NfcAR THfc SHORES OF LAKE LAVOM
Sees Continents
As Puzzle Parts
COLLEOE STATION, Tex.
— Countless school
teachers have told their pupils
that the coastlines of North
and South America match the
coastlines of Africa and they
might fit together like pieces
of a giant Jigsaw puzzle.
Navy oceanographer Robert
S. Dletz now believes the coast-
lines definitely rlo fit, and ba on
his theory of the formation of
continents on this fact.
Speaking before students in
the National Science Founda-
tion program at Texas A <Si M
College, Diet/, opposed conven-

tlonal geological theory and said
the earth's continents are the
true crust of the earth and the
the continents are drifting
apart.
Conventional theory holds
that the ocean bottom Is the
crust of the earth and the con-
tinents are only outcropplngs of
this crust. The steady cooling
and shrinking of the earth
caused the crust to buckle,
forming these outcropplngs.
Dietz believes the North and
South American continents were
moved away from each other
along with the ocean floor by
forces in the earth's mantle.
He predicted that because the
sea floor is therefore relatively
young, drillers In "Project Mo-
hole" will not find muii in
the way of fossil history of the
earth in the drill cores from the
ocean bottom
In Project Moholc, the U 8.
plans to drill three miles Into
the ocean bottom and take core
samples from below the earth's
crust.
Dletz said there Is scientific
evidence that the earth's contl-
lents have not always been fixed
In their present position*. Part
of this evidence he said is that
the African coastline fits that
if North and South America
Further, he said, re-earcheis
have discovered that the iiim;-
netlc orientation of rocks In
Australia, Antarctica unci the
southern regions of South
America ar.ci Africa indicate
these land masses were once
much closer tnaether.

Insect Bites
Cause Varying
Poison Ills
Arthropod envenornizatioil is a
technical plir.is. meaning injury
produced by the bites or stings of,
or contact with, certain kinds of
insects and insect-relatives such
as spiders, scorpions, ticks, and
mites.
Such injuries, or n ns .ary
from person to person and ae
the results of toxin or poison nam-
ing entry to the body. They range
from mild responses to .he toxin
i venom i to severe allergic reac-
tions and death
In recent years more and more
individuals have shown moderate
to severe to fatal reactions as a
direct result of a ■ stiii •> and
bites causing this public health
problem to take on added interest
among physicians and scientists,
Death caused by insect stings is
not new. An ancient Egyptian rul-
er, King Menes, died of a wasp
or hornet sting in 2M2 B.C. Sensi-
tivity to bee stings was reported
in the United States in lllll
A study of 215 human deaths
from venemous animals reported
from the United States in the five
year period 1950 :>4 revealed that
40 per cent were caused by in-
sects of the order Hymenoptera
• bees, wasps, yellow jackets, hor-
nets, and nits i
Poisonous nakes accounted for
33 per cent, spiders, scorpions,
and other venemous animals ac-
counted for 27 per cent.
When the data are rearranged
to eliminate deaths from snake-
bites, about HO per cent of the
remaining 14-1 deaths were caured
b\ wasps, bees, hornets, and their
i elatives
During 1958-61, 4fi Texans died
ar a result of envenomization.
Snake bites accounted for about
two deaths per year except dur-
ing 19fi0 when nine fatalities re-
sulted from this cause
Ar a result of repeated expo-
sure to the slings or bites of cer-
tain arthropods, individuals m a y
develop an extreme sensitivity to
these venoms In such persons,
the sting or bite of a single arth-
ropod may suffice to cause a
severe allergic reaction and death.
Individuals who show severe re-
action.' to Insect poisons may be
desensitized by appropriate ined-
ica1 treatment 'A weekly feature
