Insect Engineers.

TT is claimed that the diving bell
was invented by a spider. At least
we are certain that If it was not
actually invented by him it was used
by him long before the hydraulic en-
gineers made one for the same pur-
poses.
The diving bell. as it is well known.
is cup-shaped body with an open
end d0wn, which is let into the wa
ter. The air is caught in the bell and
keeps the water from rising beyond
certain level from any specified
depth and, Of course. allowing any
one inside to breathe and act as if h-
were on dry land. The improvement
of the diving bell. known as the cais-
son. is huge pipe that has compart-
ments. into which air is pumped from
above. The spiders bell is filled
more in this manner than in the
other.
The name given to these little spi-
ders is very appropriate-the naiads.
of the family of arachnida- 4 naiad

ter He completes the entire struc-
ture before filling it. with air-as ii
he knew that the air would tend I"
make 1t rise to the top, and thus him
der the attaching of the anchors.
The naiad swims down from the
nf ,;,
them loose in the airy structure. The
process is repeated several times un
til the little house is full of air. OF
coutse, the open end of this house is
down, and this has to act also as the
entrance to it.
Another peculiar thing about
naiads is that they never get wei.
They have thousands of small hairs
on their bodies which hold and keep
the air from being washed Off when
they enter water, and so the air
sticks and water cannot approach.
The water beetle is probably th.
only other insect engineer in th"
proof nest under water, but does not
live in it. 1t merely lays its eggs in
the nest. seals it up and leaves.
The mason bee, as it's name i'm
plies, is builder of structures of
stone and mortar. The nest is at
tached to almost any solid structure
and actually does consist of small
stones cemented together with NOR
tar. The house consists of many
cell of oval-shape, and into each an
egg is laid. The cell is lined with
silken webs by the mother, who gets
out of 1t by a hole in it's top. Be-
fore leaving. however. she hermetf
ically seals up the cell. +
