Nature Protects Butterfly.
When the butterfly is at rest, it
folds its wings over its back, so that
only Ihe drab, protectively colored low
er surface is visible. In this posture
the insect is of very low prominence
from any angle.
The moth, unlike the butterfly, flies
at night. Obviously, bright coloring
would be to no purpose in attracting
mates. The moth is garbed in dull
tints, which render it inconspicuous
during the day, its period of rest.
There is no need of hiding the upper
surface of its wings; so a convenient
means to distinguish moths from but
terflies is the fact that the latter, when
at rest, fold their wings above their
backs, as stated, while the former
spread their wings out flat.
How Firefly Feeds.
The pretty firefly has honors other
than as the poetic glimmering glow
worm. He has a very mua ana inno
cent mouth and cannot masticate
solids. His diet is snails. He gently
caresses and tweaks the exposed part
of the snail, drugging the unfortunate
shell inhabitant. “By repeated tiny
bites, similar to the tweaks we saw
distributed at the outset, the flesh of
the mollusc is converted into a gruel.”
This liquid-eating glow-worm pro
ceeds to drink. Afterward you will And
the snail’s shell perfectly empty. The
entire animal has been chemically dis
solved into a proper soup for the fire
fly’s delicate digestion.
COMMANDER OF THE COMFORT
This is Charles Malden Oman, com
manding officer of the American hos
pital ship Comfort which the govern
ment planned to send across the At
lantic without convoy to test Ger
many's respect for the Red Cross em

since the Germans recently sank a
Canadian hospital ship.
To Learn Fate of Sun.
It is by means of new stars that as
tronomers hope to establish what will
be the ultimate fate of the sun and its
attendant planets. Every star, and
the sun is a star, is rushing through
space at enormous speed. The sun
is traveling toward Vega with a veloc
ity of 12 miles a second. Other stars
are known which possess a speed of
380 miles a second. There are in the
sky great clouds of dark meteors, such
as obstruct our view of the milky way.
When a star hits one of these clouds
I here is a flash of fire as it tears its
way through. If the swarm is small
the star may escape, but if it is large
the star Is destroyed and its frag
ments go to Increase the cloyid that
caused its destruction. The English
astronomer who first observed the new
star, says that it represents a catas
trophe of enormous magnitude in in
conceivably remote fields. „•

An Extraordinary Sale
Of All Summer vShoes
MENS WOMENS CHILDRENS
Our policy of quick stock renewals is what makes a sale of this
kind necessary, every season—about this time every year we find the ne
cessity in a larger way. Fall shoes are coming in and we must make
room for them, and this means faster selling, and faster selling means
lowering of prices. That’s tho course—and the only course we have ever
found open, and we’re not going to look for any other way now.
Our Aim Is To Sell The Shoes
and the selling must be fast, and to make it so wp are going to sacrifice
the “best sellers.” We have no slow sellers, but we are going to shove
forward the most desirable first—and the wise buyer will come and come
