WORMS TRAINED TO
EAT HOLES

PEAR ANTE OF ANCIENT.
(By Associated Press)
PARIS. Jan. 27.1 Trained worms
instead of buckshot are now being
used by certain manufacturers of an-
tique furniture In order to give it (he
venerable aspect brought by age. and
decay in the rare old product.
The new departure in this industry
is due to the ingenuity of a garden-
er living near Dijon. Noting . that
certain wood worms which had been
killing his trees reproduced wit'i
rapidity he has gone into the busi-
ness of selling thorn lo antique deal-
era. Before delivery he trains the
worms to the work required so that
the furnitura maker has only to turn
them loose in an empty room save for
.the new furniture and the hungry
worms proceed to bore holes in. the
surface of the wood. When the furn-
iture has the number of holes
thought necessary the worms are
coaxed out of the wood and turned
loose onmore new furniture.
This' holed appearance was form-
erly obtained hy firing buckshot into
the furniture . and then gauging out
the shot. '
