There are others who believe that
extraordinary precautionary measures
taken by the bee are only the result
of coincidence. and that chance plays
the chief part in them. This hypoth-
esis is not tenable Besides. the bee
keepers OF all countries agree in say
ing-and their attention must have
been called to the phenomenon-that
every time that the bees have taken
care TO seal Theoretically the entrances
to the hive, so as TO leave but
minute passage fer air, the winter has
been of extreme vigor On the other
hand. the years when the bees have
done nothing to preserve themselves
from the cold have been marked by
relatively mild winters during which
no heavy froSts have occurred.
Here the question naturally pre-
sents itself: How can the bee foreSee
the weather SO far in advance, when
man with all his intelligence and has
knowledge has not yet succeeded in
doing this?
Must We suppose that, toward the
end Of the summer, q rigorous winter
is heraIded by drafts of air of excep-
tionally low temperature, that escape
our perceptions and cur instruments,
but are perceived by the bee. and util-
lied by it as signs that it must take
measures, in due time. fer protection
against the cold?
However it may be. before this in

of a large number of bee-keepers, every

OF winter; nay, more, the bee seems to
understand a long time in advance
whether the winter is TO be mild or Sc
we're. Between the migra tory birds and
the bee there is this difference: The
former are driven away by the cold
and the bad weather from the regions
where they are; the latter are guided by
a special instinct of foresight. an in
stinct which / make bold to call the
bees meteorology.
But the bee does not know how to
flee from the approach OF the winter,
and cannot do so; he cannot abandon
the store SO laboriously laid up during
the fine weather. he cannot leave the
hive where he has put away the neces-
sites of life for the coming winter.
Many times have 1 witnessed the
vigilance and foresight of the bee.
Forty years ago bee keepers were still
using the old miter-shaped straw hives
with two openings or entrances. Well.
l noticed that about the beginning OF
October the bees stopped up these two
entrances with wax so as to leave pas
sage for only one bee at q time, thus
giving lesson TO the bee-keeper who
had neglected to put board over the
entrances to prevent the Introduction OF
cold air.
Certain persons think that the bee
plasters up these openings as the cold
increases, but this is an error. The
bee knows enough TO take his precau-
tionary measures in good time, for

OPEN AFTER CENTURIES.
The Famous Borgia Rooms in the
Vatican.

The famous Borgia rooms in the
Vatican in Rome are now opened to
the public for the first time in 400
years. The guides showing visitors
through the Pope's palace. in passing
the door giving access into the splendid
suite Of apartments, have piously
crossed themselves and muttered an
Ave. With a wave of the hand they
have passed by the apartments dis
dainfully, giving them the title Of
''Chambres Maudits," and the door La
Porte aux Enters
Behind the closed doors have been
hidden some Of the most beautiful
frescos and specimens Of the masters
genius to be found in Rome. But be-
cause the rooms were built and dec
grated for the use Of Alexander Wis
daughter Lucretia, they were accursed
in the eyes Of every good Catholic.
So centuries passed, and the frescos
and works OF art so zealously hidden
came to be looked upon as myths, but
history recorded the fact that they re-
ally did exist, and Pope Leo XIII. has
finally had them restored and opened
to the public.
These rooms were added to the
Vatican and decorated by order of Pope
Alexander VI. just after Perugino had
finished the execution Of his frescos
in the Sistine Chapel. The master to
whom the work was given was Pintu-
ricchio. who had been a pupil of Peru.
gino, and had himself done no inconsid-
cradle portion of the decorations in the
Sistine Chapel.
Pintur1cchio. whose full name was
Bernadino di Botti, was the son of q
citizen OF Perugia. and was one OF q
very important group of painters who
inherited the artistic traditions and de-
veloped the style of the older Perugian
painters. such as Boufigli and Florence
di Lorenzo.
Pinturicchio was summoned to Rome
in 1892 by Pope Alexander vi. and
employed to decorate a suite Of six
rooms in the Vatican, which Alexander
had just built. These rooms were called
after their founder. "Appartamenti
Borgia," and now form part of the
Vatican Library. Five of them still
retain the fine series of frescos with
which they were decorated by Pintu-
rfcchio. the upper part of the walls and
vaults not only covered with paintings
but further enriched with delicate
stucco work in relief, as masterpieces
of decorative design. They are con-
