beautiful tints were wearing of even
before he had taken his departure.
When the butterfly had concluded
narrating his experience it was unani-
mously agreed that it was not wise
to put faith in new friends until their
merits had been thoroughly tested.
The butterflies remained on the
inner edge of the swamp for a long
time. There seemed to be a morbid
fascination for them in looking back
into the dismal marshes and review
ing the past.
At last the experienced butterfly
(for we shall call him this hereafter,
in order to distinguish him from the
others) aroused his companions.
"Come, let us fly forth into the
bright sunshine of life," he said.
The others arose thereupon and
they all flew from the swamp in a
dense cluster.
They intended always to keep to-
gether, but they soon found that this
was impossible.
They had gone but little distance
before one of their number heedlessly
blundered into a spiders web, and
though he fluttered and struggled tc
escape, became so entangled therein
that the rest were obliged to leave
him to his fate and fly onwards.
Shortly afterwards, while passing
large bonfire which burned on the
outskirts of a forest, another but

and was licked in by the flames.

and to the left, however. and most o

of the forest.
At length, when the end of the mar
perienced butterfly was the last that
remained of all the numerous COM
pany which had started out together.
When he flew out into the fields
beyond the wood he was the only
one that, born in low surroundings
and wishing to soar above them, had
finally attained his object.
And now the sun had reached its
meridian, and the ephemeron's life
was half spent. The tiny traveller
was unconscious of this fact, however,
for nothing in nature knows the time
when 1T willscease to exist.
There was large daisy field near
by; the butterfly fitted in to sip the
fragrance from the flowers. AS he
alighted upon q poppy, he heard the
sound of voices close by. He crawled
to the edge of the flower, and looking
over discovered two ants on the stem
of the plant, directly below him.
Seated together in the shade cast
by the flower, they were holding a
spirited discussion. The subject OF
the argument was whether the spider

Substitute For Hard Rubber.

An Englishman has taken out a
patent on a composition which he
says has all the properties of hard
rubber, but is much cheaper. Tan
bark and sulphur are used in its prep
aration. A coarse black powder is
said to result from stirring these ma
terials when heated. Later the pro-
duct is ground fine and placed in a
mold under the proper pressure. If
heat is then applied to the mold, says
the inventor, the contents set into a
hard. durable mass.
