mesh. The forming of the cocoons
usually requires five to six days.
Shut up within its little silk house,
the worm goes to sleep for the last
time; for, when the cocoons are COM
plete, they are removed, put on a
board or tray, and placed near slow
fire of wood or charcoal until the heat
destroys the worms. Then the
cocoons are dipped into boiling water,
removed, dried, and given to the girls
and women to unwind. Some of the
cocoons are preserved without being
subjected to heat, and in due time the
sleeping caterpillar, changed in to
moth, emerges from the cocoon.
After the cocoons are unwound
they are reeled and twisted together
into a single strand large enough for
weaving.
Up to within the last ten to fifteen
years most of the raw silk produced
in Japan was sent to other countries
tor weaving, but now japan has FAC
tories of her own.
The English colonists who settled
Georgia brought the silkworms with
them, and sericulture soon became one
of the leading industries. When cot
ton became king of the south, it put
an end to the silk industry of that
section.
The silk industry of the United
States is now carried on principally
in New England. Patterson, N. j.,
however, has so many reels and looms
in operation it is known as "the Silk
City" and "the Lyons of America. "
In all there are over six hundred
active silk-mills in the United States.
Wonderful, isn't it, to think that all
these millions of pounds come from
the industry of the small creature
known to us as the silk caterpillar? ?

laid they are of pale yellowish color,
and look as though they had been
coated with varnish. Soon, however,
they change to a pale grayish color
ing, as though they had been sprinkled
with ashes.
When the Matching time comes, the
sheets of paper or the cards contain
ing the eggs are placed on shelves in
a room where the temperature is kept
between seventy and eighty degrees.
In China and Japan the heat is fur
nished by small braziers set about the
room, in which charcoal is kept aglow
day and night. Within a few days
the eggs begin to hatch into a squirm-
ing mass of tiny black worms, no
thicker than hair. These are lifted
up with chopsticks and placed on
trays or mats, which are kept on
frames, one above the other. The
tiny caterpillars are so frail that hand
ling with the fingers might bruise or
crush them.
At first the worms must be fed.
every hour on finely chopped null
berry leaves. The tiny threadlike
creatures grow amazingly fast and
their appetite is enormous. 1t has
been estimated that each little worm,
in the first three days of its life, eats
nearly hundred times its weight of
finely shredded mulberry leaves; and
in the next two days its appetite is
treblcd. As they grow Older the num-
Der of meals during the day grows
fortunately less and less, until when
the caterpillars are full-grown they
require only three or four meals a
day. The Chinese and japanese have
an odd way of estimating the age of
silkworms. They count it by the
number of meals they have eaten.
Thus instead of saying the caterpil-
lars are so many days old, they say
they are so many meals old.
During their larval existence, be-
fore attaining their full growth, the
caterpillars have sleeping periods, at
which times they mott or cast off their
skins. During these periods, which
are three to four days apart, their ap-
petites fail and they are left undis-
turbed and as free as possible from
noise. Generally there are four of
these sleeping or nolting periods, oc-
curing between the seventh and
twenty-third days. Awaking from
their last "sleep" on the twenty-third
day, the worm has now its final skin,
though it has not yet attained to its
full growth. That is reached on the
thirty-second day. 1t is then of a
deep amber color, two inches in
length and about as large around as
the first joint of mans little finger.
When the day of its maturity is
reached, the worm lifts up the fore
part of its body and assumes an al
most perpendicular position and waves
its head back and forth. This is the
signal that it is ready to begin to spin.
As soon as the worms give the sign,
they are placed on punches of straw
or of twigs to which they attach them
selves. They eat no more, but be-
come ceaseless toilers. The silkworm
spins from the mouth a continuous
thread, attaching it to the straw or the
twigs on which it rests, gradually en-
veloping its own body in the silken

FOREST PRESERVATION
By Mr.. M. Y. H.

