"Oh, oh!" said Muffie, jumping with joy, "may we go up and play with them now?" "Look here," said Hugh, "I protest. This is too staggering. I may not know as much of medicine as this Charlie and Graham you speak of, but I do know a germ's got to be incubated.
Let us assume, for the moment, that the action of each impregnate germ is due to memory, which, as it were, pulsates anew in each succeeding generation, so that immediately on impregnation, the germ's memory reverts to the last occasion on which it was in a like condition, and recognising the position, is at no loss what to do.
There remain the germ's respiratory requirements. To satisfy these, the insect has been equally well-inspired. The neck of the calabash is pierced, in the direction of its axis, with a tiny channel which would admit at most the slenderest of straws. Inside, this conduit opens at the top of the dome of the hatching-chamber; outside, at the tip of the nipple, it spreads into a wide mouth.
