NOISY BUTTERFLIES. One Species Produces a Sound Like the Snap of a Whip. One does not think of butterflies as making nny sounds, nor of caterpillars as noisy crentures, yet according to the Into Samuel Hubbard Scudder in "Frail Children of the Air," the careful student will find some use for his earn when observing the habits of both. Says the author: It Is n fact that certain butterflies produce sound during certain movements. The "whip" butterfly when surprised makes a noise like the snap of a lash by opening and shotting its wings in quick succession. Some hibernating butterflies when disturbed make a faint hissing sound by slowly

depressing and. raising their wings. The noise thus produced resembles that made by blowing slowly through closed teeth. Other sounds resemble the friction of sandpaper. A large number of caterpillars make sound by striking the head against the leaf on which they are resting or by winging the head from side to side, catching the mandibles In the roughness of the leaf or on the silken threads spun on It It Is said that a certain kind of chrysalis when disturbed emit a alight, sharp chirp or clicking noise. V ' A Hard Paoa. Bobby's papa, who Is a naval officer, took him to call upon thefamily of a brother officer who had just returned from a cruise to the tropics.

While the grownups were engaged In talking over old times Bobby, left to hla own devices, drew nearer to the parrot's cage, bent on making Mends. Presently there was a squawk from the parrot and a little frightened cry from Bobby, who ran to his father, exhibiting a bleeding forefinger. The little man was brave, though, aa befitted the son of a sailor, lie brushed away his tears and said: "Gee, papa, but that bird has a hard face!" Harper's Magazine.
