Graduation of cochIneaI.

It is the opinion of Monseigneur
Leon Diguet, who has been studying
the state of the cochineal industry in
Mexico for some time, that before
many years have passed cochineal
scarlet will have become a thing OF
history only, like the Tyrian purple
OF antiquity. II is made from the
dried female OF the cochineal insect
(Coccus cactD. They are gathered by
brushing the branches OF the nopal
cactus, on which the insects feed. as
soon as they begin 10 lay their eggs.
They are then desiccated in ovens or
killed with boiling water. 1t has
been estimated that one pound OF
cochineal contains no fewer than TO-
900 distinct insects. The color is
brought out and fixed by chloride OF
tin. Only a few plantations Of the
nopal cactus now remain-hence the
fear that the dye will soon become a
thing of the past. at any rate. unless
some other substance Is found on
which TO feed the insects.
