Cochineal Insects.

Before many years cochineal scarlet
will have become a thing of history
only, like the Tyrian purple of antiqui
ty. That is the conclusion of NJ. Leon
Diguet, who has been studying the
state of the cochineal industry in Mex
leo. The first specimens Of cochineal
were taken to Europe by the Spanish
adventures In the sixteenth century.
The Indians had cultivated the coccus
cacti, from which the color is derived
in pre-Columbian times, and after the
Spanish conquest the industry devel-
oped rapidly. The city of Oaxaca was
the center of the cochineal country In
the days of Humboldt, but only a few
plantations of the nopal cactus, on
which the insects are fed, now remain.
The female insects only are used to
form a dye. and they are gathered by
brushing the branches of the nOpal as
oon as they begin to lay their eggs.
They are then desiccated in ovens or
killed with boiling water.
