INSECT BREEDING 



Then stretcli a piece of calico over tlie saucer aud 

 paste it to the under-side, care being taken to 

 leave it sufficiently slack, so that, when dry, the 

 brass eyelet can be inserted, and fastened with 

 the ring at the reverse side of the saucer. (See 

 section of the saucer, fig. 1.) 



The portion of the eyelet which passes through 

 the hole must be cut in such a way that the 



edges will bend over and hold the ring. The 

 next thing to obtain is a glass cylinder,^ open at 

 both ends, over one end of which stretch fine 

 muslin and paste it to the edge of the glass. The 



1 Glass cylinders are merely glass shades with the 

 tops cut off, and doubtless could be obtained at most 

 ahops where such are sold.
