Preaigious Eecundity Of an Insect Which
Feeds on the Plant Kingdom.
The aphis, which is known by the
common name of plant 1ouse,''' is an
chronological enigma as well as an
agricultural pest. The scientists do not
pretent to know just exactly how many
varieties of aphis browse on the green
things OF nature, but some authorities
estimate them them at 1000, large
proportion of that number having been
named and classified. A single insect
of any of these species of aphis may be.
come the progenitor Of billions of
young, even during its own lifetime.
Latrielle, who is regarded by the st.
Louis Republic as an acknowledged
authority On this branch of entomol-
ogy, makes some curious and interest
ing calculations: A female will pro-
duce young at the rate of about TWEEN
ty-five q day during the summer
months, and as each Immediately be-
comes the progenitor of others, one
aphis may possibly be the mother,
grandmother, great-grandmother, etc,
ct al. of the enormous number of 1904

season. Yongard and Morren, who are
equally as good authorities as Lat
rielle, extend this number into quin-
tillions as being within the capabili-
ties of a single mothers Efforts. The
late Prof. HUXLEY once made a calcula-
ton which affords some idea of what
quintillion of aphides might mean: As
Stunning that an aphis will not weigh
more than the one-thousandth part OF
a grain, and that man must be very
heavy in order to weigh more than
2.eoe. Geo grains. the tenth brood of ap-
hides alone, without adding the. prod
