Artificial Stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out of
their occupation by the use Of artificial
stone. In the manufacture of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount of Il per cent of the
mixture. The steel molds are filled
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder. which is closed
and holted. Boiling water is then
turned in under pressure sufficient TO
force it all through the sand in the
molds. The cement Stacks. but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur. and the stone is formed
and dried under an immense pressure.
The result is Il very hard stone which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

THE hONEYBEE.
It's Curious in ws and Its Wonderful

Little Tongue.
With the closest scrutiny it becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures, house its tongue in its
mouth, but neatly folds it back beneath
its head. Bumblebecs. when disturb

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
Nble organs and can give quite for

meshes, working its jaws sideways in
stead of up and down.

the bee a tongue, but in reality it is
more than this. for the whole arrange
