INSECT MARvELs.
What the Hop Aphis Unchecked Would
Do In One Year.

WHAT SnO TOP Apnt9 OncnOckoo W00l0
Do IN One Year.
Few persons. writes James auckland
in report Of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, realize how enormous is the num-
Der Of insect species or how amazing
is their power Of multiplication. The
number Of insect species is greater by
far than that of the species of all other
living creatures combined. More than
100000 have been described. and prob
ably twice that number remain to be
examined. Virtually all living animals,
as we'll as most plants. supply food for
these incompatible hordes. The fecun-
dity Of certain insect forms is astound-
ing.
Riley once computed that the progeny
Of the hop aphis. which sees thirteen
generations born to it in single year,
would, If unchecked to the end Of the
twelfth generation, multiply to the in
conceivable number of ten sextillions
Of individuals. Supplementing that cal
culation. Forbush says that IL this
brood were marshaled in line, ten to
the inch, it would extend to a point so
sunk in the profundity of space that
light from the head Of the procession,
travelling at the rate of $4,000 miles a
second. would take $500 years to reach
the earth.
Kirkland has computed that in eight
years the progeny Of one pair Of gypsy
moths could destroy all the foliage in
the United States. A Canadian ento-
mologist declares that in one season
the descendants Of pair Of potato
bugs would. If unchecked, number 60
100000.
The voracity of insects is almost as
astounding as their power Of reproduc-
ton. The daily ration in leaves Of q
caterpillar is equal to twice it's own
weight. If horse were to eat as much
he would require ton of hay every
twenty-four hours. Forbush says that
a certain flesh eating larva will con-
sumo in twenty-four hours 200 times
its original weight. A human child. to
do as we'll, would have to eat in the
first day Of it's life 1900 pounds of beef.
Trouvelot, who made special study
of the subject, atirms that the food
taken by single silkworm in fifty-six
days equals $4,000 times it's original
weight at Matching. What destruction
this one insect would cause if even a
one-hundredth part Of its eggs ever
Matched! The facts show how great is
the value to man Of the insect eating
birds. ~

WINGS OF A BIRD.
Compared to Them Flying Machine
Planes Are but TOYS,

comparsd to Them Flying Machine
Planes Are but Toys.
Although the bird traveller has no
trunk to- pack, guidebook to study or
ticket to buy, still he must make some
preparations: for the journey. ~.,s
The warbler, which nests in Alaska
and passes the winter: in northern
South America, should not begin an
5000 mile voyage through the air over
mountains, plains and seas unless its
engine is in good order and it has a
proper supply Of fuel.
But" you ask, what is birds en-
CINE. and where does it carry fuel?''
A. birds engine is really its wings
and the muscles which move them. 1t
is one of the most perfect engines in
the world. 1t is simple. but strong. 1t
works easily. but it is powerful and
rarely gets out Of order.
For many years man tried to make
flying machines which should have
wings like those" Of birds. But he never
succeeded. He could not make even a
feather! Finally he discovered that If
he would make q machine that would
fly he must give # wings and an en-
CINE. So he constructed an aeroplane.
which has wide. stiff wings, or planes"
measuring about thirty feet from tip to
tip. These wings cannot be tapped,
and in themselves they furnish no pow
er. But to them man added an engine
driven by gasoline and electricity. This
engine turns a. long bladed propeller,
which urges tfts aeroplane forward,
while the planes support 1t when IT Is
in motion.
But a"bird's:WfD9, We must remem-
Der. Is both plane and engine. 1t gives
support as we'll Is power. 1t - there
fore a far more remarkable machine
than the one. made BY man.-Fr1pk n.

There Is too much worth while that is

I'd like to be rich, there is pleasure

And gives you a chance to be nice to

I'd like to be rich, but I'd never be
To pay such a price as some men do
for gold
The cost is too high and the pace is
too killing,
And too many things must be bartered

To Darker Hair
Apply Sage Tea
A few applications Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur brings back its vigor,
color gloss and youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur added. will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a
few applications will prove a revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
50-cent bottle of Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addition
of other ingredients.
While WHISKY, gray. faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darknening your hair with
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound no one can tell, because it does
it so naturally, so evenly. Just
dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disap-
peared, and, after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is delightful

the cure, mitigation or prevention Of
