How Bees Find Their Dinners

Learned mon who are Interested in
the study OF plants and insects hive
been long trying to find out how bee,
know just what flowers will afford them
honey 1t has been thought that tbs
colors guided them to the honey bear
ers. y foreign professor who has bean
watching the bees in his own garden
contradicts this idea very strongly. lie
says that the bees are guided to the
flowers largely by their sense OF smell.
To discover whether the colors of flow
ers exerted any attraction the bright
petals of some single dahlias. lobelias,
evening primroses, foxgioves and other
flowers were covered with bits of green
leaf or removed altogether. but in every
case the flowers were found 10 be freely
visited. No special distinction was made
by the insects between the mutilated
flowers and those that were whole.
When. however, the nectary or honey
bearing parts Of flowers were removed,
while the colored petals remained. the
insects neglected these flowers. on the
other hand, the scarlet geranium and
other scentless flowers. which are sell
dom If ever visited by insects on ac-
count of the absence of honey. immedi-
ately became renters OF attraction when
little honey or nectar was placed upon
them. The young readers of this page
can verify or disprove this by their owe
experiments.

Death Rate In Battle.

OF the IL decisive battles Of the world
the average death rate in the last five
of them ,of which alone reliable Stats
ties are preserved) was about 25 per
cent, ranging from 20 per cent, the Brit
ish loss at Saratoga, to AZ per cent the
loss of the Swcdes at Pultowa or other
great battles 1t is difficult to fix the av-
erage death rate, though it may be esti-
mated at about 20 per cent. The rates
range from 90, the German loss at Sc
dan, to 80 per cent. the British loss at
bloody Albuera. AS a matter of fact
things stand very much as they used to,
save that the slaughter, when it does
occur, always comes more quickly. A
great battle in which the quick firing
guns can be brought into effective use
will probably increase the death rate
largely, but that remains to be proved
General statistics prove that since the
Trojan war, 5000 years ago, not a single
year has elapsed in which some war has
not caused the killing of large number
of men. while 1t is calculated that all
the worlds wars are responsible for the
deaths of at least $4,000. 100000 human
beings

The Trade of Porto Rico.

The little island of Porto Rico Is only
as large as three average counties. The
motive advanced for permanent possess
sion of it is found in its geographical
location and fitness for the naval base
which the United States must have in
the West Indies with the building of
the Nicaragua canal. But Porto Rico
is a more desirable acquisition in itself
than most Americans are aware. With
only So miles width to the 95 miles
length little Porto Rico has been sup

ness of s3O.00o.o00 year with other ma
tons.

II should think Rover would be very

tached to the wagon, and when we
started my father got out two OF the
farm horses, and off we went in fine
style.
John drove the cart, and we boys
were seated on the boards that crossed
the old boat. 1t was with a great way
ing of handkerchcfs and flags that We
departed. Mother had given us a large
hamper of luncheon. While we were
away she said she would go home to
visit her mother and get rested for the
fall cleaning.
I'VE drove 25 miles the first day and
put up that night at an old farmhouse,
although we would have preferred TO
camp out in the tent. The end of the
second day saw us at the lake. We set
up the tent, cooked a few potatoes over
wood fire and fried some bacon which
we had brought and then wrapped our
selves up in the blankets and went to
sleep on our beds of birch boughs. The
horses were tied near the tent, and our
dogs, who were very vigilant fellows,
kept guard all night.
I'VE staid for two weeks buying our
food ut the country store at the cross
roads four miles away. to which the
boys used to take turns in riding when
ever we needed anything. 1t was part
OF our policy to carry as little baggage
as we could manage We found we could
get everything we wanted with very lit
tie trouble along the way
when we got tired OF camping at
one place. we would mount the boat on
the wagon, hitch up the horses and

hathed and tramped the woods looking
for berries and wild flowers.

UNIQUE CARRIAGE BOAT
FOR
WOODLAND VACATIONS.

The four Gardner boys were the live
Nest youngsters in the county, or had
the reputation of being such which is
sometimes almost the same thing. No
matter when or where you met them
they seemed TO be enjoying themselves,
and it was this capacity for extracting
pleasure from almost any situation that
won them the suspicion of many Of
their elders and the admiration Of all
Of their boy friends. When vacation
time came, Mr.. Gardner told his family
that. owing to the war. he did not think
1t best for the family to spend the sum
mor at the seashore as usual and that
besides, on account of the depressed
condition of business, they ought to
stay at home anyway.
When they heard this the four Gard
nor boys for moment looked depress-
ed. They ate their dinner in silence
each wrapt in thought. When they had
carefully cleared their plates Of the
pudding. one after the other they filed
out 60 the carriage house, on an upper
floor of which they had worlroom.

Our Machinery In England.

\ significant item is found in the re-
ports of an English ordnance factory
where 1,50O men are employed night and
day. The manager. who is an eX-navy
officer, has been authorized to spend
$4,000 on new buildings and $4,000 on
new machinery. 1t is stated that the
whole of the latter sum will he eXpend-
ed in the United States. as the Ameri-
cans only produce such machines as are
wanted.
All this new plant will be driven by
electricity, and an Ohio firm has the
contract for the whole of il. The ma
