A knowledge of tho cgg-Iaylng

ple moro careful about leaving recep
tacles containing water uncovered and
unprotected. Normally It appears to
be tho custom to lay eggs on tho Hides
of any placo contnlnlng water just
abovo tho surface of tho wnter, so thnt
a slight elevation of tho water will
submorgo them. Thoy havo been
found upon a leaf floating upon tho
water. Tho eggs aro small and black
In color. Ab has been stated, thoy aro
ordinarily laid abovo tho margin of
tho water and hero thoy may remain
dry for long periods, hatching when
reached by the water. Thoy dovolop
bettor after having been dry for somo
time. In fact, It scorns that thoy will
preserve their vitality for six months
or oven longer. Freezing does not do
stroy tho fertility of tho eggs. Tho
duration of tho egg state, when tho
eggs aro laid upon tho water, Is about
two days. When, deposited abovo tho
