The Strength of Insects.

A intervals there appear accounts
"a setting forth the prodigious
strength of insects Their muscular
force is usually compared with their
size by stating, for example. that a
flea can leap so many times its own
length and that an ant can drag so
many times its own weight. Then il is
stated that ran. if he were strong in
the same proportion. could jump so
many rods or lift so many tons These
comparisons. according to the French
investigator, Leo Robida, are mislead-
ing. to say the least
He states that il is interesting to
consider, solely from a mechanical
point Of view, these comparisons be-
tween the muscular strength of man
and that of insects. strictly from this
standpoint they are by no means ex-
traordinary and are only one of the
forms of what has been called the
conflict of squares and cubes" The
law is we'll known-volumes decrease
in more rapid ratio than surfaces.
Tho force that a muscle can exert de-
ponds on its section-that is, on sur
face-although its capacity for doing
work depends on It's volume, as is log
ical Here is the explanation of the
astonishing strength of insects. As an
example. compare two muscles. that of
man and that of an insect, the latter
100 tunes shorter tnan the IbffneF IL
is evident that the Insects muscle viii
be e0O. 900 times lighter than the mans.
while its section, and consequently the
force il can exert, will be only 10000
times less. The conclusion is that since
4 man can lift 50 pounds the insect Will
lift 10000 times less. or l5i grains. and
one gets the impressive spectacle OF an
insect lifting more than loo times Its
weight. In fact, the smaller the insect
is the more il will astonish us by an
appearance of extraordinary strength.
But il is no longer the same If one
examines the mechanical work effected.
The muscle of the insect supposed to
be one -hundredths of a mans in
linear dimensions. furnishes, when IL
contracts, a force 0.000 times less than
the human muscle, eXerted through
space 100 times smaller; the work
produced viii thus be 100000 times
smaller. which re-establishes the pro-
portion between weight and strength.
Moreover, il seems Gust as with ma
chimes, where the smaller are proper
tionally weaker as if the insects mus
Gle, instead of SURPRISING mans in
finitely, is notably inferior TO 1t in
quality. Take the fieas jump. for in
stance. By it's muscular contraction
it gives to its mass movement cap
able of raising it twelve inches. Man
can raise his own weight about f1ve
feet by leaping. For equal weight the
human muscle thus furnishes five times
more work than that of the flea in
single contraction, since the work Is
the product of the weight by the height
to which it is raised.

THE DAUGHTER OF THE STORAGE.
By w. D. Howells, author of Their
Silver Wedding Journey etc. New
York: Harper Bros
About twenty sketches and short
stories meet here in the even flow of
Mr.. Howells suave and genial artistry.
These things in prose and verse are
of the sort that gives charm to COM
mon things, that opens ones eyes to
the romance of the usual. Mr.. Howells,
in the making of this book, has picked
up the things that were at hand-a
chance street adventure. a casual
friendship aboard ship, a something
that greeted him from a shop window
or came out from a bench in the park
to solicit the use of his kindly i'm
agination. The romance of life looks
sketches. Ordinary and unnoticed
things take on color and glow and Sc
duction under the insight and SYM
pathy and divination of this great
with Mr. Howells. in the between
whites of urgent things, for catch at
his seasoned way of thinking, his at
titude of responsiveness and leisure. his
mellow judgment of human beings. for
these things this is a charming and
desirable book.

In People Like That Kate Lang

than ordinarily attractive, and. to be
sure again, she makes a more than or

ship for the shop girls aud the fruit
vendors and the other picturesque hui
manity of that quarter. Despite these
numerous labels and tags of down
town, this is not a SUM story. 1t is
love story, in which cambridge Heath
spends some time seeing how people

whose main issue hinges upon a GER
