First Dispatches From Scene.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 13.-The
dispatch from Tutuila to the Associated
Press and its brief predecessor of We'd
nesday describing the Manua Islands
disaster are the first news dispatches
ever received in America from the scene
of the disaster.
The historic hurricane of March 16.
1889, when the American men-of-war
Trenton, Nandalia and Nipsc and the Ger
man warships Adler and Eber were
caught in the open harbor of Apia. was
not reported in this country until weeks
later.
That story was brought here by ves-
sell and, because OF the dramatic inci-
dents connected with the brave conduct
of the American seamen, aroused such in
terest that il WAS sent overland on four
wires simultaneously to a length of 10000
words. The present hurricane appears to
have done even greater property damage.
A government wireless station was es-
tablished at Tutuila last summer FROM
there the message received yesterday
probably was caught by the station at
Apia, built by the German government
and taken over by the British when they
captured German Samoa Thence it WAS
relayed to the powerful commercial sta.
tion at Honolulu and transmitted 10 the
continent.

HOLDS INSECTS ARE TRUE
LORDS OF THE UNIVERSE
James Buckland, in Smithsonian
Report, Says Man Is Not
Dominant Power.

Among the geological articles in the
Smithsonian annual report is one on
the value of birds to man, in which
the author. James Buckland of Lon
don, makes the statement that although
man imagines himself the dominant
power of the earth, he is nothing of
the sort--the true lords of the uni
verse are the insects. For although
man has attained predominance over
the most fierce and powerful animals
and most deadly reptiles, he and his
works would he of little avail before
an attack of insects, which include
greater number of species than all
other living creatures combined. Some
100000 species have been described,
while possibly twice that number still
remain unknown.
The author says these incomputa BILE
hordes feed on nearly all living ami
mails and practically all plants, and
multiply into prodigious numbers in an
Incredibly short time.
According to Mr.. BuckIand'S article,
insects are quite as astounding in their
consuming qualities as in their rate of
Increase; a caterpillar eats twice its
weight in leaves a day, and in pro-
portion horse would consume ton
of hay in twenty-four hours. Certain
flesh eating larvae consume 200 times
their original weight in twenty-four
hours: in this manner an infant would
devour 1900 pounds of meat during the
first day of it's life. 1t is reported by
a specialist that the food taken by
silkworm in ffty-six days equals
$4,000 times its original weight. All
of which facts show what tremendous
destruction insects may cause.
Birds Most indispensable.
Through its predominating insect
diet. and on account of it's exceedingly
rapid digestion, the bird becomes the
most indispensable balancing force of
nature; without its assistance, man,
with his poisons, the weather and
animals, as well as the parasitic pre-
daceous insects. would be helpless.
Another article on birds, contributed
by Howard II. Cleaves, reviews the
work of the American Bird Banding
Association. DIR. Ales Hrdlicka of the
National Museum writes on the most
ancient skeletal remains of man, and

discussion concerning the earliest

in a burglary raid upon a general

short distance north of Pauline. The
