Silent processes guide nature's slow growth and change
The quote notes that nature's grand processes occur quietly, with noise signaling destruction rather than growth. Earthquakes, tempests, and fires disrupt, while long geological periods, gradual life development, and igneous cooling reveal nature's steady, subtle voice to science.
Silk egg growers in Japan regulate output to steady prices
A Japanese meeting of silk worm egg purveyors in Yeddo agreed to limit deliveries this year to 1,500,000 boxes, with half kept for domestic use and half for export. Last year exports to Italy and France reached 1,300,000 boxes but only 700,000 sold, causing large losses. European worm disease mitigation and rising European silk production threaten Japanese profitability. Also noted: thirty four of Missouri’s fifty Episcopal churches and chapels have been built in seven years.
