Yegg men broke into the postofice

yesterday morning, getting away with
about $15S in money and stamps. AL
though five detectives are searching
for them and they are in an automobile
no clue has yet been discovered of
their whereabouts. Entrance was
effected in the back door and nitro
glycerine was poured down the cracks
of the safe and the edges soaped. Wet

THIS WASP HATES SPIDERS.
He Kills and Buries Them and Lays an
EGG In Each Grave.

Just TO show that he's sanitary, also
that he's looking out for the future
generation, the South African wasp
always buries his prey after he kills
It He stabs spider with his poison
Gus dart, digs hole in the sand and
buries the dead spider with an egg.
When the egg hatches the young
wasp has dead spider to nibble at
until he gets big enough to hunt food
for himself. Thus the wasp looks out
for his children before they're hatched.
He's a member of the family which
scientists have named the pompilus.
Spiders are his fayorite victims. He
will pursue the spiders which live on
the ground and paralyze them with
his poisonous sting. Even the spiders
which build webs are not safe from
his attack. He will fight his way
through the web until he reaches the
center. where he win grab the spider
and hurry away to bury II.
The pompilus is so dreaded and fear
ed that the spider has learned to dis
tinguisb him by the bum Of his wings.
II it's fly buzzing around the spider

his prey. But If he hears the hum of
the wasps wings the spider will drop
from his web and scoot away to any
hiding place he can nfind.-Philadelphi

sound like a faint moaning of tor
