An interesting note about the weight
OF bees appearsin an American Jour
nal devoted to agriculture, says Dr.
Andrew Wilson. It seems that an or
binary bee, not carrying any load of
pollen, weighs the one fve-thousandth
OF pound. Five thousand bees thus
make up pound weight. When, how
ever, the bee is carrying his load of
pollen or honey, as he returns from for
aging amid the flowers, his weight is
increased nearly three times. He car
rics thus about twice his own weight,
q result not surprising to those who
have studied the muscular powers and
ways of insects at large. When bees
are loaded it requires only eighteen
hundred of them to make up the pound.
Details are also given regarding the
number of bees which may exist in a
hive. From four pound to .five-pound
weight of bees are found in an ordinary
colony. This means in figures Of pop
ulation some twenty thousand to TWEEN
ty-five thousand individuals. A big
swarm, it is said, will often double this
estimate. -
Tallling of bees, If any of my readers
wish to indulge in very curious and
fascinating bit of zoological study they
should reud the story of what is called
"parthenogcnesis" in bees and other
insects, such as the aphides or green
flies of the roses and other plants For
such eggs of the queen bee rs are fer

neuters) or queens, while those which
are not fertilized Mt all develop into
males or drones. This is very singu-
lar, because fertilization of an egg or
seed is regarded ordinarily as neces-
sary for its due development. know

DANGERS OF EMOTION.
The Part That Fear Plays in Rendering
People Liable to Disease.

The Part That Fear Plays in Rendering
People Liable to Disease.
Many violent maladies have been
supposed to have been produced under
the operation Of moral influences SEN
merit believed that fear was capable of
provoking erysipelas. Hoffman also
made fear and the adynamy resulting
from it play an important part as the
predisposing cause of contagious dis
cases. On. Ii. Tulie believed, in par
ticular, in the influence of fear upon
the contagion of rabies. The break
ing out OF rabies has been sometimes
observed after psychic emotion, says
Popular Science Monthly. Bouley
cites the case of a dog which went mad
after having been Immersed in water.
Camilla cites a similar case in a man,
and another in a woman who was
frightened by drunken man. In
order to avoid the influence of fear,
Desgenettes concealed the name and
the nature of the plague; and it is to
be remarked further that the Turks
died less rapidly of it than the Chris
tians. Cullen supposed that sad emo
tions favor contagious diseases, and
particularly the plague.
This disposition to contasion after
violent emotions which determine dis
charge OF the secrettons may be partly
cSRi9ined by the fact that the con-
ditions that diminish the proportion of
the liquids of the blood favor ABSORB
tion. a, 1t, however, seems at least prob
able that the nervous discharge is ac-
companied by alterations Of the blood
and notifications of the interior me-
dinn which justify the popular express
,sions concerning having bad blood and
turning the blood

Parrots on German railroads.

Parrots have been taught to amuse
by their imitation Of the human voice,
and now their powers in this respect
have been made use of for o practical
purpose. At almost every station on n
German railway the station master
has, q parrot or a starting so trained
that whenever o train draws up at tho
platform itcommcnces calling out the
name of the station most distinctly,
and not only this, but it continues do
ing so while the train remains there.
This has been found an excellent mode
OF informing the passengers where
they are.
