Strongest of Living Creatures.


What living creature is possessed Oh
the greatest bodily strength in proper
ton to its size?'' was a question asked
by q reader. The answer is as follows:
This honor must be divided between
the Cockchafer, the hive bee and the
flea. 1t is rather difficult to apply
test to prove which particular insect
among the borers, the Jumpers and css-,
riers is the strongest, but there Is no
question that in proportion to their
size insects undoubtedly possess the
greatest strength among living crea-
lures. The flea can jump foot high,
more than 100 times its own length,
and talziag its average iumpas 30 times
its own length, it is as it q man jumped
as high as the gallery of the monu-
ment. The spring of the tiger and the
leap of the kangaroo are insignlncane
when compared with this. cock
chafer is strong enough to lift 9s.S
times its own weight, small hive 30
as5 times the weight Of itself judged
by this standard, there is nothing coun-
parable to it-among other insects or
among the larger animals, and 1t may
be safely asserted that these three IN
| scots divide the honors between them,
! for though boring insects pierce the
hardest wood, IT. Is by the wondeE3nl

a bored, uninterested look on his face,
resumed as easy position as circuln-

of the girls changed.

scorn, and at that it came-tyvo bursts
of ringing laughter. They tried to stop.
