The Grand banks Of Newfoundland are

usually cold and foggy there, and IN via
ter frequent gales and sno7sstorus add to
the aFSaEiuess and danger.
Western hank is near Sable island, a
long sau1aar of the coast Of Nora Scotia.
and an ocean graveyard literally ssrewn
with wrecks. The English goTernr1s n5
placed Q flock Of sheep there hncauss there
had been instances Of sailors wrecked On
the island starving TO death, bat the sheep

LEAF CUTTING BEES

Some Common Bees and How Ihay
Live" by a. Hyatt VerrilI, is an article
that appears in st. Nicholas Mr.. Verrill
says;
Perhaps some Of ny readers may have
noticed on their rosebushes q number Of
leaves in which neat round or oblong holes
were cut. This IS the work Of the lseE
cutting bee, a pretty lIttle insect looking
much like the common honeyb bee, bus
with sto8t orange red legs and metallic
gEeen reflections about the head. Although
the mutiIated leaves ara al too common,
the nest for which they are sacrificed Is
seldom seen, for this little bee Is q carpen-
ter as well as o leaf cutter and hides her
home away deep IN the heart Of some old
post or board The hole is much like that
Of her busy relative, the carpenter bee,
but smaller, and, instead Of f0rTninga tun-
mel ct right angles to the entrance, pene-
trates directly into the wood
When the hole is drilled 20 her satizfao-
ton, orr little friend stops carpenter work,
and. flying to the nearest rosehush, selects
q tender. perfect leaf From this she GUS
obIong pieces, which are carried to she
nest and formed into q thimbIa SHAPED
tube at its bottom. This tube is next filed
with pollen and honey, On which tiny
egg is placed Another trip Is taken to
the rosebush, and this time perfectly cir
cular pieces d tEifis larger than the diam
eter OF the tube are cut. These the little
worker forces into the upper end CT the
tube, forming q tightly fitting stopper.
These operations are repeated until the
hole is filed with tubes, one above anosh-
Ct. The lowest eggs hatch first, and each
young bee waits fer the oae beyond 10 go
f7-th, in the same manner as the young
