No. 22 TRAPS FOR Insect-eating Plants and Animals A Praying Mantis catching and eating a grasshopper — how this insect lays its eggs. How the Pitcher Plant traps ants and other insects — flies entangled in the Sun Dew — the INSECTS Venus Fly Traps capturing a fly. The Chameleon at work with its limber tongue. No. 23 TROPICAL BIRDS Bird-life in the Amazon J alley On the pampas, the Brazillians are busy with their huge herds of cattle and horses. When any of these fall by the wayside great numbers of carrion birds immediately gather. Brazilian lakes are a paradise for wading birds. Brazilian forests are equally crowded ♦ No. 26 SUBMARINE An Undersea Study of the Crab The side-wise walk of the crab as it searches for food — how it cracks a clam and feeds thereon — cleaning its claws. A crab camouflaging itself with a cloak with the birds which feed on insects, such as Hornets, the Hairy Spider and the Bird Spider which are shown. The camera records the building of the nest of the Humming Birds, and the feeding of the young. CAMOUFLAGE of sea-weed — its battles with other crabs — mating — the eggs. Scenes of the crab-fisher and of the market place where the crab comes to a sad end. No. 29 SECRETS OF THE SEA Jellyfish and Sea-slugs through the Microscope Scientist-fishermen fill their collecting jars with specimens from near the surface of the ocean. Back in the laboratory the microscope discloses two species of jellyfish; a marine worm, Sagitta; and two slugs, Tomopteris and Aeolis. There is a beauty to the scenes which charms even those to whom these forms of life are mysteries.
