Insect Senses.

Naturalists have decided that many insects have senses which human beings lack. That of loca' tion, shown by the wasp, for in' stance, is remarkable. One spe. cies builds its nest in sandbank that is only a part of several acres of such soil, and when it leaves in search of food it covers the nest so carefully that no ordinary eye could discover it's location. That is to say it is just like all the sur. rounding location, and yet the wasp flies back to it without he's itation and finds it without mak. ing a mistake. There Is another wasp ttat unerringly locates the eggs of the mason bee under a thick layer of sun-baked clay, and deposits her eggs in the same cells that her young may have food when they are matched.

Another Big Fire at Havre

County Commissioner A. H. Reser,
who arrived this Tuesday morning
from Chinook, brought word that a
dis fire broke out at Havre just
before midnight, but when the west.
bound train left, about l O'Clock, it
was apparently under control.
The fire appears to have originated
in the Judd restaurant, at the corner
of Third street and Second avenue,
and threatened the entire block to the
north and west of that point. The de.
partment could do but little TO check
the danes, as the water supply was
deficient, but the progress of the fire
was blocked by pulling down some
frame buildings that were in its path
The buildings that were burned in
cluded the Judd restaurant, ST. Pau
hotel, Silver Dollar saloon, q barber
shop, w. f. Ryan saloon and several
others.
