Many writer's upon natural history.
following the observations of a French
naturalist, Monsieur Fabre, have dwelt
with admiration upon the skill and in
telligence or instinct of certain
wasps. which are represented as hav-
Ing the habit Of stinging caterpillars
at their nerve centers with such uner-
ring precision that the caterpillar Is
merely paralyzed; whereupOn the wasp
lays an egg within the body of the
caterpillar, and the young insect. on
emerging from the egg. finds living
food sufficient for its use until it is
ready to take flight. The careful re-
searches Of Dr.-and Mrs, Peckham of
Milwaukee indicate that the statement
Is so much exaggerated as to be yirtu-
ally untrue. Having seen the entire
process several times. from beginning
to end. they find that the wasp does
not sting invariably at such points as
indicate a knowledge Of the nerve CEN
ters, and that the caterpillar is merely
killed. and not paralyzed, by the sting.
Thus one of the "marvels of nature"
Is proved to be non-existent.

In northeastern Labrador A. p. Low
lns found a fresh-water lake, eight
hundred feet above sea level and one
hundred miles from salt water. which
is inhabited by seals. he thinks the
ancestors of these seals were imprison-
ed In a bay when the general surface
of Labrador rose after the glacial
epoch. Being thus cut of from the
sea, the water gradually became fresh,
while its Inhabitants accustomed them
selves to their new conditions Of life.
DR. Witt, the discoverer last summer

Harvard Observatory shows that the
new asteroid was photographed, with
out being recognized among the stars,
as early as 1893. 1t also appears on

euRL,NoToN'S MONSTER EN-
"a CINE.

Ht Il H. Xar9est Ever Built for
Passenger eervice.
Railroads, East and West, are not
competitive in theis equipments in any
sense; but the monster locomotive Of
the Boston and Albany Railroad, which
recently took the palm from old $500
Of the Empire State express. must re-
unQuish its place to a Western rival.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad has recently put into service
the two largest passenger engines ever
constructed. They will be used on the
Denver express and the fast mail
trains. These new giants. numbered
1891 and 1892, weigh just one ton more
than the Massachusetts wonder. One
hundred and twenty-seven tons each,
1000 pounds more than their Eastern
rival
Eastern railroads were in a nine
days wonderment over the Boston and
Albanys experiment. when locomo-
tive No. 221 thundered out Of Boston
n few weeks ago at 1O-mile sweep
for Springfield, the worlds record In
locomotives was exceeded. Without
any spirit Of competition and wholly
within the scope Of its needs. the Bur
tingtsn system has had to outdo the
New England hne.
Compared with the Boston and Al
bany's No. 221, the Burlington's No.
1891 shows more marked characters
tics than are to be guessed from the
total weight difference Of one ton. The
Albany's engine weighs 126 tons. and
the Burlington's 127 tons; the drivers
of the one are six feet tive inches, and
of the other seven feet and quarter of
an inch; No. 221 hauls a train weigh
Ing 80 tons and No. 1891 pulls one
weighing 81 tons; the compound cyl
lnders Of the one are 22xS4 inches and
of the other 23x26 inches; No. 221 car
r,es eight tons of coal and 4,5O0 gallons
of water; No. 1901 takes twelve tons
of coal and 5000 gallons of water; both
engines have the same steam pressure
of 22O pounds to the square inch.
This new mastodon Of the Burling-
toms is the Atlantic type, Vauclain
compound engine, with two cylinders
high and low pressure-On each side.
Its giant drivers, two on side, are
about midway between the back of the
cab and the froabof the pilot. Just be-
hind them is a trail-truck. with two
wheels 1--WE feet in diameter. Back of
these are the regulation trucks sup
porting the tender. Each Of the four
drive-wheels weighs 5000 pounds. and
makes about 24O revolutions to the
mile.
On its fjrst trip with the Denver
nyer No. 1891 pulled n solid vestibule
train Of two mail cars, one composite
library and smoking car, two sleeping
cars. a dining car and two reclining
chair cars-a load sixty-one tons in ex-

lovingly together up the stairs. As she
dismisses him at her owA door, Angus

"How will you find him, then?'
'Oh. I cannot mistake him. he is 50

Della laughs softly at the description.

smile. She little thinks it Is the last good
night that she viii have for many q long

University Rowing Races.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 26.-If the
day had been made for the occasion 1t
could not have been more favorable for
the four cared race between the crews
Of Cornell University and the Univer-
.sity Of Pennsylvania, and the eight
cared freshmen crews Of Columbia, Cor
nell and Pennsylvania, to be rowed at
5 and o'clock p. m. respectively, both
for two miles. In drawing for positions
the Cornell crew got first choice, and
was given the outside course nearest
the channel Of the river, which Ward,
of Pennsylvania, says has distinctive
advantage in ebb tide. Wisconsin got
the inside course, which Is so near the
bank that there Is sometimes back
swell. Pennsylvania got the course
next to Wisconsin, and Columbia next
to Cornell.
It is curious fact that Cornell al
ways had the luck to draw the outside
course, upon which they invariably
won.
Pennsylvania won the four-oared
race by two lengths over Cornell. Time
-11:08 3-5.
In the eight-oared freshman race
Cornell won by length; Columbia was
second, being four lengths ahead Of
Pennsylvania. Time-9:54 1-5.
