Notwithstanding the provocation af-

President hesitates to interfere, be-
cause such action on his part would
be tantamount to setting up of sort

An Undesirable Doarder.

Some time ago the keeper Of a board
ing house retired from business after
having acquired 4 comfortable COM
potency in the course Of about 20 years.
During that period her house became
well known in the city and among the
women in her own business. She new
err realized how well known 1t was I'M
til she set out to find a place to live in
herself.
She applied first at the house kept by
q woman nearly Of we'll known as her
self only. to learn that there was no
Dol for her. 1t was not until she had
been through the same experience sew
eral times that she came to understand
that she was not wanted in the estab-

reputation for keeping a fine house was
too much for the other women, who
did not want to submit to the scrutiny
Of a former boarding house keeper who

She learned, after going to q hotel
where her record could not be used
against her. that she was not the only
woman who had found it difficult to

It's Curious Jaws and It's Wonderful
Little Tongue.

Will the closest scrutiny 1t becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures, house its tongue in it's
mouth, but neatly folds it back beneath
its head. Bumblebees, when disturb
ell, have a way Of threatening with
their jaws, while the %honeybee has
the more direct method Of settling in
truders with her sting. +..,
The jaws Of the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite a for
midable nip. Catch a bee In a net and
see how viciously 1t will bite at the
meshes, working its jaws sideways in
stead Of up and down.
We call this wonderful implement Of
the bee Il tongue, but in reality 1t Is
more than this, for the whole arrange
ment consists Of two slender filaments
called maXilln, the under lip and the
actual tongue. If Il drop of honey lies
near the surface Of a flower, the slen-
der, active tongue, darting out from
the cast formed by the maXilln, ticks
1t up with the same ease that a dog
licks a plate. Should the tube of the
flower be elongated the bee has at
command another length Of tongue,
which is shot out from within and
shuts up like a telescope when no
longer wanted.
To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you should watch the bee sepa-
rate 1t into its component parts and
11.,, - o,+ M, 11c,f,~ uooOc
of the proboscis, as the tongue and its
allied parts are sometimes called, Is
accomplished by a series Of springs and
hinges. In addition to this telescoping
power. the tongue is a hairy member,
the hairs arranged In rings, the longest
one toward the center. They assist in
lifting in the nectar and in pumping 1t
into the mouth. Thence it goes to the
honey sack.-AThautauluan.

How Shrapnel Operates.

Shrapnel Shell Is a beautiful and IN
genious missile. 1t consists Of a hol-
low, elongated shell. with a bursting
charge of powder at the base and filed
with from 200 to. GOO half inch bullets.
according to the size Of the gun. 1t is
fitted with a time fuse, which is "set"
to fire the bursting charge at a given
number of seconds after the shell has
left the gun. The bursting charge in
turn blows the head off the shell and
sends forward the 200 to 600 bullets,
which continue their course in a conical
shower on to the ground.
