Addison, whow) memorial nriy be seen now

where Is kept nl.vo tho memory of other
great names of Kiigllsh lltcrntuiv. Ilisfnthcr

As n young man, his Iitlu nml nnglish

for convincing proofs of his genius. And

How 'Wasps Ventilate Tliolr Nest;.
Observations mado of wasp nests nnd tho
workers therein havo led to tho conclusion
tlint theso Insects glvo splendid attention to
ventilation. In hot weather from four to
blx wasps wcro continually stationed nt tho
holo of egress, and, while leaving space for
entrance or Qxlt, created a steady current of
fresh air by tho exceedingly rapid motion or
their wings. After a long courso of this
vigorous exercise, tho ventilator i wore re
lieved by other wasps. During cool weather
only two wasps at a tlmo were usually thus
engaged.

explained that everything possible had been
done, and tnut full particulars would bo ob

over such things, which wcro hnppcniug

Tho curious cxcrimcut hero illustrated
wai doxrlbed ns follows in n recent number
of Popular Sclenco Nows:
Tnko a water llask or n wfdo mouthed do
canter or bottle, hold It lu n horizontal posi
tion ami placo a small cork lu the neck. It
w 111 then seem nn cosy matter to blow tho
cork into tho bottle, but upon trial It will bo
found almost Impossible to do so, as tho
harder ono blown tho more forcibly It Is

tho experimenter.
TitK uorrLU ahd Tiin com;.
Tho explanation of this peculiar behavior
of tho cork Is very fclmple. Tho bottlo Is
already full of nlr. so that no more can lxt
blown into it, nnd tho only effect produced
by blowing Is to compress tho air already In
side. When tho pressure is removed tho nir,
being clastic, expands again qcickly, and, In
doing so, forces tho cork out of the neck, ap
parently lu a revcrso direction to tho current
from tho lungs of tho experimenter. Tho
neck of tho bottlo must bo erfeetly dry, or
tho cork will ndhcro to It and Interfere with
tho success of the experiment.
