MONEY MADE IN butterflies
Queer Occupation by Which Men Mako
Living in Wild Jungles Of
India and Africa.

One of the Queerest of occupations
by which men make their living is but
terfy hunting, and as it is now con-
Quoted in the jungles of India and
Africa it is also as full of adventure
and narrow escapes as tiger hunting or
gold mining. The butterflies Of our
fields and woods are, of course, too
common to have any value, but there
are very rare varieties that will bring
as high as $1,000 specimen, and it is
to catch these that men undertake all
manner of risks. Before man can
attempt butterfly hunting he must have
a thorough scientific education, and
then he can go to Africa, and by col
lecting lizards and orchids and rare
plants along with the butterflies he can
often make very large sums of money.
In capturing butterflies in the jungle
the collector often has to climb trees
where there are poisonous insects and
snakes and sit very quietly with his
long net in hand and wait for the ap-
pearance of some beautiful butterfly.
Then he must carefully scoop it in,
get it down safely, and pack it for
shipment to London. II he is fortunate
enough to find an entirely new and
rare variety he can sometimes make a
whole years salary out of it. Many
wealthy people in Europe have magnifi'
cent private collections of insects, and
there are also good public collections
owned by the governments.

Color Your Own Pictures,

Some of our amateur photographers
may be interested in learning an
easy way of color;ng a photograph
nicely without having first taken les.
sons in drawing or painting. This il
the method: After you have printed
your photograph, and before you
mount it on cardboard, hold it against
the window, placing the picture side
toward the glass; then sketch clearly
on the back of the picture the out
lines of the parts to be colored. When
this is completed place the picture
side of the photograph against a blot
ter and apply the desired colors to
the back of the picture, keeping with
in the sketched outlines. Then pre-
pare a mixture consisting of ten parts
benzine and one part vaseline, and
pour this over the photograph, rub
bling it thoroughly into the paper with
the finger. Do this both on the face
and back of the picture. After the
picture has become transparent
through this process let it stap1 for
an hour or two, then dry it with q
cloth and mount 1t on cardboard.

Good Trap After All.

A Connecticut man being annoyed
by huge rat which persisted in ma
king away with chicken feed and
pretty much everything else that it
found in the barn loft, set trap for
the marauder. The trap was a new
tangled affair, baited with nice piece
of toasted cheese, but the rat was too
cunning, so an old-fashioned, steel
pronged trap was buried under the
chaff in the well-worn path from un.
der the hay, and the new trap pushed
aside The old rat was caught the
first night and killed, and no one
thought of the other trap for three
weeks. When the farmers boy went
to look for it. a mass Of stuff in the
center attracted his attention, and, on
examination, it was found that a cou.
pie of half-groWn rats had found their
way into it, and had settled down to
make the best of the situation. They
had drawn in through the spaces at
least two quarts of chaff and bits OF
hay and had gone to housekeeping.
They looked surprised at being dis.
turbed, and the farmer is now exhibit.
ing them as specimens of contentment
under difficulties.

WITH AN AK HE FIGHTS PHONE
Man Chops Down Poles Because He
Did Not Want "Woman on
Wire"

South Norwalk, Conn.-Because he
did not want "a woman on his tele-
phone WIRE" Louis Warncke, a prom
inent resident of Wilton, tackled the
telephone company's poles with an ak
as fast as they were erected, hacking
down six of them, for which he will
probably answer in the courts. Mrs.
Susie Cole is his neighbor, and it is
known that their relations are any,
thing but neighborly.
When Mrs. Cole wanted telephone
connection, Mr.. Warncke protested to
the telephone company against plac-
ing her on his party line. Finding
his protests unavailing as soon as the
first pole was set he tackled Il with
an az and brought it and the wires
down. Five more poles In succession
came down, and now the telephone
company has an armed guard around
the poles. Warncke has a shotgun
and announces that as soon as any
wires are strung he will stand on his
own ground and shoot them down.

to be the same as when it was first
seen.
The solution is when the assistant
enters the bag he pulls in about Is
inches of the rope and holds it, as
shown in Fig. 3, while the committee
is tying him up. AS soon as he is
in the cabinet he merely lets out the
slack thus making enough room for
his body to pass through. When he is
out Of the bag he quickly unties the
knots and then steps from his cabinet.
