a piece of paper on its back between
the head and wings, with isinglass,
taking care not to smirch the head or
wings with the stuff.
Then the window was opened and NJ
Taynac mounted fast horse and made
for his friends place. Arriving there,
he saw what he had expected: The
bees fluttering to and fro in front OF
the big hive, whose ordinary entrance
had been barred by the addition Of a
tin case with very small entrance holes.
The bees, therefore, could not get in
until the master had unfastened the
paper containing the message from
their backs. Then they crawled in,
the holes being just large enough to
admit their bodies.
These experiments were repeated un-
til the bees in the hive got quite accus.
toned to them and submitted grace
fully to the method Of fastening and
loosening the messages.
The paper on which the message is
written is fastened by one end, cut in
two parts. The uninitiated may think
that SO small paper would hardly do
for war dispatches or any other sort
of correspondence, but they forget the
possibilities Of microscopic writing, the
best specimen of which is exhibited at
the United States Army Medical mu-
scum at Washington.
A square inch will accommodate, in
microscopic chirography, 90, 9,431. .45s let
ters.
The number of letters contained In
the entire Old and New Testaments Is
but 3,566,4s0. Hence the number oil
letters which a square inch might ac.
commodate, written out in microscopic
writing would be more than eight times
this last number.
The inadequate travelling capacity OF
the bee alone seems to stand in the way
of the employment of the insect for the
purposes intended. They can be used
only over very short circuits, and to
cover longer distance-say from Paris
to the frontier-there must be many
hundred relay stations.
Another circumstance in disfavor oi
the bee is that the little insect is easily
blown about by the wind, and is there.
fore liable to lose its course.
But if the French employ bees fol
aids-de-camp the Germans are equally
advanced. for they have already in.
stalled dogs in their ambulance service
The German army dog, Of whom
much is expected in time of war, Is
trained to discover wounded soldiers
on and neay the battlefield in places
where otherwise they might be over
looked.
Lately the efficiency Of the intelligen,
animal in this new sphere was tested
at Neuwied. One Of the dogs succeeded
in discovering within half an hour eight
soldiers who had hidden themselves in
bitches. In each case the animal re
turned to his trainer and conducted
him straight to the wounded" man il
the ditch. At night the ambulance dog
carries small electric lamp, SO that his
master may not lose sight Of him.

BEES AS MESSENGERS.

Nations Next Fall Out.


Dogs and bees threaten to play .
prominent part in the next great war.
NJ. Taynac, q noted bee master OF
Versailles, is about to turn over to the
French minister of war a hive con-
tanning several thousand bees trained
for messenger service. They are ex-
pected to take the place of the "an-
tiquated carrier pigeons, which," says
M. Taynac, may do very well in times
Of peace, but will be utterly useless In
war, as the new far-reaching rifles
make the pigeons an easy target for
sharpshooters. Thus not only will
their mission be interfered with, but
the very dispatches they carry will fall
into the hands of the enemy"
Similar objections cannot apply to
bees, which, on account of their small
ness, must necessarily escape bullets,
though, of course, special firearms to
fight them may be invented in time.
Disregarding this for the present, the
minister of war has signified his inten-
ton Of looking into the matter.
OF course. working bees can only be

used for the service; queen bees and
dfones would be Of no use whatever.
M Taynac, before he entered upon the
enterprise, had observed that bees

they accomplished usually in from 20

master employed the following train

He presented one Of his friends, liv-
Ing about ten miles from Versailles,
with a small beehouse, stocked with
plenty of honey. After the bees had
become accustomed to their new sur
roundings dozen or more were placed
in small cage with wire roof, SO as
to admit air; the cage was taken to
Versailles and the bees were liberated

Not in the distant grave yard with the

With her dear grandma's arms around her

And ell her little playthings with her

fall like summer showers
For the sun Of hope shine through them'
You shall see your darling's face once

Nav we be blessed in training the children
we have left,
That they may meet that dear little sister
of whom they are bereft.
Our precious little Della, your form no

But with our blessed Saviour thou ever
