Strange Nests

"A RE there other kinds of paper wasps nests in the world, Uncle Will o' the Wasps?" asked Theodore one day.

"Yes there are, and some of them are very pretty. The little architects build according to their needs, I suppose, or according to their fancy"; and Uncle Will got a big book and showed Theodore pictures of a number of pretty paper nests built by wasps in different parts of the world.
