MR. AND MRS. TUMBLE-BUG

She has evidently found a spot 
that suits her, and we expect her to 
fulfil the directions of the books 
and entomological authorities. She 
must " dig a deep hole first, and 
then roll the ball into it, and 
fill it up again." But we 
will look in 
vain for such 
obedience. 
Instead of 
this she per- 
s i s t s in 
ploughing 
around be- 
neath the 
ball, which 
seems at times al- 
most balanced on 
her back, until all 
the earth at this 
point is soft and fri- 
able, and she is out of 
sight under it. Pres- 
ently she appears 
again at the surface, 
and as quickly disap- 
pears again, this time 
going in upsidedown
