Insects Seen as Man's Conquerors on Earth Oakland, Calif.—Humans and in- sects face a death grapple for the mastery of the earth, with the condi- tions of warfare favoring the insects. Dr. L. 0. Howard, Chief of the bureau of entomology, United States Dept. of Agriculture, said this in an address at the tenth annual conven- tion of the Pacific division, American Association for the Advancement of Science, "If human beings are to continue to exist," he said, "they must first gain mastery over insects. Life may develop into a struggle between mail and insects for the mastery of the earth. Insects in this country con- tinually nullify the labor of 1,000,000 men, "Insects are better equipped to oc- cupy the earth than are humans, hav- ing been on the earth for 50,000,000 years, which the human race is but 600,000 years old." — Sonne snakes in captivity have been known to go over a year without eat- ing anything. of ng 8,500 rural women's institutes here, Lady Demnan said that thio vement new has 221,000 members, and had become an essential part of the national system of adult education.

London.—A subterranean passage has been discovered in Weybridge, in Surrey, where the old Palace of Henry VIII stood in the sixteenth century. The passage points in the direction of the Thames and Hampton Court, King Henry's ether palace; which still is the most famous show -place -in the vicinity of London. It is thought the passage connected the!wo royal palaces and was used, for purposes not revealed by history. The distance from Weybridge to Hampton Court is about six miles. There is also an ancient cellar, and both, this and the passage are surmounted by neatly chiseled arches, These discoveries have revived ru- mors concerning a buried treasure be- longii.g to one of Henry VIII's wives, Anne of Cleves. Jewels were stolen by a servant during her stay at Oatiands Palace, as it was called, and, when the thief was discoecred, were buried on the estate and nsver found. waterfront is complete and that a pub- lic announcement will be made by the corporation in this regard in the very near future.
