UNLIMITED GUESTS.
A Kind of bee That Makes It's Home
with the Bumblcbce.


In st. Nicholas there is an article on
"Some Common Bees and How They
Live" by A. Hyatt Verrill. He says:
Unlike the honey bees, the humble
bee queens, to their credit be it said,
are not of jealous disposition, but
live peacefully together in one nest
until in the autumn the family breaks
up, the old queens, workers and drones
perishing, while the young queens, for
saken and alone, crawl away to some
protected spot, wherein to pass the win
ter and reappear in the spring and
found another colony.
If you should examine Cbumblebee's
nest you would probably find among
our busy, Woodworking friends a num-
Der of individuals who never labor for
their living, and although they come
and go with perfect freedom, never
bring pollen or honey. nor aid in max
ing wax. These are the guest bees"
or inquilines, q species which depend
OH their host the bumblebee to fur
n;sh them board and rooms rent free.
The inqulines, 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 parents, and when full-grown
are treated with as much consideration
as though they were guests of honor.
Why the bumbleDees should permit
their unlimited visitors to remain with
them is a mystery; for although some
species closely resemble their hosts In
size and color, others are quite differ
ent. 1t can hardly be supposed, there
fore, that they are mistaken for right
full members of the colony. On this
account many naturalists have thought
that they perform some important
service in return for their hospitable
receptions; but of what this duty, IL
any, consists has never been discovered.

ntrd,. nest ON Sleeps Back.

What is certainly an odd occurrence
is reported from Michigan. While a
farmer was shearing sheep, little
brown egg fell from the fleece and
broke on the floor. The shearer inves-
tigated and found birds nest on the
sleeps back, so constructed that with
ordinary treatment the eggs could not
roll out; but the bird had not figured on
the clipping of the wool. The nest, Of
course, was warmer than the ordinary
kind would have been; but how the
mother bird could distinguish which of
the flock of sheep bore her nest is diff,
ficult question to answer.

OF my life in Hong Kong need not
speak in detail. 1t was combination
of hard work, which soon led to pro-
motion, and such sports as are to be
found in the island. Having been a

front in cricketing circles; and, singu-
larly enough, it was my interest in
cricket which led TO consequences-to
Bertha and myself-as far-reaching as
they were sad. had been chosen as
one of the eleven to represent Hong
Kong against Shanghai, upon the sad
and memorable occasion when the Box
hara was wrecked on the return voy-
age, and, with a few exceptions, all
hands were lost. BY what seemed to
me the merest fluke at the time, man
aged to cling to plank, and after be-
ing tossed about, till nearly dead, by
the surf, was thrown ashore thorough
ly exhausted. The news of the catas-
trophe cast gloom over the entire Eu-
ropean population, and it was cabled
home that all were lost. Before the
news was eorrected Bertha was mar
ried-and married to Royal Phelps.
Her father, shortly after the death
of mine, had succumbed to pneumonia,
and Bertha with her mother had
greatly to their surprise-been left in
comparative poverty. So that when
Royal renewed his suit Bertha had
yielded, and 10 gain a home for her
moth had consented IN IN eorlv NAV
riage. And when the news reached
England that / with two lers had
been saved from the Bokk~ !, Bertha
was already the wife of another. l
shall never forget the effect upon me
of the news that she was no longer
free. The meaning seemed to have
been taken out of life, and for me there
was no joy in the present, no hope in
the future.

Petitions to the county attorney
and city council of Wellington to
close the joints N that city we're
circulated in the churches here Sun
day. The principal INTEREST," lies Ia
the fact that many young people from
the country districts are expecting to
attend the county high school, and
their parents and friends desire the
temptation OF the joints removed. IL
is now very clear that if the county
high school is patrOnized as il shOuld
be, Wellington will have to be cleared
OF the immoral influences that now
iufest the city. Probably three
f0urths of the people favor the peti.
tions.-ATgOiDa Clipper
The VOICE is of the opinion that
the trainers Of this petition have made
a mistake. The petition should first
be directed to the city authorities.
The city attorney was taken to task
recently by the editor Of the South
Haven New Era as to why he did not
proceed against the joints and stated
that the malt ordinance was in the
way, that it was almost impossible TO
convict while this ordinance was 10
force. OF course 1t is just as difficult
for the county attorney as for the
city attorney to convict, in the face
Of the malt ordinance. This being
the case it would seem that the better
plan would be to petition the city
government for relief, and let the city
stand the expense rather than the
county. Many have signed the peti.
tion with this parenthetical reserva.
tion, and we think it wise. Should
these petitions fail OF having the
desired effect then the county
attorney could consistently be ap-
pealed to to give relief, and would
be amply justified in inaugurating a
vigorous war on the joints.
