10000 SPECIES OF
INSECTS IN WORLD
MOST OF THESE RESIDE IN
TREES. 100000 DIFFERENT
KINDS OF BEETLES.

LONDON, Eng.-Apropos OF the
overwhelming war between MANKIND
and insects, remarks writer in The
Daily Mail" there are reckoned to b(
five times as many kinds OF insects a:
there are species of all other living
things put together.
Seventy years ago the number o.
species OF insects preserved in collec'
tions was about 10000.
Today it is estimated that there are
100000 sorts, and that without count
ing the parasitic creatures.
In Europe alone there are 5oO,0Ot
species.
Most insects live on trees or plants
There are known to be $50 sorts
which make their home in oak trees
and about 200 in the pine. VI beetles
alone the varieties exceed 100000.
The colonies of social insects con-
tain enormous populations, those OF
ants and termites being the largest
Some years ago a well known scient-
ist took an exact census OF hve ant
hills. His method was rather dreadful
for before counting he was obliged to
kill all the inhabitants with poison gas,
The dead, carefully counted num-
bered respectively: 53,0l8, 64,4IO, ~
1873, 1904, 1898. Adding ten thous-
and to the biggest of these ant cities
to account for absent and escaped
ants we have population OF well
over 100000
AS for white ants, or termites, some
of their great hills must Iontdin mil
lions of inhabitants.
A strong hive of bees will number
10000 individual insects. A queen bee
is supposed to lay about million
and half Of eggs during her lifetime
OF four or five years.
Wasps' nests are much less populous
than those of bees. The number rare
Nv exceeds 1000 Individuals But these,
remember are all produced from one
queen in the short space OF an Eng
fish summer.
Hornets nests are still smaller. -Four
hundred is about the outside popula-
ton of a hornets nest, and 200 would
be more like the average.
Which is, perhaps, just as well, Tor
while the wasp has its good points
such, for instance, as the fact that 1t
kills files-the hornet has none.
1t is a murderer, a drunkard, d
thief, even cannibal And its sting is
serious matter.
Come to such creatures as house
flies and aphides and insect arithmetic
becomes paralyzing in its immensely.
Professor Howard, of Washington has
calculated that a single female fly
might in one season, become the an
cestress of 4,472,286, 103, 628,713,559,
800 flies.
Such figures mean so little that the
only way OF explaining is to say that
there would not be room on our planet
for such multitude.
The aphis is at least equally pro-
ductive, for the descendants OF one in
sect may, in only the fifth generation
number 5000 millions.

ENTOMBED IN ICE
BERG 1000 YEARS
BODY OF VIKING IS PERFECT
LY PRESERVED. BELIEVED
TO BE RED ERIC.

The body of Viking ruler, l,OOO
years old, standing upright in huge
iceberg, has returned to civilization
after drifting for at least ten centuries
through the ice-blocked seas III the
barren Arctic regions. Preserved more
perfectly than any body ever uncover
ed in mystic Egypt, the giant Morse
man was discovered by Danish doc
tors staring out at them from his troz-
en- winding sheet on the east coast OF
Greenland.
The BODY OF the Viking found by
the Danish men of medicine lowered
seven feet tall. He was clad IN rude
ancient armor, gripping spear ana
shield, with his head crowned with the
winged helmet of Morse royalty.
Standing sternly in his transparent
tomb OF ice this warrior OF another
dav was an incredible phantom OF
Morse legendry.
Skin Was White and Firm
When the ice had been chopped
awav from the giant body the Viking
stood unravaged by time. The SKIN
was white and firm instead OF dried
and shrunken, and the head and chm
were covered with hair that was long
and red and silky.
A ship now is bearing the body OF
the one-time Viking king OF Copen-
hagen. where skilled scientists will be
called to perpetuate, If possible, the
process of preservation by the mice
ton of chemicals. The body will be
nlaced in the Copenhagen museum II
ha
the body as it was Kept in the chilling
embrace of the iceberg.
Upon the discovery of the Viking
body an expedition was dispatched
from Copenhagen to Greenland to eX-
cavate the iceberg in which the age
old king was found This expedition
has sent back word that seven other
bodies, as untouched by the years as
the first, have been dug from the
mammoth cake OF ice.
