THE SAND WASP.
Ingenious Manner In which This In
sect Uses "a Hammer.


The deliberate use Of a tool by n lit
Tie sand wasp might well be supposed
to Indicate reasoning power, says an
exchange. A well known naturalist,
Or. Pcckham, watched n wasp dig a
bole In the earth ana deposit therein
nm egg, together with spider which
she had stung into paralysis TO feel
the grub which should be hatchcd I'm
due course. Then she filed up the hoie
with sand or earth and jammed it
down with her head.
When at last the filling was level
with the ground she brought guam
tity Of fine grains Of dirt TO the spot,
picked up n small pebble in her mandi-
bles and used 1t as hammer in pound
ing them down with rapid strokes, thus
making this spot as hard and firm as
the surrounding surface. Before we
could recover from our astonishment
at this performance she had dropped
her stone and was bringing more earth.
In moment we saw her pick mp the
pebble and again pound the earth into
place with It, Once more the whole
process was repeated, and then the lit
tie creatures flew away.
The whole Of this performance"
writes Sir Herbert Maxwell in Memo
ries of the Months" "is so unexpected
that even Or. Peckham's high reputa-
ton rs a scrupulous observer might
fail 10 convince skeptics that he had
not been deceived, but similar behavior
on the part of a wasp Of the same spe-
cies has been recorded independently
by DIR. Williston of Kansas univer
sity"

There are several ways I'm which two

Ovid taught young women when writ

milk as ink. This when dried is invis-

upon the paper the writing becomes
lcgibc. Ansonlus adopted this method
when writing To pauinus.

solutions of nitrate and chloride of

the writing disappears and leaves the
paper blank again. Saltpeter dissolved
In water and equal parts of sulphate of

water are two good invisible inks.
There are also some inks which are
invisible when dry, but visible when
moistened with another liquid. Thus
solution of murlate of antlmouy
washed with tincture of gals becomes
yellow, green vtriol ink washed with
the same solution turns black. nitrate

BARBAROUS ENGINES.

Use In England.
We were reminded the other day Of
some of the incidents of country life
of former years by the Offering for
sale at London auction mart of a
couple of man traps. These engines
were once upon a time part of the
chattels Of well nigh every considera-
BILE landowner and every energetic
gamekeeper Another implement was
the spring gun, which turned on a
swivel and discharged itself MS soon as
one OF the connecting wires was stun
blCd against the muz2lc of the gun
turning i'm the direction of the tres
passcr rs indicated by the wire the
guilty party generally receiving coat
ing of pitch If of nothing worse. The
man traps sold the other day were
probably the first some of the attend
ants at the sale ever saw and were OF
the old formidable pattern-that is 10
say, they rescmbled glorifed gin.
They measured seventy-four inches
long and were just about three feet in
height, so that they would catch a
poacher well above the knee, and once
nippCd there he would remain till his
cries or the ordinary round of the
keepers led at once TO his release and
capture. The spring gun gave its
alarm. and watchers were speedily in
attendance. There was something very
barbarous about the use Of these en-
gincs, which were not SO very long ago
