By means of a -toy coach and truck one student ,tested the pulling power of a bee. It very ably performed the tasks that he assigned it, and drew both the empty coach and the truck. The truck was gradually; loaded with plastieine until a weight of one hun- dred and sixty-six grains lead been added. The total weight of coach. truck, and load was six hundred and one grains. Sines the weight of the bee itself was exactly two grains; i' followed that the little creature was pulling a load slightly more than three hundred times its own weight. The inves'i,gator concluded, there- fore, that the pulling power of a bee is proportionately thirty times as great as the pulling power of a horse or a man even of the greatest strength. It appears, however, that even the extraordinary strength of the bee is insignificant when compared with the strength of the insect that was next tried—namely, the earwig. The investigator .,is'inclined to be- lieve that in proportion to its size the earwig is the most powa.riul of 'all insects. The earwig in question 'pulled the empty truck of one hundred and sev- enty eventy grains' weight with the utmost ease; and it also drew the little coach without difficulty. But when the roof was placed upon tate' coach the limit of the earwig's strength was reached, and it count move only very slowly and had to make frequent stops for rest; The weight of tite covered coach was ' two hundred and sixty-five grains, , and that of the earwig . was only half a grain; so that the insect was drawing about five hundred and thirty times its own weight. .Allowing forthe difference in size, the earwig« is some fifty-three times as strong as a horse or a man.
