Science

There are great similaritles between
man and his most dangerous enemy
the insect.
Law and order reign everywhere in
the insect world. There are systems
of what might be called government
that correspond to nearly every
branch of human rulership, including
the socianstio state. The many sim
ilarfties between man and the ant are
well known. The ant has g. definite
government which corresponds to a
constitutional monarchy. There are
many other varieties Of insects, how
ever, not so we'll known, that initiate
man and his work very closely.
One kind Of wasp is a very efficient
stone mason. He builds his dwelling
Of earth mixed with water. He makes
solid foundation, round in shape,
which becomes very hard, like cement,
when 1t dries. He then selects stones
and places them at regular intervals
around the circle. After the Sstones
are selected and placed with great care
he dement's them together. He builds
mis- house down, instead Of up. 1t gen.
orally hangs from the caves of roof.
