INSECT METAL GOnERS.
Wasps With the Ability to Eat Their
Way Through Steel Plates.


The voracious and destructive habits
of the white ants of the tropics are
widely known Metal is almost the
only substance that they are unable to
destroy. There is an insect, however,
and it is not necessary to go to the
tropics to find it-that can bore
through metal as easily as the white
ant can bore through wood.
Any one can hear this insect buzzing
in the pine woods in midsummer or
perhaps see the fash of its yellow
wings. Sirex gigas is Its formidable
as the horn tailed wasp. This wasp
bores into the tree in various places
with its long tail and in each hole
leaves an egg.
The ensuing larvae, q white, six
legged grub, fitted with powerful

passage behind it with sawdust. If
uninterrupted the larvae continues bor-
ing deeper and deeper into the tree,
and since it is, Of course growing all
the time, it makes larger and larger
passage,
After about two years it makes its
cocoon of silk in the burrow. Then,
after the pupal skin is cast off, the
winged insect breaks through its CO
coon. Immediately, with feverish
haste. it begins boring toward liberty.

and then the open air.
1t Is often the case that during the
laryal period the tree in which the
horn tailed wasp is burrowing may be
felled, sawed into planks and used in
building operations. Sometimes for
some particular purpose the timber
may be incased in a metal sheathing.
| That does not disturb the wasp at all.
When it's time comes it applies itself
with energy to its task and soon bores
a hole through which it can escape
Holes made by these insects have
been found in tin roofs, and in the
mint at Vienna was safe the half

had perforated. Some extraordinary
cases Of their activity were brought to
the notice Of the Academy of Sciences

stored away for some time showed the
ravages of the wasps in their search
for light and freedom The insects
had not only eaten their way through
the wooden barrel but through the
cartridges and leaden bullets as we'll

BIG PULL OF THE ROBIN.
To See 1t at It's Strongest Watch Him

To See 1t at Its Strongest Watch Him
Get Breakfast.
Relatively speaking. the robin has
more pull than the widest politician
that ever drew breath or a contract
We mean, of course in comparison TO
their sizes. BY similar comparison,
he's stouter than 100 horsepower
stump puller or Il steel magnet. If you
want to see him test his strength get
up early some seasonable morning. go
out on the lawn and watch your friend
the robin grubbing for worms
Youll have to be early because the
robin is. Likewise the robin is early
you know, crawl out of their under
ground tunnels at nighttime and feed
on dead leaves and grasses scattered
over the lawns. The robin gets his
breakfast before the worms have time
to get far down in their burrows.
Mr. Robin goes hopping around over
the grass like a boy in d sack race with
his feet tied, stopping to inspect hole
so tiny that you'd never see it. He
shoots his bill down in the hole, gives
his head little twist-yes, he's found
a worm
Then begins the tug of war. With
the end OF the worm fast in his bin
the robin braces his legs and pulls.
He doesn't jerk the worm out If he
did the worm might break, and you'll
seldom see robin get only half a
worm. No, he plays with 1t like II
skillful angler who has caught a big
fish on his line. Little by little the
worm gives way, and presto, the robin
has him in his mouth.
Once in a great while n young robin,
who hasn't learned the art yet, will
be caught off his balance by sudden
release of the worm and go tumbling
on his back. But that doesn't happen
often Philadelphia North American.

GOOD PAY, GOOD WORK.
Satisfactory Wages Lessen the Cost of

Production.
1t is becoming recognized that the
good man at high wages not only does
more work per dollar of wages than
the poor Inan at low wages, but better
work In the most prosperous facto-
rieS and those turning out the highest
grade OF product we invariably find
high grade, well paid Workmen, while
in those factories which are making
but little profit and where the work is
of poor quality the workmen are
usually poorly paid and of low grade.
The unsuccessful manufacturer when
this matter is pointed out to him too
often says that the successful owner
can afford to hire good men at high
wages because he is successful Evi
dence seems to indicate, however, that
he IS successful because he hires the
good men at high wages and that the
policy of paying satisfactory wages has
been more influential in producing low
costs than any other item.-Henry L..
