Blood Never Impure

This is thought to account for the
! great activity of insects. Due to this
widespread circulation Of air through
out the body, the blood of the insect
! is never impure.
! The body Of the insect is divided
into three distinct regions. The first
is the head. The second is called the
thorax, and the third the abdomen.
The head bears a pair Of feelers or
antenae, compound eyes and three
/ pairs Of jaws
The thOrax consists Of three seq
ments out Of each of which usually
grows pair Of legs. A pair of wings
Is usually also attached to both the
second and third segments.
The ALLOTMENT is usually divided ND
into eight or nine seements.
Insects are Of vast importance In
the world because Of their great mum
Der.
Many biologists now feel that man
must fight insects for the possession
Of the world and that unless the de-
struction Of crops and forests by in.
scots Is checked. man may lose the
battle for the possession Of the earth.
War on Insects
That is why every civilized nation
today maintains a Department Of
Entomology as part Of its governmnt-
al organization. Il is the duty Of this
department to conduct the war upon
insects.

Man Must Fight for Possess
sion of Earth Against
100000 Species.
BY DAVID DIETZ
Science Editor Of The Times.

kCOpyTlSuL by OdNIQ IJ1elHJ
INSECTS represent a special and
highly developed branch of the
E-J Animal Kingdom. More than
1000 species of insects are known
to the biologist.
They are found in all parts of the
world Insects are found in the Arc
tic region and in the arid deserts.
The ancestry Of the insect is lost
in obscurity. They made their ap-
pearance upon earth millions of years
ago, in the Era of Ancient Life.
Many biologists believe that the
trilobites which dourished on the
ocean floor in the early days of the
Era Of Ancient Life furnished the
ancestral stock from which the in.
sects evolved.
Insects are typical winged crea-
lures. Their bodies are honey combed
with air tubes or tracheae by which
air is carried to the blood in all parts
OF the insect.

Dr.. Nikola Tesla confidently believes that
the time is almost at hand when. electric
power in large quantities can be trans
mittsd by radio. He Is engaged In ex'
perimenting along these lines, Had II not
been for the interruption Of the World
War, he might already have accomplished
this feat. Prior to the war, he erected at
Shorehain, Long Island, q huge steel
tower, from which high frequency cur
rents, generated In q power plant at its
base, were to be broadcast.
He believed that electric power could
not only be picked up by factories through
the agency of radio, but that Il could light
how distant, provided only they were
tuned to the proper wave-length. I'M
fortunately, because If the war, it was
necessary to dismantle the tower before
the experiments could be concluded, Only
two months ago, however, at Q general
scientific convention in Cincinnati, there
were shown small models of devices which
transmitted sufficient power to light ordi.
nary electric bulbs by wireless--so the
principle, at any rate, has been demon
strated practically,
Neither the use Of volcanic heat norl
the transmission of power by wireless
would be any more marvellous than other
inventions Of the past twenty years. The
combination would mean that one volcano,
like Ve6uvius or Lassan, one spot Of
volcanic territory like LardeFelIo or yell
lowstone National Park, could easily
furnish heat and power for an entire
nation, for thousands of cities and plants,
and might finally do away entirely with
the use of coal and other fuel.
And now Sir Charles Parsons proposes
that, instead of merely using volcanic
steam, men bore big tunnels, place their
boilers far beneath the surface Of the
earth, and utilize the volcanic heat direct,
In this connection DR.. Henry s. Wash,
ington, Of the U. S. Geophysic Laboratory,
is quoted as saying;
1.-THE utilization of subterranesn heat
for the generating of electric power is one
of the most important achievements of
modern engineering. In my belief, it is
only question of time when the energy
of active or partly active volcanoes will
be generally harnessed for industrial
purposes"

In order to put the new plans to =
practical test near Vesuvius, it may be
necessary to sink the boilers only few
hundred feet beneath the surface. In the
event that the experiment is successful,
similar undertakings will be essayed at
greater depths in the United States and
other countries.
The chief volcanic territory in the
United States is the line that follows the
Western Pacific coast, and at the northern
end comes as far inland as the hot springs

piped upward to huge turbine engines,
which in turn would operate electrical
plants from which light and power could
be distributed by wire--or perhaps by
wireless--over many miles of territory.
The first great experiments may be
made on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius,
which is ideally suited for such an under
taking. This great volcano, just across
the bay from Naples. is still active-but
not dangerous, SO far as ordinary human
foresight can judge.

feeted, the big volcanoes of the world,
like Vesuvius and Lassen, would in them
selves suffice to supply heat and power to
the entire globe. Since it could be trans
mitted anywhere-oveE mountains, across
oceans, and even to ships at seattle
locations of the stations would be unim-
be in the immediate vicinity of the biz
volcanoes, where it would be necessary
to dig only little distance to tap the

Leighton Street
Barn Destroyed
BY Fire, Loss $1,000

Fire destroyed a small barn owned
by William Levine and Frank VOL
man adjoining the Eden Inn on
Leighton street at 11.30 last night.
The loss was estimated at $4,000,
$500 for the building and $500 for
furniture owned by E. B. Dunbar,
stored on the first floor. Three auto
mobiles which were in an adjoining
garage were saved.
Several persons evidently discov-
cred the fire at about the same time.
Wallace Roderick, who was working
in the post office, saw the blaze about
1l.2O and rushed to the fire station
and awakened the firemen. Before
they could pull the station box some
one rung in Box 1872 at the corner
of Front and Union streets.
The two auto trucks went down to
Box 1872 but the Hose No. wagon
went to the hydrant at the corner of
Main and Temple streets and laid
n line. The tvs trucks came back
quickly and two more lines were
laid. With three streams playing
the blaze was put out in short time
but not until the barn had practical
ly burned to the ground.
The garage containing sedans own
ed by Frank and William Smith and
Frank Robinson adjoins the barns
so closely that the back wall was
burning when the cars were rolled
out. One stream directed at this
wall quickly stopped this part of the
fire.
