Little Change Seen
In Insects Over Last
220,000,000 Years
Br DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Now that
spring is in full bloom and peo
ple are energetically "extermi
nating" insects, it may relax
people to learn that the insects
have been around for at least
220,000,000 years. People have
been around for only 1,000,000
years or so.
Furthermore, if a mosquito or
a beetle or a fly or ant of today
should meet up with a mosquito,
beetle, fly or ant of 25,000,000
years ago, he'd have to recognize
him as a brother, but if a man
met up with a man of 1,000,000
years ago, he'd run in fright
from such a monster.
Dr. Reginald D. Manwell, pro
fessor of zoology, Syracuse Uni
versity, and an authority on the
"insect Pompeii" near Floris
sant, Colo., indicated that peo
ple have no call for being stuffy
toward insects. He reserved
judgment on who was going to
exterminate whom in the long
run.
Carcasses Fossilized
This "Pompeii" occurred just
about 25,000,000 years ago. The
earth was heaving up the Rocky
Mountains. A series of volcanic
explosions produced the dust
which snuffed out the lives of
uncountable myraids of insects,
and a fortuitous series of cir
cumstances fossilized their car
cases in shale.
The same kind of thing hap
pened around Mount Vesuvius in
79 A.D. but it was the city of
Pompeii and its inhabitants
which were buried and pre
served to satisfy the curiosity
of those who came later. At
Florissant, Manwell and other
scientists have found out about
the insects of, as Manwell put it,
"a time so long ago that we can
not even call it a forgotten
epoch."
A startling thing is that the
insects then were very much
like the insects now indeed,
you can go so far as to say many
of them were identical. "Not
only have insects apparently
undergone little structural
change in many millions of
years," said Prof. Manwell in a
publication of the American As
sociation for the Advancement
of Science, "but also their habits,
at least in many cases, remain
much the same.
Man Not Around
Man wasn't around then, of
course, since he then was some
24.000,000 years in the future.
But man is a mammal and the
mammals who were around are
now in the main extinct and
those which are not extinct, have
evolved into very different
forms.
The coal-forming period of
time which ended 220,000,000
years ago has left indisputable
evidence of how long insects
have been around. But life itself,
the professor said, "is a kind of
clock and, like all clocks, refers
only to the present, but has
meaning only in terms of the
past, since the future cannot be
known.
"What time may hold in store
Dead line Sunday Classified is at
noon Saturday. 1 a.m. Monday for
Monday: other days 5:30 orevious dav.
for the insect world, for, mam
mals, or even for man, the rec
ords of past ages only hint."
Around
Hollywood
By ALINE MOSBY
' United Press Correspondent
(Editor's note: Aline Mosby is on
vacation. Actor Kirk Douglas wrote
guest column on how actors are all
really kids at heart.)
By KIRK DOUGLAS
Written for the United Proof
Hollywood (U.R) I believe
that whatever success an actor
or actress achieves in motion
pictures is attributable to the
fact they never quite grew up.
In my opinion, the convincing
performance, intimately project
ed on the screen, comes directly
from the performer's ability to
sublimate his real-life personal
ity into the character he is called
upon to portray.
I feel whatever success I have
achieved is due to the fact I've
never quite grown up that I
still have the same faculty a kid
has in playing cops and robbers,
or cowboys and Indians to
forget I'm playing a part and to
actually feel that I AM the per
son the script calls for.
Take an average adult busin
ess man and say to him:
"We'd like you to grow a
beard, dress up in a short skirt,
and go running all over the Ital
ian countryside with a bow and
arrow and a spear and play
Ulysses."
I guarantee you, he'd blush a
little, stammer & polite refusal
and then probably get pretty
mad that you'd even ask him to
do such a thing.
xet wnen paramount ap
proached me to play the title
role in "Ulysses" opposite Sil
vana Mangano, the kid in me
made me jump at the chance.
Here was a chance to portray
one of the great heroes of the
world's literary history; a chance
to swashbuckle all over the place
to fight a giant, to battle the
elements at sea, to sack the city
of Troy and to make movie
love to a couple of beautiful wo
men.
Well, what actor could refuse
such an opportunity any more
than one of my young sons could
refuse a chance to put on a cow
boy hat and his six-gun cap pis
tols and go galloping out of the
house to play cowboy.
And playing the part gave me
deep satisfaction because for
weeks I had to live and be the
great Greek warrior. Vicariously
I obtained the same thrill Ulys
ses himself must have felt at the
successful conclusion of his her
oic deeds.
To me it is a wonderful thing
to be able to do this aside
from the fact that it has made
me a handsome living as an act
or.
I loved playing the role, just
as a kid gets a kick out of shout
ing "Bang, Bang," and slaying
an imaginary redskin. I believ
ed I was Ulysses just as the kid
thoroughly believes he is Davey
Crockett when he puts on a
coon-skin cap.
