adopt this method of travel. So it

one of those "Smart Alecks" that

With that jeff sprang 10 his feet

him in pieces. Two Of them gathered
hold of him and about that time he
gave jerk at one side of his jacket

ENGLISH wASps.
As a Rule They Are Not Vicious and
Rarely Sting Each Other when
They Become Aggressive.

The common wasp. as a rule, keeps
its sting for self-defense, says the
london Spectator. 1t will bite a hy in
two with it's jaws If it gets in it's way
on a window pane, but it does not
use its sting even when trying to rob
a beehive, and tackled" by the bees.
The latter will push a wasp away
five or six times, hustling it off the
footboard, without provoking it to
sting. But if a bee endeavors to sting
the wasp, it then grapples with it
N stings back, killing or benumb-
ing the insect almost at once. Brit
ish wasps are fussy and excitable,
but not vicious, like many of the In
dian wild bees. However crowded
or uncomfortable they may be, they
very rarely quarrel with or sting
each other, as, for instance, when a
number are on the same window
pane, fretting and anxious to get
out. Only when the entrance to
their nest is threatened do they be.
come actively aggressive, and then as
a rule the attack is not begun till
the person who excites their fear in.
terposes between them and the en-.
trance to the nest. A setter dog was
noticed to turn and bite itself, within.
pering with pain, just as the party
were sitting down to a shooting
luncheon by the side of q wood in
Yorkshire. The dog, being tired, haG
lain down on the hole of a wasps
nest, and five OF six of the yellow in.
sects were singing it at once; but
they did not touch the persons sit.
