Beautiful but Short Lived.

OF the countless millions Of butter
files and moths, the most see light in
June and are dead before the end of
August Some are horn to live but
four weeks. A Struggling few last the
winter through, But on the construc-
ton Of all these creatures of a month
or a year, the same infinite creative
pains have been lavished.
In the eye of butterfly are thou
sand or more perfect lenses. On the
wings of a large butterfly a million
and half feathery shingles Of mIcrus
scoplc proportions are laid in perfect
order, So small are they that they
look like dust when brushed off the
hand. The patterns of the wings are
due to the arrangement Of these
feathery scales. The colors are due in
part to pigments in the scales, and in
part to the reflection of light from
delicate ridges and situations on each
microscopic scale

tractors and unions amounting to
conspiracy in restraint of trade un-
der the Sherman act was charged in
the Indictments.
At the same time indictments on
similar counts against thirty-nine
other corporations and individuals s
returned by the March grand jury,
but suppressed until today. were re-
leased.
An agreement between contractors
and representatives of the Amalga-
mated Sheet Metal Workers Alliance
to keep out of the Chicago market
all competitive sheet metal products
was alleged in one indictment. This
conspiracy was said to have been in
existence three years. SO effectively
had this agreement functioned, it
was charged. that for three years all
sheet metal used in building con-
struction in Chicago had been manu-
factured within the city limits. un-
der conditions where competition
had been eliminated. Prices of sheet
metal work had been increased. it
was alleged, fully 100 per cent be-
cause of this situation.

this alleged collusion.
Wholesale dealers in plumbing and
heating materials also were charged
