caterpiIIars Of Sikkinis

The gai-tree forest Of Sikkim, in III
dia, In the tropical gorge of the Teesta,
is one of the breeding grounds of the
myriad butterflies that swarm over the
country. A traveller says. that in May
and until the middle of June the ten
der leaves of the numerous trees are
literally alive with voracious catetpil-
lars. The presence of these caterpil:
lars in such overwhelming numbers is
explained by the fact that they are. dis

fered them rejected them after, a trial

The Fly and the Matches.

One would be inclined to say that for
a fly to empty a box of matches is ut
terly impossible, yet it can be made to
accomplish this feat. Catch an ordi-
nary house fly alive and, taking hold Of
it carefully by the wings, let it touch a
match in an uncovered box with its
legs. 1t will at once grip the match in
its endeayors to walk, and on lifting
the fly the insect will in turn lift the
match. Pull the match away from the
fy, and the same maneuver can be re-
peated time after time until the box Is
empty

Colors La FLAGS.

Red is by far the most predominant
color In the flags of the world. There
is only one flag in Europe that does
not contain red, and that is the stand
ard of Greece. After red, blue takes
pride of place, but many flags are en-
tirely red. except for minor devices
Egypt. Morocco, Austria Hungary and
Japan possess all red flags. No fewer
than forty-two other countries display
red freely in their banners. and the
color is. in a natural sense, typical Of
valor and bravery. Blue in flags repre-
sents justice; white stands for purity.

France and England had no national

among the plebeian masses, meeting
with the approval of cabbes and chauf-
