"I failto see any resemblance. Why?" Because it is all face and figure, has no head to :peak of, is hard to stop when once it is wound up and has a striking way of calling atten- tion to itself every hour of the day." —London Tit -Bits. RENAiiii.ABLE Ilti81 CTS. Faculty of Smell Is the Most Iligh'e )eveloped. The most valuable faculty posses• ed by insects is their sense of. smell. Most insects hear very poorly, and ants in particular are abs3lutely deaf, With all their batteries of eyes burg- ingin every direction these creatures do not seem to enjoy very good eye- sight. Sonie of the flying ins3cts cannot see well enough to avoid ob- stacles which to them should look ae big as a barn. But when it comes to the sense of smell the insect world is far ahead of any animal. Fabre, the great French entomologist, confined some female butterflies in a steel cage far from the natural haunts of the in• Sects. To his surprise males of the species came from miles away and lit on he screen. He then confined the females is hermetically -sealed jars and placed them near places frequented by the males. Not one paid any attention! though the females were visible through the glass. TO make sure that the sense of smell was the guiding force, Prof Fabre brought out some bits of paper and twigs on which the females had rested. Males soon appeared, andf ignoring the females in their glass jars, circled about the twigs and paper. It a strange alit of the same spociel is. placed in an ant -hili: he is violent, l ' ejected. Every insect he meeti recognizes him Instantly as an in, ttuder and helps in the ejection. If a small mouse dies in a field certain undertaker insects known at sylphs and necrophers will journel from distances of more than a milt to lay eggs in the 'body. The house -fly acts solely on tht sense of smell. In his flying about hi is perpetually trying to head iii fist direction of each breath of food.. adoi he meets, and dodges and turns with each eddy of air until he locates tilt source of the smell. Mosquitoes find you in the dart rather more easily than in the dull, They smell their victims outside till Rouse. Their sense of smell lead them to windows, doors, or chimxnaa �ytf,, In they go, and soon you hear Mehl song about your oars.
