MONEY IN WASPS.
The Way They Built Their Homes of Ben
eft to "a North Carolina Farmer.

The Way They Built Their Homes of Ben
eft to "a North Carolina Farmer.
Along the banks Of the Cape Fear
river, in North Carolina, are lowlands.
behind which lies a higher level, or
bench. The lowlands are subject to
more or less frequent overfows by
freshets. which are destructive to
crops planted therein. A number Of
years ago farmer, resident in the VI
cinty, made a very comfortable sum
Of money by insuring his neighbOrs'
crops against these freshets. His un-
varying success as an insurer was for
many years profound mystery to the
people of the region. The years when
he declined to insure were invariably
years of destructive overflow. The
years when he was willing to insure
were equally certain to be seasons or
exemption from disaster.
Observation had shown him that n
certain species of wasp. which built its
home in the ground, built some years
on the lowlands. and other years upon
the higher level. Experience taught
him that when the wasps built on the
lowlands there were no freshets, and
when they built on the higher ground,
the lower would, some time during the
season, be submerged. The man had
simply noted an instance of that little
understood prescience manifested by
certain insects and animals, a better
knowledge Of which might even be of
service to our national weather bureau.
1t was only at his death that he re-
vealed his secret.-New York Post.

HISTORY OF THE ISLAND.
The very next night Watchman
Jahn and two of his assistants set out
to unravel the mystery. They lay in
wait near the we'll until midnight
At that hour they were almost petri-
fed when they saw the forms of two
men clad in the costumes pirates at
feet hanging by the neck from the
pirates tree. When they recovered
from their fright the brave watchmen
scurried for their quarters as fast as
their legs could carry them, and have
not ventured out at night since.
One hundred years ago Ellis island
was known as Oyster island. Shortly
after the war of 1872 Captain Morgan,
an old sea dog, turned pirate and
committed many outrages in the bay
and on the coast. He was captured
after fierce struggle, and, with four
of his plratical crew, was hanged to
the pirates tree.
Nearly forty years later the motor.

deeds of lawlessness stirred up the
entire community, was hanged on the
same tree, IN the presence of 1000
