THEY REALLY FLY.
Take a thin sheet of typewriting paper and draw on it a few small butterflies or moths. Colour them and cut them out. Then glue to each a length of cotton, about four inches, and glue the free ends of the cotton to a sheet of stout paper. The diagram explains all this perfectly.
Next take a sheet of brown paper, put it in a hot oven for a few seconds, and when nice and hot rub it vigorously for a short while. Rub one way only. Immediately hold the paper over the sheet with the butterflies lying on it;- they will quickly come to life and begin to fly round. Kepeat the experiment as often as you like.
