Three Unusual Nature Stories,
One Thrilling, the Others Odd

TN Japan there are established firms of
FREELY dealers each employing sixty
= or seventy catchers, and exporting
their catch chiefly to the large cities, where
fireflies are adjuncts to all grades of social
festivity, from the private garden parties
of mobiles to evening at a cheap tea gar
den. Sometimes they are kept Gagged, some
times released in swarms in the presence of
the guests.
The FREELY hunter starts forth at sunset
with q long bamboo pole and a bag of
mosquito netting. On reaching a suitable
growth of willows near water he makes
ready his net and strikes the branches,
twinklng with the insects with his pole.
This jars them to the ground where they
very rapidly, before they recover themselves
enough to fly. So the skilled catcher
sparing no time to put them at once into
the bag, uses both hands 20 pick them up
and tosses them lightly into his mouth!
There he holds them unframed until he
can hold no more and only then transfers
them to the bag
He works thus until about 2 o'clock
In the morning. when the insects leave the
trees for the dewy SOIL He then changes
his method. He brushes the surface of the
ground with a light broom to startle the
insects into light; then nc gathers them as
before. An expert has been known to gather
1000 in a night.

A S rule orangoutangs, the fiercest of
~ the apes, are caught young and
tanned before they are shipped to
Europe and the United States. One of these
animals that arrived in London came with
the best of characters. He was considered
q very tame, steady going creature, and an
expert was engaged to photograph him.
The man entered the orang's cage as he
had entered many others. He had not ex-
rosed many plates before he saw that the
animal was intent on mischief He was
very powerful beast, and the man would
have stood no chance at all IL the orang
had attacked him.
The mans only chance was to use the
camera as a weapon. Making sign to the
keeper to keep silent, the photographer
pointed his hand camera at the orang and
with slow and steady step approached him.
The keeper was outside the door ready 10
open Il; but neither Of them uttered sound
The photographer was relieved to see the
orang gradually retreat and at the same
time to be able to rise from the crouched
cid menacng position he had taken. once
the creature was on the move the man knew
he had a chance He succeeded in working
The orang around to the corner furthest
from the door. which the keeper had silently
and slowly opened. Still pointing his cam
era at the beast the man very slowly backed
out of the cage, the door was slammed 10
