all purposes of art, for study, for

GOOD WORD FOR THE WASP
In industry He Is on a Par With the
Bee. Though Not OF So Much
Value to World.

Wasps appea to be wellnigh as In
dustrious as ants or bees. One au-
thority has declared that the cardinal
doctrine of wasps is: IF any wasp VIII
not work. neither shall he eat" Divi-
sion of labor is clearly seen In the
wasp's nest. Some of the worker seem
to be specially employed as foragers
and soldiers. others appear to be told
off as nurses and guardians, while yet
others are engaged as papermakers
and masons. Wasps are at all times
particularly fond of honey. Toward
the end of summer, as all b~eekeepers
know, they will force their way into
beehives and carry off by force as
much as they can gorge of their wing
ed n%eighbors' honey. The drones OF
the wasp world, instead OF being Idle
and luxurious, are sober, industrious
and welEbehaved members of the COM
munity. They clean the streets OF
their town with exemplary diligence,
acting as public scavengers and SAM
tary officers. And they have their re-
ward, for, unlike the bee drones, they
live their allotted life in peace and
quietness until winter involves them
and their maiden sisters In one COM
mon cataclysm of death and destruo-
