Advocates m Costume W W TEM®, ° sht an 1}gOT 1130 ho Quick Change _ Garden Artists The days have gone when men found it easy â€" to believe stories of human beings changing itno wolves or ish and birds and all he srange meâ€" tamorphoses of the old legends and fairy tales. Yet all around us insects are making changes just as surprising al} day and every day. What could be less like a caterpillar ar grub than a butterfly or moth? The â€"aterpillar is an ugly, often repulsive reature with an enormous appetite, which crawls slowly along. The butterâ€" fy is the spirit of light and life, free a« air to fily to and fro and living »sually on a few sips of the juice of fowers. Yet every butterfly was a eaterpiliar once Cicadas are creatures of the sul-l shine, which "sing" through the hotâ€" test day, perched in some bush or! tree. Yet in their grub stage they spend long periods, years in some cases, in darkness underground. Many insects are truly amphibious. Like frogs they spend part of their lives in the water and part in the air. Such are the dragonâ€"fies, the mosâ€" quitoes, which the dragonâ€"flies eat, Mayâ€"fies and caddieâ€"flles, Like tadâ€" poles the larvae of dragonâ€"flles have Most of these insects prefer fresh water when in their laval form, but some mosquitoes breed in pools of sait water along the margin of the sea. There are also marine (or submarine) caddieâ€"fles, the larvae of which make eases out of Coraline seaweed, and are found in many places along the coast of Australia, ‘ Some insects, such as bees and ants, build up highly complex city civilizaâ€" tions. They have brought division of labor to a fine point, have wellâ€"marked social classes anc show wonderful inâ€" gonnity, resource and readiness to sacrifice themselves for the good of the community. in numbers and variety, of course, the insects easily surpass all the other inhabitants of the earth. The human popflation of the globe is still well under 2,000,4°3,000, but insects swarm in numbers past all reckoding. There are thousands o? thousands of them to By P. B. Priot, in "The Humane Pteader." st h t sometimes seen fying tOgeLNET iN thousands in upland districts. Most caddieâ€"worms live in fresh water streams and waterholes, but thei is a marine caddieâ€"worm which makes cases ovrt of odds and ends at the bottom of the sea. Dragonâ€"flles beve not much in comâ€" mon with cad ‘~Mies except their uoub life. T ~y, too, live in the water when young, and in the air in later life, when they bhave acquired Though dragonâ€"flles are sometimes ealled "horseâ€"stingers," they do not #ting horses, or anything else. They aro indeed very useful creatures, since they eat quantities of mosquitoes and other insect pests. e Many of the larvae of dragonâ€"flles breathe by means of gilis. Like the caddieworms they leave the water later, and fly about as winged insects. Some species of dragonâ€"fles are ax-' ceedingly swift of flight; in fact, it is claimed that they are the fastest inâ€" sects in the world. They dart up and down streams at tremendous speed. Pr. R. J. Tillyard, who wrote & book about dragonâ€"flies, devoted some Atâ€" tention to timing their fights, and eame to the conclusion that the inâ€" sect of one species can do nearly 60 miles an hour. There are many specios of birds that probably do not go as fast. & Some Australian dragonâ€"flles grow to a great size. One of them, found in mountain country in New South Wales, measured 614 iches across the wings, and is one of the largest dragâ€" onâ€"flles in the world. s Ottawaâ€"Apparently choosing . for themselves the role of vanguard to the trade delegation . for South America, a party of Canadian bawks recently made a trip to Argontina.
