Many clever caterpillars which dwell habitually in company build a common nest for the common benefit. Of these is the famous American tent caterpil- lar. The tents are really nests of silk Spun among leaves and twigs. in them the caterpillars dwell when young. and to them they resort for shelter in rainy weather even when larger grown. Al- lied species which pass through the winter in the caterpillar State con~ strurt Winter sleeping quarters which the bookish folk i-all hibernacnlmns. These are often conspicuous among the branches during the cold months or the year. If torn open they reveal a sur- prisingr thickness of spun silk. forming a dense nonconductive wall. At the center of the mass lie from thirty to fifty tightly packed caterpillars waiting for the return of the warm weather, when they will resume their feeding. “In this (-nnnertion we observe that your circular is printed by Messrs Blank Co We feel (-onfident that had you placed this order with us we could have quoted you rheaper and better terms than any other firm: (-on- sequently in the deplorable event of a future bereavement we trust that you will afford us an opportunity to make you an offer in this regard.”â€"Ex- change. “Gentlemenâ€"It is with deep regret that we learn by yuur circular of re cent date of the great loss sustained by your firm. and we respectfully beg to express our heartfelt sympathy.

They. may be seen almost any evening winging their study: flight often at a great elevation well out of range of a shotgun. The flying squirrels as evening twilight comes are also seen. They glide down from one lofty tree to the base of another, up which they scramble to the level they started from. Wide expansions of skin between the fore and hind limbs net in parm-hute fashion and sustain 'them in their glide. They are of some size. but are quite harmless. The flying lizard is seen in the heat of the day in the jungle gliding down with a flash in muvh the same manner as the squirrel.
