Tlie closure is effected with fragmei is of sticks and leaves and sand alternately scratched in and tamped down with the wasp's head. Tin; wasp accompanies these strenuous operations with a joyful, contented buzz. Hut not only is the tunnel securely closed but all trace of ti work at the surface is obliterated by scattering sti ks, leaves and blades of grass promiscuously over the surface.

This done, the wasp (lies away to dig another nest and lay another eg. Mr. Hartman then showed many other phases in the life-habits of other species which proved interesting even to the most indifferent. A comical case was that of the wasp that lirst catches her spider and then proceeds to dig her nest. While busy at her nest she actually hangs the spider up in the crotch of a twig or on the leaf of a plant to keep it out of reach foraging unts.

Of interest was the big wasp that hums around horses and cattle to capture the flies that always hover around these beasts in summer. The most valuable part of the lecture was the deductions on Instinct and intelligence. Tlie first instinct under discussion was the homing instinct or the sense of direction, which the lecturer conclusively proved did not exist in the sen of a mysterious power not possessed by man. He proved, on the contrary, that ants, bees and wasps find their way back to their nests by an intimate acquaintance with the objects in the vicinity. The problem was attacked from a number of different standpoints which lead to the same conclusion.

The be havior of solitary wasps on leaving the nests was observed. It was found that before venturing away the wasps invariably made a detailed study of the locality. In the second place it was found that social wasps transplanted beyond the range of familiar objects had great difficulty in getting back home. Finally some experiments showed that, by moving bushes near the nests the wasps could be completely bewildered and made to lose their way. Instincts were defined as such acts that are performed previous to experience and In the same manner by all individuals of the same sex and race.

Intelligent acts, on the contrary, are such as are modified by experience and show adaptation to changed conditions or abnormal actions under nor mal conditions to attain a given end. Among the most evidently Intelligent acts may be mentioned a little ammo-phila which stands out among her fellows as does a genius among the species homo sapiens, an Individual who breaks loose from the traditional mehods and ways of thinking of its ancestors. All the other individuals of this species of ammophlla close up their nest with sand and pack it down with their heads. So did this individual until the tunnel was full, Hush with the surface. Then the wasp picked up a pebble in her mandibles and with this tamped down the sand.

More sand was scratched in and the tamping renewed several times. The wasp was no doubt in this case improvising a tool and her act must be called an act of intelligence. These observations, Mr. Hartman JOHNNY M'KAUGHAN. FOURTEEN YEARS OLD, ATTACKED BY CRAMPS WHILE IN SWIMMING YESTERDAY AT NOON.

LAD ATTEMPTING RESCUE HAD MIRACULOUS ESCAPE Drowning Boy Pulled Meyer Levy Under Unfortunate Youth Caught in Swift Current and Carried Out of Sight Body Not Recovered. Johnny McKaughan, a deaf mute, aged 14 years, son of H. McKaughan, formerly in the employ of the old water and light company of this city, but now an electrician in Fort Worth, uas drowned in the Colorado river near the foot of Lavaca slieel about noon yesterday. The unfortunate lad. with a number of other boys, was in swimming in the river.

Young McKaughan, the boys say, was a fair swimmer and while in the river about twenty-five feet from the bank was attacked by cramps. He was seen to throw up his hands and give a pei uliar ry which deaf mutes give when in pain or danger. Several of the boys hurried to his assistance, one of thfin, Meyer Levy, aged 13 years, catching hold of him. The oramped lad sank, pulling his companion under with him. They arose and young Levy, realizing his perilous position and knowing that lie was dealing with a drowning boy, succeeded iafreeittg himself with a mighty effort.

Before any of the other boys could reach McKaughan the swftt current had caught hini and carried him rapidly away, his body sinking out of sight. The boys immediately gave tlie alarm and the police and others soon began a search for the body. Officer Gibson and several otheis searched for over five hours in the vicinity where the boy went down, Hut failed to find any trace of the body. Their opinion was that it had been carried down the river by the swift current. Search for some distance below the Congress avenue bridge was made, but the body was still missing at dark.

The father of the drowned boy was not in the city and he was notified of the sad occurrence by telegraph. He will arrive here this morning. Miss Clara McKaughan was in New Braunfels, having gone there yesterday morning. In response to telegraphic summons she returned to Austin at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Another sister, Mi9S Minnie, and mother were at the family home at 1504 Sabine street at the time of the drowning.

Joseph W. McKaughan, brother of the deceased, lives in Dallas and he Has been notified by wire. The dead boy was an exceptionally bright little fellow and for four years had attended the State Deaf and Dumb Institute, where he made high averages in his studies and was a favorite both among the students and teachers. The school closed only a short time ago. The search for the body continued until a late hour last night but to no result.

The river was dragged with nets and hooks for nearly a mile below the Avenue bridge. The search will be resumed early this morning. FISH AND CIVET CATS. Good Story From the San Saba Country Angler's Paradise. There's fish galore and game In plenty up In the San Saba country, according to L.

OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE ON OUTING ON COLORADO Study and Experiments on the Wasps' Powers of Adaptation Led to Some Valuable Deductions Lecture Illustrated With Photographs. Mr. Carl Hart man delivered a most interesting and Instructive lecture in the University auditorium before a large and appreciative audience on "Instinct and Intelligence as Illustrated by Habits of Solitary Wasps." Mr.

