THE BUNDLE BEE.
He Does Not Fear the Cold and Very
Frequently Is Found In the
Arctic Region.

In st. Nicholas there is an article on
"The Bumble Bee" written by Bar
ney Hoskin Standish. Mr.. Standish
says:
This chunky, hairy, noisy fellow is
king Of the cold. He stays with us
summer and winter, and is said to pre-
fer the Arctic region to the tropics.
do not doubt this, for he will sleep
out of doors any cold night of sping or
fall without asking for an extra blan-
ket. Indeed, he is homeless for nine
OF ten months of the year, lodging
wherever night overtakes him, on a
blossom, a leaf, and even upon the
ground. If he has any choice in the
matter 1 think he prefers the thistle,
where the spines are thickets. Per-
haps he is aware that these stingers
will guard him from the skunk and the
snake while his own are in a body stiff
fened by cold and drowsy with sleep.
There are three kinds of humble bees
reared in a nest; queens, drones and
workers. The queens alone survive
the winter. They apparently spend
the first few weeks of spring waiting
for red clover to bloom, the first bios
som of which is the signal for nest
building. Before this they visit the
willows, hum soft bass about the
lilacs, thrust their long tongues into
the honeysuckles and grow fat at the
exhaustless honey jars of the water
leaf, and then the play day ends and
labor begins.
Nest building with them does not
mean nest construction. One bee alone
could not do that; besides she is in a
big, bustling hurry now; she has act
ually seen a clover blossom. Out and
in among the dead, matted grasses of
last years growth she goes hunting

Bees as weapons OF War.

There are at least two recorded in
stances in which bees have been used
as weapons of war. When the Roman
general, Lucullus, was warning against
the city of Themiscyra. AS the sol
diers besieged the walls the inhabit-
ants threw down on them swarms of
bees, and the valiant Romans raised
the siege. These doughty little insects
were also once used with equal success
in England. The city of Chester was
once besieged by Danes and Nor
wegians, but it's Saxon defenders
threw down on them the beehives of
the town, and the invaders fed in dis
may. We wonder what effect such a
defense would have on modern troops?

TEACHING IN ALASKA.
school Where There Were
Few Textbooks.

Miss Anna Fuloomer writes an
article for the CentHry on "The Three
RS at Circle City" Miss Fulcomer
says:
The greatest drawbacks to my
school work was the lack of books.

that of his fellows. The little ones

ing, that l was afraid l would lose
many of the older ones altogether.
At this juncture, however, the mis-
sionary of the Church of England,
who was stationed for the winter at
Circle City, kindly helped me out by
the loan of number of books, states
and pencils. Among these books were
six primers and first readers. How
happy / was to get them, even though
they had to be divided among 20
children! l doubt if such a medley
of books was ever before seen in a
school room; set of ordinary school
books for intermediate grades, in
cluding physical geography and a
worlds history; English readers,
spoilers and little paper-covered arith-
metics; 20 pages from "Christy's Old
Organ;" about half of the New Testa-
ment; 100 pages from THE Woman in
White;" parts of four other novels;
newspaper scraps and a couple of the
queerest possible little religious
primers, published by London tract
society. The leaves of some of the
books were yellow with age, having
been taken into that region by some
miners who had studied them 30 or
more years ago. 1t was amusing to
watch the children spelling out the
words and trying to read in these
scraps of old books and papers.

Never hear his horses feet.
They never see him scatter
What he holds within his hand,
And that is why they wonder
Where the Sandman keeps his sandl
He rides DER beds Of poppies
And he rides o'er fields of hay;
And sure he gathers something

How the Sandman gets his sandt
