Whera Nature is Cruel.

The sphex wasp is assisted by ns- ture to an act that seems as cruel thing as if invented by man. When 1t is time for the wasp to lay it's eggs it flies about until it finds a caterpillar. and then proceeds 10 sting it. The wasp's dart is thrust into the body at random until movement ceases. the venom being carried by the convulsivs jerks of the unhappy worm through it's body until the nerve centers are touched. It then becomes motionless, and the wasp proceeds to deposit it's eggs.
 Death has not come to the caterpiI- lar. and it continues its motionless ex- istence until the larvae are born. and is still helpless when the young wagps proceed. to eat him bit by bit. The venom of the wasp not only makes him helpless, but in addition forms a preservative so that in case of death the body remains firm and still fur uishes food for the baby larvae Ca terpillars have been known 10 continue in this life-death for ten to fifteen days before decomposition sets in.-- Detroit News

DISPLAYING ARTIFICIAL' SILK
 MADE IN NORWICH MILL

An interesting display of artificial silk, manufactured at Matthewson Mills by the Tenue-Silk Mills Co.,, Inc. of Nor Wich, is made in the Boston. Store win dow. J. F. Cooley is president of the company. ~~
 The mill is now producing artificial silk surpassing all it's former .expecta tions and excelling all other forms of artificial silk in a marked degree. placing it in class of desirabilitY and price midway between standard artificial silk and natural silk. In this the mill owners say they are sustanied by large silk users of New York now in possession of the yarn.
 Points of superiority claimed for this Norwich artificial silk are natural silk fineness of strands, clear and unbroken of any length, double the strength of for mer artificial silk, equal to natural silk in elasticity. is not weakened by moisture and greater luster.
 Markets formerly closed to artificial silk that are now open to this Norwich product are hand sewing thread, embroid- cry floss, velyets. velour yelling, machine sewing thread, laces plushes. artificial furs and nets.
