Science

Insects constitute one Of the great
est dangers to man. Yet even insects
have their uses. They fertilize flower
ing plants by carrying the pollen from
one blossom to another.
Darwin demonstrated the value Of
certain insects to plants. In one ex-
pertinent he took a number of heads
of clover, which he covered with
muslin so that air and sunlight got In,
but insects were kept out. He took an
equal number of heads without any
covering. From the first he got not
single seed. From the second he
obtained thousands. These latter had
been visited by bees. which fortified
them with pollen.
On the other hand the increase Of
insects has been so great Of late years
that they constitute the chief danger
Of overturning what is called the
balance of nature" whereby all
species are kept In proper proportions.
Outside of scientific efforts. the main
hope in keeping down the numbers of
insects lies in insect eating birds.
Without them, 1t is probable that
within ten years insects would con
quer the earth and exterminate man.

The largest whale shark of which
there are definite measurements was
thirty eight feet and inches long and
weighed close to thirteen tons These
sharks are peaceful, harmless and
sluggish. They have enormous
mouths, capable of engulfing an en-

animals by means of fine mesh net
formed by long, fine gill rakers. The

The public expects a thorough in
vestigauon of conditions at the State
farm following the illness Of 100 pris-
cners said to have been caused by
drinking dirty and contaminated milk.
From time to time there have come
stories of insanitary conditions there,
including the serving of food unfit for
human consumption. These stories
have been promptly denied by those
in charge of the place and branded
as the lying tales of revengeful pris-
oners. But the stories have persisted
and they have been repeated by nu-
nerous men after having bsen dis
charged.
The taxpayers of Indiana do not
expect the farm prisoners to be
served with solid silver tableware,
pure linen tablecloths and cut glass
drinking vessels, but humanity de.
mands that the men be given good.
