the engine he took 80 his heels right
down the path between the rails. For
about four miles we had a perfectly
straight track, and as / had heard of

of the moose was sort of trot, such

Fond OF Nature.
As an outdoor pursuit, or better a.
an outdoor interest for busy women,
bees are better than poultry. for to
many their curious ways prove an alb
sorbing study; then, too, they do not
require continuous or daily care, and
once prepared for W inter they need lit
tie or no attention during the winter
months, which is great consideration.
The profits are large in proportion to
the labor and time. Hives, frames,
sections, honey crates. etc, are mex
pensive. aud may be bought ready for
use. or the hives may be made at home,
buying the material cut TO the right
dimensions ready tonail together. They
are cheaper made in large Quantities by
machinery than they can be made at
home.if ones time is taken into account
Then. too. they are more likely 70 be
of exactly the same dimensions. as. of
course, they should be; SO that frames,
upper stories, covers, honey crates, etc,
may be interchangea Bile This is a
great advantage ut all times. but it is
especially necessary a swarming time.
when one wishes TO give a new colony
a frame of uncapped brood, from some
other hive, to keep them from swarm
ing ont Of the new home, if it is not
quite to their liking; and in the autumn
to build up a weak colony that is to be
kept over; also when pre- paring them
for winter.
The hive that is the simplest. least
complicated in construction, should be
chosen. Experience with several hives
has taught me that for northern and
northwestern states the double-walled
chaff hive is the best all-purpose hive.
1t protects the bees from all dampness,
excessive heat of the sun in summer,
which sometimes causes the combs to
break down, and from the cold of win
ter. With two colonies standing side
by side one in a chaff hive, the other
in hive the walls of which were made
of one thickness Of inch lumber and
one of half-inch, with building paper
between, the difference year after year
after was always in favor OF the bees
in the chat hive. They began brood
raising earlier in the spring and con.
tinued later in the fall, came through
the winters better and were stronger
and healthier in spring; they stored
more surplus honey and sent out earlier

sound late in the spring, and is no

sandOw Not in II with Tseetie, and GYM

Insects are for their size the strong
est members of animal creation. and
among them beetles bear away the
strength. The Hercules beetle can
support and even lift weight equal
to more than five hundred times the
weight of its own body. 1t is as if a
nan were able to raise from the ground
on his back weight of more than one
hundred and twenty tons Or per-
hsps better idea would be conveyed
by saying that to equal this a man
would have to lift five hundred other
men. The flea is also possessed of
marvellous strength and activity. 1t
can leap more than two hundred times
its own height and drag along more
than eighty times its own weight
This, says the Brooklyn Eagle, is as
though man could, from a standing
position, leap over the Eiffel tower, or
walk around bearing on his shoulder
as an ordinary burden, the carcass of
an elephant. NJ. Plateau found that
cocl1chafer can draw fourteen times
its own weight, and that a bee can
draw twenty times its own weight
From which he argues that a cock
chafer is, weight for weight, twenty
times stronger than horse, and bee
thirty times stronger than one. At the
same time Insects which cXpend much
power in rapid fight are not capable
of bearing much additional weight to
that Of their own bodies. Some can
carry weight equal to their own but
as rule not one can fly with anything
heavier than itself.
