Experimenters Try Their Hand at

Some audacious experimenters have
been endeavoring to make the silk
worm spin colored silks. Primarily
they were endcavoring 20 ascertain II
the green color IT some natural silks
is produced In amy way by the leaves
upon which the worms iced, but the
work suggests the possibility of se-
curing 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 re-
pugnance, and soon began to take on
a reddish tint throughout the body.
When allowed to spin on freshly col
lected natural branches these worms
produced a red-tinted silk, the whole
cocoon presenting beautiful red col
Grafton. Certain colors. notably blue,
were not so apparent In their effects
and the worms did not seem to relish
the blue leaves as we'll as the red
ones.
One OF the questions that naturally
presents itself to the inquiring mind
is whether selectiye breeding Of such
artfcially stained caterpillars would
not result in race In which the color
alton became permanent. The fact
Is clearly established that the diges-
tive tube has marked influence on
the silk. AS French writer declares

the leaves that we observe, and In vel.

How to know her when you meet her?

You viii know her by her smiling,

BY the speech with which she melts YOU
By the qups with which she pets you,
BY the breath more sweet than posy.
BY the twin lips soft and rosy,
BY the eyes amazing tender.
BY the waist and ankles slender:
And to name no other feature,
BY the best in every creature.
If you find her, swift arraign her,
In the name of Love detain her;
Stay not. or she'll take your arrows,
Mount your car and drive your sparrows;
IL her sugared words you drink boy

Bring her then, with all her blisses
