at is both interesting and impqr-
tant to recall that nearly all, II not
all, of the early state papers OF the
republic contain references to Divine
Providence, the Supreme Power or the
Lord. This is due probably to the
fact that the foundation Of the CO.
lonial government was religious ra-
ther than political. The then prevail
ing idea was that religion should come
before politics. Hence in every state
paper. during that period reference
was devoutly made in some manner TO
Divine Providence, +, often, however,
only in the date which always read
in the year of our Lord etc. This

HORNET, A PAPER MAKER.
Insect Made Paper, Compares Well
With the Machine Made Kind.

That hornet is both maker OF
paper and an able builder we knew
even before insect science was syste-
matized. But the processes by which
tie paper is made and the elaborately
planned nest is built were shrouded
in mystery until they were studied by
Charles Janet, a Frenchman whose In
vestigation of insect life has attract
ed much attention.
Janet found that hornets paper
making methods will bear comparison
with those of our ordinary paper mills,
The hornet seeks some rotting tree,
removes a piece of wood. and chews it
till he produces ball of pulp about a
quarter of an inch in diameter. Laden
with this, he flies to the next. The
search for a suitable piece Of decayed
wood and the chewing of it have con-
sumed not more than six minutes. and
perhaps only two. Clinging to the
comb with his middle and hind feet,
the worker juggles the ball of pulp
with his fore feet, chewing it continu-
ously to make 1t more plastic and ad-
hesive After sufficient chewing he
disposes of the ball in repairing OF
lin building additions. Selecting a
suitable part of the nest, he attaches
the ball and then drags it. leaving
behind q narrow strip of paper
AS the ball of pulp is unreeled 1t is
shaped by the insects jaws, and by
incessant tamping along the joint 1t
is glued to the sheet Of which 1t is to
form a part. When the ribbon has
reached q length that varies from half
an inch to an inch and a half the
hornet returns nearly, but not quite.
to the point of beginning and deposits
q second strip, soon after that third
and so on to completion.
After certain stage in this singu-
lar work of construction has been
reached the queen of the hive emerges
from her royal seclusion and performs
q most astonishing operation. Carry
ing ball of pulp of her own, she
spins around one leg as a radius and
deposits a circular ribbon of paper.
Less agile than the workers, who COM
plete their labors in two or three min
utes, the queen requires at least five
minutes for her spin.
| Instead OF building annexes to the
hive, the hornet may use half the ball
of pulp in cell building, although
whole balls of very fineIpulp are gath
cred for this special purpose. In prin-
ciple, cell building is exactly like the
process described, but the paper used
is finer and the work is carried on
with greater care. Like n good arti-
san, the worker retouches the moist
cell after completion, smoothing down
inequalities and finishing the walls
with exquisite attention to detail.
Although the paper of which the
cells and envelopes are fashioned is in
| itself perilously weak, the nest can
sustain an astonishing weight of
larvae and hornets, which speaks we'll
for the engineering skill Of the
builder.
