Barometric Bees.

Whoever observes these interesting
insects finds 1t easy enough TO foretell
exactly the kind OF weather TO bs ex-
pected. At least this Is the opinion OF
many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home
when rain is in the air. When the sky
Is simply dark and cloudy, these busy
workers do not leave their dwelling all
at once. A few go out first, as though
the queen had sent out messengers to
study the state OF the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin TO dissipatc, and
IL is only then that the battnlions en-
tire rush out In SEARCH Of their nectar.
A bee never goes out In u fog, because
II is well aware that dampness and
cold are two fearsome redoubtable
enemies. We do not mean, however.
that the bee Is meteorologlst In tho
absolute sense of the word. Its clever
ness consists In never being taken un-
awares, for II possesses untiring vigil
lance. Often one may observe the sud
den entrance of bees into the hive
when dense cloud hides the sun and
even though the rain IS not in evidence.

ChanKed Times.

Times have changed indeed from thS
time when Sydney Smith complacently
observed that the United States had
80 much wilderness clearing to do that
It might well take Its literature, learn
ing and luxury In the bulk from Eng
lish factories.
"Why," he had asked, SHOULD the
Americans write books when six
weeks passage brings them, in their
own tongue, our sense, science and gen.
ius In bales and hogsheads? Prairies.
steamboats,, gristmills, are their nat
ural objects for centuries TO come"
We might almost reverse this and
ask, "Why should the English feel i'll
at ease when six days passage brings
them our sense, science and genius?"
For the time Mt least the Rev. sgd
ney Smiths chief notoriety seems to
be that he was the author Of certain
observations whose truthfulness has
proved as brief as 1t was bitter.-Har-
