WHY cocHiNEAL AND cARMINE ARE
so COSTLY.

The Ly0Am0ngcy, of London, explains
why the beautiful cochincal and car
mine colors are so expensive. 1t says:
One Of the best and most powerful ami
nal dyes used in the arts and manuiac-
lures is the body of the female cochi-
neal insect, dried. This insect exists
on species of cactus. and when alive
is about the size of ladybrd, or per-
haps 4 trfc smaller. 1t is winglesS,
rather long, equally broad all over,
and is marked behind with deep Incl
sions and wrinkles. Il has six feet,
which, curiously enough, are only of
use directly after birth, and secures it.
self to the plant by means OF trunk
which is found between the fore feet
and derives its nourishment from the
sap. The male cochineal is like the
female only during the larva period
1t changes into chrysalis, and even
tually appears as red flies. The female
deposits some thousands OF eggs, which
she protects under her body until they
are Matched, and on the appearance Of
the young ones the parent dies. While
the young are in their larva state their
sex cannot be determined. They lose
their skins several times, and while the
female fixes herself on the plant, the
male, after getting over the pupa state,
is winged. Two or three months is
the extent of the life OF these little in
sects. They are gathered before they
lay eggs, and are then rich in coloring
matter.
Carminc is prepared from the cochi-
neal insect, the CoffTS act, which is
collected by brushing the branches Of
the cactus with the tail of a squirrel or
other animal; this is very tedious work.
They are killed by immersing them in
boiling water, and this has to be done
At once or they would lay their eggs,
and thereby lose much OF their value.
There are many processes for prcpar-
ing the carmine. The French process
may be taken as an example: One
pound of the powdered cochincal in
sects is boiled for fifteen minutes in
three gallons of water; one ounce OF
