d Sell Butterflies fo,. y I.iuinn.s 4

55ss Collectors Of butterflies in America.
will be interested to know that there
are persons in Europe who are now
making an excellent living by selling
artificial butterflies. This IS. new
industry. Pleasant work it is and es
pecially adapted for young girls. since
it mainly consists iii spreading with.
9, ,cameps hair brush very thin gum or.
paste over the. wings Of ordinary but
terfiies and then sprinkling over this
certain delicate metallic powders of
various *colors. By this deft manipula-
ton on a very common butterfly can in.
a short time be transformed into
one one that is @extrem ely rare. Recently
one of these takers sold at yery high
price an alleged specimen of. a red adj
m'1lral, which is a superb butterfly
and widely noted for its brilliant red
and white hues. Sometimes the white
specks turn blue and a specimen in
which this transformation has taken
places regarded as a great rarity. The
sfal1er'' knew this, and natura Nv His ,.:
red admiral had many blue specks. TN
fortuna t 111 ttely for him, the purchaser
was suspicious. and by the use Of !
magnlfying glass and a damp brush he
quickly discovered the fraud. As
result European collectors are now
resolved resi- " d not to purchase butterflies
except, from those dealers whom they
know to be thoroughly reliable. .4
