The ~ do not breathe through their months but by means of a great n uMber of lift e pipes wliTch run through I them len thwlse, having openings here and them, on the sides of the body where the freSh air is drawn in: These little openings are very curiously contrived-r-in some cases protected by tiny trap-doors opening on hinges, in others having a strong grat ing over thein of very course hairs.— Hence an insect when ea in two, as he does not use his mouth for breathing, and as his brain is not confined to his head but runs all though his body, will i. live for many hours in his niutilated state. In fact some insets never eat a mouthful after they are ill grown. . Insects have from, two to live eyes:— „ Two large eyes . called compound eyes because they are made upof many little eyes'united, like a bundle of six sided spy-glasses tied together, large at one end and very small at the other, anti looking under the microscope, like the meshes of a very line net. Then there Sire sometimes three little eyes in 'addl , tton,to theiarge ones, placed generall2 on the top of the head, although they, oceasidnally, vary their position. .All insects are provided with antert,i - e which. are those little, many-jointed t projections extendin from the .head near the eyes some , A hat like reindeer horns. These are pr bably used for feel-. ing, smelling., and hearing with, al though their uses have not been dell- nitely settled. They vary much in ap pearance; sometimes resembling Indian • clubs, sometimes fringed like a fir tree, • notched like.a saw, plumed like a feath er, or armed With teeth like a comb. A few insects have no wings, others have two, others four, but none have more than that number. Insects Pass through several•stages of existence before they become fully de ' veloped. Most of thein are hatched from eggs; then they pass into the larva state, in which they 'are- caterpillar, -maggot, or grub, according as they be- , come butterfly or beetle.. In course Of time they go into pupa, or mummy state,' from which they emerge ready for ac • tion-as perfect insects. In some classes these 'distinctions are not so`, strongly marked. On examining a fly with a mier scope, you will find six legs, armed each with two sharp little toes; two big comp° lid eyes covering nearly the whole of the head, and the three little eyes -arranged in a triangle ,• two transparent wine strengthened by ,a net work of veins, and covered with fine• hairs to protect them from Wear and tear; a pair of tiny winglets, and on each side of the body , a little knob which serves for unknown • purposes. On closer examination of his mouth you will find a proboscii or trunk, like an elephant's;, this is noth ing but the lOWer lip lengthened and armed with three lancets, with which it punctures its - .food, or exasperates bald-headed old gentlemen. The end of the lip is flattened and grooved like the bottom of a meat dish for gravy.— He is provided with a fluid g which run ring down little canals in his. trunk, dissolves soluble substances, so that they are easily sucked up through" the Same little cauids. j On examining the foot closely under , the microscope you will see that it is armed with two little claws, protected by fleshy pads, covered *with hairs. Each hair i'• enlarged at the end, mak ing a tittle disk, which is kept moist by a fluid continually exuding. The little claws catch ori the rough point. of any surface, and the inorneffe tbis.is done': • the little disks take het 1 by their edges, leaving a vacuum, and ILhus creating an almospheric pressure which sustains the insect agamst the force of gravit'a.- tion. While one foot is raised, the -oth ers retain their hold, and the rapid mbve me.:t of the six legs along the ceiling, sho•A's how swift is . the instinctive ":ae tion of this complex-apparatus. . According to KirbP and Silence, 'the common house fly, ,when undisturbed, makes six , hundred strokes With - its wings in a second, and when _necessary can ~crease its velocity six-fold. - There is-one fact in the natural histo fy of flies that is generally very little understood, and what is true of flies, is equally trutotif all insects. I't is that flies hatched into the winged state nev er grow ante more, either • smaller or urger. If he is hatched a small fly, -.u-11-he - remains all the days of his life. Ills growing and most of his eating ink been done in the larva of maggot state. Then he, leads the life of I glutton, eat ing with apparent rel • all Most loath some things, revelh * in all sorts of im purities, waxing vex-. fat and alderman ' ic, as do most large • aters in the human tribe.
