It is oniy recently that science has come to understand fully the service which the earth worm—the humble creature which some Anicrican boys call the “angle worm,” and economy of the world. It is now known, says Youth’s Companion, that burrowing steadily in the earth, it does valuable work for agriculture. The little holes which he-makes let in the air and light to damp places, and conduct, to the roots of the plants the, leaf mold and surface acabout the same time} so asto be pre* sent at Miss Hattie’s wedding.

But more than this, the worms bring to the surface the finely powdered earth which they consume in their burrowings and scatter it over the soil. Two earth worms, put in a glass vase eighteen inches in diameter, filled with sand, covered with dry leaves, managed first to sink the leaves entirely beneath the sand, and then to cover the sand with a thifi coating of of humus, or mold. All this was accomplished in six months. One earth-worn will bring to the surface . about seven grains avoirdupois of earth ina . day.
