Insects of the World.

Some insects lay eggs at the gate
of 60 minute, or $4,000 a day. and
from the egg to full maturity of the
young insect occupies only a few
hours. Insects constitute by far the
largest group of living creatures on
the globe The most conservative es-
innate places the number of species
alone at 100000. They feed on every
part of every plant that grows, and
also upon dead plant tissue in every
stage of decay They will even eat
soil mould They prey upon all forms
of animal life. devour not only living
meat but dead and putrid flesh. All
excre7nentitious substances are dain-
ties to them, and no fabric is too dry
for their taste.

Munich labor bureau for boys leaving
school is recorded. Munich teachers
became interested in finding suitable
work for their boys in 1908, and now
the bureau, with their help, has Crap
pied with the question most success
fully.
Every year printed schedules of
comprehensive questions are sent to
every head teacher of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the pu-
pills who are going to leave the schools
that year
The pupils are asked to put them
selves in communication with the mu-
nicipal labor bureau, which will ad-
wise them as to the choice of a voca-
ton, and give them the best chance
possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent to all
the trade guilds and other labor So
cieties to enlist their cooperation.
The children respond readily to the
aid given them. Boys come by dozens
to the Offices of the bureau in search
of positions as apprentice or beginner.
Each brings form of application,
filed up by himself, but signed by his
teacher.
When the bureau finds a place for
him he is notified by post card, and
presents himself for examination by
the employer, wherever and whenever
the latter may appoint.
Whether the boy takes the job or
not, he must report to the bureau the
result of the interview; and this goes
on until work is procured which
suits him and which he is able to do
For the direction of the boys the
labor bureau has prepared, with the
