few days OF cool weather, or the
sudden stopping OF honey flow, will
cause colonies that have been prepar-

Cutting out queen coils Is not certain

discourage swarming, however. The
greatest objection TO this plan is the
labor it takes and the probability OF
missing Il queen-cell when looking
over combs so thoroughly crowded

To prevent swarining 1t is important
10 have your colonies well shaded,
give them plenty OF ventilation and an
abundance of room In the surplus

Large swarrns of bees will build

much more certainty than small ones.
Light swarms issuing the same day
or within few days OF each other will
unite peaceably, bat, after lapse OF
several days, they should be united in
the regular way. by sprinkling, smok-

seasons are twice as long as ON the earth.
second, that the force of gravity is feeble !.

But perhaps the most curious, and GER
tainly the most pathetic of our summer
colonies out of doors is that which is re-
cruited from the hospitals. Whenever
hospital has a garden attached to it YOU
will find tents pitched OIL the grass In
jome cases they will be large army tents.
md through their open flaps you NAV
see rigid figures stretched on mattresses
on the floor, while neat and noiseless
nurses pass to and fro among them. In
other instances they will be roofs of can.
vas, under whose shelter feeble, white
faced men and women swing in cots or
hammocks. The New York hospital has
one of its spacious roofs covered with
canvas awnings, beneath which patients
who are beginning to mend are quar-.
tered, III order to have nature assist in
the cure. 1t is very recent institution
this summer cncampment of the sicl,
but ii is, am told, already established
as a valuable part Of the process of cure.
The trouble is that few of the hospitals
have spare ground enough to carry ont
the plan properly. Some, too. which
have the space, are SO hedged in by
other buildings that the sanitary value Of
their open air is seriously impaired,

Not an Absurd Proposition.

The problem with scientists is quite
open MS to the cause of the red color of
the planet Mars. Astronomers, as IA rule,
venture guess that vegetation on that
world Is red instead Of green. This is
not at all absurd as supposition. Our
own planet must have decidedly red hue
to observers during the brief season of
autumn eoloring. But this is not all of
1t. All foliage and all bark are rendered
perceptibly redder as winter approaches.

Whore Arc Theebaw.s Treasures ?

Burmah, has almost passed into oblivion
SO far as the general public is concerned.
It has been revived in England. however,
owing to an inquiry as to what has be-
come Of the treasure once possessed by
Theebaw. When Mandalay was captured
by Sir Henry Prendergast, in 1885, Thee
baw's palace contained booty valued at
twenty lakhs- Theebaw was permitted
to take away with him few valuable
articles, but the larger part Of his fortune
was seized by the English. And now,
after an interval of three years, certain
inquisitive Londoners are wondering what
became OF the rich spoils which fell to
the conquerors.-New York World.

When two swarms go together they

ing the bees between them, and brush

Sprinkling the bees with water retards
their movements, so that you are much
