A tanner OF WASPs.
An English Girl Says They Are Tractable and
Intelligent

Miss Marion Black Hawkins. an English girl. who
lives in London suburb. insists that waSps are as
tractable doves and far more intelligent Miss
Marion catches and tameS wasps just for her own
amusement. Her method is simple First she
catches the wasps by placing an empty fruit jar
over the entrance to a nest and waiting till some
of the inhabitants enter the trap. Then she puts
them in a cage she has had constructed, and
leaves them overnight In the morning she srnears
some honey on her fingers and plunges her hand
fearlessly into the cage. and the wasps, being
hungry eat the honey and forget to sting. While
they feed she fondles them and makes friends.
and after a little Of this treatment they become
quite tame When released they will light on her
fingers and feed in the open air.
One Of her tame Wasps, when the weather got
cold last autumn used to fly about in search of
her. and when it found her it would crawl down
under her collar and to sleep on her neck 1t
knew she says. that my neck was nice warm

II would give a kind of jump when | reused it
Miss Marion's parents and sisters say that ever
since she was tiny child insects have had great
fascination for her. She has always had strong
power over those that bite and sting
