FREELY FLASHES.
The Method by Which the Insect Emits
ITS Beautiful Light,

The Method by Which the Insect Emits
ITS Beautiful Light,
By what process do fireflies produce
the beautiful flashes of Light" That is
a question frequently asked, and as en-
tomologieaI books fail TO give a salts
factory reply the following explanation
may be interesting:
have made a special study Of the
light, and carefully examined the mech
aHism OF the Illuminating segments IN
beth male and female specimens The
light emitted. when tested by the spec
troseope, gives a brilliant spectrum,
which is continuous through all the
colors from the red to the violet rays.
The illuminating organs consist Of dis
tinct spherical cells, each one of
which Is about 10000 of an inch in
diameter, aud the beetle has power to
illuminate one or many Of these cells at
viii, producing light Of corresponding
intensity. Tile cells contain a fluid sat
urated with phosphorus, and the cover
ing OF the cell is so thin that atmosphere
coming in contact with it may affect
the contents.
1t has been suggested that the beetle
produces the flashes Of light or renders
the phosphorus suddenly luminous by
electrieity-by the injection Of warm
fuids-or by friction But it is certain
that the fash of light is made i'll an
other way. We may clearly trace a con
nection between the spiracles and
traehea spiral AIR tubes) of the beetle
and each Of the Illuminating cells, and
find that the little creature renders the
phosphorus contained in the cells lumi-
nous by forcing airupon them. The cells
when thus excited emit light from their
surface
We may initiate the act of the beetle
by dissecting one and placing the illumi-
mating organ under a microscope, COW
cred by 9 thin glass cover. When the
cover is lifted so as to admit little air,
the cells become luminous.
We may add that the name FREELY
