cRoToN BUG IS A WONDER.

A Croton bugs mission In life seems
TO consist in getting drowned In bath
tubs, eating pages of books, and even
clothing, and making an all around
useless nuisance Of himself
But like lots of other seemingly use
less children of nature, the unloyely
Croton bug has not only his uses, but
that may raise him a bit in the public
mind.
In the first place. did you know that
he is an inveterate hunter? And that
his favorite prey and food is the bed
bug? But for the Croton bugs hunt
ing expeditions, there would be three
bedbugs where now there Is one. Much
may be forgiven in the Croton bug for
this exploit alone.
Again: The longest Croton bug
measures, perhaps, half an inch.
tall man may attn TO six feet in al
titude. The Croton bug Is thus one
one-hundred and fourty fourth the
size OF the man. HID man the strength
proportlonate TO his size which the
Croton bug possesses, here are a few
things II stNsfootcr could do:
He could run the 100-yard dash in a
fraction less than four-fifths Of a sec
ond. He could, at that rate, run Il
mile in something like fourteen sec
onds; and incidentally he could smash
every record ever dreamed of and
make the Empire State Express look
like 30 cents. This estimate Is based
on the speed of Croton bug which
was coerced into running across n
desk three feet wide. The bug made
the yard of distance I'm just one second
Figure out the ratio Yourself
Another thing a man could do. We're
he as powerful proportionately as the
Croton bug. is this: He could bite
through n piece of cloth eighteen inch.

Half dozen drops of purple ink
