Wasp's Jaws Make CoIonY,s Nest.


 Wasps readily succumb before the increasing cold of autumn. The few that escape the merciless scourge of mortality are the queens of next sea son. They pass the winter in some warm cranny, and when the spring arrives each comes forth from it's hid ing place and seeks a suitable place for the nest that is to be. This found, the queen repairs to a fence or tree trunk and with her jaw rasps off a bundle of wood fiber which when moistened with saliva and kneaded forms the paperlike substance of which the nest is entirely constructed.
 Just as bees have invented a peculiar nest building material in wax, so wasps have prepared a special durable paper for tss same purpose. The queen mother lays the foundations of the city with her own jaws. She attaches a sort of stalk of wood paper to a chosen support. This may be the branch of tree. a root in cavity below ground or beam in a garden shed. The stalk prepared, the queen builds few shallow cells. in each of which she lays an egg. As these ma ture, hatch and develop into worker wasps the labor of the little colony is turned over to them, and thus a vast nest with thousands of cells is evolved. Chicago Tribune

1 near the Glove company's raceway of
 North Church street, and which has
 been used for supplying water for the
 locomotives is being raised about $ feet. This will give a sufficient
 height to allow the water for the To- comotives to be supplied from this
 tank until such time as the large iron
 tank, which will be placed over the we'll on the edge of long meadow brook is ready for use. The raising of the old tank was made necessary by reason of the trains running over the high grade and consequently the tank had to be raised to a correspond ing height.
 The interior of the post office is be- ing improved by Contractor John J German. A large rack has been made for the convenience of the carriers. Each carrier will have pigeon hole for each letter of the alphabet so that when the carriers window is open he can readily wait upon the party call ing at the window without going through a large bunch of mail. Then just close to the carriers window two large plates of glass have been put in place of the wooden panels and behind this will be built case in which will be placed all matter placed in the office and held for cause such as no place given, no address, held for postage, and the numerous, causes for which mail matter is re- tained by the employees at the office, All this can be seen through the glass and this it is thought will be of considerable advantage and con- venience to the public.

Hooded Snakes.

The hoods of snakes were unQues- tionably intended by nature to act as weapons of intimidation, for when sud denly opened, as they are during the excitement of contest, these give their owners an apparent and formida- ble enlargement. But the hoods which have been so useful at some period in snake history have now become so en- larged as to tend toward the extinction of their owners, just as the overde- velopment in the tusks of prehistoric animals led straight to their destruc- tion. During fight the hooded snake in the act of striking his foe suffers from the outstretched and weighty hood-he overbalances himself and top pies forward. His assailant, the mon- goose and some birds specially. seizes him when prostrate and, ripping up the back of the neck, speedily dis patches him.

Office of chief executive of that state,
at the New Willard last night. Mr..
Swisher dropped INFO Washington for
a few hours, and left last night for
his home, where he will spend the
next two weeks campaigning for the
republican ticket.
THE factional d~igerences In the re-
publican party have been buried
continued Mr.. Swisher, "and the party
will present a solid front in the cleo
ton. Mr.. Scherr viii support the

by a desire to help the national tick

Mr.. Swisher said that he spent some
time in New York, and that he be-
lieved that Hughes would carry the
Empire state and that Taft would get
the electoral vote beyond a doubt.

having spoken not more than five or
six minutes AS the train left the
men chee-ed and the ladies waved
their handkerchiefs. to which Judge
Taft gaflantly responded by bowling
and waving his hat from the car plat
form.
Judge Taft was in rather poor
voice, it being very husky. This was
likely due in part to his effort to
make himself heard by 10000 people