Hartman has for the past few years been on the teaching force of the zoology department of the State University and is a member of tlie Texas academy of science. The lecture of last Friday evening embraced the results of a few weeks' outing, during the past summer, among the wasps on the banks of the Colorado. Mr. Hart-man's observations on the habits of the wasps and his experiments on their powers of adaptation lead to some valuable deductions on instinct and intelligence. The lecture was illustrated throughout with lantern slides of original photographs taken in the field.

The lecturer first contrasted the life history of the social and the solitary wasps. The social wasps are our most familiar ones, the hornets and the yellow jackets. They have three castes; queens, workers and males or drones. Mating takes place In the fall of the year and the fertilized queens alone survive the winter, the males and the workers perishing of hunger and told. With the warmth of spring the queen comes forth and builds the first paper comb, lays the eggs, feeds the grubs and thus rears the first brood of workers.

On emergency the workers take up the work of enlarging the nest and gathering the food, while the queen devotes herself entirely, to egg-laying. There 1b a decided division of labor among the Individuals of a colony. Workers are reared all summer and soon the nest assumes Immense proportions and becomes very populous. In the fall, queens and drones are also produced In larger cells and the cycle of life ts repeated. Among the solitary wasps there are only two castes, the queens and the drones, and there Is no division of la bor, no co-operation of more than one individual for the common good.

Each fertilized female lives a solitary life, does all the work of constructing the nest and rearing the family. Usually a single individual Is reared In one nest, a new nest having to be built for each offspring; sometimes one nest may have a number of chambers, Into each of which an egg is laid. The nests vary greatly in shape, size and location. Some solitary wasps build mud cells and plaster them for protection under shelving rocks, In hollow tree trunks or In our houses, or they may be attached to the twigs of trees. Our common dirt-dauber is one of these.

Others bore a tunnel in the pith of stems of plants and make partitions of mud to separate the chambers. The greatest number of species, however, dig holes in the ground wherein to rear their young. After the nest has been dug or built the wasp files out after its prey, which Is to form the food of its future offspring. The victim always consists of a particular kind of Insect; one species taking only flies, another only spiders, or caterpillars, or plant lice, as the case may be. The prey Is carried Into the nest, an egg laid among the store of provisions, the nest closed up and the future offspring left to its fate.

The young hatches In full possession of the instincts of Its ancestors; It never sees its mother nor does the mother ever see her offspring, for In many cases the nest Is closed up before the egg has even hatched. Ammopblla Is the most wonderful and the most famous of all digger-wasps. Her instincts are well-nigh perfect and may be described as typical of all digger-wasps. She digs her nest by scratching with her front legs and by carrying out the dirt with her mandibles. After finishing the nest she flies away in search of a caterpillar with which to provision it.

She flies in and out among the vines and bushe of the farm, passes up Potato street and Tomato avenue, for hours it may be, until she discovers a caterpillar of her liking. Now the battle begins. The caterpillar writhes and wriggles In the fear of death and the wasp hovers over it like a vulture over Its prey. At an opportune moment the wasp descends and inflicts the fatal sting, which overcomes the victim. After leisurely washing her face and antennae, Madame Ammo-phila again approaches the caterpillar and stings it five or six times more to insure complete paralysis, though not death.

The wasp then straddles the caterpillar, grasps It with her mandibles and (mivable dictu!) marches off with the Immerine burden to her nest, which she has left several hours ago. She makes her journey with an unerring precision which is astounding. Having arrived at the nest, the wasp lays down the caterpillar and measures the entrance and the caterpillar. If the tunnel Is not large enough to admit the caterpillar, a number of "mouthfuls" of dirt are carried oat and on each trip the caterpillar Is measured to Insure its gliding through.

To the Editors of Austin: Dear Kirs For many years an editor myself. I address you by request and as a simple duty. A great discovery has been made in this city. It is fraught with so much importance and yet is so hard to believe, that those who are personally cognizant should add the weight of their Influence, be it great or small. I not only know by contact with many of the beneficiaries, but was myself rescued from Bright disease by it.

The cure has been found, and the difficulty in believing it is costing many lives. It is astounding how far our prejudices carry us. But the great fact is here, and acceptance means recovery. After my own unexpected release I wouldn't let my friends rest and several took the treatment and reenv-erort One was Charles F. Wacker, the Sixth street merchant.

He had diabetes and thought he was going to die. He got well and passed for a J5000 policy.

The higher courts have sustained the decision of the lower court'4Trthe famous peonage cases. Two men who were making a business of contracting poor men to go to work in the hot country on plantations, promising them high wages and entire liberty to return to their homes on the tableland when their time was up, broke all their pledges. The laborers found that their liberty was curtailed and wages cut down without proper cause. This sort of peonage has been going on for some time, even poor street hawkers and peddlers being induced to go as laborers on hot country plantations, only to find themselves reduced to serfdom. The authorities took up the matter with vigor and the practice is fast being broken up.

The first alarm of fire in seven weeks to a day was turned in to the tire department at 4.30 o'clock yester day afternoon and quick response was made by Hook and Ladder, Washing ton and Colorado Hose companies, the only companies summoned. A burning trash pile on the river bank at the foot. of Lavaca street was the extent of the blase and the firemen soon had it knocked out. The trash pile was not far from the place where the drowning of Johnny McKaughan occurred and it is supposed thut some of the parties searching for the body carelessly threw a lighted cigar or cigarette stump in the pile.
