existence, inhabit the bodies Of
insects, and may be found coiled up
within the grasshopper, which thus
gives shelter to q guest exceeding many
times the length Of the body Of its host
Sooner or later the hair worm, or Cor
dius, leaves the body Of the insect, and
lays its eggs in water. From each egg
\ little creature armed with minute
hooks Is produced, and this young hair
worm burrows into the body Of some
insect-there to repeat the history Of
its parent Such Is the authentic life
Of the hair worm
