THE TARANTULA'S ENEMY.
A Wasp That Never Fails to Kill the
Deadly Insect.

Notwithstanding all the tarantula's
great courage and pugnacity, there
is one enemy the sound of whose
coming throws it into paroxysms of
fear. This enemy of which 1t has
such an instructive dread is large
wasp known as the 'Tarantula.
killer" 1t has bright blue tody
nearly two inches long and wings
OF golden hue. AS it flies here and
there in the sunlight, glittering like
q fash of fire, one moment resting
on leaf, the next on granite
boulder, it keeps up an incessant
buzzing, which is caused by the
vibration of it's wings. No sooner
docs the tarantula hear this than he
trembles with fear, for well he knows
the fate in store for him when once
his mortal foe perceives his where
abouts. This it soon does, and
hastens to the attack.
At first it Is content with flying in
circles over It's intended victim.
Gradually 1t approaches nearer and
nearer. At last, when 1t is within a
few inches, the tarantula rises upon
its hind legs and attempts tograpple
with its foe, but without success.
Like fash the giant wasp is on it's
back. The deadly fangs have been
avoided. The next instant a fearful
sting penetrates deep into the
spiders body. It's struggles almost
cease. A sudden paralysis creeps
over it and it staggers helpless like q
drunken man, first to one side, then
to the other. These symptoms,
however, are only of short duration.
While they last the wasp, but few
inches away, awaits the result; nor
does 1t have to wait long. A few
seconds and all sign Of life has dis
appeared from the tarantula; the
once powerful legs curl up beneath
it's body, and 1t rolls over dend.
Then takes place one OF those
strange incidents which illustrate the
perfect adaptation to circumstances
everywhere 80 remarkable in the
economy of the insect world. The
wasp seizes hold of the now PROSTATE
spider, and with little apparent effort
drags 1t to hole In the ground.
Therein It completely buries 1t with
earth, after having first deposited In
ito back an egg, which In course of
time changes into grub, and lives
upon the carcass upon which IL was
born. This grub In . short while

On the sweet world Of the blossomA
When the blithe winds to and fro
Dock the softly tinted cradles
Where the fruited orchards grow.
All the breexes waiting perfume
Ger wide fields of drifting snow.
Snow of summer and Of flowers.
Not the flakes OF feathery chill
Once that filed the sleeping hollows.
Rounded out each watching hill;
Snow OF summer and of flowers,
Acres of 1t, where you will.
Hidden deep among the petals.
Even from eyes that love her best,
Many patient little mother
Broods beneath her beating breast
Wings and songs that wait their rapture
When they futter from the nest
oh the white world of the blossoms.
Where the sweet winds to and fro
Softly, softly. rock the cradles
Swinging high, and swinging low.
Cradles Of the fruited orchards
In the blossoms tinted snow.

Failure or Success in Farming.

Mr.. George Husman, the veteran
horticulturist, writes from Napa,
Cal, that he is satisfied, after a long
experience in horticultural and agri-
cultural pursuits, checkered with
success and failure, that life spent
on small farm, with industry, fore
sight and business tact. Is the most
peaceful and at the same time the
most contenting occupation anyone
can follow, as well rs the most health
ful for body and soul. Even in Califor-
MIA, where everything grows and sue
ceeds, failures have been numerous
because people have rushed into grow
ing one or two things on large scale,
could not give them proper attention
at the right time, or dispose OF the
crop to advantage when ready for
market. The successes have been

The revival of trade after the long
stagnation which followed in the
wake of the Crusades was responsible
for many fantastic procession freaks
in the larger towns Of western Europe.
For an instance, we are told that in
the Councillors professions, which
took place ut Nuremberg in 14S7, the
bakers of the town exhibited loaf
of bread weighing !, 141 pounds, and
that in the same procession cheese
maker exhibited star-shaped cheese
which put three horses on their metal
to pull it through the streets
mounted on a goodly dray. The
old account further says that this
bread and cheese, which was
distributed free Of charge among
the merrymakers, WAS dinner suffi-
cient for upward OF 5000 persons. A"
In the New Years procession OF
Konigsberg in 1858 bologna sausage
exhibited by the "butchermen" was
622 feet in length and was carried on
the shoulders OF sixty-seven men and
boys. The one exhibited in the same
city in the year 1888 was over /. 600
feet in length and weighed 434 pounds.
But the giant Of oil sausages, and
perhaps the largest thing Of the kind
evev made, was exhibited by the
Konigsberg butchers on New Years
day in 1901, when they paraded the
streets with bologna $3.50 feet in
length and weighing nearly 1000
pounds. 1t was carried on the shout
ders of 1877 men, the first and last in
the column each having it wound
around their necks.

