China. For thousands of years the
Chinese would not allow the eggs of
the silkworm to go out Of the country.
About $50, two monks are said to have
brought to Europe few eggs hidden
In their canes. Now 1t is quite domes-
ticated and has been SO long fed by
man that the female is as nearly mo-
tionless as If she had no wings, and
the male merely fiutters without leav-
ing the ground.
