BRIGHT coLoRs ATTRACT BEES
Honey Gatherers Not Drawn by Nee
tar or Perfume.

The inquisitive modern investigator
has been prying into the secrets of the
little bee. His curiosity has been re.
warded by the discovery that it is the
bright color of the flower and not the
presence of the nectar that attracts
the honey-gatherer. In fact. it is quite
possible to coax the bee away from
dull-colored flowers of nature by arti-
fetal flowers of brilliant hues.
AS far as natures flowers are con.
cerned, those of the brighter hues al
ways receive more attention than
those Of subdued shades. Moreover.
the belief that the perfume of flowers
attracts bees has also been exploded.
1t is believed that the attraction exer-
cised by the form and color of flowers
is approximately four times as great
as that exercised by perfume, pollen
and nectar taken together.

How Cork Was Liberated.

The mystery surrounding the release
from Jail of Maxim Cork, who was ar
rested in ST. Petersburg as a reyolu-
ZIONIST, is cleared. The novelist owes
his liberty to Count White, president of
the council of ministers, who drew up
report in which the following
passage occurs: "A severe sentence of
long imprisonment might deprive the
world and Russia of creative genius
from whom great things may yet be
expected. The unprecedented sympa-
thy of which he is the object is "A proof
of the attention with which the intel
lectual world follows the development
of Russia. and of the regard which is
felt for the Russian writer outside of
his own country"
