HOW

VARIOUS INSECTS CARRY
ON BIG INDUSTRIES -
Every living creature is at work
performing chemical reactions
and carrying on extensive chemi-
cal industries, Albert Parsons
Sachs writes in the New York
Mail. Every living creature is
constantly taking its food and
converting 1t into its own body
substance, replacing wear and
providing growth. Many of our
materials for the arts anu sci
ences are the products of living
creatures. The labors of insects.

usefulness TO us in one way or
another are pretty well known.
but the materials which they
produce valuable for commercial
use are hardly ever considered.
The bee is our best-known
worker. 1t produces not only
honey. which is the sugar leyu-
lose in particularly palatable
form. but also beeswax.
The lac insect produces in the
foliage of the trees on which it
feels a material which reaches
us as shellac, so widely used
in varnishes, phonograph rec
ords and electrical insulation. I.
The cochineal insect is used
for the manufacture of the dye
cochineal, and its compound with
aluminium is known as carmine.
The sting Of certain insects
produces gals" on various trees
which are the source of part of
the tannin of commerce.
Spiders webs have found use
as cross-hairs for optical instru-
ments and for a dressing to stop
the flow of blood from wounds.
The largest insect industry is
the manufacture of silk. The
total amount of silk and silk
products imported into our coun-
try in the year 1919-1soO ex-
ceeded 50,0O0,00O pounds and
was valued at more than $780,

tive of the product of the silks

the fact that we used more than
half of the worlds production of
silk in 1919-192O.
