An Account of an Experiment lately made in France, to know iff tt
'worms would live there and work, to ad vantage, in the cfca air.
From the Memoirs Je Frenjoux for September, 1762.
TO know jf silk-worms were as sensible of the injuries
of the weather, as the author of the Speelacle of nature ,
or NatureDifplayed, imagine’ they are [tern, i.) about twelve
hundred ot tnefe infers, just past their firft moulting, were
placed, the fifteenth of April, 1761,00 fome espalier mul
berry-trees, bread high. Here they remained, exposed to
all the rigour of the season, which having being cold in the
beginning, and afterwards verv stormy, left scarce any
hopes of their doing well. Neither wind or rain, however,
obliged them to take ihelter under their rails of the cfpalier,
or the leaves of the tree. They endured every spurt ot all
this bad weather on ’hefamefpot where it fu'prifcd them,
just remaining motionless as long as it lasted : the florin pail
they began to move very briskly, devouring the
though wet with the rain, without any seeming concern.
Neither cold, moisture, heat, or thunder, made that iniprel
fion upon them which there was reason toexpeft they would.
Not one of them was attacked by any of these disorders du
ring which they are called fat worms, lean worms, \edovt
worms, ijc. They always continued exceedingly white-
T heir moulting, indeed, was later and longer than it gene
rally is, when they are kept within doors, but free from **
ny bad conferences.
