THE AMAZING VALUE
OF BIRDS TO MAN
Among the zoological articles in the
kSmithsoninu annual report is one on
the value of birds to man, in which
the author, Mr. James Buckland, of
London, makes the astunding state
ment that, although man imagines
himself tho dominant power of the
earth, he is nothing of the sort, the
true lord of the universe being the
insects.
Although man has attained predom
inance over the most fierce and power
ful animals and most deadly reptiles,
lie and his works would be of little
avail before an attack of insects,
which include a greater number of
species than all other living creatures
combined. Some 300,000 species have
been described, while possibly twice
that numbur still remain unknown.
The author says that these incom
putable hordes feed on nearly all liv
ing animals and particularly all
plants, and multiply prodigious num
bers iu an incredible short time. Com
putations show that one species de
veloping thirteen generations a year
would, if unchecked to the twelfth
generation, multiply to ten sex-tillions
of individuals, while a single pair of
the well known gypsy moths, if un
checked, would produce in eight years
enough progeny to destroy all tho
foliage of the United States.
One pair of potato bugs would de
velop, unchecked 60,000.000 in a single
season, at which rate of multiplication
the potato plant would not long sur
vive.
Insects are quite as astounding in
their consuming qualities as in their
rate of increase. A caterpillar eats
twice its weight in leaves a' day, and
in proportion a horse would consume
a ton of hay in twenty-four hours.
Certain flesh eating larve consume
200 times their original weight in
twenty-four hours.
It is reported by a specialist that
the food taken by a silk worm in
fifty-six days equals 36,000 times
its original weight. All of which facts
show what tremendous destruction in
sects may cause.
Through its predominating insect
diet, and on account of its exceedingly
rapid diges*ion, the bird becomes v
most indispensible balancing force of
nature; without its assistance man,
with his poisons, the weather amt ani
mals, as well as the parasitic preda
ceous insects, would be helpless. The
author then states how the bird is
a benefit to man in a great nnnil—
of ways; in checking insect invasions,
in preserving forests and orchards;
their service in the meadows and gard
ens; their value in protecting live
stock and their usefulness in the
preservation of health and elimina
tion of disease.
