OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


The deliberate use Of a tool by Q
little sandwasp might we'll be sup
posed to INDICATE reasoning power. A
well-known naturalist, DR.. Peckham
watched wasp dig hole in the earth
and deposit therein an egg, together
with a spider, which she had stune
into paralysis, to feed the grub which
should be Matched in due course. Then
she filled up the hole with sand OF
earth, and damned it down with hel
head.
"When at last the filling was level
with theground, she brought a quaint
ty Of fine grains of dirt to the spot
picked up a small pebble in her man
dibles, and used it as hammer in
pounding them down with rapid
strokes. thus making this spot as hard
and firm as the surrounding surface
Before we could recover from our as
tonishment at this performance, she
had dropped her stone and was bring.
ing more earth. In moment we saw
her pick up the pebble, and again
pound the earth into place with it.
Once more the whole process was re.
peated, and then the little creature
few away"
'"The whole of this performance, y
writes Sir Herbert Maxwell in Memo
ries Of the Months" sis SO unexpected
that even DR.. Peckham's high reputa-
ton as a scrupulous observer might
fail to convince skeptics that he had
not been deceived; but similar behavior
on the part Of wasp Of the same spe-
cies has been recorded independently
by DR.. Williston, of Kansas Universe
