LONGEVITY FOR
LUJNARS

Propagation of giant moths by
artificial means was accomplished
for the first time by Mrs. Stella
Edward Kummings, of Marion,
Ind. collector and grower for
the past nine years, and reputed
to possess the largest assortment
of rare specimens in the Middle
West.
The feat was accomplished at
the instance of the Leo Meehan
company of Hollywood, now at
work at the Gene Stratton Porter
estate on exterior scenes for the
screen version of the Porter novel,
THE Harvester"
The lunar moth appears prom
1nently in the story, but since the
weat Their Is still too cold to cause
it to emerge naturally from the
cocoon a live specimen could only
be secured by the use of arti.
fetal heat. Mrs. Kummings kept
several cocoons for three days in
a closed box equipped with large
electric light bulbs, and the con.
tinued heat from these finally
accomplished the desired result.
Other specimens must be pro.
duced by similar means within
the next week, as the life OF the
lunar moth is only from three to
seven days.
