The Way Long TOngued Bees Saved

A clerk in the department of agrieul-
ture said:
so you think that scientific farming
is a bluff? You demand some illustra-
tions Of the good that is accomplished
by the scientific method? Very well.
when clover was first introduced
into Australia it grew there beautiful
ly, but 1t never seeded. The soil was
all right. The climate was all right.
What, then, WAS the trouble?
"a scientist studied the matter. aud
this Is what he found.
He found that the native Australian
bees had tongues too short 10 reach
the cloyer's pollen forming organs.
These organs In red clover are hidden
deeply in the heart OF the tubelike
petals and they can only be fortified
by the long tongued bumblebee. II
red clover Is not visited by humble
bees, who bear the golden pollen

never seeds-it cannot be grown. The
scientist, aware of the fact. soon put
his finger on the barren Australian clio

long tongued bumblebees. These bees
flourished, and Immediately Australian
clover, which had promised to be a
failure, became one Of the country
richest and finest crops" = Chicago

was an American who had been living
abroad with her husband for many
years Upon his death she returned,
bringing with her a large collection Of
valuable paintings whieh had been his
property and which she hoped To sell.
She made arrangements with the auc-

was delighted with the cleveruess with
which she had obtained vouchers for
each one 1t showed enterprise and
thoroughnesS seldom found in men or
women and made 1t certain that the
pictures, which were really good ones,
would bring good prices.
To every one living who had been in
any way connected with the pictures,
owned them or handled them the wom-
an had gone for written guarantee,
and, in addition to the names obtained
in this way, she had been To the Amer
lean consul, and he in his turn had
guaranteed their signatures. They
were all sworn 10 and duly witnessed.

woman
That was all right until Uncle Sam

How much greater than thgeefourths

At first sight 1t seems an easy ques-

1t Will divide them into two parties,
one contending that the answer Is one
fourth and the other as positively ar
firmlng that II is one-third while both
will be ready to prove the accuracy OF
their respective solutions.
The party Of the first part ito use a
legal phrase) may argue their point In
this way:
Five shillings is the fourth part Of a
pound If you have Is shillings, or
three-fourths of pound, and some
body gives you another fourth part you
have a soyerelgn-erg your four
fourths is one-fourth greater than
three-fourths.
But this will not suit the other party
at all, and they will proceed scornfully
to point out that the argument Is all
wrong, since If you have 10 shillings
and somebody is generous enough to
add . shillings to 1t the donor Is on
ly giving you one-thlrd Of the amount
you already possess Is times 3 equals

one-third more than your 10 shlllings.

ORIGIN OF PIXIES PEAK.
Indian Legend of the Formation OF
This Famous Mountain.

This Famous Mountain.
The quaint Indian legend of the for
nation of Pixies peak is as follows:
AT the beginning of all things the
lesser spirits possessed the earth and
dwelt near the banks OF the great
river. They had created a race of men
to be their servants, but these men
were far superior to the present in
habitants Of the earth and made end
less trouble for their creators. There
fore the lesser spirits resolved to de
stroy mankind and the earth itself, SO
they caused the great river to rise un-
til it burst its banks and overwhelmed
everything. They themselves took each
a large portion Of the best of the earth
that they might create new world
and a quantity of maize, which had
been their particular food, and return
ed TO heaven Arriving at the gate of
heaven, which is at the end of the
plains, where the sky and mountains
meet, they were told that they could
not bring such burdens of earth into
heaven Accordingly they dropped
them all then and there. These falling
masses made a great heap on the top
of the world which extended far
above the waters, and this is the origin
of Pixies peak, which IS thus shown to
be directly under the gate of heaven
lit was formerly twice as high as now,
but lost its summit. as is told in an
other legend)
..The rock masses upon it and all
about show that they have been
dropped from the sky. The variety
and extent of the mineral wealth in
the region prove that the earth's choic-
est materials are deposited there. And
still as the consultations move across
the heavens and vanish above the
mountain SUBMITS we may see the
spirits rise from the great river and
pass to the gate OF heaven The fall
ing stars are their falling burdens or
the dropping grains Of maize"

African Grosb.ckx

The social grosbecks OF South Africa
live In large societies. They select a
tree Of considerable size and literally
cover it with grass roof, under which
their common dwelling is constructed
The roof serves the double purpose Of
keeping off the heat and the rain, and
400 or 500 pairs Of birds are known to
have the same shelter. The nests in
this aerial dwelling are built In regu-
