NATAL, ANKLE RATTIFS

| The writer recently received from MT.
Claude Fuller, the government ento-
mologist of Natal two interesting
| anklets formed of the cocoons or a
| large bombycid moth, somewhat re-
sembing the luna moth of this country,
and which bears the scientific name of
Argema minosae of Boisduyal, known
to the English residents as the queen
moth. The natives collect the coeoons
after the moth has issued, put one or
moro small stones into each cocoon,
and sew them on to o broad strip Of
monkey skin, side by side, so as to COW
er the surface of the skin. They are
sewn to the raw side of the hide, the
fur being on the opposite side. The
anklets received are ten inches long by
four inches wide, and are attached to
the strips by means of thongs of the
same hide. The cocoons are tough and
dry and the stones within them rattle
In most delightful way. We give rat
ties to our children to amuse them, and
the savage man has the same infantile
characteristic in that he is amused by
rattles The use of these ankle rattles
has become quite general in Natal
since the Introduction of the ricksha
from China and India. The rieksha-
bearers wear the anklets very general
ly, and their rattle on the streets is al
most as familiar as sleigh-bells In a
New England town in winter.
This invention is not confined to
southeast Africa. DR.. Walter Hough
of the United States National Museum
has shown me rafting anklets from
Mexico which are made In a somewhat
similar way, Of the cocoons of another
large bombycid moth. In this case,
very many cocoons are strung together
on string and several rows are tied
around the ankle. Each cocoon has
been opened for the purpose of insert
ing the stones. DR. Hough also tells
me Of a much larger cocoon from In
dia, which is mounted singly at the end
of stick to be carried in the hand.
This cocoon also is made into a rattle.
