THE OKLAHOMA DAILY SUNDAY JAN 28 1923
57 KINDS OF BUGS ARE EXHIBITED
IN LIBRARY ARE ABLE TO EAT FISH
' m
Museum Specimens Are Moved From
Basement of Monnet Hall to v
Library Building '
Like sand shifting out of a small
knock ed-tog(thcr box university mu
eeum specimens under the guardianship
of Edward Crabh instructor in zoo!
ogy invariably leak out of the small
overcrowded storeroom in the basement
of the law building
Formerly the museum specimens were
exhibited in cases in the Administration
building and later in various other build
ings on the campus but now all of the
museum talons have been clipped cx
cept one which stretches around the
glass case on the second floor of the
library
Few but varied and interesting have
been the specimens exhibited there but
when the contents of the case were
changed a short time ago penny side
shows lost their reputation in Norman
and Louis Barton's Adventures of the
Twins assumed a more realistic atmos-
phere The 58 forms of insects from four dif-
ferent Continents which now spread
their freak it ings in cotton-stuffed boxes
in the case' are due to the efforts of
Kirk Rice second year medical student
HI Reno who arranged them in the case
Bugs Eat Fish
and identified them
Bugs resembling somewhat a huge lo-
cus and capablg of living both in and
out of water and large and spry enough
to catch kill and eat a fish three Inches
in length are among the oddities on ex-
h:btion in the glass tent These go un-
der the repulsive name of lcthocetv
but people who do not wear a degree
after their name call them simply giant
water bugs from Venezuela
If the honor system stretched to in-
fect life the student council would ha :
to expel its Own members for copying
Mimicry is what the scientists cull i
ol4 women havj bt?n known To call
'hem “copy cats" At any rate there

are two butterflies in the case that so
closely resemble the leaves of some tro-
pical vegetation that they turn crisp in
autumn
Furnish Fish Balt
One descendant of the principles of
Tom Sawyer as he viewed the giant
moth in the case which stretches its
wings full of eight inches- from tip
to -tip explained how he used to use
the small -moths that flicker around
street lights at night to fish with One
of the big South American moths would
undoubtedly save an entire nights work
of collecting the night before one got
ready to go fishing
All the colors of the rainbow in
sizes from pygmies to giants with var-
ieties from scorpians to alligator beetles
and from countries from the West In-
dies to the Celebes Islands and Celyon
come the specimens Small Oklahoma
forms and huge tropical forms ofthe
same genus are shown in comparison
Among these is a painted lady typical
to tropical regions as' well as the cam-
pus of the university
Darling Underwing Too
The darling underwing is another
form on display It is not known just
what the natives were thinking about
when they named this but it must have
some significance Wouldn’t it be a
bad name for a cootie as an American
legioneer said
The only caution Rice gives in viewing
the collection is not to take the names
to seriously
Leo H Gorton former student in the
university who is now in South America
donated the Venezuelan insects on dis-
play He received his B S degree iit
1913 and is now construction engineer
for the Caribbean Petroleum corpora-
tion in Maracaibo South America

NEW ACCESSORIES ARE THE THING

You may prefer not to choose your Spring nos'tunies at this early date but surely

gauzy thing that comes just to the tip of your nose Gloves in one of the new tan shades
that wrinkle fashionably about your wrists Hosiery that makes slim ankles look slim-
mer still above new strapped slippers and a Handbag one of the new ones of paisley
