UNLIMITED GUESTS.
A Kind of Bee That Makes It's Home
With the Bumblebee.

In st. Nicholas there is an article on
"Some Common Bees and How They
Live" by A. Hyatt Verrill. Mr.. Verrill
says:
Unlike tho honeybees, the bumblebee
queens, to their credit be 1t said, are not
of n jealous disposition, but live peace,
fully together in one nest until in the au-
tumn the family breaks up, the old
queens, workers and drones perishing,
while the young queens, forsaken and
alone, crawl away to some protected place
wherein to pass the winter and reappear
in the spring and found another colony.
If you should examine bumbleboe's
nest, you would probably find among our
busy, hard working friends n number of
individuals who never labor for their liv-
ing, and, although they come and go with
perfect freedom, never bring pollen or
honey, nor aid in making wax. These are
the quest bees" or inquilines, a species
which depend on their host the bumblebee
to furnish them board and rooms rent free.
The inquilines, like the European
cuckoo or the American cow bunting
among birds lay their eggs by stealth in
the bumblebees' nests. The young when
Matched are cared for by their foster par
ents, and when full grown are treated
with as much consideration as though they
were guests of honor. Why the humble
bees should permit their unlimited visitors
to remain with them j. a mystery, for, al
though some species closely resemble their
hosts in size and color, Others are quite
different. 1t can hardly be supposed,
therefore, that they are mistaken for right
full members of the colony. On this ac-
count many naturalists have thought that
they perform some important service in
return for their hospitable reception, but
of what this duty, if any, consists has
never been discovered.

Is There an Ether?

The great physicists of the day being at
one regarding the existence of this all per-
yadng ether, 10 would DO "a manifest pre-
sumption for any one standing without
tho pale to challenge so firmly rooted a be-
lief, and indeed, in any event, there
seems little ground on which to base such
a challenge Yet it may not be altogether
amiss to reflect that the physicist OF today
is no more certain of his ether than was
his predecessor of the eighteenth century
of the existence of certain alleged sub
stances which he called phlogiston, caloric,
corpusclcs of light and magnetic and cleo
trio fluids.
1t would be but the repetition OF history
should it chance that before the close OF
another century the ether should nave
taken its place along with these discarded
creations of the scientific imagination or
earlier generations. The philosopher OF
today feels very sure that an ether exists,
but when he says there Is mo doubt Oh
its existence he speaks incautiously ana
steps beyond the bounds of demonstration
He does not know that action cannot take
Mace at distance; he does not know that
empty space itself may not perform tne
functions which he ascribes to his space
filling ether. Henry Smith Williams, NJ
d., In Harper's Magazine.

ANTIQUITY OF THE ROSE.
Over One Thousand Species of the Wild
Flower known to Botanists.


The antiquity of the rose is so great that
all account of its origin has been lost. 1t
is not mentioned In the Biblical writings
earlier than the reign of Solomon but the
allusion to 1t then made is such as to in
dictate that the flower had already long
been known, for the essence of roses was
extensively used in Jerusalem and Judea
during the reign of the luxurious and
much married king. In Egypt the rose is
depicted on number of very early monu-
ments, believed TO date from 5000 to $500
b. c., and in the tomb of an Egyptian
princess, disinterred year ago in southern
Egypt, several Theoretically sealed walls
were found which when opened contained
genuine altar of roses, so that the modern
claims for the discovery of this delicious
perfume are vain.
Rose water, or the essence Of roses, Is
mentioned by Homer in the "Iliad.
Homer and Solomon were nearly contem-
poraneous Both the Greeks and Hebrews
probably borrowed the idea of its manu-

An Unfortunate Mistake.

A laughable but rather embarrassing

other day in large department store. A
gentleman who is little too fond of jok-
ing entered the store for the purpose OF
meeting his wife at a certain counter.
Sure enough, there stood lady dressed,
