IMPORT WORMS FOR BIRDS.
Quantities from an Old Ger
man In New jersey.

Chicago is obliged to import its meal
worms from New Jersey.
The worm most valued from COM
mercial standpoint is the small, inch
and half long specimen known as the
meal worm, usually found in -four mills
and kindred places. 1t is sold at all
bird stores as dessert or piece de re-
sistance for the family canary or par
rot. The retail price for meal worms
is 25cents per hundred, and large guam
titles are sold, says the Chicago Trib-
une. A man who sells large number
ofmeal worms at his bird store in State
street each year says that the supply
used to come from various mills around
the country, the mill boys being tempt
ed by liberal rewards to put in their
noon hours prying around behind the
loose boards of the mill exhuming the
worms and sending them to Chicago.
But now the dealer receives all his
supply from an old German down in
New Jersey, who runs a sort of meal
worm ranch. This man breeds the
worms and ships them when they are
fully grown and of proper weight and
color. He has building fixed up to
resemble an old mill, full of loose
boards and with flour and meal plenti-
fully sprinkled around. The unsus-
pecting worms are led to believe that

siberian Railroad.

The Official Messenger publishes :.
series of statistics in regard to the
Siberian railroad, which show the
development of the traffic on this
line. The road was opened to traf-
tic by sections, as the work of con-
struction advanced. The opening of
the Tchelia binsk- Omsk section dates
as far back as 1894, but trains have
run through to Irkutsk only since
1898. In 1898, s6O,662 passengers
were carried; in 1899, 919,7s2, and in
1900, 966,551 persons.
Three hundred and five thousand
four hundred and twenty-six emil
grants were also carried. The small
increase in 1900 was due to the trou..
bles in China and the bad crops in
Asiatic Russia.
In addition the Siberian railroad
carried in 1898 s6,663 officers and
men; in 1899, 130,59s, and in 1900,
211,976.
The receipts derived from passen-
ger traffic were $1,031,S71 in 1899,
$1,243,594 in 1899 and $1,614,644 in
1900. The quantity of merchandise
carried by fast freight shows 6,840
tons in 1888, 13,4o4 tons in 1889 and
27,759 tons in 1900. These goods
consisted principally of butter, fresh
meat, fish, fruit and many other
products which abound in Siberia
and for which the market is steadi-
ly increasing in the far east. The
traffic in butter alone increased 81
per cent. from 1899 to 1900. The
traffic by slow freight was f,r morn
considerable, viz, in 1898, Cliffs
tons; in 1899, 661,11s tons, and ,a3s
1900, 714,477 tons.
Among the numerous articles CT lr-
ried that show an increase are Ye-
ment, plaster, lime and building RIA
terials, mineral oils, cast iron o nd
steel ware and meat.

ton as well as q quaint addition to
decorative art. A toad, lying on a
table or hanging on to the back of
a chair, will, although somewhat
creepy when seen unexpectedly, look
very well as soon as the bright green
of the young fern leaves sprout
through his stringy skin.
The cultivation of the root, once in
the private purchasers possession, re-
quires no special care. Before being
hung up, the ball or figure is soaked
for an hour or two in soft water if
possible. 1t should be taken down
and watered two or three times
week, in the same way as any other
plant, and should always be kept
moist.
In due time the fern roots will
throw out mass of dainty fronds
through the outer covering. They
will turn yellow in autumn and drop
off.
The fern should be kept quite dry
during the winter months. The fol-
lowing spring fresh fronds. in greater
luxuriance than ever, will come in
due course after watering.

1t is only about three years ago
that the first of these japanese
freaks made it's appearance in Amer
lea. Now they have caught on to
such remarkable extent that hun
dreds of thousands were imported
to meet the demand of the buying
public.
Mr.. Saito is the designer of most
of the extraordinary-loo crea-
lures which are so much favored by
the public.

the fern, which, under proper treat
ment, pushes it's leaves between the
loosely-knitted cover of davallia root
covered with beautiful fine sprays of
fern, the effect being both artistic
and curious.
1t is astonishing how quickly the
pretty Japanese maids manipulate
the various materials used in the
construction of the designs, many
of which are exceedingly difficult.
Take, for instance, the forming of a
miniature sailing-boat, with mast
and sail complete. The fern roots
have first to be arranged in the re-
quired shape, and in such way that
sprays will eventually appear from
every portion of the hull, the mast,
and the sail-frame.
There is no limit to the ambition
and resource of the ''fern freak" de-
signer. Mr.. Saito will tackle the
formation of a nearly life-size ele-
plant or horse as calmly as he does
the common or garden fern ball
which is intended to hang from the
ceiling of room or conservatory.
Monkeys and toads are far and
away the most favored by the pur-
chasing public. Some very comical
effects may be secured in the bend
ing or twisting of the limbs Of these
limitations.

and that the red men, in their turn, fol-
