A singular battle was witnessed
recently in an English apiary. A hive
of bees was besieged by large swarm
of wasps. The bees made valiant sor-
ties to try to drive away the besieg-
ers, and the wasps made furious as
saults to drive out the bees. The
battle ragged for two days, at the end
of which time the bees evacuated
the hive and the wasps took posses

masters of the hive, and are reveling
in the store of twenty pounds of
honey which the bees had gathered

There is market for. spiders. The
insects are sold by the hundreds, the
prices ranging from so cents to IS
cents, and the buyers are small firms
of wine merchants. These merchants
stock their cellars with new, freshly
labeled wine, sprinkle dust upon the
bins and admit the spiders, who
weave their webs from cork to cork.
The cobwebs naturally lead the Gus
toners to believe that the wine has
been stored for years, and higher
prices are obtained.

In the production of common
watch-glasses the glass is blown into
a sphere about meter in diameter,
sufficient material being taken to
give the desired thickness, as the case
may be. Discs are then cut out from
this sphere with the aid of pair of
compasses, having diamond at the
extremity of one leg. There is a
knack in detaching the disc after it
has been cut. A good workman
will, it is said, cut 5000 glasses in q
