S 3 SCIENCE AT WORK New Ybrk (U.R) People who think nature is wasteful should ponder her tight economy in Livoneca convexa which be gins life as a male but ends it as a female, thereby eliminating any need for more than one kind of individual. L. C. comes in a number of varieties, including the pill bug and sow .hug. Scientific interest in the family has been increased recently by new knowledge of its 'sea-going member. Livoneca convexa Richardson which is a tiny bug with a lot of legs. L. C. R. begins life in the gill of a fish. Here it matures in a strictly masculine way, sustain ing himself by eating the flesh of his host. Then, one day, his hormones change chemically and L.C.R. changes with them into a female. She has an idea he never had. It is to move from the. gill to the mouth where she shares her host's meals as they are consum ed. The more the fish eats, the bigger becomes the fish. And the bigger the fish, the bigger the female L.C.R.'s found in its mouth. 200 Captives L. C. R. was all but unknown animal until last year. One was captured in the Pacific off Pan ama in 1885. In 1906, 21 years later, Dr. R. E. Richardson de scribed that one speciman and it acquired its scientific name, L. C. Richardson. There knowledge rested until scientists of the University of California's Scripps Institution of Oceanography began exam ining the fish with which Pacific Ocean tuna fishermen bait tuna. They discovered that one kind of bait fish was especially attrac tive to L.C.R. Now they have more than 200 captured L.CR.'s, some male and some female, in varying stages of development. It's all very exciting. For one thing, the scientists may find out how nature went about evolving such an efficient creature. Other scientists at the ocean ography institution have found out an interesting quirk of a rel ative . of ' the L.C.R. namely the gribble, which is as destruc tive an animal in ocean waters as the termite is on land. The gribble can eat away pilings and wooden ship bottoms at a phen omenal rate. Two hundred thou sand of them can eat nine pounds of wood in a year. Since they come by the millions usual ly, you can see their capabilities. The scientists have discovered By DELOS SMITH United Preu Science Editor that only at night do gribbles swarm out of their burrows in water-soaked and rotten wood, looking for new worlds to con sume new pilings, new wood en ship bottoms. Robert J. Menzies discovered their odd working hours. Why they are night workers, he does not know as yet. The gribble in fests all oceans, but its numbers and energies are much greater in the warm seas. The oceanographers of Col umbia University's Lamont Geo logical Observatory have used a clam-like fish that has been ex tinct for some 100,000,000 years to . establish the "no-younger-than" age of the island of Ber muda. . In samples of the ocean bottom off Bermuda they found fossils of this creature, known scientif ically as Inoceramus. Bermuda is the top of a long extinct vol cano. It is surrounded by an un derwater "plateau" covered by relatively shallow water. Inocer amus inhabited shallow water only. Therefore, the finding of fossils shows that the plateau was relatively shallow 100,000, 000 years ago which shows that Bermuda is rfo younger than that.