In her tanning and skin dressing
work the savage woman's problem
was to remove the dermis from the
hide, and leave the hair adhering to
the epidermis, with only thin pro-
portion Of the true skin. II the work
were creditably done the surface OF
the robe, frequently more than
thirty square feet in extent, had to
be uniform in thickness throughout,
and she should not cut through the
epidermis once. The whole must be
as pliable, too, as wooden blanket ;
the problem was to reduce q hide OF
various thickness and twice too thick
everywhere to q robe OF uniform
thickness throughout without once
cutting through the outer part OF
the skin. Her tools for this varied
with the locality. The Eskimo women
scrape of the fat with special tool
made OF walrus. ivory or bone and
plane down the dermis with q stone
scraper. The Indian women cut of
bits OF meat and fat and remove the
dermis with a hoe or adze.
In the SOOu ola days OF Savagery the
Eskimo woman made her fat scraper
Of walrus ivory or antler; her skin
scraper was Of flinty stone set in O
handle Of ivory. wood, or horn,
whichever material was easiest to
procure. But later on. it may be,
the whalers helped her with steel
tools. The Indian woman had three
tools, to wit: the stone knife for cut
ting away the flesh; the hoe shaped
scraper for splitting the skin, and the
grainer, hoe or chisel like tool with
serrated edge to roughen up the in
ner side Of the robe and give it fiexi-
bility. Beside these, both Eskimo
and Indian had hands and feet and
teeth for pulling and pounding and
breaking the grain. They had also a
wonderful supply Of pride in their
work, and love OF applause, which
kept them up to the mark of doing
the best that could be done with
their resources.

AN Industry which was introduced
into Georgia before the Revolution
airy war, and which languished and
finally died because the times were
unfavorable, IL once more gaining
foothold there with prospect OF
success under the better conditions
which now prevail. The culture OF
the silk worm, which was first intro
duced in Gen. Oglethorpe's early
colony, is now attracting the atten-
ton Of many amateur culturists In
Georgia. and IL finding its best con-
ditions in Savannah and the country
adjacent. The people Of this section
are looking about for new avenues OF
investment and employment, and
the experiments In silk culture are
the natural results of this new spirit
of enterprise. 1t Is found that the
climate is especially suited. No ar
tificial heat Is required to hatch the
eggs. They mature naturally on the
approach OF warm weather, and the
young worms begin to eat, just al
their natural food, the leaves Of the
mulberry and Usage orange, have be-
gun to grow. So it seems that ma
ture has especially adapted this eli
mate for the culture of silk. Exper'
iments which are being carried on in
Savannah are watched with interest
by many who are noting that the ex-
pense Of raising the silk cocoons is
small, while the product is worth
about 35 cents q pound in the mar
ket. 1t is quite probable that the
industry under the favorable condi-
tions that now seem to exist will
grow to important proportions and
become part Of the recognized COM
MERGE of Georgia.

Becomes another tarantula wasp.
thus adding one more to the ranks
of the enemy of the spider race.
The amount OF slaughter which
these large wasps infilct upon the
tarantulas IL almost incredible, and
1t Is noticed that those to which the
! greatest destruction is due are the
females. 1t can only be realized
when It IL known that though the
female deposits but one egg In each
spider, she has q large number to
get rid OF. each one Of which she
provides with home. and its grub
with future sustenance at the expense
Of the life of q spider. From the
powerful character OF the tarantula
wasp's sting 1t may be inferred that
they are dangerous to human beings.
But this is not so. 1t never aRnoys
them unless teased. Without q
doubt 1t Is mans friend, not his
enemy, and much would jewellers in
Mexico regret its absence were 1t de-
stroyed.