MILLIONS of dollars are spent
annually by our government in
the care and preservation of the
National forests. The forest fires
alone is problem which has caused
grave concern for years and must be
given considerable attention. Thou
sands of acres of valuable timber land
are laid waste each year by fire.
These fires are caused oftentimes by
the suns rays radiating through bits
of broken glass, camp fires not being
entirely extinguished, etc.
Montana and Northern Idaho
especially experience nearly every
year a rigid dry season, particularly
in the early fall and latter summer.
1t is in this period that there is scarce
drop of rainfall in these mentioned
states, and being SO dry the dropping
of lighted match in the woods could
ingnite the entire surrounding region.
The government this year has taken
a decidedly important step to cope
with this fire menace by installing the
aeroplane patrol system to take the
place of the lookout station as in the
past. This means is proving most
effective because of the ability of the
pilots to locate fires which would not
be visible to the closest lookout sta
ton. / may state that these planes
are spiloted by ex-army Aiers of the
A. E. F.
Being at one time government
ranger in the Bitter Root National
Forest of Northern Idaho | am able
to describe, to a certain extent, the
means by which the situation is
handled. As soon as a report is sent
into headquarters regarding serious
fire together with the exact location,
ETC., no delay is made in issuing
hurried call for men and owing to the
high rate of compensation paid the
securing of men is not difficult. The
journey to the scene of the fire is
made by train to the closest town,
thence by auto as far as possible, the
last of the trip being made by foot
over the mountain trails. 1t often re-
quires three or four days of hiking
and camp is made by some stream
each night along the way.
Fish and game are in abundance
owing to the fact that fishing and
hunting are not allowed on the re-
serves. 1t is part of the rangers duties
to see that these laws are upheld. In
winter and summer the ranger may be
found somewheres on the trail.
The only practical or effective
method of combating a forest fire is
that of clearing a space entirely
around the burning area, and the
patroling of this space night and day
to prevent the fire from jumping over.
In this way it will gradually burn
out. This is the method, and the
only method, a forest conhagration
can be checked and brought under
control. Often times the fire will
burn over the line, necessitating the
clearing of new space and it is not
uncommon that five or six new lines
around the fire have to be made be-
fore the fire is checked. page 8, Col. 81

THE MAKING OF SILK
By Il. M. Barnes in The Girls World

By Il. M. Barnes in The Girls World
II HE Chinese are credited with be-
ing the first to engage in the art
of silk-making. The industry
was known there hundreds of years
before the birth of Christ. Its dis
coverer, according to the Chinese ac-
count, was Se-ling-she, the wife of
famous emperor, Hwang-te. The
empress devoted herself personally to
the cultivation of the mulberry tree
and the care of silkworns. She is al
so credited by the Chinese with the in
vention of the loom. They designate
her as "the goddess of the silkworm."
From having originated in the royal
palace the industry was considered
most honorable one, and many of the
families Of the mobiles engaged in it.
So long as China remained an en-
pire there was held each year in April,
at the beginning of the Matching sea
son of the silkworms, a festival. The
empress, attended by the ladies of the
court, visited the mulberry grove of
the palace, selected a number of the
tenderest leaves, placed them in a
basket holding young silkworms, and
thus started the first Matching of the
season. Then amid scenes of festivity
gifts bestowed by the empress were
given to those who had been the most
successful in the rearing of the silk
worms during the past season.
Some Buddhist monks, it is said,
carried the secret of sericulture, the
art of obtaining silk from the rearing
of the silkworm, to Korea, and from
there it reached Japan. The latter
country to-day ranks second to China
in the export of raw silk. Up to the
time of the beginning of the World
War Japan was annually exporting
to other countries, principally to the
United States, $30,000,000 to $685.
100000 worth of raw silk.
The mulberry tree grows wild and
luxuriantly in. Japan. Thus raw silk
is produced in almost every section of
the empire. There are silk districts
and silk villages where almost every
house is silkworm nursery. Usually
the whole family takes part in the
care of the worms. The children
gather the leaves, the young girls feed
the worms, while the older people
wind and spin, and sometimes weave
the silk into handkerchiefs or breaths
of shining cloth. 1t is a busy time
for the silk-raisers when the worms
are growing. They require such un-
remitting attention that the least
Stacking of vigilance often brings SER
ious results.
The silkworns, or rather it should
be said the silk caterpillars-for the
latter passes on to winged life, while
the worm does not-the silk-caterpil-
lars come from eggs laid by the fe-
male moths. The eggs are deposited
on sheets of coarse paper or of card
board, prepared by silk-raisers. Some
times rows of cunning little nests are
made thereon, and moth placed in
each. A single moth will often lay
four or five hundred eggs, no larger
than grain of mustard-seed. 1t
would take hundred or more OF
them to weigh a grain. When first

Egypt is now being resisted with
much the same bitterness and same
methods as the Irish resisted the
present administration in Ireland
The new year is expected to be
vital for the fortunes of the army and
navy. The present plan is 10 reduce
the army next year to virtually it's
pre-war basis. The navy is at a
critical stage. Experts upon whom
the country relied in the past, not
ably Baron Fisher. formerly first sea
lord. and Rear Admiral sir Percy
Scott are for scrapping the old es-
adjustment. They declare that big
battleships are obsolete. that sub
marines and aircraft have revolu-
tionized warfare and that submersi-
bles. and big submersibles, are the
only craft of the future.
Experts Skeptical.
Naval experts whose opinions COM
mand equal respect are skeptical
and say. "go slow" II is urged that
q country whose life depends upon
IS navy should not drop its old ma
chinery before the new has been
proved beyond reasonable doubt.

Seldom has the nation faced great
err or more various and difficult tasks
than the new year holds for Great
Britain. Yet the average man is
absorbed in one subject more than
all of the others together. This is
the cost OF living which has increas-
cd more in the past year than dur
ing he four years of war. and he
sees no turning point in sight. This
means that a large part of the popu-
Iation has TO readjust its scale OF
living and that a large section OF
the old "middle-class" is becoming
the new poor.
