BUG POWER
(By Wickes Wambo'.dt)
The rolled up force of an oft-re
peated act, no matter how tiny and
insignificant, is stupendous. Great
things can be accomplished by the
smallest sort of organism if it stays
on the job. The tiny coral insect can
build a structure that will defy th*
mighty force of the ocean. These lit
tle creatures, scarcely noticeable to
the naked eye, each adding its tiny
effort to that of its fellows, rear
great and impregnable reefs whjfh
are the backbones of islands, penin
sulas and possibly continents. The
state of Florida virtually rests on
the back of a coral bug.
There is a case on record where
a swarm of mosquitoes stopped a
train. It was on an up-grade thru
a swamp and the collected on the
rails in such quantities that the huge
driving wheels slipped and spun im
potently.
The sand-fly is a minute thing, a
little bigger than the point of a pin,
but he has a bite like a horse. A cat
tle man told me he saw a swarm of
theBe kill a great bull. They simply
overwhelmed him*
There is a tiny beetle in California
which, by keeping everlastingly at
it, bores holes through sheathing
metal that gets in its way.
In some countries ants carry away
bit by bit, the beams and underpin
nings of houses.
It is a great object lesson these lit
tle creatures give us. We do not
credit them with any intelligence
We say that whatever impels them
is entirely instinct; and certainly
their individual strength as compared
to that of a mans is absolutely neg
ligible. They have no brain and they
have no muscle and yet they show
us what staying on the job without
letting up will accomplish.
The bee does what to the uninitia
ted would appear an impossible thing
He collects vast stores of a delight
ful sweet by picking out almost in
visible particles from flowers. He is
referred to as “the busy bee.” He
probably received this cognomen be
cause he makes, a good deal of fuss
about his work and the impression
has gone out that he works about all
the time that he can see. Consequent
ly as an example he has not been
very popular.
It has been proven by observation,
however, that the bee accomplishes
his task without killing himself
working. He actually puts in eight
hours a day and the rest of the time
he crawls around the hive, flirty with
the‘queen bee, stings people, and de
ports himself in such ways as may
afford him relaxation.
, Studying the lives of. great men
is inspirational. But we dp not need
to study the lives of men for inspir
ation; we can get this from studying
the lives of bugs.
