Bees Imltated bu Waaps.

The average countryman would
laugh at you if you were to tell him
that you had seer the wasps this sum
mer playing the part OF the exemplary
bee and gathering honey from the
flowers in the garden. But the coun-
tryman would be wrong and you would
be right. for of late. for some mys-
FERROUS reason. the wasps have been
busy among the tall flaming spikes of
the red hot pokers (Tritoma uvaria).
What the bees think of it one can
not say, but they are not to be seen
mingling with the wasps. The latter,
when they feel inclined toward honey,
usually make an attack upon the near
est beehive, and very often come off
second best, unless they attack in
force. But now that the wasp has
shown an inclination to gather honey
first hand from flowers, surely the
scientist can step in and teach it to
store it for the needs of man in the
comb, which it can already make as
perfectly as the bee. although of a
different material. The chief diff
Guilty, perhaps, would be to prevent
the wasp, like the child in the straw
berry bed, from eating all he gathers
on the spot.-Pall Mall Gazette.

His Enemy Fiohts Fair.


According TO officials of the Carne-
gle hero fund, the most remarkable
case that has been investigated by the
commission was that of Rufus X.
Combs of Midway, KY, who was
granted a silver medal and $1,000 in
cash by the commission recently.
Combs saved the life of his bitter en-
envy and political rival, Richard God
son. a lawyer and inventor.
Godson had entered a vault to test
a gas making apparatus and was over
come by the fumes.
Friends and relatives were afraid to
enter the vault. When he declared
his intention of going in Combs was
pulled back and told that Godson was
dead, and that he would surely lose
his W life if he attempted to recover
the body.
There may be some life in him, =
declared Combs as he pulled away and
entered the vault. lie carried his en-
envy to the door of the vault and then
fell unconscious. Both men recov-
cred and are now the stanchest OF
friends.
Asked why he had risked his life
for his most bitter enemy, Combs re.
piled: Because | love a fighter who
fights fair, and Godson always did
that.'-Exchange.
