BREED coLoRED sILKWoRMs
New Departure in the Industry by
Audacious Experimenters
Brings Fair Results.

Some audacious experiments have
been endeavoring to make the silk worm
spin colored silks. Primarily they were
endeavoring to ascertain ii the green
color of some natural silks is produced
in any way by the leaves upon which
the worms feed, but the work suggestes
the possibility of securing beautifully
tinted raw silks.
Several lots. of caterpillars were fed
from their birth upon leaves impreg-
mated with red dye. They ate their
livid meals without any show of repug-
nance, and soon began to take on red
dish tint throughout the body. When al
lowed to spin on freshly collected ma
tural branches these worms produced a
red-tinted silk, the whole cocoon pre-
senting beautiful red celebration. Ger
tain colors, notable blue, were not as
apparent in their effects and the worms
did not seem to relish the blue leaves
as well as the red ones.
One of the questions that naturally
presents itself to the inquiring mind is
whether selective breeding of such arti-
fically stained caterpillars would not re-
suit in a race in which the celebration be-
came permanent. The fact is clearly es-
tablished that the digestive tube has a
marked influence on the silk. AS a
French writer declares in green silks 1t
is the cholorphyl of the leaves that We
observe, and in yellow silks the pigment
comes directly from the mulberry leaves,
with which it is Identical.

GENERAL VIEW OF DALNY.

BOOM" but different in the respect that
the mushroom growth is the
work Of a government which is
determined to build itself metropolis
complete in every detail. Another
power" he wrote, would have been
content to build its railway and begin
the harbor tentatively, and let trade do
the rest. Not so Russia. Dalny is to
spring into the world full-grown and
armed at every point, Minerva-like,
from the brains of the Russian Jove
The harbor, which has to be constructed
at enormous expense, by filling and
dredging the bay by the square mile,
with moles and breakwaters and dry
docks, is to be capable of accommodate
ing the largest ships afioat alongside it's
wharves, and will eventually take in all
the shipping which could be got to-
gether at any time in the east. The sea
front and warehouses are to- stand on
ground which was in 1901 under the
water at low tide. The administrative
portion of the town is already in exist
ence. When we examined the plan of
the harbor two years ago it seemed al
most chimerical, so immense was the
work mapped out for the contractors.
To-day the plan is realized, and only the
shipping is wanted. Dalny is, after all,
the best, If not the only, place which
could have been selected. Apart from
the Trans-Siberian railway, Dalny has
great Importance as the future port of
Manchuria. Dalny has a great future
before it." The predictions of Mr..
Whigham made in 1901 have been amply
fulfilled, and Dalny is in many respects
amodel town. The Russians began their
building operations in 1900, when sew
eral Chinese villages standing on the
site were demolished. Then the town
gradually began to take shape. The

REEDS SAVE SUEZ BANKS,
Nature, Aided by Natural Bulwarks
Preserves the Great Arti-
fetal Waterway.

When the Suez canal was first con-
templated there were many misgivings
as to the possibility of preventing the
sand from filing up the channel and
many suggestions were made as to the
best means of preserving the integrity
of the banks. But it has been discovered
that nature has provided the most ef-
ficient means of protecting the water
way from injury, and better one than
the sun-burned brick or sandstone in
use along certain parts of the canal.
This natural safeguard is a fringe of
reeds, which grows thickly on the Afri-
can side below Ismailia. The Suez Canal
company is making an attempt to raise
these reeds for transplanting to other
places, but the difficulty is that they
must be reared in fresh water, although
in after life they readily adapt them
selves to salt waters.
On the Asiatic shore of the canal no
fresh water is procurable, but the diff
ficulty should not be insuperable, and
then the Suez canal will grow its own
embankment. When this time shall have
come a waving green bulwark of reeds
will mark both banks of the great ship
canal.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
MANY AMERICANS TO ENJOY
DANGEROUS SPORT IN ALPS.
Best Guides Already Engaged to Take
Adventurous Parties Up to
the Lofty Peaks-The
Climbing Foot.

The picturesque, the lofty, the awful
Alps prove a perpetual fascination for
the daring and venturesome. The snow
crowned peaks challenge the climber,
and the climber faces fatigue, and dan
ger and death often in order that the
proud peaks head may become foot
stool and the vantage point from which
the surrounding peaks and country may
be viewed. The Americans have long
since learned to love the Swiss scenery,
to hunger for the invigorating mountain
air, to be eager for the thrill of the rocky
ascent and the graphing with the perils
Of snow-covered slopes and treacherous
glaciers. This year bids fair to see
Switzerland alive with Americans. Snow
has already disappeared below the 5000
foot mark. The best of the mountain
guides have already been engaged for the
season by well-known climbers, and
their trial will mark all of the lesser and
greater peaks even perhaps to the muir
derous Matterhorn, which has claimed
more victims than any other Alpine
height.
To one who has never scaled the dizzy
heights and looked out upon the marvel
GUS scenery which lies spread out before
him, there is slight conception Of the
thrilling experience. An Englishman
who had climbed to the ridge of Mis-
chabel, whose dome is II, 1888 feet high,
speaks of it as wonderful, past all
whooping, beautiful beyond all descrip-
tion." From the lofty lookout could
be seen the Italian lakes. Mountain
ranges in Tyrol could be seen stretching
out their rugged lengths and.whst looked
like huge levels of snow were really
clouds. Off in another direction could be

One of the members of the Alpine club
tells of a rare sight which he beheld
when he had reached the summit Of the
Weisshorn, $4,000 feet above the level OF
the sea. Dawn was lighting the peaks
around, a dense black cloud appeared
over Italy slowly moving towards the
Matterhorn; lightning came flashing out
of it every few seconds. 1t was strange
sight to witness the storm cloud bursting
over distant land, while all about us the
sky was clear and the stars were seen

George Wherry devotes a chapter to
THE Climbing Foot" He makes care
full comparisons of the feet of the guides
and those of the amateur. The former
is able to make sharper angle between
the foot and the leg than the latter. 1t
has often been noticed in mountaineer-
ing that a. guide can 60 face forward and
whole-footed up a'slope, while the anna
teur following, and coming to the steep
part, cannot plant his whole foot upon
the slope. but has to 60 on his toes or
else turn sideways. In the guide who hes
climbed from childhood the angle made
by the foot is more acute, and there is I'M
doubtedly some structural difference.
both hereditary and acquired, permitting
more freedom of movement at the ankle
joint.
The three great dangers to be en-
countered by the climber in the Alps
are bad weather, when electrical storms
on the SUBMITS are apt to be fatal; fall
ing stones, and steep grass slopes. These
last look so easy and are so treacherous,
that it is scarcely possible to secure for
them the respect which they have dead

of them up he was astonished at it's
