PAPER MADE BY WaSPs.

The Way the Insects Gather Material
and Form the Product.
Wasps are wonderful papermakers.
They make real paper. too. just rs
truly as human papermakerS.
A wasp flies to 4 flower and covers
the front of its body with the dust Of
the blossom This Is moistened and
mixed with the wax which Is secreted
on the surface OF the wasp's body.
Then the insect repairs to an Old fence
or other piece of weather worn wood
that has loose, fuzzy. fibrous surface.
The wasp rubs itself on this tibr0us
matter just as it did on the dust Of
the flower and u layer Of such matter
adheres to the insects body and be
comes mingled with wax in the same
way
Then away goes the wasp to the
nest which it is building. places itself
just on the spot where it wants the
layer of paper to lie and then works
itself into heat by furious motion
OF the wings. so that the wax is mOiS-
tened next To the body. when the pa
per drops OF in the right place. where
it may be adjusted properly and fas-
tened
The paper of the wasp is as much
paper, as the product Of the paper mill.

Trichromio Vision.

In a recent discussion before the
British Royal society Of the phenome-
non Of "trichromic vision" the case Of
a scientist known for his researches
in electrical science was described.
When looking at the bright spectrum
of sunlight this scientist sees only
three colors-red. green and violet.
For him there Is no definite color in
the part Of the spectrum that appears
to persons with normal vision pure
blue. He can distinguish nothing Of
the nature Of pure yellow in the spec
trum. Reddish green would describe
the orange and yellow parts and
greenish violet the blue parts as he
sees them. In testing with cOlOred
yarns the wool changed color to him
when contrasted. although a normal
sighted person saw no difference.
These facts show how different colors
may possibly appear to those about us.

CHANGING THE SEASONS.
In China Il Is Summer When the En-
peror Says 1t Is.

In China Il Is Summer When the En-
reror Says 1t Is.
The emperor of China has some
strange duries. One of these is the
ordering of the seasons. 1t is summer
in America when the sun warns the
earth and not until then, but in China
it is summer when the emperor says
1t is summer. As soon as the emperor
declares that summer has come every
body in China puts Off winter clothing
and arrays himself in summer garb,
no matter what his feelings on the sub
ject may be. All domestic arrange
ments are made to suit the season as
proclaimed by the emperor. although
they may not suit the individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese
system Of ordering the seasons is the
practice observed in France in all pub
lie. buildings. There 1t Is winter on
and after Oct. 1. Fires are then light
ed in all government offices, and the
employees exchange their white sum-
mer waistcoats for the thicker and
darker ones OF winter. At that date
the public libraries are closed at 4, and
in the streets the sellers Of toasted
chestnuts make their appearance. In
official France it is winter. no mat
ter what the weather may say and no
matter what unofficial France may
think.-New York Press

DoPUlAR GOVERNMENT

/ Unless all the signs fail, Job
Hartman next month will be elected
mayor of Los Angeles. This is in
spite of the fact that he is opposed by
the Express, Tribune, Times, EXamin
er and Herald, and is supported only
by the Record. If he is elected, it will
not be because he is a Socialist, but it
will be one more illustration of the
fact that the American people have
decided to act for themselves, inde-
pendent of all who seek to direct them,
and especially independent of the large
financial interests.
Representing that which is best in
present day politics, it still is fact
that the Good Government movement
in Southern California is as much rep
resentative of capital as the other
factors and has taken little pains to
get into close touch and harmony with
the working man. The Good Govern
ment movement. in fact, like political
organizations in general. is a move
ment' of leaders and not of the rank
and file of humanity, and it is that
rank and file which is supporting Har-
riman.
This support of the Socialist candi-
date by men who are not Socialists
simply serves to show how deep
seated is the determination of the
American people to regain govern
ment of themselves -

The resolution introduced in the
Senate on April 6 by Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin proposes
further investigation. The resol.
ution proposes by name five Senat
ors to act on this committee. They
are: Senator John ID. Works, of
California, Senator Charles T..
Townsend, of Michigan, Senator
George p. Mclean, of Connecticut,
Senator John W. Kern, of Indiana.
Senator Alice Pomerene. of Ohio.
The resolution names Senators to

the resolution are all of them new

Although the resolution WAS intro
duced after conference amoi z

the resolution. Senator Works, is
identified in the public mind with

exceptional ability. the Senators
named are especially commended
for the important work which the
adoption OF the La Toilette resolu.
ton would dcvolve upon them.

OF our knowledge of the past. by the researches
OF recent years, enables view the
course of human changes with complete

looking on the fall of the Roman empire as a
