ORNAMENTAL ARTICLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.
Application led March 2D, 1914. Serial No. 826.106.
To alla/'710m it may concern Be it known that l, .llnNmn'rTA MEADE lVoo'r'roN, of Boston, in the countyof Suffolk and State of b'lassachusetts, have invented a new and useful Ornamental Article, of which the following is a specification.
. other members but ,also have a coliperating holding function of their own.
In the draw-ings: Figure l is a plan of a plaque embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is an end view thereof; Fig. 3 is a partial section of the device shown in Fig. l but on a larger scale; Fig. 4 is a detail of the milk- 'weed fibers being substantially parallel to each other; Fig. 5 is.a detail showing the ofthe design these consisting mainly, in
, the embodiment illustrated, of a fluffy milk- Weed background B, foliage or grasses D and a butterfly E.
In making the butterfly I prefer to provide a baser of gummed paper upon which is placed the artificial body e', preferably of cardboard or similar material Vsuitably colored. The natural Wings e2, c2 are then stuck on to the base c and the natural -feelers c3, c3 are `glued to the head portion of the artificialbody. lThis method of mak- .ing the butterfly results in a. relatively flat element of the design-which preserves its shape and lntegrahty.
. preferably use the fibers of milkweed as a l'iackground because they are white and typify the sky, the butterfly being represented as flying among the grasses or the like such as'foliage; The fibers of the milkweed may be parallel as shown in detail in Fig.' l or the stem may be centrally arranged with relation to its fibers as shown at B in Fig. .1, this form having the appearance of'a star in the sky background.
The yielding fibrous milkweed holds the other elements against lateral displacement, thi oeing clearly illustrated in Fig. 3, it being clear that the milkweed has not only the function of being a part of the design but also the function of holdingr other elements against lateral displacement which would destroy the design.
. The fibers of the milkweed are, of course, 1n an orderly arrangement and, as illus- .trated, some of the fibers are in groups with the bers substantially parallel or side byI side and others have the fibers radiating,r from their stems. Milkweed is lustrous and produces a gleaming or shimmering effect on the eye particularly when in such arrangement, thus imparting a representation or typifieation of the sky which is enhanced by the winged creature or creatures which are supported by the surface of the milkweed. In other Words, the ornamental article as a Whole represents the butterfly or other Winged creature as in its natural element, viz.: the air, With av brilliant sky as the immediate background for the butterfly.
When the elements are in place a transf parent cover F, preferably circular, is brought into position and a strip of flexible moisture proof material G, such as electric tape, is applied so as to cover the edges and extend inwardly along the outer faces of the base and cover. This material is also extended Well inwardly between the base and cover so that it not only prevents moisture, air, insects and other foreign matter from entering between the base and cover and holds them together by reason of the adhesion between the glass and the gum of said tape, but it also spaces the base and cover at the proper distance apart so thatthe elements of the design will be held improper relative position but will not be crushed and of course some slight pressui'e may be used,
because vof the vielding nature of the milkweed lmckground. A slight opening may exist at f] between the ends of strip G and therefore 'l provide asimilar strip G of moisture proof material outside of strip G, the ends of strip G" being at g and therefore the opening g is completely covered by strip G. These strips G and G' prevent relative rotation between the base and cover and so prevent anypossible disarrangement of the design.
Outside s trip G is placed a metal rim H which aids in holding the parts together.

I am aware that it has been proposed to mount entomological specimens such as butteriies, by confining them between glass and a cotton batting'mat, but cotton possesses no luster, especially when the fibers minutely crossv each other as in batting` To obtain the ornamental effect hereinbefore described, it is desirable first that the fibers shall be lustrous, and second that they shall be rela- 'tively arranged in an orderly manner with -lrttle or no crossing of the uppermost fibers;
in other words, that they shall possess an orderly arrangement (not` in a disorderly lmixture or tangle) so as to obtain the best gleaming appearance to typify the brilliance that appeals to the eye as the concomitant of the butterfly and many other winged creaxtures.
What I claim is:
1. An ornamental article comprising a background of milkweed and a winged crea- A Yture contrasting therewith, the fibers of the naillrweedv having an artistic arrangement to exhibit their lustrous quality.
ornamental article comprising a .background of milkweed and a Winged creature supported by the surface thereof, the
surface fibers of the Inilkweed exhibiting A stems.
4. An ornamental article comprising a background'of lustrous fibers and a winged creature contrasting therewith, the fibers having a predetermined variant relationship to exhibit their lustrous qualities in an artistic manner.
` 5. An ornamental article comprisin 'a background of lustrous fibers arranger? to reflect light, and a winged creature contrasting with said fibers.
