BARD & 'CO. The Sting of the Hornet: I once saw on the porch of my residence on Lake Hopatcong a wind hornet deliberately fall into and en- tangle herself in a spider web, Hud- son Maxim writes. Tho spider; perching upon an outer corner of the web, instantly sprang at the hornet, then stopped and decided that it did not want to tackle that hornet, and returned to its perch. After waiting 'awhile for the spider to come to the attack, the hor- net freed herself very easily from the web, and I watched her fly several times in circles and then deliberately' alight in another nearby web and en- tangle herself in it. Instantly the alert spider, evidently either more hungry or less cautious than the oth- er, sprang upon the hornet, when, with an alacrity that would' shame the lightning and with a precision developed beyond the contingency of error, that hortnet seized the spicier, jabbed her sting into it, and paralyz- ed it. Then she took it" up nicely and carried it away. I learned afterward, in the study of insects,: that this is the regular habit of the mucl hornet -es -that she catches spiders in this manner, para- lyzing them with her sting. She places them one after another in a mud pocket that she has constructed for the purpose until she has enough canned spiders to feed her young when they -hatch out in the spring. The spillers do not die, but remain alive in their prison until attacked by the larvae of the hornet and eaten at the proper time. Ranter hard on the spiders—but the habits of the spiders themselves are not such as to elicit m.ueh sympathy, Norway's Concrete Ship. Commercial Agent Norman L. Anderson reports the launching of a 600 -ton concrete ship front the Foug;- nor yards at Moss, Norway. - This ship has four water -tight compart- ments; the 'engine, a. 220 -horse -power Bolinder motor, is placed aft.
