from two to six inches long. They
are very peculiar in appearance and
are sometimes called Praying Mantis,
Soothsayers and the Prophet Bugs.
1t is said the Chinese tell their for
tunes from the actions of the insects.
The name Praying Mantis comes from
the fact that the insects hold their two
front legs, which are very short; in a
praying position, and often work them
rapidly back and forth. The most
peculiar parts of the bug are it's eyes
and long neck. The eyes are like
miniature shoe buttons on the outside
of the insects head. and in proportion
to it's size are very large The neck
shoots out from the body and forms
about one-third the length of the bug,
ranging from one to two inches. The
mantis can fly, has green wings, a
brown glossy back and long feelers
protrGding from it's head, All to-
gether it is not friendly looking
beast. Recently, it is said, the owners
OF greenhouses in this country have

ago q number of the insects were
brought to this city from China on
some plants that had been imported
by the Meehan Nurseries, in German
town Gradually the mantis spread
through Germantown, and are now
rather abundant north of Market
street. That they will in time spread
throughout the city and suburbs, and
perhaps, in time throughout the coun-

Sciences, has no sting, but has rath-
