be set against the many evil DEEDS Vi
wasps. One of them is the fact that
they help to some small extent In Ter
tiIizing the blooms of honey-bearng
flowers, and the other Is that they de-
stroy flies. The first Il OF little IN
portance: but one must admit that
the sight of wasp bearing away 10
his nest as prisoner a detestable blue
bottle or house fly does give one a
certain amount of satisfaction. Inc
wasp seldom interferes of its own &C
cord with horses or cattle, but 1t de-
stroys large numbers of the insects
that pepetually torment these AMI
mails as well as other kinds OF unde-
sirable small deer
More Harm than Good.
Take it all around, however, natu-
ralists are agreed that the wasp does
more harm than good, and that there
fore its room is to be peferred to its
company. A large number of queens,
of course; escape he attention of their
would-bs destroyers every spring, and
in some places no attempt at all is
made to destroy them, in which case
they set to work with small prelim-
mary nest in the summer and lay
few eggs therein.
These eggs soon develop into grubs,
whichare fed by their devoted parents
with asiduous care and finally
Matched out in ordinary wasps. The
family then begins to establish the
nest proper, building it in tree or a
cavity in the ground of that remark
able paperlike substance which they
work up with their mouths from the
bark of trees. The comb is made in
layers OF somewhat similar material
and herein the queen lays her eggs by
the hundred. Her first family feeds
the second one; and the latter as they
hatch out, assist in the work Of
rearing each succeeding brood. And
SO things go on merrily, unless the
nest is discovered, until the colony
may contain several thousand wasps
But damp and chilly summer, as
already intimated, sadly interferes
with the endeavors of the mother
wasp. and in hundreds of cases she
cannot even make a small beginning.
Numberless queens" themselves
have persisted this summer other than
by the agency of boys or beer, and
thousands of little embryo wasps
have died sadly in their cradles. For
which relief at least let US be truly
thankful to our much-abused summer.

GOING BACK TO EUROPE.

"Unexampled prosperity has
brought unexampled immigration IN
the past few years, and a question
troubling the minds of those who
watch the immigration figures with
anxiety for the welfare of the coun-
try has been what the consequences
would be as a burden upon charity
when prosperity departed. So far as
recent immigration is concerned
that which came in immediate res
ponse to the unprecedented demand
for labor-this question seems likely
to take care of itself We read in
the dispatches, for example, of the
departure last night from Pitt burg
of whole train-load of Italians. Hun
garians and Slavs, discharged from
the mills and mines of western Penn
sylvania, all bound fer Europe. They
gave as a reason the poor prospects
for work the coming winter-most Of

uation improves. From Newcastle.
Pa. over 100 Hungarians also left
last night, likewise bound for Europe,
and taking some $4,000 in cash with
them. 1t is calculated that 10000
steerage passengers left the country
last week. most of them being recen,
immigrants thrown out Of work.
This exodus is likely to reach large
proportions before the winter is over
and for the reasons indicated. The

porting gold from abroad and rushing

CzARINA's CONDITION
Extremely Bad, But Not Alarming
 Will Not Leave Heir-Apparent.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 27.--No official announcement was made to-day con cerning the condition of Empress Alexandra, which leads to the as- sumption that there have been no new alarming developments in her ailment.
 Information reaching the Associated Press from Tsarskoe-Selo is to the eff feet that the health of the empress is extremely bad and that she is still confined to her bed under the care of Prof Eugene Botkin. The efforts of the physicians to promote recupera- ton have been frustrated by the de- pressing effect the climatic conditions there hase upon the patient A rec ommendation that her majesty go to the Riviera met with stern rejection, the empress being unwilling to listen to a suggestion the adoption of which would mean separation from her chill dren. Especially Is this true in the case of the heir-a apparent Grand Duke Alexis Nil1olaievitch. for whose safely the empress Is so anxious that prac- tically she never permits him to be taken from her sight.

EAST SIDE WAR
Brooklyn Real Estate Agents Take Ad-
 vantage of Trouble.

New York, Dec. H-Real estate agents from Brooklyn went into the crowded tenement houses districts on the eastside of Manhattan to-day and tried to do missionary work in their own interests by urging the tenants, who are now engaged in crusade for lower rents, to move to Brooklyn. But activity of outsiders did not seem to disturb the local real estate owners and agents. One of them said that the Eastsider is clannish creature and lives to associate with che friends and neighbors whom he has known since his arrival from Europe.
 Pauline Newman, who is reputed to be the woman leader of the strike movement is in favor of moderation. She has told the women associated with her that they can hope to win by united action if they are careful to keep within the law, and that the land lords, if united front is presented to them, will be bound to yield rather than fight out thousands of dispossess cases in the municipal courts.

Clark, president of the Aetna Insurance company, Frank c. Sumner, treasurer Of the Hartford Trust company and Henry s. Robin son, vice-president of the Connecticut Mutual Life. This bank is conserva- lively managed. Through the stringen- cy in the money market it paid out currency only to depositors.

 The State Savings bank figures on a footing that reflects credit on the say ings bank management in Hartford. Its board of directors includes ex- Governor Henry Roberts, Frederick W.

Hartford Commissioner Experimenting
 on Cheaper and Better Roads.

Hartford, Dec. 27.-Highway Commits sioner James E. Macdonald is carrying on a series of experiments at his of flee in the capital with various> grades of tar for treating surfaces of newly macadamized roads which may greatly reduce the cost of road construction, and make them more durable. If the experiments prove successful, it is probable that the system may be used in various states which are now inter- ested in improved highways, He will continue his experiments for some time, and hopes to get a formula which will save money in road construction.
