Instinct and Intelligence.

But must describe more fully one
case of instinct from the same family, which
is probably less familiar to you and yet no
less wonderful. I refer to the case of the
common mud-wasp or clay-dauber.
These insects do not form organized
communities, and therefore have no neu-
tiers or workers, but each female works
for herself. Neither does she feed her
young as do bees and other wasps, but
provides appropriate food in abundance,
and leaves them to themselves. But the
mode of building her cells and supplying
the appropriate food exhibits marvellous
wisdom. She gathers wet clay in pellets
about the size of duck.shot and COM
mences to build. Going and coming from
her clay-quarry to her work, with great
patience, industry and skill, she builds two
or three cells side by side, two or three
inches long and about half an inch in
diameter. When finished she proceeds to
fill them with food. For this purpose she
attacks all varieties of spiders, stings
them, plunging her sting with the greatest
precision directly into the principal nerve
ganglion, and, after laying an egg in the
body of each, carries them off and packs
them away in the cells until they are CON-
pletely full, then seals them with clay and
leaves them. In due time the eggs are
Matched, the Larvae feed upon the spiders
until they become perfect insects and cut
their way out of the cells.
Observe, then, first, the walls of the cell
must be thin and composed of pofous ma
terials, otherwise the eggs could not hatch,
nor the Larvae continue to live, for the
want of oxygen; second, the spiders must
be helpless, but not dead. If they were
dead they would decompose or else dry
up before they could be used as food. If,
on the other hand, they were alive and
active, they would destroy each other and
the contained eggs, and perhaps escape
from the cell. But the poison is so adj
justed as to quantity, and probably as to
the place of insertion, as to produce a
state of complete helplessness, q deep and
permanent coma; the spiders are, as it
were, chloroforned by the poison. If
touched or irritated, they move only
enough to show that they are not dead.
As boy have many times watched these
wasps gathering their. materials, building
their cells, gathering their food-supply Of
spiders. have many times broken open
their finished cells and found them full of
spiders in the condition described. If one
desires to study spiders, he can gather
more varieties in one day by breaking
open the cells of mud-wasps than in a
year in any other way.-Prcf: Joseph La
Conts, IN Popular Science Monthly for
October.

In 1862, 1868 and 1864 Virginia City and
Bannock were tie Headquarters Of Henry
Plummer's noted band of highwaymen
and cut-throats. Plummer secured an APP
pointment as Sheriff and then made his
cut-throat lieutenants his deputies. For .
time this arrangement worked admirably
for the roughs, as they could rob and
murder with impunity. After they had
killed over 100 citizens, and plundered
stages, express shipments and private in
dividuals until no one felt safe or dared to
leave with or send money or dust out of

Cured to few resolute men that it was
time for change, and, quietly comforting

effected, including several hundred of the

Henry Plummer begged hard for his
life, asked to be chained down, offered to
leave the country for ever, and declared
that he was too wicked to die. Another,
John Wagner, said: "Cut off my arms
and legs and let me 60; you know I could

his cousins proposition, and packing
their clothes in q sachel they started
down the Monticello railroad on foot for
New York. To avoid attention they
started in their everyday clothes and
changed their attire after getting q short
way out of town. Their joint capital
for the journey was fifteen cents. To-
gether they trudged hopefully and brave
" along until the afternoon train over
took them at HARDWOOD, they having
walked nine miles of the 103 to New

The Clockmakers Of the Schwarzwald.

The first thing which a stranger does at
Furtwangen is to see the exhibition of
the Gewerbevereins, and at Freiberg the
Gewerbe Hall, open from May to October.
The latter is a wooden building of some
taste, where every variety of clock can be
seen which the ingenuity of the Schwarz-
,walaer can devise or his fingers execute.
Round the walls and on the tables are
clocks of every sort. Nearly all are of
wood, though here and there is q fragile
one of straw or ivory. The first which at
tracts attention is very fine specimen of
wood carving; the figures and design are
cut in limewood, and it stands two feet
high. The fingers and hours are of ivory.
The attendant puts 1t to two O'Clock, and
it forthwith plays melodious air, as of
the most delicate flutes. The next is still
larger, and as the hour strikes miniature
band plays "Die Wacht am Rhein." We
pass on to one made of beech and walnut.
the dark and light wood being charming.
" blended. As the fingers touch the
hour two helmeted trumpeters step out
and blow the reveille. Then there are
cuckoos which strike up at the hour and
thrushes who sing at the quarter; vener-
able monks standing beneath the belfry
ring the hour when midnight comes. The
automaton clock comes next, and we
watch atsort Of Pickwickian fat boy feed
himself with rolls till three has finished
striking. The taste and minuteness of
the carving in the largest or the smallest
point are very great; the regulator on the
pendulum Of the smallestclock represents,
perhaps, an oak-leaf, or some simple but
still graceful object Nor are more
methodical and. strengthening clocks
wanting; they are of every kind; they
will suit the kitchen or the boudoir.-Lon-
