Insects' Existence
a Precarious One
C. H. Curran Tells of Con-
tinuous Savage Warfare
. in the Canal Zone
Speed Does Not Save Them
The eternal struggle for exietenee
or a race of insects of peculiar shapes
and habits in a region .of the Panama
Canal Zone is described by C. if. Cur-
ran, assistant curator of tuned life at
at the American Museum, in a recent
article in Natural History, Journal of
the institution. The article, called
"Some Insects from Barro Colorado,"
gives a graphic account of how the
insects kill and in turn fall prey to
enemies in their struggle for life.
"In no part of the world Is the
eternal struggle for existence so ohvl-
•ous as in the tropical regions," says
Mr. Curran. "There animals and
plants are engaged in continual war-
fare, and even thtesasual observer in
the wooded region, o'r 'jungle' cannot
fail to be impressed by the rapidity
with which death swoops down upon
the ever -watchful inhabitants of the
.'underworld.' No animal 1s safe; no
plant is secure. In the case of all
living things, enemies are awaiting
the opportunity to destroy that they
themselves may live. The mighty
'giants of the forest are brought to
earth by the ravages of insects, fungi
and wind; the larger animals succumb`
to others of greater or less skill, which.
possess the advantage of being able
to make surprise attacks.
"Among animals, the insects very
greatly exceed in point of numbersstructuro, To this Zetek has aptly

that they are bizarre in appearance
have formed the basis df a great many
papers dealing with tropical forma. As.
a result of this, the opinion prevails
that the 'tropic's are full of weiid'six-
legged creatures which may be re -
cured in almost countless numbers.

be exceptionally well repaid could he
find three or four creatures se bizarre.
as to attract more than usual atten-
tion. It will be gathered from this
that bizarre forms are rare, and this la
indeed the case. Many insects of
strange structures are quite small, tCltd
it is only when they have beet:.ex-
amined under a powerful microscope
that their peculiarities become strik-
ingly apparent.
They Wait in Ambush
"Assassins are numerous in the in-
sect world. Many entire families of
insects prey upon others, pouncing
upon their victims after a stealthy
approach.
"On many of the very low shrubs
which spring up ou the trails there
rests an assassin ever alert, turning
its head this way and that in search
of some flying insect which would fur-
nish
urnish a much-needed meal. These
assassin flies, or robber flies, as they
are usually called, though they never
rob anything but life, are extremely
strong, and an insect, unless it be of
much larger size than the would-be
murderer, has little chance of, escap-
fug from the. clutching legs of the
aggressor. Some of them live aimed
entirely upon, bees, in some unaccount-
able manner escaping the searching
sting as the, bee fights for its lite,
"Among the assassin bugs is a Peon -
liar creature in whose hind legs the
Itibiae have become expanded into an
e and yellowish mottled leaf -like
and plants in their neighborhood, but
they war uppn one another. If any
analysis were made, therefore, it
would bo found that they have, in re-
ality, many more enemies than any
'other one group of the animal king-
dom. P
"Since they are so prayed upon and
'their lives aro so precarious, it Is not
surprising to learn that insects secure
;protection in many ways. As a rule
'they are unable to defend themselves,
'and once fairly in the grasp of an
enemy, they are doomed to destruc-
tion. Since they are weak defensive-
' ly, how do they escape their euemlea?
Is it by speed or by concealment?
"Speed seemingly plays but a small

the diseases reach the epidemic stage
and then certain species may be all
but wiped out.
"Parasites attack almost all of the
larger insects, and perhaps also most
of the small ones. Caterpillars are
occasionally observed struggling along
on. their dying legs, too weak, almost,
to move, bearing on their baelcs- sev-
eral white cocoons of a hymenopterous
parasite. As a rule the parasite does
not reach maturity and emerge uutll
the caterpillar 1s dead, but some of
them do emerge before and leave the
host free to oontine feeding, although
no adult butterfly or moth will later
develop from the caterpillar. Parasit-
ism is a study full of interest and
teeming with remarkable relationships
between host and parasite. Very little

Cornwallis, founder of the City of Halifax, in front of the Canadian Na-
tional Railways' hotel, "The Nova Scotian"; in that city, which will be
unveiled on the city's natal day, June 21st, this year, Cornwallis was born
in Loudon in 1713, the sixth son of Baron Cornwallis and Lady Charlotte
Butler. He was sent by the iinpertal Government to establish a settle-
ment and military stronghold in Nova Scotia on the cite of the present
city of Halifax and he arrived in the harbor with 1200 settlers, mostly dis-
banded soldiers and sailors, on June 21st, 1749, He immediately set about
the task of founding the city and succeeded in doing so in the face of strong
opposition from the Indians and the French. Sentries had to be posted
on the outskirts and armed parties sent out with the pioneers to cut the
timber for building the log huts. The table around which he formed the
first provisional government in. 1749 on board one of the warships which
brought the settlers to Halifax, is located in the Legislative Building,
Halifax, the oldest existing parliament building itt the British Empire, and
It was at this table that, Canada's new Governor General, the Earl of Bess -
borough, was sworn in, In 1752, on account of his health giving out, Corn-
wallis resigned and, returned to England, afterwards becoming a member
of Parliament for Westminster. Ile went to Gibraltar as Governor lu 1762
and died there in 1776, being buried at Milford Parish Church, near BurY,
St. Edmunds. He served also as a member of Parliament before he was
sent to found the City of Halifax. The monument was designed by the
noted sculptor Massey Rbind.—Photo, Canadian National .Railways.

Surgeon Declares Drug

which is simetimes raised as to ,
whether or not drug addicts are worth

Cumming of tiro Vatted States Public
Health Service recently stated that
drug addict prisoners who have com-
mitted offenses against the 'United
States and who are no longer taking
drugs, show, according to prellmtnary
studies of the Public Health Service,
a greater proportion of above average
intelligence titan is observed among
non-adtilct prisoners.
Among the drug addicts studied
thirty in every one hundred were
above average in intelligence, whereas
eighteen in every one hundred pris-
oners not addicted to the use of drugs
were above the average in intelli-
gence. On the other hand, seventeen
in every oto hundred drug addict
prisoners were considered to be nor-
mal but of dull intelligence, whereas
one to every ten addict prisoners were
mentally defective.
