Some plants are very accommodat- 0 lng to the Insects, but not voluntarily. ; instance, the oak and the willow. a and other variety of trees, grow gall* c that furnish homes for the yqung of < the Insects and store up a supply of < food thqt lasts until maturity. A nam- I ber of bymeoopterous Insects, or crea- ■ tores with membraneous wings, lay a their egga In the bark of trees. Wblla t depositing the egga they secret a tony f drop of poison with the ova. This liquid la the signal to the tree to hurry i and construct a gall. Several lay- f era of cells swell out of the tree, mak- I tug a comfortable cabin for the larTae < that will soon be hatched. But the • tree does more than this. It stores up « tn the lnalde of the gall a quantity of • starch, and the larvae now {tare ample food, until the day arrives when they ' will wing their way Into the world. 1 I 1 Joke Was an Artist.

Later on. however, he heard ' that the bote! proprietor had scored ' . heavily by having the caricature repro- ' , duced and selling thousands of copies ' ! of It at sixpence each. Phil Hay's drawing, figured also In the future on , the landlord's cards and circulars, and , proved a magnificent advertisement. i Oaatl Milk la Valuabla. i Milk from ^he goat has probably » been need for food purpose* ever since j the advent of the first "Hrs.
