Why Maguey Blooms Are Rare. A maguey plant in bloom 1s a sight one seldom sees in Mexlico, for the reason that the stem s cut at its base and bhollowed out, and the sap that would have gone luto the flower Is collected and converted into that evil smelllng, crimlnal maklng concoction called pulque. When the sap gathers —at the rate of ten to fifteen pints a day—peons pass from plant to plant and with thelr mouths to one end of a tube suck it up and then discharge It into coutalners made of pigskins, flung, saddlebags fashion, across the back of a uncurried donkey.

More remarkable arve the *“jumping cocoons™ found In South Africa. The cocoon 18 formed by the mother In- sect and Is very hard. The pupa when ready to emerge must cut its way out. The front of its head has a sharp, chisel-like edge. and by driving this agaiust the Inslde of the shell it grad- ually makes a hole. ‘T'he violent mo- tions of the pupa within cause the co coon to leap so that one has been se2n to spring out of a small glass tumbler Wonderful Hand Weaving In Mexico.
