Talks to the Little Folks about Insects
no. 3.-THE FLY.-CoSTINgEp.

DEAR CHILDREN: Let us continue our
talks about the fly, an interesting fellow in
spite of his uubIushing impudence. We
have already spoken of his eyes and feet, but
We cannot omit the breathing organs and
wings, which equally proclaim
Wisdom beyond thought and power divine. y
In man there is great central air rescr-
voir called The lungs, to which the blood Is
brought by meals of arteries or blood YES
sells to be oxygenated In the fly this sys.
TEN is reversed and the air is conducted by
tubes or air veins to the blood fountain.-
The air vessels in the fly answer 10 the blood
vessels in man. These air tubes in the fly
are of the most exquisite workmanship, uu
surpassed in animal mechanism, as bcan'i-
tul in their design as in their structure. Let
US examine them moment. The mouths
Of these air vessels are arranged along the
sides of the insects body and have fine net
work coverings like sieve, which admit the
air but exclude the moisture and dust, either
Of which would, if admitted, imperi! the in
scct'S life. In creature SO small us the fly,
the orihces cannot be dscerncd by the naked
eye. Bat if you will examine tomato or
silk worm, you will see at regular intervals
,taall dots arranged along ito side, like port
holes in Il man-of-war ship. And if you will
patiently watch these dots You will see them
open and shut at regular intervals. This
movement is caused hT the respiration or
breathing Of the insect, and is similar 10 the
depression and swelling cf the breast Of man
when Re takes the atmosphere into lis lungs.
There arc many Of these dots Or air mouths,
ard through these the air enters IS it does
through your no>tTis. Then from these
large tube trunks other. make off rs branches
from The trunk of 4 tree, conducting the air
10 every part of the irlSect'S body. These
cir tubes, elegantly constructed, and bca1,i-
ful beyond description, are composed Of two
dclic.tc membranes, between the outer and
inner surfaces Of which is inserted an elastic
spiral thread or wire, which passing along
the entire lcpgth Of the tubes, prevent their
collapaing, 2 calsNity as fatal 10 the insect
as 4 cord tied tightly around your neck would
be fatal to you, causing sufocation. The
hoop-skirt between the under garments Of 4
lady's dress, or the spiral wire Of glass
tube, will give you some idea Of the elasticity
of the air tubes i'll ilIc body Of the fly. Thus
the great Creator provides for the comfort,
the safety and tie happiness of the smallest
insect. You need not fear, therefore, that he
will be unmindful Of you, who are so much
better than NY, UNCLE JOHN.
