is formed by the mother insect, and is very
hard. The pupa, when ready to emerge
must cut its way out. The front of its head

DEW PONDS

DEW PONDS
A MONG the most singular archaeological
remains found in Great Britain are the
ancient dew ponds, the construction of
which is ascribed to the Neolithic Age
The purpose of these ponds was to furnish
drinking water for cattle. An exposed posi-
ton, where springs were absent, was selected,
and a broad, followed surface was formed
and covered over with straw, or some other
nonconducting material. Above was spread
a thick layer of clay strewn with stones
During the night the cold surface of the clay
caused an abundance of moisture to con-
dense from lower layers of the air. Some of
these ancient dew ponds are still working.

Vienna has many customs peculiar

ing one of tipping the tramway con-
ductors. The tax on the passenger is
not a heavy one-2 heilers, one-fifth
Of a penny, is sufficient to elicit the
grateful acknowledgment of the Off
cial who collects the fares. Vienna
also enjoys a progressive income tax
system, whose net is cast so wide as
to include the wages earned bv such
comparatively insignificant workers as
tramway conductors, although these
can scarcely amount to fl a week. 1t
suddenly occurred to the income tax
officials that the tramway conductors
were not paying any tax on the tips
they gathered in. An order has now
been issued that hereafter the con-
ductors shaN pay 4 crowns 3s. 4d.) a
year as income tax on their two heller
tips. There are 1886 tramway con-
ductors in Vienna. so that the state
will collect the magnificent sum of

gers upon the conductors.
