sILK-woRM EGGS.
Agricultural Department is Giving
Them Away to All Who
Ask for Them.

the chief bug expert Of the Agricnl-
tural Department. has begun to
scatter the eggs of the Chinese silk
worm broadcast over the south.
They are sent through the mail done
up in small packages. Anybody
living south of Mason and Dixon's
line can get an assignment of these
eggs merely by writing to DR.. Ho-
ward and assuring him that there
is white mulberry tree on the
farm Of the writer
If the seeker of Chinese silk-worm
eggs has no white mulberry tree he
can get plant Of that valuable
species of the vegetable kingdom by
writing to the Chief OF the Forestry
Division Of the Agricultural Depart
ment. This official, Prof. Pinchot,
like DR.. Howard, has been instruct
ed by Secretary Wilson to supply
promptly every request made by
Tie farmers Of the south for the
means whereby they can begin the
culture Of siik-worms. The plants
have been brought over by the tens
of thousands from France and Italy.
The Chinese silk-worm is
domesticated animal and refuses to
eat the leaves Of our mulberry trees.
Its taste for the white variety is the
result Of more than 1000 years
cultivation. Experiments at the
Agricultural Department under the
personal supervision of Secretary
Wilson have shown that when the
imported Chinese silk-worm makes
a meal on a leaf from a common
American mulberry tree one Of two
regretable results follow: The silk
worm either dies or the product Of
its mysterious loom is not silk. The
worm from China would bore his
way out of his silken cocoon, if he
had a chance and would futter
around just long enough to find his
mate. This color would be modest
drab, the Chinese worms cocoon is
so valuable for its silk that few of
its kind are permitted to merge from
the crysalis state How they are
killed in China and those parts of
Europe where silk culture is carried
on successfully is not known.
Secretary Wilson has devised his
own means of checking the develop
ment of the worm in the crysalis
stage. He puts cocoons in an air
tight box 'and then pours a half
ounce of bisulphide of carbon in
the box. This does the business.
The creature that is then half worm
and half butterfly dies, and the
thousands of silken threads or
filaments ere then not cut by the
butterfly boring its way out through
the large end of the cocoon.
There are by the way, according
to Secretary Wilson's count, HOO
yards of silken threand in each
cocoon developed at the Agricultural
Department. This thread is about
the size of the thread spun by a
spider. Secretary Wilson believes
that the small farmers in the south
will find the culture of the Chinese
silk-worm profitable after they learn
how to dc it. Some of the white
mulberry plants that he scattered
through that part OF the country
three years ago are now large enough
to supply the necessary food to the
worm, and be is anxious for those
who h,.ve the trees to begin feeding
the worms. He is having prepared
a detailed description of how toll
treat the worms so as to get the best
results.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Anent your reference TO the possibilities
of Indianapolis having a coliseum some
day, / want to beg the originators and
large subscribers to not take themselves
too seriously. 1t was most liberal and
generous in them to begin the work with
pledging large sums each. But let them
bear in mind that fifteen years ago. when
Indianapolis people turned toward helping
themselves out of the natural gas dilemma.
the 100000 was not chiefly subscribed by
men pledging multiples of $1,000, but by
the scores who took $50 and 500 In other
words, more than two-thirds of the whole
raised by the numerous small
subscribers. The writer was in a COM
pany recently where a few thousand dol
lars was to be raised quickly, and 1t was
said that ii must come mainly from sub
scribers of large sums. The amount was
provided in an hour and the subscribers of
81 to So took nearly two-thirds of it, What
is wanted now is that some clear presenta-
ton of the coliseum project be made in a
tangible business way and the public will
do the rest If given a chance. indianapolis

The Man of Uz.

There was a man in the land Of Uz. and his
name was Jcb.-The Book of job 1, 1.
o ancient poet stand to-day
Ard hear your song through the centuries!
Upon what instrument did you play,
That you could charm in so many keys?
Who drew the curtains of time for you
That you might look through the throngine
years
And see the men that you saw and knew
Would live to-day, with their hopes and fears
What light had you in your dusty tent;
OR whence the voice Ger the olden plain
That all your dreamings in cadence blent
And made your fancyings not in vain?
Who held your hand you traced each word,
And what the power that babe you give
Your time and toll 10 the song you heard
The song that, marvellous still, shall live?
o ancient poet. or prophet-you
Who had no scepter or purple robe
kngly deed ii was yours to do,
To tell all men of the man named Job!
To show all that the flame called life
Is but taper of feeble CLEAN;
TO sound the hollowness Of our strife
And rouse the sleeper from out his dream.
We 90 not know if you sang afield
Or chanted low by the city wall,
But this we know. chat your song has pealed
With insistence of trumpet call;
That II is balm for the weary heart
soothing message, and comforting;
1t lifts the soul with its noble art
Q bard of old, even yet you singi
WHY need we bubble of name or date
When in your song You have pictured thus
The hearts and hopings of mean and great,
And left IL echcing on 10 us?
Each man may build him monument
of things he fashions, says, or does,
And all sufficient this call you sent:
''There was a man in the land of Uz!''

Plans have been completed in the engi-
neer's office of the Pennsylvania lines west
for the double tracking of the Ohio con-
Meeting bridge and of the approaches on
either side which form the VS. with the
tracks of the Panhandle and the Pittshurg,
Fort Wayne & Chicago On account of
the great length of the bridge, which is
nearly a mile, the cost of widening 1t will
be enormous and 1t is estimated that the
cost of improvements in the way of freight
yards and double trackage of the Us will
reach nearly $2000.000. The Importance Of
the step to the Pennsylvania Company is
easily recognized, it means largely in
creased facilities for transferring freight
from the Panhandle to the Fort Wayne and
thence to the West Pennsylvania eastward
and vice versa, without going through Pitts
burg. To make this possible large yards
are under construction at Scully's, on the
Panhandle, where the trains can be di-
vided and freight sent via Duff's branch
to the bridge On the north side of the river
the area of the to the Fort Wayne road
at Woods run has been double tracked and
the eastern branch is now being built.
