WORKERS IN THE HIVE.
Description and History of the Bee That

Description and History of the Bee That
Makes the Honey.
Prof. A. j. Cook, in Rural Californian:
we have now described the queen bee,
the most important member of the bee
community, as she lays all the eggs, and
so is necessary to preserve the popula-
ton and life of colony. The drone has
also been considered, and, as we have
seen, has no use except the provocative
function; hence is wanting in the hive
except when the bees are looking for
ward, because of over-population in the
colony, to swarming. The worker bee
is shorter than either the drone or
queen, much shorter than the queen
and much smaller than the drone. The
worker bee is really an undeveloped
female. She has rudimentary ovaries.
and occasionally worker is seen that
can lay few eggs. Such bees are
known as fertile workers." and, as
they never mate, the eggs are, of course,
not formulated and only produce males
hence such bees are worse than
worthless. The wings of the workers
reach to the tip of the body. On the
outer side of the hind pair of legs are

SUFFERING SISTERS.
Curious Coincidence.
From the Express, Aurora. III.

From the Express, Aurora, Ill.,
1.-TWO years ago. said Mrs. Harry
Rhodes, whose home is at No. Blackhawk
Street, Aurora, Kane County, Illinois. .sMy
life was one Of misery because of rheumatic
affections which the most skilled physicians
of this city were powerless to cure NV
Affections were of a sciatic nature which
affected not only my hips but both legs and
feet to such degree that did not dare to
step upon the ground for fear Of bringing
on the most excruciating pains.
s'The several physicians to whom ap-
piled were powerless to aid me, and was
In very respondent condition and almost
without hope. When one day noticed a
testimonial in one Of our daily papers from
woman who had been cured Of rheumatism
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
Sanders Il Sherer's drug store is just across
the street from my husbands place OF bust
ness, and I asked him to call there and DUR
chase box of pills, which he did.
''That first box of pills worked wonders

the aid of Opiates, and with the second dav
the pains grew less and less until they de-
parted altogether, never to return. con-
tinued to take the pills, in the prescribed
doses, for several weeks when found my
self entirely cured.
''My sister, Mrs. Bert Scott, whose home
was at Duluth, Minnesota, was troubled
with rheumatic difficulties similar to mine.
Her trouble was the principal reason for
the removal of the family to Chicago, where
Mr. Scott is in the plumbing business. and
their home is now at Is Teale Court. They
expected the atmosphere of Illinois to as
sist in a cure which the physicians could
not bring about in the climate of Superior,
but my sister became no better, with the
very best of medical attendance, until
recommended DR.. Williams Pink Pills to
her: AS in my case they worked a speedy
cure, and Mrs. Scott is now entirely free
from all rheumatic disorders, and she is as
conscientious as I am in her praises OF the
remedy which has done so much to make the
lives Of two families far happier than they
were two years ago."
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco.

the deep pollen baskets, made deeper
by rim of coarse hairs. These curious
dinner pals are an important adjunct
in the bees structure furnishings, for
the young of all bees live wholly or in
large part on pollen, and thus these
busy cleaners need external dinner
pals in which to carry pollen no less
than internal ones in which to carry the
nectar. These hind legs also bear on
the inner face opposite the pollen bas-
kets rows of bright yellow hairs, which
are fashioned to comb off the pollen
that so abundantly lodges in the
branched hairs. Another most curious
arrangement of these hind legs is the
wax jaws, which remind us of steel
trap, and are admirably adapted to
their function Of removing the wax
scales from beneath the body where
they are formed to the mouth, where
maculate comb. The front pair of legs
have the curious antennae cleaners to
remove the pollen from the antennae.
Thus these antennae cleaners, with deli
cate brush and membrane, are really
the bees poclzet-handkerchie to DE
used to wipe the bees nose-the an
tennae. Thus the antennae are kept
clean and so the bees can smell the
scent of bloom from afar. The eyes
of the workers are like those of the
queen; but the jaws and tongue are
greatly different from those of either
drone or queen. The jaws are gouge-
like, and, no doubt, admirably fitted to
fashion the comb, or to cut away dis
turbing cloth, paper OF even wood.
The tongue is long, slender and very
complex. With it they can sip slowly
from long tubular flowers, lap or wipe
thick honey from board or glass, and
take nectar rapidly from loaded flowers.
A colony of bees have been known to
take 20 pounds of honey in day, and
a single colony in southern California
have taken 600 pounds in season. The
worker bees do all the work Of the hive.
The younger bees digest the food for
larvae queen and drones,- fashion the
wax, nurse the young, construct the
comb-though in some respects all the
bees are comb builders-in short, do
all the work of the hive. The older
bees gather the nectar, pollen and
glue, and may aid to build comb and
secrete wax. The worker bees are
reared in the small horizontal cells and
are Fl days from eggs to maturity, in
stead of lG, as in the case of the queen,
or "a as in the case of the drone. The
quantity of food fed to the larvae is
what controls the development OF
either queen or worker. If the food is
abundant and rich, the impregnated
egg produces queen; but if it is scant
and of poor quality then worker re-
suits. Here is a case where enforced
lack of nutrition has become natural
and produces important structural
changes that modify greatly the life
functions.

Cultivation in Wet Weather.

It has long been known that beans
will rust if they are cultivated while
their leaves are wet so that soil will
stick to them. Many farmers now be
ieve that the leaves Of the potato, espe-
cially in the late stages of their growth,
are equally liable to be injured by cuIti-
walton when wet. It is good plan to
let the cultivator lie idle in rainy
time anyway. Weeds are killed better
while the soil is dry, while if cultivat ted
during rainy spell they are only trans
planted and made harder to kill than
ever.

NEW CHART OF THE HEAVENS.

A complete series of star charts, by mem
ber OF the California Academy OF Sciences, the
work of some years of study and applica ii on,
is about to be offered to the public. 1t con-
sists of series of six star charts for the use of
schools, amateurs, non-professional astrono-
mers and observers. There are four equa-
torial charts, containing all the stars visible
to the naked eye from the fifty-ffth degree
north TO the fifty fifth degree south declina-
ton, and two charts of the hemis pheres from
the poles to the equator.
The equatorial charts overlap two hours
right ascension each, showing every constella-
ton entire. Every star is named, lettered or
numbered in accordance with the star cata-
logues The path of the sun, moon and planets
are from the American Ephemeris and Nau-
ticsl Almanac, showing the loops in the track
of the planets as they appear to wander among
the stars There are selections of the most in
teresting clusters, double stars, variables and
nebuIse: also list of the brightest stars in the
consultations, with their Hebrew and Arabic
names and meanings, from the writings of
Uluh Beigh, an astronomer OF the fftee nth
century "a. D. 1420).
The charts are made from the star cata.
logues of the United States Observers, the

The charts are blue prints, showing the
stars clear and white on q dark background,
easily seen by moonlight, extremely conven-
lent for amateur observers who do not care To
burden themselves with the larger works and
the confused mass of stars of the lesser maeni-
tudes.
Any person with these charts and the help of
Lockyer's Elementary Astronomy and a few
evenings study can easily distinguish the
consultations and point out all the principal
stars visible and realize the beauty and sub
Unity of the study of astronomy. Astronomy
is not SO difficult study as is generally sup
