consists in pouring some over quicksi-

having screw eye at each end. In
moment the liquid metal becomes fro

imbedded in it. If cord is attached
ito one end and to the other a weight Of
so pounds, the weight will be suspend
ed for ID or 20 minutes at the ordinary
temperature before the metal is thaWed
sufficiently to allow the screw eye to
be pulled out, and nearly as long a
time again elapses before the quicksil-
yer returns to it's ordinary liquid state.

.Lost-a Lake.

Inhabitants Of the Tyrol have lost q
lake.
The village Waterman is positive
that when he passed the banks Of the
lake the night before the remarkable
discovery it was in its usual condition,
The fact, however, remains that in the
morning nothing but the bed Of the
lake was left to show that it ever
existed lss;5 aas
n On the trees growing near the lake
some one had caused to be posted large
notices, headed Lost. Strayed or
Stolen" to the effect that a reward
would be paid for the return of the
missing waters and ''no questions,
asked" Another notice exhorted the
missing waters to return and all would
be forgiven.
There have been many similar mys-
ferrous disappearance IN different
parts Of the world. Quite recently a
lake over one square mile in area dis
appeared In Japan, and the place that
1T once occupied is now devoted to

THE HONEYBEE.
ITS Curious jaws and It's Wonderful
Little Tongue.

With the closest scrutiny II becomes
evident that the bee does not, like
other creatures, house It's tongue In its
mouth, but neatly folds 1t back beneath
It's head. BumblCbcCs, when disturb
ed, have way OF threatening with
their jaws, while the honcybce has
the more direct method of settling In
trudcrs with her sting.
The jaws of the bee are very credit
able organs and can give quite n for
mldablc nip. catch bee In a net and
see how viCiously II will bite at the
mcshcS working It's jaws sideways in
stead of mp and down.
We call this wonderful implement OF
the bee n tongue, but in reality It Is
moro than this. for the whole arrange
ment consists of two slender filamcnts
called maNlllW the under lip and the
actual tongue. Ii n drop OF honey lies

IL up with the same ease that n dog

flower bc elongated the bee has at
command another length OF tongue,
which Is shot out from within and

To appreciate fully this delicate
organ you shoull watch the bee scpa-
rate II into its component parts and
clean II out. The lengthcning process
of the probosciS, as the tongue and its
allied parts are sometimes called, Is
accomplished 10y series Of springs and
hinges. I'm addition TO this tclcscoping
power, the tongue Is a hairy member,

Old MIIItIn Elections and New.

From the American Revolution TO the
year 1898 the officers OF the militia OF
the state of New York had been ap-
pointed by the council Of appointment
upon the recommendation of command
ing officers of divisions, brlgades and
regiments, and the promotions were
generally made according to rank and
seniority. Under the new constitution
and the militia law OF 1923, and In ac-
cordance with the democratic spirit Of
the period, the election OF military ofli-
GERS became the established usage and
has continued until the present day.
