Anatomy of tlio Silk Worm.
Assisted by the mioroscropo, tho inin-1
uto internal mechanism ot that utilized
worm has been perfectly demonstrated.
As soon as it is hatched a voracious ap
potito is manifested. This led men in
early, far-off times of oriental civiliza
tion, to-take advantage of their unsatis
fied hunger, to turn the product ot their
labors to the benefit of humanity.
The voracity of the silkworm has
reference to a law of their nature, on
which the perpetuity of the race de
pends. Nature is always careful to
make positive provision for the repro
duction of each and every species of liv
ing thing which has been created, till
the object of their existence has been
attained, when, for aught we know to
the contrary, they disappear forever,
like the lamented dodo, for which natur
alists are still in mourning.
Silk worms eat almost without cessa.
Crop rrospecta.
Tho past winter has been noted in
some sections for its few snows and their
thawing, in others for the great length

At that juncture silk worm culturists
say the worm dies as soon as it

idea. The worm does not die, but makes
rapid preparation for passing through a
remarkable metamorphosis, by develop'

are informed that the acreage planted
has been largely increased, and the ap

the South the reports are very favorable,
and new wheat has already made its ap

While such is the appearance ot the
crops in our own country there is a great
left to mature. And one who has not
tried this method can form no concep

two little glandular carbuncles smaller
than the smallest pin head, which pours
a secretion peculiar to themselves, which,
on mixing with the tiny current of
clear fluid from the' reservoirs, in a
twinkling of an eye changos it into a
tenacious silk thread. On ono side of
the glands the fluid is thin and trans
parent, on the other it is a strong fibre.
Probably its exit into the atmosphere
contributes something towards the conversion.
A more curious chemical phenomenon
has never been recognized. It has no
parallel in entomology, unless it is par
tially found in tho spider family, a sub
ject to be hereatter treated.
Spinning a cocoon, then, is Bimply
winding itself round and round in a sol t,
silken, flossy material extruded fro:u its
own body. The muscular apparatus by
which tho worm accomplishes that oper
ation would be a Btudy for a college
theme, and a puzzle for many big wigs.

or openings on each side, which corres

fat, equivalent to blubber under the
skin of a whalo, is absorbed for food
while the chunge is progressing. When
exhausted, the perfect butterfly is finish
ed stretches out its folded limbs, bursts
open the old dry outside worm covering,
crawls out of the cocoon and flits away
among the flowers, if not kept a prison
er. It is the policy of silk worm grow
ers to do so. The female soon begins to
extrude an immense volume of eggs.
ands of acres every year added to the
tillable soil tend to increase our aggre
gate product, though meteorological in
fluences may cause a decrease in one or
another particular section ; hence it is
safe to infer that eur wheat crop of this
vear will not tall below the last, though
its average cost of production per bushel
may bo greater. Through the intro
duction of the steam plough, and the
concentration of energy and capital
upon large farms, may bo effected the
production of greater quantities of
wheat per acre at a less price per bushel j
and at the same time greater exemption
be attained from the effects of severe
weather.
It is a well ascertained fact that the
iiuutint of rainfall in tho month of May
directly influences the quantity of tho
hay crop. Whether tho lateness of tho
season this year will allow the rains ot
early June to go to tho credit of May
can only be told when tho crop is gath
ered. At present the indications are
that the crop of hay will not exceed
that of 1371. At the same time, as dur

quality will bo better than it there had

Tho accounts which reach us of tho

Thus an humble, unsightly worm is
an instrument in the hands of man for
clothing queens and furnishing gorgeous
hangings for palaces. It is one of the
links in the golden chain of nature
which demonstrates the mutual depend

characterize the highest grade of. civili

Origin of Amber.
Professor Zaddach shows that tho
trees which yielded the amber must
have grown mpon the green-sand beds
of tho Cretaceous .Period, nourishing
luxuriantly on the marshy coast which
then surrounded the great continent of
Northern JSurope. Probably the tern
perature was then much higher than it
is now ; and this even at that epoch ex
tended to the now frost-bound Arctic
regions, a fact which has been proved
by the remarkable plant-remains of
temperate climes which have been re
cently discovered there. The amber
flora of the Baltic area under review
contains northorn forms associated with
plants of more temperate zones; and
thus camphor trees (Cinnamomttm) occur
with willows, birches, beech and nu
merous oaks. A species of Thuya, very
similar to the American Thuya occiden-
talis, is the most abundant tree amongst
the coulters ; next in abundance, id-
dringtouia, a great variety of pines and
lirs, including the amber pine : thous
ands of these, it is supposed by the pro
fessor, might have perished ; and while
the wood decayed, the rosin with which
the stem ana branches were loaded

The truit crop ot this v ear will hardly

chose for their adventures had tho ad

man was crossing that piece of waste
land a thort timo ago, when he was sur
prised to see smoke issuing from a hole
in tho ground, and to hear juvonilo

to a sort of cavern, the opening of which
had been concealed by brushwood, and,
continuing his search, disturbed tho
young truants just as they were prepar
