which Frank Dennis had dropped on
the floor he stopped and carefully re-
stored to its place. He picked up n
stray bit Of paper. and looking about
him for the waste-basket, stepped light

Next he espied the glass fruit dish dan
gerously near the edge OF the table,
drawn there by Emory Haines. After
apparently rejecting for minute and
measuring with his eye the probability
that jar from the opening door might
send the dish to the floor, jamie step

set it back in the middle of the table
where it belonged. Then turned away
and gave his attention to some little
children whom he could see from the
window.

There was an odd mixture of Tom Hood
and Charles Lamb in Mr.. Cox's intellectual
makeup. A born optimist, he rarely saw
the worst side of any thing, and his hopeful,
beaming, ever-gay manner in public and
private was often mistaken for mistimcd
humor, bubbling over in utter disregard Of
conventionalities. His ready repartee, his
unfailing smile, his grotesque vocabulary
and his keen appreciation Of the absurd as
pect of every situation strengthened the
impression that the graver side OF noble
character had been covered up IN the multi
tudinous springs Of mirth that welled upin
his heart and flowed like q Niagara from
his lips.
Comedy assumed the mask Of tragedy
and hung over his whole life. Few NOR
tails complain of too much enjoyment. With
Mr.. Cox the trouble was that people mis-
| took his serious efforts for circus, his de-
nunciatlon for sarca Sun, his perorations for
witty climaxes. He was forced, even
against his will, to laugh; for they would
not let him be sad If he could.

l have seen single bee clinging to
a smoothly dressed board with it's front
feet, and supporting living chain Of
twenty-five bees. thus supporting
twenty-five times her own weight, for
an indefinite time. There was time
when was puzzled to know how the bee
could hold on to the smooth board and
sustain such weight. But the magni-
flying glass reveals finely curved claw
at the extremity of each OF the front
pair OF legs, and these enable the bee
to cling to the wood in any position,
with its back down as we'll as other
wise. But how does the bee manage
to run up pane OF glass or sheet Of
polished metalP Her sharp claws will
not serve her in this case. Well, ma
ture has provided for that in wonder
full way. once had theory to account
for this wonderful feat But when l
commenced to study the anatomy of
the bee under the magnifying glass
my theory was found to be wide of
the mark. The glass shows an in
finitesimal gland in the soles OF the
feet, which secrete substance of suffi-
cient tenacity to enable the bee to cling

but they have backward and forward
movement, and each Of the pair is indie
pendent Of the other in its movements.
The old class of naturalists believed
that the honey bee, as an artist and a
builder, was mason" But such is
not the fact In the case. The honey
bee is a smith. She draws out her
work, using her mandibles in the place
OF the smiths hammer. 1t would be a
simple imposibility to build wall as
thin as that Of the honey comb by any
other process Beeswax is the result OF
digested honey, just as tallow results
from the digestion Of the food OF the
OK. But the beeswax. instead Of adher
ing to the flesh, as in the case of fat
animals. passes out OF the body Of the
bee, through one Of the six false peck
cts on the under side OF the abdo

or pellets. and while they are warm and
pliable the bees seize them with theil
mandibles and weld them to the rim
of the cells, and continue to draw on
the combs until the proper depth OF tn
cells are reached. The cell walls are a
thin as the finest tissue paper known t,

have sufficient strength to support tn
