She Is also very fastidious ax to the I kind of spiders she wants, the big, coarse, hairy fellows, she passes lip, and selects only those that are soft plump *? imI juicy. The spider caught. she does not kill It outright, but proceeds to Inject Into the kicking, disobliging victim, a slow IH>isou Which paralyzes, but docs not kill 'P^e sphler after undergoing this a nest bet leal treatment, drops off Into a dreamless sleep, and subsequent ev ents Interest* him no longer. The limp, Inert hody can now be easily hand led, so the wasp takes it in her Jaws, i and flies away to her stucco nest- By ' the help of fret and houd she finally fttuctviHlH in pushing the spider down to the botom of one of the cells. Again and again, she returns with an Insen sible spider, until the cell Is entirely tilled. She Hum de|s*dts a small white egg on top of the last spider, fetches a ball of clay, and plasters up the front 'door. In succession the remaining cells I are staked with cold storage spiders, a single egg laid In each, the open end I celled 11 >?. and her mission In life is tul tl I led . Before leaving, she painstaking ly goes over the whole structure, smoothing a rough place here or add ing a little tile there, and when It looks to her that it Is about as |?erfcct ijs anything can l>e. she sweeps up any dust that may have fallen to the floor below. She is a careful small person, and leaves no trash or rubbish to call attention to the finished nursery. Her task done she tiles away, never again to return to the seem1 of her labor |and love. After a certain time, the I white egg hatches out a small, pale worm. The worm without having to move from Its tracks, finds itself seat ed at a lunch counter, piled high with the very kind of food it would have or dered. and enough of It to last it< life time. With nothing to do but eat. It soon grows to a size that takes up all the space in the cell, formerly occupied hy 1 he store of provisions.
