These cocoous were from South Africa.

heart and sacrificed them upon the altar
Of science, In the hope Of discovering
something unusual that would explain
the powers Of jumping.
The cocoons looked like piece Of
oval pottery. about millimeters long,
and having rough surface. In each Of
the two investigated pupa waa found.
The two were similar In every respect,
and they no doubt belonged to the larv@
that made the cocoons. This little
pupa, says Dr.. Sharp, is shut up in
remarkably hard. thick cocoon. and Il

Therefore, releasing the hold Of the

forks, each guest being supplied with q
knife. They sat on benches and chests,
ate from pewter platters and the table
was in most cases literally q board
placed on wooden horses. They had few
chairs or tables, but were plentifully
supplied with chests containing their
linen and wardrobes, and these served
in the place Of chairs. In later colonial
times chairs and tables became more
plentiful and forks were more common.
but all preferred to eat with their knives
on account Of the dangerous. sharp, steel
points Of the two pronged forks The
