BIRTH OF A WING.
Evolution of the Aquatic Pupa Into the
Dragon Fly.

EVOLUTION OF tne Aquatic Fupa INV He
Dragon Fly.
SAYS writer in the Scientific Amer
lean: "A wonderful spectacle Is pre-
scented by the sudden apparition OF
an Insects wing at the completion OF
its metamorphosis. The transforma-
ton of the grub into the butterfly,
though familiar, is none the less amaz-
ing. but the evolution of the active and
gossamer winged dragon fly from its
ugly and sluggish aquatic pupa is still
more impressive, Early on May morn
ing the pupa energies from its cocoon
at the bottom Of a ditch, swims on Its
back by padding with its long haired
paws TO the stem of an aquatic plant
and climbs up out of the water. Then,
after a momentary pause. the skin
suddenly bursts open and the perfect
insect appears, with closely folded
wings. which soon unfold and assume
their final form.
THE older naturalists thought that
the insect swallowed air. with which
the wings were inflated. In reality
the air is absorbed in the digestive
organs. causing an increased blood
pressure, which mechanically expands
the wings. The presence OF dew Is
also necessary: hence the first flight Is
always made at dawn.
This spectacle of the birth of a
wing may be observed In dragon flies
reared in an aquarium, the atmos-
phere of which should be moistened
with an atomizer when the pupa rises
to the surface"

which have doubtless increased farm
values.
The fact that desirable free land
has practically disappeared, resulting
in an increase in the number Of buy
ers, and that this number has been
augmented by an Increased demand
for homes in the open country, has
caused an upward movement in val
ues. At the same time the owners
Of farm lands are less willing to sell
than formerly, appreciating as they
do the lower cost of living in tne
country as we'll as the growing I'M
portance Of land ownership. They

as well as place to work for Ii,
ing.
In connection with the increase in
the average value Of farm land, it is
interesting to note the fact that in
the past decade, AS for many decades
previously. there has been much
more rapid increase in urban than in
rural populations The population
classed by the census bureau as ur-
ban constituted 1853 per cent Of the
total in 1910 as compared with 40.5
per cent in 1900. In several states.
and in many counties in other states,
there has been an actual decrease in
rural population since 1900, and in
most areas where this is true there
has been a remarkable increase in
value OF farm land.
Buildings, Implements and Machinery
II is not alone farm land which has
increased in value. Farm buildings
valued in 1900 as sS.55e, $4,000 have
increased to $6.2s4, 1877 900 in 1910,
growth of II per cent Implements
and machinery show corresponding
but slightly less pronounced growth
in value. In 1900 they represented
s749,776.oOO and in 1910 81 l,262. 2.022, 900
an increase in value of 6S.3 per cent.
Ownership and Tenure
The total number Of farms operated
by owners including those owning
only part Of the land operated by then
was s,9Ss.7O5 in 1910, as compared
with S.e5s.s2S in 1900, an increase Of
2SO,382. The total number operated
in 1910 by tenants was 2.s49.254, as
against 2,O24,964 in 1900. an increase
OF 324.290. The number conducted by
hired managers was 57,39S in 1910
and 59,Os5 in 1900, a decrease Of l.

The farms operated by owners con-
