However this is, the poor, devoted
creature went on emptying into this
vessel load after load of honey, which,
as matter of course, escaped at the
bottom as fast as she emptied it at the
top. All Of one long, hot summer af-
ternoon did she labor at this bootless
task, and began again next morning.
At last when. regardless of the result,
she had performed her prescribed duty
in the prescribed manner, made the
customary amount of journeys and
supplied the usual amount of honey,
she conscientiously laid her egg and
closed up the empty cell.
1t is quite common to speak of the
intelligence of insects, but it really
seems. In the light of recent scientific
investigations, almost as correct to
speak of the intelligence Of a watch.
Insects doubtless accomplish wonder
ful results, but such results seem to
be effected (as are the equally Won
derful adaptations of means to an end
by the vital organs in our own bodles)
by automatic. unconscious, and unin-
telligent obedience to internal or ex-

He is a thirsty Individual; perhaps
his free lunch makes him more so; and

seven inches in diameter. In this i'm
prison a bee and two or three flies.
Place the bottom of the jar squarely
against a pane in the window drop
the curtains about the jar, and unstop
its mouth. The flies will invariably
make the most of the opportunity given
Them to escape; the bee, on the con-
trary, though popularly supposed to
oe the wisest of insects, will buzz in
anely about the closed end through
which the light comes, without seeking
to escape in any other direction. Light
and liberty with the bee are synonyms,
and she will perish rather than prove
false to her convictions. You can keep
her confined with the back door of her
prison house wide open as long as you
choose; she will never find her way
out.
Mr.. Fly, on the contrary, an idle fel-
tow, "a man about town." whose IT.
regular habits subject him to innum-
cradle perils, has developed a faculty
for getting out of scrapes which though
perhaps not equal to that he possesses
for getting into them, is superior to
