Termites Faithful Workers By ARTHUR r.OHON WASHINOTON. Dec. I Proud people who trace their an ceatry to the Mayflower got rude Jolt today. A termite, who rarely give himself airs, can trace his ancestry back 360,000.000 years. This tidbit comes from the Smith soman Institution, which has Just completed cataloguing mi different aperies of termites. When It turned out that the cat logulng chore had been don by a department of agriculture man who has been studying the termite and ways to control It for 40 years, promptly called Dr. Thomas E Bnyder to find out what's new In the termite world. The answer Is. nothing much. Mleadv Work Termites have been calmly cnomping wood and developing complex social organisation for 30. 000.000 years. And their ancestors, Dr. Snyder said, go back 280.000, 000 years. Somewhere along th line.'' he said, ."the family split, and one group became the cockroach." Dr. Snyder haa a certain edmlra Uon tor the cockroach. ("He's very adaptable. He waa on earth long before man. and I suspect he'll be her long after we're gone.") But hi real love Is th termite. Intrigued Dr. 8nyder met up with the ter mite quit by accident. Some tele. phone pole had been damaged, and he went out to look at them. There he saw his first queen ter mite and he's been looking at ter mites ever since. In this country termites measure only a quarter of an Inch, with the winged adult measuring a half Inch. We got off lucky. "I have seen a tropical queen termite." said Snyder, "who was four and one halt Inches long and nearly two Inches In diameter." Trouble It has been during only the last few thousand of its 30.000.000 years mat the termite has given man any trouble. That's when man moved out of a coxy cave Into a house, and termites moved In to chew on the house. Dr. Snyder says there's one dlf ferenc between the ant and bee kings and the king termite. The ant and the bee kings die alter mating." he said. "The ter. mite king lives on. If you're going to be a king, a termite king much th beat proposition." I ald I'd keep that In mind.
