HOW THE WONDERS SEE AND HEAR. 



Have you ever noticed the 

 long horns on the grasshop- 

 pers, beetles, and the like? 

 These are antennae, or feelers. 

 They turn every way, and are what they 

 hear with, — that is, it seems so. If you 

 watch some of them when they hear a 

 noise you will see them stretch out these 

 feelers. They keep them motionless, as 

 if they were listening. When the noise 

 is over they will move them about care- 

 lessly again. 



The eyes of insects are wonderful 

 things ; they have many in one. Under 

 a glass they seem just like paved 

 streets. 



These strange, eyes do not help 

 them to see at a distance, but they are 

 very useful when the insects go insidt, 

 of flowers. 



To a fly evei-ything must look very 

 rich, for one rose may appear to him like 

 ten thousand, and one drop of honey 

 like ten thousand drops. 



^ow, if a man were 

 made without bones, 

 breathing out of his 

 sides, with a head 

 almost all eyes, 

 wouldn't he be 

 a funny-looking ob- 

 ject?
