INTOXICATED WASPS.
Their Sting, According to a Scientist, II
firulent and Painful.

Their sung, according TO Sclentist, -
Virulent and Painful.
Concerning his observations of wasps
which are addicted to the use of intoxi-
eating liquors, Lawson TAFT relates the
following:
Il have been watching the wasps with
great interest and have noticed the
uyidity with which they attack certain
fruit when fully ripe, rotting in fact, and
l have noticed some of the peculiar re-
suits of their doing so. The sugar in
some fruits which are most attacked by
wasps has tendency to pass into
kind or kinds of alcohol in the ordinary
process of rotting, a fact which is easily
ascertained by the use of still not
large enough to attract the attention CT
the excise authorities. On such fruits,
particularly grapes and certain plums,
you will see wasps pushing and fighting
in numbers much larger than can be
accommodated, and you will see them
get very drunk, crawl away in a semi
somnolent condition, and repose in the
grass for some time, till they get over
the bout and then they will go at it
again. 1t is while they are thus affected
that they do their worst singing, both
in the virulent nature of the stroke and
the utterly unprovoked assaults Of
which they are guilty. 1 was stung last
year by drunken wasp, and suffered
severely from symptoms of nerve poison
for several days. In such drunken
peculiarities they resemble their human
contemporaries -Registered Pharma-

self-Ignition of Cotton Waste.

The self-ignition of cotton waste has
recently been made the subject of care
full experiment. A small amount of the
common waste was saturated with lin
seed oil, wrung out and inclosed in q
wooden box into which was fitted a
thermometer. Shortly afterward the
temperature in the box, which was ten
degrees centigrade at the commence
ment of the experiment, rose to 173 de-
grees centigrade and the contents COM
menced to smoke. On opening the box
the contents burst into flame.

Our Ailments.

There is something humiliating in
the fact that we all-unless we are un.
usual persons, as some Of us doubtless
are-love to talk about our ailments.
An invalid often seems to find her chief
Joy in retailing to sympathizing friends
all her symptoms. The truth is that
our i'll health is of no interest to any
one besides those who love us, and we
may weary even them by talking over
our ailments. While mental anguish is
often eased by talking 1t out" bodily
pain is never banished by moaning over
it. To fret over pain that must be
borne is childish. To suffer and be
strong--and therefore silent-is sub
lime.-Harper's Bazaar.

secondary storage Batterx.

A new secondary storage battery has
been patented for locomotive purposes,
in which the liquor forming the cleo
trolyte, while having free access to the
plates, is contained in a suitable alb
sorbcnt to prevent the free movement
OF such electrolyte. This corresponds
in second batteries to what is known as
the dry battery in primary cells.

shrInks Out of Sight.

The sea cucumber, one of the curious
jelly bodies that inhabit the ocean, can
practically efface himself when in
danger by squeezing the water out of
his body, and forcing himself into a
narrow crack--so narrow as not to be
visible to the naked eye. He can throw
out nearly the whole of his inside, and
yet live and grow it again.

Driving Fruit by Electricity.

1t is suggested that the drying of
fruit, which requires great care and a
certain regulation of the temperature,
offers a promising field for electric heat
ing. Fuel for heating by steam is
often expensive, but fruit districts
usually have abundant water power
that could be used for driving dynamos.
The electric current would prove sert-
iceable in a variety of ways in addition

BRACE FOR CARPENTERS.

Novel Attempt to Secure simplicity ana

Lum Woodruff, carpenter of long
expe rience, residing in Fairview, Tex.
believes that the various methods of
holding bit in brace now in use are
all open to objections of one sort or I'm
other. He therefore proposes new
plan. His mechanism is all inclosed in
a cylinder, which has channel running
around its interior nearly half way be-
tween the ends. This groove affords .
scat for projection on each of the four
arms or jaws, SO that they can rock. A
conical plug or cam, forced inward by
turning screw, causes these arms to
separate from each other at one end,
and approach at the other end, at which
latter point they grasp the bit shank.
When the cam is withdrawn, the arms
rock in the opposite manner under in

in the edge of this diaphragm to accom-

for his scheme is that the bit is held

and positive action.-N. Y. Tribune.
