SILK WORMS EAT LETTUCE.
Food That Seems to Satisfy the Useful
Little spinner Perfectly

Little spinner Perfectly.
Professor c. W. Woodwork Of the
State University is engaged in breed
ing Silkworms which will thrive on
lettuce. 1t appears that the leaf of the
lettuce is nutritive equivalent, or
nearly so, Of the leaf CT the white mul-
berry. and is Il much cheaper product,
besides being available at all seasons
of the year. The fact however, that
the lettuce ard muib rry leaf are chem
ically nearly Identical does not by
any means prove that the silkwOrm
will thrive upon lettuce or that the
quality of the silk produced will equal
that produced on the natural food OF
the worm. We do not vet know
enough about the physiology of d.
gestiOn to say in advance what can OF
what cannot be done. Neither is it
certain that the natural period of pro-
ducing silk can be materially extended
or changed. 1t is the business Of ths
experiment station to find out such
things
There is no reason to doubt that in
any case strain Of silkworm can be
produced whose digestive apparatus
shall be adapted to a lettuce diet or
that by due process of selection a
good quality Of silk can finally be
produced in that way. Where the
outlook is so promising it is the duty
Of the experiment stations to investi-
gate. Comparatively few experiments
bring results of much economic i'm
portance. but some do bring such re-
suits and all contribute to the sum Of
human knowledge. Whether or not
the silk industry can be made CONNER
cially profitable in any country so
sparsely inhabited as California is un-
certain, but Professor WoOdworth's ex-
periments are certainly of impoI ince
to the industry and as such are worth
making whether the people of this
State derive immediate profit from
them or not.-San Francisco Chronicle

Tru.ts still in the Saddle.

The anthracit coal trust is ad-
vancing the price of coal again, though
it is reported to have mined and stored
some millions of tons more than can
be sold this year, and yet this trust
has such monopoly that it can put
up prices to almost any extent. Con-
gress, last winter, when the coal trust
was live issue. appropriated a spe-
cial fund of 100000 for the Depart
ment of Justice to use to prosecute
trusts. Congress also provided for a
number of extra assistant attorney
generals to prepare cases against the
trusts. Many months have elapsed
since this money and those attorneys
were placed at the disposal of the
administration, but no action has been
begun. though it IS possible some evil
dence may have been gathered. There
is ON file with the Attorney General
more than one case against trusts, pre-
pared by private enterprise, and one of
these, at least, that against the tObac-
co trust, has been on file for over two
years,>but 1t has reposed in the pigeon
hole of the department and even the
extra money and the extra help have
been unable to drag it into court.
Congress, on the recommendation of
the President, passed law for pub
licity of trust transactions and created
a new department with ample help to
investigate trusts. Not one trust has
yet had its doings exposed to the pub
lie gaze, though some months have
elapsed since Secretary Cortelyou re-
ceived his appointment, but hope
springs eternal in the human breast
and we live on, or at least will have
to be satisfied with it for a time

that the President acQuiesced in sup

The Offense that Miss Todd had COM

A fellow feeling made him wondrous
