The first oil next week the Baltl-

crusade against the boat house people
who live on their ground at Benwood
Junction. The company heretofore
have pair no attention to the boats be
ing on their premises, but here OF late
have gone so far as to stake off good
sized lois and planted gardens. 9th
ers keep cows, pigs end horses and
have no rent to pay, so the company
intends to make them vacate. The
order for such action was received by
Special Detective John Shorts this
week, and yesterday be was at Mounds

The law in a case of This kind is so
strict that only twelve hours notice
to vacate is speclded and it means
hat these people will have to hunt
other quarters. Many CT the Leafs are
high out of the water. and as lie B. &

to say what will be done with the
property 1t can also be said that
there are a fairly good class Of people
living in the boats in the vicinity of
the Loop" as it is called, and the b.
& O. taking action in the matter at
this late date causes considerable of a

WASP AS AN ENGINEER.


Several members of the United
States engineer corps were interested
witnesses of feat of insect engineer
ing near the road on which they were
working. One of their number found
a blue ground wasp dragging along
the ground a dead swamp spider one
quarter the size of full-grown taran-
tula. Whether the wasp killed the
spider or found it dead is question be-
yond solution. He was having a hard
time dragging his prey along, and pres
entity left it to go prospecting for his
abode. The discoverer of the WASP
called his companions, and one OF them
in coming stepped upon the wasp's
groundhole, crushing down some
blades of dry grass across It. This
caused no little trouble to the insect,
who, upon locating the hole, nipped
away at the obstructing stalks with
his strong mandibles unit. he had
cleared a passage. Then he went back
and sized up the spider, walking around
the big body and surveying it from all
sides.
Hes reckoning that the hole isn't
big enough" said one Of the engineers
"That's all right; he'll fix it," said
another, as the insect went back and
commenced vigorously widening the
entrance to his domicile.
Again he returned to the spider.
seized ii and dragged il within foot
of the orifice. To the spectators 1t was
evident that more work would have to
be done before the spider could be
dragged in. This struck the wasp, too,
for again he ran around the body, cx-
amining il carefully, and returned to
the hole to take measurements. He
went to digging second time. Hav-
irg dug for two minutes he brought
lis prey to the edge of the hole, nipped
out a piece of dirt here, cut away
grass stem there. and after Is minutes
of hard and skillfu1 labor disappeared
underground, dragging the spider
after him, doubtless TO form the
piece de resistance in winter store
house. The engineers then resumed
their work, exchanging comments
