BUG A The Factory Where the Government ' V Makes Insects. .: The reason that the government tmilt its bug factory was that it wanted to raise insects, see how they lived, what they ate, how they changed in form, and find out what would finally destroy them. You can see how important all this information would be to a man who had every year been bothered by insects he could hardly see, and whose potatoes and ' strawberries were being eaten by a hungry army which 'paid nothing for.the feast. The men who watch these little creatures find lots of things to interest them, says Harper's Young People, and it takes away the weariness of their waiting. They find that marvelous changes often take place-ithe Some of them alter their insects. form so that you would not recognize them for the same insect. One will first be a short, thick fly, with sharp eyes, wings, and a minute feeler like an elephant's trunk, and. he will next be a worm without legs and no eyes. It is always an easy matter to find out what the bug is doing .and what will drive it away, but it is not always so easy to say where he comes from or how he happens to appear in certain , ' i n j places. The day I was in the insectary I saw a bug which had been found in California Dy a boy while eating boiled potatoes, and later his father found more potatoes in the cellar, which had been dug a short time before, also inhabited by this same worm. I was told that this worm had come all the way from China, probably, nobody knew how. Anyway, a member of th unwelcome tribe had reached the in sectary, and was a guest there. He was a famous bug, did he but know it, for he was to be carefully watched, and his everv action was to be noted in a book each day. He would re ceive as much attention as any great man probably more attention, for hardly any man has been closely watched every day of his life, as this Chinese bug will be. Never Fails. A man may sit in a street car and read a newspaper without attractiu the least attention, but the girl wh red a book is sure to become an of the greatest interest. For some reason every passenger in the car has a sudden and consuming curiosity to know the title of the book. Those nearest to her will look over her shoulders to see what she is reading, and those across the aisle will lean forward to catch a glimpse of the outside title. The only thing that will attract more attention in a street car than a girl reading a book is a fat g and baby. The average street car patron becomes a grinning simpleton in the presence of a smart baby. The negro minstrel used to tell about the man who sat in the street car and "She" was in his lap. y The young woman of may have 4The Heavenly Twins" in her lap, but whatever the title the other passengers are sure to find what it is. And they will form their opinion of her from the title of the book. Chiol-je- ct good-lookin- to-da- cago Record. Parrots Educated by Telephone.
