cylindrical cavity, three-eights of an

laid, and the end then closed. This
process was then repeated until six
cells had been completed in like man

ell and bctook itself to other fields Of
labor. Yesterday the nest was re-
moved, and was found to contain larve

the full-grown chrysalis in the cocoon
to the young Larvae just Matched. There
were three larvte partly changed to the

false clue, found on the morning of the
second day, caused the search to take

to be those OF little negro child, who

the child had fallen into the pond near
