Odors so faint or so diluted as to have no cﬁect on man, will at- : tract insects from a, distance, and this fact is made use of in capturing the rarer varieties of butterflies; and - it is sunnised with good reason that the antennae are the receptive or- gans. We can all‘ call io-mind a range of sounds madeby insects, and we know‘ that in the case ofFtlfe cricket- - there is a special mechanism for making its call: but what casts doubt upon the probability of its antennae receiving the sound, is that the crick- et (so say the mlcroscoplsts) has its v ears in its legs!

kinds: ocelli, (simple cyee) and oculi (compound eyes). As the structure of the ocelll is‘ rudimentary, it can- not be that their vision is very per- fcct. In the compound eyes (of which there arc always two) there is the union oi a number of facets. ranging up to 30,000. Ocuil are usually very prominent objects, and frequently oc- cupy the greater pert of the head as is seen in the Dragon-flies, or “dev- iis-darning - needles." Caterpillars have ocelil only, usually 12 in num- ber; soi-n-e mature insects have both ccelli and oculi, while beetles as a rule have oculi only.

The mouth-parts of insects vary greatly in the different orders and families, and on account of their niinuteness their examination ls 0ft- en a. matter of difficulty. Without go- ing into technical detail I may‘ gen- eralize by saying that moths and but- tcrﬂlcs have certain parts transform- ed into a very long tube for extract- ing nectar from flowers: many of the Diptcra. (two-winged flies) have the mouth adapted for piercing and sucking, the beetles have a biting mouth, and the bees and wasps can both bite and suck.

In the next article I hope to deal with the thorax and its appendages, and the abdomen.

THE HIGH-PRODUCING FIN

An instructive synopsis of a. paper on this subject, delivered at the recent Poultry congress, has lust reached me. It contains resultsiobtalned in the Roweti: Institute, Aberdeen, Scotland, and is well worth the at- tention of those interested in the poultry industry.

A ZOO-egg hen, it was shown, pro- duces in the year more than ﬂve times the edible solids that she her- self contain; and in 24 days, at the rate of an egg a day, she turns out the equivalent of the total dry mat- ter in her body. The question of nu- trltion-the supplying of those ele- ments that go to make up this out- lay-its consequently an important problem. Hens have been bred up capable of laying over 300 eggs in the year, and this outrpui: depends upon the rapid transforming of the proper food materials into the finish- ed pPOGLifT, since the increased pro- duction is not associated with any in- creased storage capacity in the hen.” The term “transforming of mater- ial" is used advlsedly, because no matter what food is supplied, the chemical composition of the egg re- mains the same; protein, fat, and minerals-especially calcium-are its components. Cereals are deficient in all of these, but for economic reasons will always form a. large part: of the diet. What supplements, then, can be used to supply a balance containing the required chemicals?

Exesrlments conducted at this and other Institutes show that the inel- tion o! milk, fish meal, ineet ‘and bone meal-all rich in protein and

non ri-em ten to fifty per dent. A cheaper supplement, which gave equally good reults, was ii combina- tion of soybean meal and certain miner-ale.

The conclusion was also reached that egg weight goes down u pro- duction goes up, and this tendency can be remedied only by the inclus- icn of the rations indicated ln the preceding paragraph. i QUANTITIES 0F MARBLE FOUND
