Is a native of the great Amazon forests,
where it builds its nest in the ground
near the foot of tree. The Indians
catch the young birds and tame them.
In due time they become valuable as
sistants, tending f1ocks of sheep, fowls,
or other farm stock with great eff
cheney, and they show great affection
for their masters. Several other South
American birds are said to have the
same instinct of caring for other ami

The value of the bee lies in it's tongue.
and, as the usefulness of this member
as honey-eXtractOr is supposed to
vary with its length, efforts are being
made in France to develop an improv-
ed-or long tOngued-raee of bees. The
tongue is measured by two methods.
M. Charlton uses a box HAVING cover
of wire netting and a slightly in
clined bottom, the bees which reach
through the netting and suck sweets
from the bottom farthest down the in
cline being those with the longest
tongues. The apparatus of M. Legros
is a vessel Of sweetened liquid, with a
perforated tin-plate cover which eau
be adjusted at any desired height above
the liquid. Ordinary bees are found to
have tongues with length of SIS mil
limetres (abOut One-fourth of an inch).
while those of the ulack French bees
reach 81 millImetres, and those of the
best American bees have a maximum
length of 8.73 millimetres. The hives
whose bees extract syrup from the
greatest depths are preserved as stock
for reproduction.
