OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
WASP VS.. WOLF SPIDER.
VTE have had a visit (writes a
wv Yorkshire naturalist) of the
most -Iook or all

VTE have had a visit (writes a
wv Yorkshire naturalist) of the
most formidable-looking of all
the spider tribe, a tarantula dycosa
t~arantula), very appropriately called
the wolf spider" Although the genus
is extensively represented in the South
of Europe and pretty common in the
Rivera, this wanderer is from the new
world, having been landed In Scarbor-
ough in a packet of bananas. A great
deal of picturesque nonsense is to be
found in old natural history books
about the fearful habits of the tar
antula, whose bite, however, is formid-
bile enough and undoubtedly poison
GUS. That it is affected in a very re-
markahle way by music is also an in
teresting fact. AS far as l know, the
only insect capable of standing up"
to a t%arantula is a wasp Up. formosus),
very common in Texas, Y. S. A, where
it is popularity known as the '%tarantula
killer" This wasp doe not attack the
huge spider in its underground habita-
ton, and, being much smaller, adopts a
hawking method worthy of the tactics
of a falcon s~trategically m~anoeuvring
for a favorable stroke at a heron. When
the wasp espies a ~tarantula it takes to
the wing and sweeps in circles round it's
prey. The latter seems to become ter
rorized, but cannot retreat. 1t makes
a stand-up show of fight. but the de-
Tense is feeble, and like a flash the
wasp sweeps down, generally inficting
a deadly sting on the back of the head.

SOCIETY D, OF SEVENTH
REGIMENT, HOLDS DINNER.

The members of Society D, of the
Seventh Regiment Of New Jersey, en-
joyed a banquet at the Continental
Hotel last night. The banquet hall had
been decorated for the occasion, Ameri-
can flags predominating, and presented
a fine appearance. Although informal
in It's character, the dinner proved to
be one of the most enjoyable and sue
cessIul In the history of the society.
Short addresses were delivered by prac-
tically every member present, active as
well as honorary, and stirring, as well
as humorous stories of camp life were
the rule. Covers were laid for thirty
five members.
