somewhat resembling a gigantic grasshopper only more twiglike. The American Stick Insect follows ; next the Leaf Winged Locust and the Malayan Walking Leaf Insect. The latter is indeed much more nearly like a leaf than like any other insect. The similarity extends through a similar veining structure and in these veins we are told there exists the same green coloring matter, chlorophyl, which gives green color to the leaves and foliage in the vegetable kingdom.

Building the Brooklyn Bridge was one of the world's greatest engineering achievements. In this scientific animated drawing we are shown the way the excavations for the huge towers were made and the towers themselves built. The four main cables, each made of thousands of smaller cables, were next hung in place. Then the roadways were built out in both directions from both towers at the same time and suspended from the main cables. When the roadways finally met, the task of building the bridge was ended.
