WASPS TEACH MAN A LESSON
English Student Discovers New Fact
Concerning inseets-unIque sys-
tenn for Ventilation.

An English gentleman lately took q
small wasp's nest. about the size of an
apple. and. after Supplying its In
mates, placed 1t In a large cage in
side Of his house. leaving an opening
for egress through the wall. Here
the nest was enlarged to a foot In dr.
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 long course Of this vigorous
exercise the ventilators were relieved
by other wasps. During cool weather
only two wasps at time were usually
thus engaged.
