WASPS TEACH MAN A LESSON
English Student Discovers New Fact
Concerning Insects-unique Sys-
tenn for Ventilation.

An English gentleman lately took a
small wasp's nest. about the size OF an
apple, and. after Supplying its In
mates, placed it in large cage in
side of his house. leaving an opening
for egress through the wall. Here
the nest was enlarged to a foot in di-
ameter, holding thousands of wasps.
He was able now to watch their move
ments. and he noted one new fact
namely. their systematic attention to
ventilation.
In hot weather from four to six wasps
were continually stationed at the hole
Of egress, and, while leaving space
for entrance or exit. they created a
steady current of fresh air by the
exceedingly rapid motion Of their
wings.
After a long course of this vigorous
exercise the ventilators were relieved
by ether yasps. During cool weather
only two wasps at time were usually
thus engaged.

The next day the new dog was led

Towser was an old dog. He had
been on the farm for many years. and
Farmer Mason thought he was too
old to be n watchdog any longer.
So he brought a new dog home one
day and put him in Towser's house.
Poor Towser did not understand it..
Ie slept In the kitchen and the new
dog had his house in the yard and
ate out OF his dish.
Hello, Towser," said Pussy the
next morning. How do you like sleep

1T was nice and warm said Tow
ser. trying not to 'show his feelings.
Yes, know that: said Pussy: but
you have looked out for things so
long it must be hard to see someone
in your place. He is fine-looking
fellow" added Pussy, as she went out
the door.
Towser did not go around where the
doghouse was for several days.

wife one morning. 'ihe really seems to
