FOOD FOR YOUNG WASPS.

The wasp is not a vegetarian like
before her the problem OF supporting
her young with meat rather than with
bread. AS her eggs are laid out in
hot weather, and as enough food must
be stored in the cell with the egg to
mature the young insect, the question
is how to preserve the meat fresh for
so long a time She meets the diff
Guilty thus: After a tube is finished
except one end, which is left open, she
flies off on a hunt for spiders. She
finds fat, healthy one, pounces upon
it, stings it and carries it off and places
it in the mud cell. She repeats this
process until she has placed as many
spiders in the tube as, according to her
judgment, will be needed She then
lays an egg in the cell and walls up
the opening.
The remarkable thing about this
performance is the magic effect of her
sting. Whether it is the result of a
subtle poison or whether it is a special
spot in the spiders nervous system
AS1 z IlIS SIIuS 10 luSC1 CSu we uO uOI
know. Certain it is that after being
thus stung the spider lives on in a
paralyzed condition for weeks and
even months. 1t can move only slight
ly and remains helpless in it's mud
sepulcher until the wasp egg matches
into a voracious grub, which at once
falls to and eats with great relish the
meat thus miraculously preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the
spider insensible to pain OF not is a
| question not yet settled. However,
| the chances are in favor Of the theory
that it does. Anyway, we need waste
no sympathy on the spider, the most
| bloodthirsty of all the little people OF
! the fields and woods. There is a sense
Of retributive justice in the thought OF

CHINESE LABOR IN PHILIPPINES.
Americans Now There Consider 1t Nee
eSSary.

RounsevilIe Wildman, ne American
consul-general in Hong Kong, states
in an official report that practically no
progress can be made in the develop
ment of the natural resources of the
Philippines until the Chinses exclusion
laws are removed. Broadly speaking.
he says: There is not an industry in
the islands that will not be ruined if
Chinese labor is not permitted Con-
sui Wildman has expressed the feeling
of all who have been in this part Of the
world-there is only one kind of labor
that succeeds, and that is Chinese
Many Americans will naturally be very
unwilling to look at this matter in this
light, because their own country is
country in which white men can do
manual labor, and they have, therefore
a strong feeling against the competi-
ton of an inferior race. Chinese labor
is therefore excluded in accordance
with the will Of the people Of the coun-
try, as it is also in Australia, but
tropical countries cannot depend upon
white labor; the white man cannot do
in this country what he can do at
home. Then it becomes necessary 10

Now the people of the country are
not sufficient. They are content with

money if it means that they will have

relatively, of course, not that they do
not work at all, but that they do an
| absolute minimum instead Of voIuntar

example, no native ever goes to the
trouble Of taking lot Of merchandise
on his shoulders and hawking it around
the country. 1t is too much trouble
for the Filipino, and. therefore, as far

HOW THE BEAVER BUILDS HIS
HOUSE.

The beavers habit Of building for
himself and family a comfortable and
conspicuous residence enables the
hunters TO take a pretty accurate
census of the population, and to tell
just where the animals are to be
found. On our way we turned aside
and photographed beaver-dam and
a house. The natural history books
generally picture these costructions as
quite symmetrical affairs, but all I
have ever seen have been rough piles
of sticks and mud. and the photographs
show typical beaver construction

CHAPTER xxx.


You thought you had escaped me,
said the count as soon as they We're
alone. How foolish and blind you
are, my lady! You cannot fly from
your fate"
so begin to perceive" she replied
coldly. She might dread the danger
but, face to face with it, Lady Lynne
was no coward.
81 shall not repeat all I said before, "
he continued. Il never change,-my
purposes are inf1exible. I am Lere to
marry your sister, by your help and
aid. Unless you give that to me, and
use your influence to such good pur-
pose as to persuade her to accept me,
[ shall tell all I know to Lord Lynne,
and claim you and your fortune from
him."
Then, in reality, my fate lies in my
sisters words, not yours" she re-
piled. eff she accepts you, am saved ;
if she refuses you, am lost. So be it.
l would rather take death from her
hands than life from yours"
There was a dreary pathos in her
tone that might have moved heart of
iron.
BE reasonable, Inez," he said more
gently, ''and you will have nothing to
fear. l shall not wait long in sus-
pense. This very evening you must
begin the work I have given you to
do"
eff I tell you it is all in vain," she
replied, that Agatha loves some one
else, and that her lover is here in
Rome, what shall you say or do?"
"Nothing," he replied with a grim,
inflexible smile. eff that be the case,
you will have perhaps a harder task
than I expected. But you will sue
coed; she will never resist your per-
suasions."
Count Rinaldo," said Lady Lynne,
gently, will nothing but this content
you? Must my sister be sacrificed?
Is there no one else in the wide world
you can seek?"
NO" he replied; cit is your sister,
and no one else, l want"
q have pleaded with you for the
last time she said, haughtily. 'My
doom is fixed. [ shall not ask for
mercy or compassion"
That is something like common
sense, Inez," he returned, more cheer
fully; now we shall do; | thought
you would see wisdom at last"
She looked at him for a moment, in
utter wonder that he could mistake her
meaning SO entirely. He WINGED be-
fore the calm scorn of that beautiful
face, and then Lord Lynne, who had
joined them, claimed his attention. He
was unfeignedly glad to see the
courteous Italian again; he welcomed
him warmly, and gave him press
ing invitation to visit frequently at
the PalaZZo Giorni. Agatha received
him with a marked GOODNESS that did
not escape her sisters notice.
I'VE are quite Fortunate" said Lord
Lynne, lin meeting so many Of our
friends. Some country neighbors of
ours are in Rome now, or will be here
soon, Leighs. You will like them,
count, very much; they are old
friends of ours
Count Rinaldo declared he should
be charmed to meet any friends OF
Lord Lynne's. They left the gardens
together, and he drove home with
them, when Lord Lynne invited him to
spend the remainder of the evening
Lady Lynne has been very ILL.,
he said; cit was on account of her
delicate health that we left London sc
suddenly; she is much better now
and cheerful society will do her good

A tright-eyed squirrel sat

The nest was in hollow limb,
And his children snug in bed.
He was doing a problem DER and DER,
Busily thinking was ne
How many nuts Ior his winters store
Could he hide in the hollow tree.
He sat so still on the swaying bough
You might have thought him asleep.

And down the tree he ran.

Steel Mills Unable to Get out Material for
the New wRrships.


WARRINGTON. Sept 25.-Nntional prosperity
is making the Navy Department very unhappy
these days. Those officials who are imme-
diately concerned in the construction and out
fitting OF new warships arc willing to have a
little less prosperity. Nearly every firm that
obtained contract for building torpedo boats or
torpedo boat dsstroyers recently asked the De-
partment to extend the limit within which Its
special vessel or vessels must be finished. The
Naval Board on Construction has decided that
these requests need not be passed on now. and
that they may not be taken up for considera-
tion until the time for the com mpletion OF each
torpedo craft approaches. Then. II the plea
now made is stll applicable. the extensions
will be granted.
The contractors all hold the prevailing pros
perty accountable for the delay They say
that the steel mills are working overtime. and
yet cannot get out the material needed for the
construction OF the little vessels. The steel
companies. they say. have told them that no
deliveries can be made under six months

1t is feared, however. that the prevailing pros

delay in making contracts may occur. Another
cause, for worry among the naval 9hicials Is
that the price OF Krupp armor abroad has ad
