Show A Champion Leaper. A membeV of the London Zoological Zoologi-cal society, during a visit to the Malay peninsula, discovered a curious Insert, called the lantern fly, which makes great leaps without the aid of its wings. It was some time before he .could find out where its leaping power lies, but he at last discovered a queer projection on the front of its head, like a nose, and this it bends back under the abdomen, and then suddenly releases re-leases it, the effect being like that of a springboard. |
