He prom ises to exhibit only,, the highest class pictures, and we bespeak for him a liberal patronage. And wasps built on the eaves of roofs, on bushes, briers, on ditch batiks being a favorite home. There were several spe cies of wasp. There were two kind of yellowjackets, one built in hollow treetops—these were not plentiful.—the other burrovy- ed in the ground.
