HIND LEGS, LARGELY MAGNIFIED.
the deep pollen baskets, made deeper
by a 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
they are fashioned to form the im-
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 pocket-handkerchie to be
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 OF queen. The jaws are gouge-
like, and, no doubt, admirably fitted tn
fashion the comb, or to cut away dis
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 a season. The
worker bees do all the work of the hive.
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 81 days from eggs to maturity, in
stead of 16, 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 case where enforced
lack of nutrition has become natural
and produces important structural
changes that modify greatly the life
functions.

the removal of the family TO Chicago, where
Mr. Scott is in the plum bing business. and
their home is now at Is Teale Court. They
expected the atmosphere OF Illinois to as

not bring about in the climate of Superior,

A CIGAR FACTORY.

WaycrOss.

waycross, Ca, March 19-Mr. Ellis Of
Dade City, Fla, and who is tobacco
grower and a cigar maker, will open up
a cigar factory next Monday in the VIII
son block on Albany avenue, near Plant
avenue. He will employ four or five ex-
perienced cigar makers at once.
The sandy soil OF Ware county, accord
ing to the opinion of experienced tobacco
growers ana as mas been proven by the re-
suit of the experiments of three years
on the experimental tobacco farm four
miles from Waycross, will produce a fine
quality of cigar leaf and a good plug to-
bacco. The tobacco market was very
discouraging few years ago, and as the
leaf only obtained a small price, the ex-
perimental farm was abandoned. A ma
jOrity of the leaf grown on the expert
mental farm was manufactured into ci-
gars by a home cigar factory and a good
local trade was obtained for the various
brands of cigars. But the enterprise was
not sufficiently encouraged by local anu
foreign patronage for it to continue In
operation, and IL was suspended
Tobacco can be grown as proftably In
Ware county as in Decatur county. In
Decatur county the tobacco crop is be-

small, the farmers will make initial
experiments.
