Ants That Love Books.

The ravages Of the white ant among
books and papers in India have become
so serious that the government has APP
pointed an entOmOlogist, II, B. Fletch'
err, to make an exhaustive study of the
insect There are, It Is stated. five
kinds of insects that ruin Office records
in India. the white ant. fish hug, water
bug, cOckroach and bOrer There is no
way Of preventing ravages by these
enemies except keeping all records In
dust tight steel cabinets and bookcases.
The white ants reduce an entire book,
binding and leaves, to dust. The fish
bug eats holes In the records. while the
water bug aud cOckroach expend their
energies ON bindings. The borer starts
