Vegetable Caterpillar.

The most extraordinary object l have
ever seen is the New Zealand vegetable
caterpillar. The rata is parasite creep
err which first destroys its forest host
and then brushes il to death and, usurp-
ing its skeleton, becomes tree itself
If the rata Seeding is dug up, it is
found to be springing not from seed,
but from the head of a perfectly formed
caterpillar.
1t is supposed by some that the cater
pillar, which on dissection proves to be
internally the exact counterpart of its
living insect relative, swallows the tiny
rata seed while living, and burrowing
into the ground becomes, instead of a
chrysalis, the terminating home of the
seed, which by some agency turns its
unfortunate foster mother into wood.
Others, however, contend the cater
pillar itself is produced by the rata,
urging i'll support of their theory that
if springing from a seed the shoot would
grow out of different parts of the cater
pillar instead of invariably growing
out of the head.
The insect vegetable is yellowish,
about four inches long, and is fully ex-
tended. l have seen them freshly dug
up, and others that had been kept for
years, and all had the appearance of a
perfect insect carved in wood. Pear

BY the introduction of electricity
into the process the period required
for the tanning of feathers has been
very materially reduced. In the final
process of unhairing the pelts and skins
it has been demonstrate that if a cur
rent of small density be passed through
the solution of lime and arsenic in
which they are usually soaked the proc
ess is so hastened that the skins are
ready for the mechanical removal of the
hair i'll several hours, whereas in the
ordinary way it would require several
days. The passage of the electric cur
rent appears TO carry the solution into
the pores Of the hide i'll very remark
able manner. After the hair is removed
and the skins placed in the proper tan
ming solutions weak current is again
passed through the solution, which has
similar accelerating effect. The fig
ures of time required for tanning by
this process are, with bark liquor, about
II days for cowhide and one-half to
three days for calfskin and one day for
