SILK WORM HARD WORKER
Goes Through Immense Number OF
EvcIutions In Unwindlng Its
Product From Its Body.

The silk worm is just a caterpillar
after all, but a special Kind o. cater
pillar which develops c%uriously. 1t Is
very small when first Matched from the
egg, and grows so rapidly that 1t
changes it's skin, or mouths, four times
in the eight weeks which are required
for attaining full growth. about three
inches in length. Then 1t stops eating
and looks for a good place In which 1t
may alter into a butterfly. 1t raises
it's head and forelegs and climbs up
whatever 1t Ome across. Finding
what seems suitable, usually a twig of
a tree, It attaches itself to the twig
with a rough tangled fibre, termed ire
fuse silk" Then 1t begins to unwind a
long, continuous thread Of silk, NOV
ing its head from side to side, and
bending 1t backward over Its body SO
that the silk Is wound all about itself,
forming an oval-shaped cocoon, which
when completed Is about the size Of a
pigeons egg.
The silk in a single cocoon is some
400 feet or more in length. In doing
its wonderful weaving the silk worm
makes a movement covering 1915 of
an inch every second. Knowing the
length Of the thread, 1t follows that
the worm moves its head 100000
times in weaving its cocoon.

were densely crowded, but as we got
higher this close growth gave place
to more open forest with here and
there a great dead tree standing gaunt
and white in the sunlight against the
dark foliage Of the living trees. Final
ly, up near the rocky crest of the
mountain, young trees are compare
lively scarce, and along the ridges
near the summit there are many
groups Of fine stately trees. Here, at
a height of nearly 1000 Feet, snow was
still lying at the time Of our visit In
April.
Many Killed by Great Drought.
A striking feature of the Touggour
forest is the number Of large dead
trees still standing. In fact, large
trees in full vigor without dead
branches are rare until the summit Is
reached. The great drought of 1876
1881 is said to have wrought havoc
with the cedar forests of Algeria, and
I suppose that these dead trees now
standing are witnesses of that time.
There is no doubt that cedar of the
Atlas and that Of Lebanon and Asia
Minor are only varieties Of the same
species, which now linger only in the
mountains of northwest Africa. Cy-
prus, Palestine and Asia Minor. The
deOdar of the Himalaya Is also a some
what more distinct variety Of the same
species.
Tho coottnrnI nn1Apsnc nf Tho pn1aNu
have given rise to the hypothesis that
the Atlas mountains were once cOntin-
uous across the Mediterranean with
the mountains of Cyprus. and that the
cedar, together with certain other
plants. used this land bridge for its
extension from the east to the west.
1t is more probable, however, that the
cedar Is an ancient species which
once occupied mountainous regions all
around the Mediterranean when the
climate was colder than it Is now and
it was able to live below its present
limit of height. It has died out in the
intermediate regions ever as 1t now
seems to be dying out in Palestine.
There seems to be no fear Of any
diminution Of the forest near Batna
Under present conditions judging from
the profusion of vigorous young trees
on the lower slopes. I did not special
ly look for young seedlings, but found
a number Of cones lying about from
one of which I have raised a number
Of seedlings. The comparative rarity
Of young trees on the higher slopes
where the melting of the winter SHOWS
must provide sufficient water In the
summer is striking and to me mex
plicable.
