THE TIGER OF THE Air. few DAYS
ago, remarks the Trenton Gozette, we
saw two large winged insects fall strug-
Cling from the air upon the top of the
canvass awning in front Of our office
window. Upon closer inspection they
turned out to be hornet and locust.
The hornet had stricken its prey as il
was flying through the air, and it had
given it u mortal wound for it died nj
most instantly. In few moments the
hornet lugged its rather unwieldly game
to the edge Of the canvas and then sail
ed slowly and heavily off with it, The
hornet appears to be constantly on the
alert for the familiar sound of the locust
flying through the air, and darts upon
and stings its prey with fatal ferocity -
When struck the locust utters u sharp,
short cry, familiar to those who have
witnessed their encounters. The hornet
has its nest and rears its young in the
earth, each pair having separate round
hole leading from the surface to the den
below. To these retreats the hornet bears
the dead body of the locust, where it and
its young feed upon it. In the yard of
Mr.. w. G.. Cook, in State street, there
is a colony Of these hornets, the ground
being perforated with nearly a hundred
holes, each Of which is large enough 10
