The most beautiful butterflies are
the tropical ones and thus 1t comes
about that the butterfly farmer is
most eager to stock his farm with
the live Jewels from Central and
South America and the West Indies.
Some of these tropical butterflies
measure six inches from tip to tip
of the wings and they are resplendant
in coloring of the most vivid hues.
The butterfly dealer must handle his
stock with greater care than is be-
slowed by any other merchant. OF
course the butterflies sold to collec-
ters. museums, etc. are dead but ex-
treme care must be exercised in ham
ding lest their delicate wings be
broken or crushed. Each butterfly
when unmounted is kept in three
cornered envelope and the butterfly
expert likes to mount valuable speci-
mon as promptly as possible feeling
that the treasure is safer in that
form. The latest approved method ID
to mount each butterfly between two
glass plates SO that both sides Of the
wonderfully colored wings may be
seen. Another style mount consists
Of square plaque of plaster into the
followed side OF which butterfly
fits while over the specimen Is placed
