tEssst and Other matters.
H bismarck. N. D.-A large green, gold
en- spotted worm is eating the foliage of
the box-elder trees in the Bismarck
school house grounds, and playing havoc
with box elders on the slope, generally.
Noticing that thesworm spun cocoon OF
unusually strong texture, Ed Sloan, the
school house janitor, sent cocoon to an
Eastern friend who is a silk weaver,
with the request that he investigate its
worth for cloth wearing. Later MT.
Sloan received word that the thread IN
the cocoon was almost as strong as silk,
very similar in texture, and that if he
would send Oh half a dozen cocoons his
friend would weave him silk" hand
ikerchief therefrom. Specimens OF the
worm and cocoon will be sent to wash
lngton, d. c., for analysis, and what now
is deemed a pest may turn out bleSs-
Ing.
