Caterpillar Tai1ors

A MONG the animal cothiers are the smooth
caterpillars. Naked and unarmed their
extreme vulnerability places them at the
mercy of numerous enemies; but many
families of them remarkable for making
little sheaths of garments for the protection
of their bodies. notably the silkworm, than
whom the lilies of the field not more
gorgeously arrayed. Ordinary plebelan cater
pillars. such as are native to country, how
ever. show ready adaptabiity to the cir-
cumstances surrounding them and utilize
whatever material there may be at hand.
Thus the leaf jewellers garb themselves like
wood fairies in leafy apparel; those which
camp on our old coats rob Peter to pay Paul,
wooden wrappers; while those born to the err
mine luxuriate in robes of fur. The strangest
clothiers of all. however, are several Larvae of
caddis flies whose garments composed of
shells, often with the living occupants still in
side. Fastening number of these round the
body. the Larvae drag them about at pleasure,
and, as Reaumur remarks, it is covering as
singular as though savage, instead OF clothing
himself with skins, should make garment of
living minks or other small animals.
AS we have seen, the arts and crafts of ami
mails nearly always directed toward pro-
viding shelter protection for themselves or
their progeny, storing food, capturing prey;
just as with the primitive races of the earth,
and is still the case with some savage peo-
piles to-day. But the interesting observation
remains that dull vision when sharpened
to keener sense may learn many valuable
lessons from the lower animals, not only in the
arts and crafts, but in economy, industry, gov
eminent, and other premier virtues of which
man boasts himself as the supreme possessor.

skilful in their craft are the Agenias that they
are surpassed by few, if any, workers IN clay.
The pots they fashion are delicate and SYM
metrlcal, like the pieces of tiny china set.
.Agen1d pnnctnm fashions tiny oval jardinieres,
while A genid hydhpennis shapes its ware in the
form of primitive drinking cup. But it is not
alone in the graceful curves of their fragile
vessels that these potters display their genius,
but in glazing. The inner as well as the outer
surface is carefully fooled, and the vessel is
made thoroughly water tight. This glazing IS
done by spreading their waterproofng material
in a thin film over the inside of the vessel lust
our common earthenware is glazed inside
while the outer surface is left in its original
pears to be solely to catch and contain water tor
drinking in periods of drought
Paper making has been spoken Of The in
on this industry long before it was invented
by man, and the paper they produce will bear
comparison in many respects with our own
weaves: for they know equally well how to
make blotting paper and that which Is rem
dered tougher and less porous by means OF
size. When so placed as to be sheltered from
the rain, their paper is simply composed OF
wood fiber reduced to pulp On the other
hand, where it is subject to exposure the
wasps cover it with protective varnish. or.
in other words. give it coat of size This
paper will carry ink and is superior to many
of our own papers in that it sheds. instead of
absorbing water. Indeed, many wasp
families practise this industry that they have
raised it to the level of a national art. But
they have monopoly as it is carried on also
by the ter1nites, or white ants, common IN
South Africa and other parts of the globe.

Potters and Paper Makers

however, are many animal potters, paper
manufacturers, tailors, and cigar makers. One
may well appear incredulous at these designa-
tons. But suppose we visit an Agenia pottery
wherein work fragile creatures no larger than

tentious like so many good workmen yet so

Sounded Like Swearing

A I dinner at Smaleys we met Herbert
Spencer. AT a large luncheon party at Lord
Houghton's we met Sir Arthur Helps, who was
a celebrity of world wide fame at the time,
but IS quite forgotten now. Lord Elcho,
large, vigorous man, sat at some distance down
the table. He was talking earnestly about
Godalming 1t was a deep and flowing and
unarticulated rumble; but got the Goda1ming
pretty clearly every time it broke free of the
rumble. and as all the strength was on the first
end OF the word it startled me every time be-
cause it sounded so like swearing. In the
middle of the luncheon Lady Houghton rose,
remarked to the guests on her right and on
her left in matter of fact way. Excuse me
l have an engagement" and without further
ceremony she went off to meet it. This would
have been doubtful etiquette in America.
Lord Houghton told number of delightful
stories. He told them in French, and / lost
nothing of them but the nubs.

Weather Bureau Observations.

To the Editor of the Agriculturist:
Last month I wrote to the Chief
of the Weather Bureau asking if the
recorded observations of temperature
at Florida points-more particularly
the minima not be made less
misleading to owners of groves and
gardens and intending settlers. In
nearly every case during the Christ
mas cold snap the weather bureau
minima, that is the lowest tempera-
lures, were about ten degrees higher
than the minima recorded by private
observers in the same localities
The Chiefs reply, printed below,
explains why these varying ground
temperatures, being very local, can
not be used in forecasting the weather,
but it ought to be generally under
stood that the real temperatures that
we have to contend with in Our
groves and gardens will usually, at
least in calm weather, be ten degrees
lower than the so-called "1ninima"
of the observation stations.

ington, D. c., January II, 1907.
Mr.. T. L. Mead, Oviedo, Florida
Dear Sir: In answer to your COM
munication of the 9TH instant, I will
say that experience has shown that,
when the wind velocity is not high,
variations in temperature of from ten
degrees to twenty degrees may be
found during almost any night in re-
gions that are close together, depend
ing on the composition and covering
of the soil, and the elevation of the
thermometer above the soil. In re-
porting the temperature of a place,
we could not use the many different
readings taken near the ground, so
we adopted the plan of placing our
instruments high enough to give us
readings that will show the average
temperature over the surrounding ter
ritory. Of course, we understand
that on a quiet night the minimum
temperature at places near Jackson
vile may be much lower than that in
the city, and at some places it may
be higher-all depending on local en-
vironment
Very truly yours,
Weller L. Moore,
