A new method by which silkwormi
may be cultured ten times a year in
stead Of twice, as at present, is re-
ported to have been perfected in
Alchi Ken, Japan, according to Con-
sui General G. H. Scidmore, Yoko-
hama. The method is very simple.
Egg cards are immersed in hydro
chloric acid for five to ten hours just
before they are Matched. In q fort
night or so after the immersion the
eggs r perfectly Matched and worms
that are stronger and more healthy
than those, that are Matched in any
other way may be seen coming out Of
the shells. The silk produced by the
worms thus Matched is better and
longer than that produced in any 9TH
or way. AS the inventor tells in one
of the Yokohama papers, the silk pro-
duced by the worms bred in the newly
invented way measures 1900 feet.
whereas the thread produced by
worms Matched in the ordinary way
measures only 100 feet at the long
est. The inventor further a y in the
paper in question that anyone may
make use of the new process. which,
although worthy of being fully pro-
tected, will not be patented because
the inventors sole desire is to
strengthen Japan's position es a silk.

Those who are i~nsuficiently clothed
by day or covered BY night can save
themselves from not ! little Of their
suffering by resort % : material 20
cheap and easily obtained that all can
have 1t in practically unlimited guam
titles. The protective material in Ques-
ton is paper in the form Of innumer-
able journals which, once read. are
usually thrown away or destroyed.
Newspapers make an excellent addi-
ton to thin blankets. and by the exer-
else of a little ingenuity they can be
invisibly bestowed about shivering
body in a way very appreciably to de-
crease d~iscomforts. The worth Of the
paper vests that are on sale in many
shops is familiar to many. but they are
most often worm. not for the lack OF
other clothing, but to avoid the putting
on Of enough of thai other clothing to
make an irksome burden. Anybody
can make out of two or three old
newspapers q vest as good, II not as
convenient, as the boughten ones. and
though these amateur productions
lack durability, they will serve through
an emergency and can be replaced as
often as may be desirable. The value
OF the paper as a protector from cold
is due. of course. to its being such q
poor conductor Of heat, a quality which
increases rapidly as layer is added to
layer. The best kind. for this purpose,
is fortunately that which is most
abundant-the one kind that a. be
had for the asking, or even for the
taking.

Up to the middle Of the nineteenth

nearly seven billion men had died in
battle since the beginning of re-
corded history, a number equal to al
most i've times the present estimated

How did the phrase "dog days"
originate? It had its origin in ignor-
ance and superstition. The ancient
Romans called the six or eight hot
test weeks Of summer "~caniculares
dies" According to their theory, the
dog star, OF Sirius, rising with the
sun, added to its heat, and the dog
days bore the combined heat of the
dog star and the sun. The time was
from July 3 to August II. Some make
the time to extend from July Is to
August 20, and others from July "a
to about September 1. Sirius, the
dog star, was SO called because it
was the bright star in the constella-
ton, CAMS major, or the greater dog.
