Has the Wasp Affection?
From Outing for Septembe'

A colony of wasps made a hest in the
dark room of studio last summer
AT first the party who used the room
did not relish their company-but for
certain reasons he did not modest them.
He paid no attention to the little buzz
Zers and they came and went at their
own sweet will.
After time he began to study them
and soon came to the conclusion that
they We're gradually becoming ac-
quainted with him. his ways and his
dark room. One day II stranger Was
seated on the window sill. The first
wasp entering the room paid no atten-
tion TO him. but made for the old crack
in the wall. Then out came n big fat
fellow who darted through the open
Window like a bullet. Within five min
utes half IL dozen Masps came With II
rush ut the stranger and two of them
located him. But the writer has never
been touched by his wasp colony.

They Rarely Fell Trees.

Most of the Sraniards dislike to fell trees or cut live timber of any sort and this fact perhaps accounts for the giant trees of California. The Span iards two centuries ago pushed their way through Mexico to California, and save the clearing of paths through the dense forests. not a twig did their axes chop down. Nor do the Spaniards transplanteu to the new world ever destroy timber They continue to bulk their houses of stone and mortar, al great expense of money and physica eXertion, when timber in abundance surrounds them, out of which they could construct log houses, as did other pioneers, at a minimum of cost anG labor. The Spaniard does not even fel trees for firewood, but picks up deac limbs as they fall to the ground ol pulls them from the trees with his lariat.-London Express.

UD a Shot Tower.

'It was strange experience" said the huntsman AS l ascended the spiral stairs of the tower l saw shot falling, like rain, around me. The shot tower was POO feet high. At its base there was q tank of water for the shot to drop into. If it fell on the earth. you know, it would be fat instead of round. On top of the tower was huge boiler filled with molten lead. The manager ladled the lead into q perco- lator, kind of strainer and thence it fell into the cistern of cold water POO feet below. It took it three seconds to fall. They made different sizes of shot on the tower by using different perco- lators-big holes for big shot, small holes for fine shot, and so on. The wa ter in the cistern had to be changed every little while. It would have be- come so hot otherwise that it would have kept the shot soft. New Orleans Times Democrat.

March 1O-The report that Richard Mansfild has expressed his intention of closing his remark ably successful career as an actor 2f. ter three more short seasons, has caused no particular surprise on the Rialto. It has been known in theatri- cal circles for some time that Mans field intended to retire from the stage in two or three years, but up to the present time no definite details were known as to his plans. According to the information obtained from MT
 Mansfield himself, he will play during the next three seasons in New York, Rocton. Chicago and Philadelphia. In addition to these engagements ne will probably play two more engage ments in cities accustomed to one-Week enoaoements. Next season he will make his final appearance in New England.
