A great Frenchman, ]. H,
Fabre, has for years been going
to the bugs with clear-seeing eyes
and open mind, and has revealed
things to US that have caused him
to be called the insects Homer"
He has told us the, life stories of
the common things, just the scav-

leaf-roIlers, the wild bees.
And from Fabre we learn how
to be real fathers and mothers.
We hear a great deal about the
duties of parenthood, but nothing
we do excels in devotion, nor out
ranks in skill the annual doings of
"just bugs"
The entire life of the insect is
prompted by but one instinct,
that of the guarding of the young.
These "brainless creatures, these
Glow things" turn architects and
builders and diggers and con-
struct wonderful dwellings. They
become warehousemen and store
supplies of food. They realize the
need of life-giving air and build
air-chambers. And then they
store their eggs and go their
ways, content to die.

MOTORMAN
INSTANTLY KILLED
BYFELL0W WORKER
William Wise, of Cabin John
Bridge Line, Run Down
i Near Barn.

William Wise, ono Of the veteran
motormen employed by the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, was
run down and instantly killed this MORN
Ing by car en- the Cabin john line.
The scene of the accident wss about
midway between the car barn, at
iThirty-seventh street and Canal road,
and the bridge at Tnirty-eighth street.
Wise, who had been employed by the
company for nearly thirty years. and
was regarded as an unusually careful
motorman, was to have taken the first
car to Cabin John this morning. He
left the barn promptly at O'Clock.
Just behind him was a car in charge of
Motorman Michael Benin, who is also
enc OF the company's veteran motor
men.
z A short distance from the barn wise's
car slipped its trolley. The motorman
applied the brakes, stopped the car, and
got down to put the trolley on again.
As he walked behind his car Behm's car
came UP and struck him He was
knocked down, falling beneath the
wheels and his body cut in two and
badly mutilated. An ambulance was
called and he was taken to the George
town University Hospital. The sur
geons said that he had died instantly.
At the request Of Coroner Nevitt,
Police Captain Schneider, of the Sew
enth precinct, made q personal inyesti-
cation Of ths accident. He said that in
his opinion 1t was purely an accident.
From what Benin told me-" said
Captain Schneider, II feel that he ex-
ercised the usual precautions. It was
pitch dark when the two cars started
out. When they left the bara Benin 8
car was some distance behind. When
the other car ran off the trolley the
did not see that the car ahead had
stopped. He ran Wise down before
he had any warning that there was
danger of an accident
Shortly before the accident the two
men had been talking and joking to-
gether in the barn. They had been
friends for years, and Benin was all
broken up when he learned that he had
killed his fellow-employe.' He went to
the Seventh precinct station, where he
remained until the police had completed
their investigation.
