BUTTERFLIES' FEATS
How far can a butterfly flyh" That question is prompted by the reported discovery of no fewer than thirty appearances of the Monarch, or Milkweed, butterfly in Britain during the past summer. This insect, which measures four inches across its outspread wings, comes all the way from America. .It is well known that it has a habit of flying long distances over land, lint to cross the Atlantic Ocean is a still more remarkable feat At one time is was thought • that this distinguished visitor was carried by ships, but naturalists say they are now convinced that it actually flies the distance.
