BABY WASPS' WONDERFULMEAL.
Spiders Paralyzed by the Sting, Living
for Montho'ln ‘l‘hat Condition. . ._
The wasp is not 8. Vegetarian like the
bee, and our cement maker has before
her the problem at supplying her young
with meat rather than with bread. As
her eggs are laid\out in hot weather,
and as enough food must be stored in
the cell with the egg to mature the
young insect, the question is how to
'preserve the meat fresh for so long a.
time. She meets the difficulty thus:
After a tube is finished except one end,
which is left open, Bhemfiies offxon a.
hunt for. spiders. She .flndsgaHfat, ;
healthy one, pounces upon it, étings it.
and carries it off and places it in “the
mud cell. She repeats this process un-
til she has placed-as many—Aspiders. in .
the tube 9.5, according- -f.o her judgment,~
will be needed. She then lays an egg
in the cell and walls up” the opening.
The remarkable'thing about this per:
'formance is the magic elfect of her
sting. Whether it is the result of a
subtle poison, or whether it is the
special Spot in the spider‘s nervous
spstem where the sting is inserted we
do not know.
being thus stung, the spider lives on in
a. paralyzed condition for weeksand
even months. It can move only slight-
1y. and remainshelpless in -_.its mud
sepulchre until the wasp egg. hatches
into a voracious‘grub, which. at once
tails to and eats withgreat relish the
meat thus miraculously preserved.
Whether the wasp sting renders the
spider insensible to pain or not is a. :
question not yet settled. However,
the chances are in favor of the theory
that it does. Anyway, we need waste
no sympathy on the spider, the most
blood-thirsty of all the little people .of
the fields and woods. There is a. sense
of retributive justice in the thought of
a. spider helpless and at the mercy of a
small insect which it would have mer-
cilessly devoured had it been able.
So we need not accuse our alert, in-
dustrious‘ cement maker of any uni-en-
sonable cruelty if she, like us, insists
upon a. meat diet for her young, nor
need we have any fear or her' sting, for
she seldom uses it as a Weapon of of-.

Bat-uncles on Metal Ships
In the Old days of wooden ships the
boring insects which live in wood were
their chief foes. Teakwood acquired
its reputation as a shipbuilding ma-
terial because of its supposed immun-
ity from these vermin.
Steel ships suffer. from barnncles,
which foul their bottoms much more
rapidly than they do wooden ones.
‘These strange marine growths are
sometimes as big as one’s fist and ad-
here 'to the metal plates with tremen-
dous force, and besides impeding the
ship themselves they catch sea grass
and other rubbish and drag it through
the water.
When a. dry. dock is net available
metal ships have to have theirbottoms
cleaned by divers. When the battle-
ship Massachusetts was recently
cleaned barnacles and grass covered
her hull to such. an extent that she
could not have made more than ten
and one-half knots an noun—Chicago
