them. The entire cocoon was of a
beautiful d.fTo prevent the silk from
being soiled by contact with the color
ing matter on the leaves or by the skin
of the worms, which might have been
spotted by the dye, some of them (the
worms) were washed and placed on
freshly gathered branches where they
at once began to form cocoons as red
as the first lot.
The worms selected from the lot at
the fourth moulting duly 23) were fed
on colored leaves only during the fifth
period of life, and they rendered on
August 10, cocoons as red as those of
the first lot, in which the worms had
been fed on colored leaves during the
entire larval period. The absorption
of red during the last period is there
fore necessary and sufficient to color
the silk.
A fourth lot was composed Of worms
fed on methylene blue They ate this
with less avidity; and number, in
their efforts to escape this food, fell
| from the branches and were lost. They
formed their cocoons slowly and rem
dered but little silk, which was of a
slightly blush color
Another lot of worms, the Atticus
orizaba (this is a wild worm which
does not eat mulberry leaves, were
fed on leaves of the troene, a tree of
the olive family (Ligustrum sp.). These
leaves were dipped in solution of
picric acid. The well-known toxic
qualities of that coloring matter did
not prevent it from being eaten, but
the worms did not relish it keenly
and made no cocoons until Septem-
Der 4. Notwithstanding the color
ing power of picric acid the silk re-
manned white.
Thus we see that the neutral red
passes easily by osmosis through the
tissues, while methylene blue passes
with difficulty, and picric acid leaves
no trace of color.
From the investigations and expert
ments made, it is inferred that a color
ing matter may be passed from the di-
gestive tube through the blood upon
the silk. The coloring matter possesses
in different degree the power to cross
by osmosis the tissues of silkworms,
and each race of silkworms is charac-
terized by the osmotic power OF its It's
sues in relation to different coloring
matters, permitting the passage OF
some to the exclusion of others. This
explains the natural coloring Of tho
Lepidoptera.

girls were in the clubhouse assigned to
them, when the floor gave way, pre-
cipitating them into a stone walled
cesspool II feet deep and containing
four feet Of sewage. The frantic strug-
giles of those who were on Top kept at
least nine underdeath the mire until
they were dead. The frame shed over
the sewer was about 20 feet square
without windows, and had only one
narrow doorway, so that only one girl
escaped falling. She ran into the school
