Provide for "a New Industry.
For the purpose of making expert
ments in the raising of silkworms and

of Agriculture Wilson proposes TO ask

If his experiments turn out well, 1t is

ter of the scheme that the south Will
prove a most fertile field for SILK
farmers and that eventually the IN
dustry will be conducted there and in
the west on extensive lines. The sci
ence of raising silkworms is most in
teresting. The silkworm Is the larva-
of a moth and may be regarded as
truly domesticated showing no desire
to escape from confinement If kept sup

worm are nearly spherical and about
the size of turnip seeds. Each female
produces on an average from 300 to 400
Of them, about 20, 600 making an ounce
in weight. The eggs, when about to
hatch, are spread out on clean paper
thinly, and over them are laid small
pieces of ordinary mosquito netting,
over which are scattered a few finely
cut mulberry leaves. The newborn
worms at once pass through the
meshes of the net in search of food,
and the whole can be easily removed
to the place where they are to pass the
first stage of their existence. When
at length the worms begin to lose APP
petite and throw out silk, it is time for
the grower to construct little arches
of twigs between the shelves for the
spinning of the ocoons. When this

mount into the branches and begin to
spin. Care has to be taken to prevent
any two or three of them from making
a double or treble cocoon, which would
be unfit for weaving.

THE DREADFUL Mousg.


Some Amusing Instances of Its Awe
some Influence on Women.
In the course Of a recent discussion
of the a~ntipathy of most women to
mice, a New York lawyer related a
curious incident. An Italian was try
Ing, On a street corner, to sell white
mice, n of which, by way of attract
ing the attention of the passers-by, he
allowed to sit upon his hat brim. Two
women noticed the mouse, and
stopped. The owner lifted it down
and began to describe its good quail
ties-its tameness, its beauty, its do
cility-in the hope of effecting a sale.
In the middle of his discourse the lit
tie creature made a sudden spring, and
alighted upon the arm of one of the
women. She gazed for a moment with
dilating eyes of horror, and then, with
a loud shrek, fell in a faint to the
sidewalk. She was carried into the
nearest shop and 1t was twenty min
utes before she recovered conscious
ness. The curious thing about it is
that a policeman, attracted by the
commotion, recognized her as a daring
criminal, whose portrait was in the
rogue's gallery, and whose offenses
against the law had been accompanied
by violence; she had been twice con-
victed of assaults with knife and
pistol. Yet this lawless and dangerous
virago collapsed at contact with a
mouse. Charles Reade, the novelist,
recognized the complete dissertation
between this shudderlng a~ntipathy and
any feebleness of will or courage. In
one Of his best tales his Scotch hero
inc, a dauntless fisher-girl, who has
dared the elements all her days, and
has but a moment before braved the
wrath Of a drunken sailor, shrinks ter
rifled from a ous with a string tied
to its leg, which a small child tried to
show to her. A friend points out her
inconsistency. "a mouse is N awe
some beast; it's not like a man." ex-
plains Christie, ingenuously. To most
women, and not a few men, mice are
as our modern outdoor girls continue
still "awesome" beasts. Nevertheless,
to improve their nerve and eliminate
hysteria, the number that scream faint
or lose their s~elf-control at the sight
of a scared little gray shadow skit-
tering harmlessly across the floor,
tends steadily to decrease. They may
not like a mouse any better than their
great-grandmothers did; but they do
not like to let a mouse render them RI

the Philippine, Islands.
The United States geological sur
vey will publish before long some facts
about the volcanoes of the Philippines,
which appear to be interesting. One of
them is the most symmetrically beau
tiful volcanic cone in the world, being
even more perfect than the famous Flu
jiyama, the sacred mountain of Japan.
1t is less than 5000 feet high, and the
name of it is Albay. Albay vas an ex-
ceedingly active volcano during the
last century, having burst into erup-
ton at least % times since the year
1900. 1t broke out only last year with
renewed plutonic activity, and back in
1914 no fewer than 1900 lives were lost
in consequence OF one of it's bad spells,
a village four miles from the crater
being buried under lava and ashes to
such a depth that the ridgepoles of the
houses were hidden. Between Albay
and Laguna de Bay are many extinct
or dormant craters. The magnificent
cone of Banajao, 1882 feet in height,
is visible from Manila bay. Its crater,

up to 1880, when a violent eruption
took place, bursting out the southern
side of the crater and pouring out both
water and incandescent lava. On an
island in the Lake of Bombon is the
remarkable Taal volcano, which is
readily accessible from Manila. Its
central crater is oval shape, a mile and
a quarter across the greatest diameter
and within it's rim two lakes of hot
water, one yellow and the other green,
and a small active cone fifty feet in
height, from which escape steam
I'M sulphurous gases. The strange
colors of the waters are due to the
presence of chemicals evolved in sub
terranean laboratories. The greatest
eruption of Taal took place in 1854,
wiping out four villages. Apparently
the volcanic ash lends wonderful fer
tility to the soil, and presently a new
growth of bamboo and palms appears
where desolation has reigned. Even
the localities most seriously and con-
stantly threatened by volcanoes in the
Philippines are promptly repopulated

water Cure for stir muscles.

The simplest temporary cure for a
stiff neck or any similar attack of the
muscles, says a physician, is a free
drinking of water. A large glass full
of water every half hour, or even Of
tener, should be taken, and the treat
ment kept up for at least half a day.
This, it must be remembered, only
cures the effects, and unless it is kept
up for a long time will hardly get at
the cause, which is nov generally in
derstood to be an excess of uric acid in
the blood. The use of a very large
amount of water has a tendency to
dilute the blood and increase the sup
ply of the lubricants about the sheaths
of the muscles. 1t is the deficiency OF
those lubricants that produces what
are known as stiff necks, stiff should
ers and the like.
