NATURES CARPENTER.

The Exact Analogy Between the Carpens
ter's Plane and the Jaws of the Bee.
There is an instrument very familiar
to carpenters, called the spokeshave, on
account of its use in trimming the spokes
of wheels. Different as it may be in APP
pearance, it is identical in principal
with the plane, having an edge guarded
by piece of wood, so that the blade
can not cut too deeply into the object
on which it is employed. The chief dis.
tinction, indeed, is that the workman,
instead of pushing the blade from him,
Atraws it to him.
Now let us see if we can find any ex-
amHles of the plane or spokeshave in
nature. l trace at least one example of
the plane in the insect world. More,
than hundred years ago, that very OBJ
servant naturalist, Gilbert White,
noticed bee performing curious task.
She WAS running up the stem of the
garden caml'ion, holding Der jaws ex-A
tendedI and stripping off the down with
all the dexterAy OF the hOop-shaver.
She collected bundle nearly as large
as herself, and hlen flew away with It.
What she did With her burden he knew
not, but the history of the insect has
been told fully, though briefly, by
Mr.. f. Smith, in the "Catalogue or
British HYmenoptenl:"
This insect, so far as my own obser-
walton has enabled ma to ascertain, does
not construct its own kurrow, but makes
use of any hole which is adapted to its
purpose. once detectA'd bee enter
ing the hole above the wheel of the sash,
line in a summer-hOuse; but its nests.
are most commonly formed in the holes
bored in old willow .stumps by CoSSuS
Hgntperda (the goatmoth); formerly
they were easily obtained in Battersea
Fields, where the willows abound.
The chamber being formed, the bee
collects quantity Of down from woody
stemmed plants, with which she forms
an outer coating. She then constructs
number of cells for the reception Of
the pollen, or food of the larva; they.
consist of woody material, mixed with
some glutinous matter which resists the
moisture of the food they contain, and
in which the larva, being full fed, spins
a broken silken cocoon. These bees
pass the winter in larva state, and do
not appear until midsummer.
The reader will see from this account
how, exact is the analogy between the
carpenters plane and the jaws of the
bee In consequence of the smile EN-
ployed by Mr. White, the insect has
been popularity known by the title of the
Hoop-shaver Bee. 1t is a tolerably
common insect, and abounds in the
south of England. Req. J. G..

child to the aid of kind friends behind

more full of hope; the last scene bus one
goes on; it is dark one; the fun is
over; busy hands are setting the last
grand scene ready behind. Rose is

in the dark front scene. Harlequin

Clown has stolen from him. With a
wave of his wand the dark scene van

are gliding about in silver grottoes,
sparkling waters are flowing down flOw-
cry cascades. The star fevolves; its
center slowly opens. The applause
from the audience is deafening as they
see the Fairy Queen looking so beaut-
full, so lovely, in the reflection of chang
ing fires of different shades. The Har-
lequin, Columbine, Pantaloon and
Clown form a group, but they wait in
vain to hear the words of the Fairy.
She still lies motionless. The leader of
the band knows that something is
wrong, and his musicians strike up

The consumption of mutton is In
Oreasing in this country, especially in
large cities, and it has become profitable
to supply this demand. 1t is profitable,
first, because the price is rumerative,
and secondly, because it is promotive Of
good husbandry- the improvement Of
the soil. The various cereal crops are
depicting, rapidly exhausting to the
soil; but crop of mutton or wool takes
but an imperceptible fraction, and, I'M
der the best management, adds to its
fertility. The mineral matter taken
from the soil by five-pound fleece Of
wool is only 1.6 ounces in year, and o
ounces of nitrogen. In order that the
reader may see what part of the food is
stored up in the body of the sheep, and
what is passed in the solid and liquid
excrement, we will quote from the Ger.
man tables of experiments; 1t was
found that when sheep consumed 100
lbs. of nitrogen in their food (being bar
ley meaD, 1877 lbs. was voided in the
solid excrement, 70 lbs. in the liquid ex-
erement, and 4.3 lbs. was stored up as
increase of the body. Thus 95.7 per
cent. of the nitrogen of the food was
voided in the eXcrement, leaving as a
loss to the soil (stored up in the body
only As per cent. Of the mineral or
ash constituents of the food, it was found
that sheep voided in the excrement 96.2
per cent, and used in the body only 3,8
per cent. When sheep were fed upon
good clover and meadow hay, the solid
excrement contained, of ash, S.5 per

BEHIND THE SCENES.
Jack Halliday's Christmas, Panic.
mime and His Fairy Queen.

This little tale opens in the year 1889,
in the month of December. 1t was
tempestuous month, the snow falling
fast and thick, and the bowling wind
laid it up in all kinds of fantastic heaps
in the thOroughfares Of old New York,
for it was old even then, nearly fifty
years ago, at the time when Forty-third
street was in the country, when stages
started from Cortlandt street for Phila-
delphia and Barclay street for Boston,
the latter taking their route along the
old Boston road, which coursed its way
along where Harlem is nova thrifty
inhabited district.
In this month of December, 1889, the
talk of the town was the Christmas
pantomime at Nblo's Garden. VauX-
hall Garden, then at the corner of Third
street and the Bowery, had no attrac-
lions; its music hall and little summer
alcoves were bathed in snow Castle
Garden, with its concerts, opera and
fireworks, was covered with the white
robe, and the Geological Garden in the
Bowery offered little inducement for the
holiday pleasure seekers. Niblo's with
its pantomime was the rage-the sensa-
ton of the hour. Even "Jim Crow
Rice, then in the height of his fame,
sank into insignifcance at the approach
of 1.-The Christmas pantomime, and
thousands out of New York City's popu-
lation looked forward to the good old
English festival. The aged, with per-
haps recollections of Grimaldi, could re-
call many merry laugh they enjoyed
from him in the past, but now, in this
cold December month, they united with
the young to welcome the clown, with
his gibes, his gambols, his songs and
his flashes of merriment that would "set
many table on a roar"
Z Theater Alley was situated in the
gear 1889, as it is now, in the rear of
Park Row. To-day it's hive of indus
try; but half a century ago it was a nest of
tenants-an ill-paved, ill-lighted abode
of misery. In room at the summit of
one of these houses, a room somewhat
bare of furniture, but neatness in il
that gave it the appearance of genteel
poverty, sat Jack Halliday, the clown, a
. aemure, grave looking man of about
forty YEAR,. On the table before him
were spread sundry sheets of paper. He
was intently scanning them over, and
at times crossed out certain lines OF
