Both bees and BUTTERFLIES have four
wings. but in a bee these are small and
transparent. while a butterfly has them
large and delicately colored. Then the
bee let's US know il is at the flower by
the hum ii makes usually (there are a
few quiet species of bees, however). and
the butterfly, whether 1t be large or
small, comes and goes silently.
Again, a butterfly only sips honey to
refresh itself. but the bee frequently
gathers from the flowers a store which
is laid up in cells for it's own food or
that of the young bees.
No weapon has the strongest butterfly
with which to defend itself. 1t must
flee for its life If in danger. while near
ly every kind OF bee 10 armed with a
sting and has sharp cutting jaws too.
Some people have an idea that the COM
mon humble or humble bee, known by
its belted body and noisy enough to be
heard some distance off, has no sting.
1t is true. as compared with many bees,
this one is peaceable. Still there are
times when bumblebees are irritable,
and then they will prove to any doubt
er, il handled roughly, that the sting is
not merely for show.

the second received s cents, 80 that to-
gether they received 12h cents each
day.
But one day the old apple woman who
sold six for cent was too iii to go to
market and she asked her neighbor to
take her apples and sell them for her.
This the other kindly consented to do.
and when she got to market with the
two baskets of apples she said to her.
SELF II will put all the apples into one
basket, for II will be easier.
SO she put the so apples into one bas-
ket, and she said to herself, "Now. IL
sell four apples for cent and Kitty
Webber''--which was her old friends 8
name--"sells six for a cent, that is the
same thing as selling five apples for q
cent. therefore will sell five for =
cent"
When she had sold the so apples. she
found that she had only IL cents. which
was right, because there are IL fives

But II the other old woman had been
there. and each one had sold her apples
separately, they would have received
12h cents. How is this mystery to be
explained?

OUR RIFLE AND SPANS.

The respective values of the Krag-
Jorgensen and Mauser rifles were the
subject of much discussion in the cam
paign. In general superiority seemed to
be conceded to the Spanish arm. Its nat
trajectory is about $50 yards. Its rival
Is set down as firing line shot 900
yards, but some officers say that above
600 the muzzle must be slightly elevat-'
ed. The Mauser gives greater veloc-
ity to its bullets and in penetrating pine
wood has an advantage. The wound II
infiicts is more humane. Conversely. IL
is less likely to stop a man whom u
wounds from fighting on. 1t Is loaded
with package magazine. so that the
five cartridges can be slipped In az cas-
lily as one into the Krag-Jorgensen.
For the American arm greater sim
plicity in mechanism and consequently
less likelihood of getting out OF order in
service is asserted. This was an inn
portant factor in the selection OF the
model by the government. Then Il Is
more easily handled as a single fire run.
The utter uselessness and worse Of the
Springfield rife. with It's smoke pro-
ducing powder. was demonstrated The
regulars learned to dread the proximity
OF Springfield rifle worse than the
smallpox. They would not allow one to
be fired near them. and the poor vol
unteers were a marked lot unless they
fiocked by themselves.
Another mooted military problem on
which the practice varied In this CAM
paign is that of volley firing. Against
an enemy drawn up in line II ID OF
course superb, but nowadays battles
are not fought that way. A substituto
for the volley recognized by the tactics
is the counted cartridge fire. In this TIN
order Is to shoot, say. five times and then
stop. This method insures greater ac-
curacy and prevents waste Of ammuni~
ton.

latest offense by banishment. to the is

companions, he might at least have no
incentive to wrongdoing.
The island of Lanai had of late been
afflicted with a terrible scourge OF
gnomes and monsters. These made IL
their business to destroy the growing
things in the fields, uproot cocoanut
and banana trees, destroy the fish
ponds, let loose the swine and horses
and frighten the inhabitants half out

land. 1t was partly because King Kau-
Iulaau thought that the gnomes and

Prince Kaululsau willingly promised
this. and ere long. with his few attend
ants, was seated I'm the boat scudding
over the sea toward Lanai.
His welcome at that island was not
very cordial, for his bad reputation had
preceded him, and the few inhabitants
left there thought they had troubles

THE HISTORY OF SHIPS.

Any boy or girl who takes the trouble
10 follow the history OF ships from the
first rude canoe which the early saw
ages dug from single log to the mag
nificent war vessels like the Oregon will
discover much OF interest.
The development of the art OF ship
building has not been dependent upon
the degree Of civilization. for there is no
reason TO suppose that the nations OF
today are any more civilized than were
the ancient Egyptians. who had MASTER
ed many arts at which we are as yet
only guessing. or than the ancient
Greeks, who were the most cultured
and elegant people OF antiquity.
The countries OF today have many
ships and fine navies because the world
has more people than before and be-
cause they are more luxurious as a
whole. The Roman senator who had
oysters brought from the coast OF dis
tant Britain TO grace his feasts was
looked upon as very marvel OF ex-
iavagance. Now ships are plying the
ocean night and day to carry all sorts
OF luxuries to people all over the earth,
who get them as a matter OF course at
very moderate prices compared TO the
thousands Of sesterces which the old
Roman gourmand was compelled to
pay for his.
In those days only the people of noble
birth were given any consideration. and
these were content to jog along as their
ancestors had done before them. Indeed
they would have considered II a sacri-
improved on the old gaIleys which had
been good enough for their fathers.
When the world became more thickly
settled and the common people more
and more asserted their rights. thoughts
OF discovering new countries. where ev-
cry one might have better chance and
with which ii might be profitable TO
trade, awakened an interest in better
and safer means of reaching these dis
| tant or unknown lands. Instead OF the
galleys, which had been rowed by slaves
or prisoners. the vessels began to be
built with masts. but were not decked
over. 1t was with such ships that Co.
lumbus discovered America. With sc
rich a country on the other side of the
earth shipbuilders had double incen.
| tive to offer more perfect vessels fol
sale. and the covered deck sailing shir
was evolved.
| On the Hudson river a man of tho
name OF Robert Fulton learned how tc
use steam TO make boats go without the
aid OF wind. on which they had up tc
that time depended, and another ad-
vance had been made.
Since then many improvements have
followed. such as covering war vessels
with plates of steel to protect them
from the enemy's shots. What the new
est advance will be II is not difficult to
guess. 1t will be the application OF elec-
tricity to increasing the speed.
| The time may come when ships will
cross the ocean at the rate OF mile a
minute. making the voyage to Europe
in about two days. The Strengthening
of the structure of vessels and ease in
maneuvering as well as speed are a,

in war vessels. for. with the deadly guns
and explosives now in use in the navy

that can fight and run away that will
be of use for fighting another day.
