Bees as Acrobats.

When wax is needed a certain number
of self-elected citizens gorge with honey
and hang up in chains or curtains, each
bee clinging by her front feet to the
hind feet of the one above her, like
japanese acrobats, and there they re-
main. sometimes for two days, until the
wax scales appear pushed out from
every pocket. 1t is not hard TO under
stand that, since much honey is needed
for the manufacture of wax, bee after
filling with the raw material would pro-
duce much more wax by keeping quiet
than by using any of the gorged honey
for energy in moving about and work
ing But the necessity of holding
hands while this work goes on must
ever remain to us another occult evi-
dence Of the close relations in the bee

ORIGINATED BY DICKENS.
"Do Others or They Will Do YOU
Not a Modern Americanism
as Supposed.

When new catch phrase or senti-
ment finds utterance these days and Is
Immediately taken up by every mouth
and periodicals in the land, we
are prone TO boast of the civil
ization that has discovered some
thing new and pat" However, II
would be safer before our boasts are
made to glance through Chaucer
Shakespeare or Dickens to learn If the
Sery same thing has not been said be-
fore.
II may come as n shock to many to
know that the seemingly modern
Americanism, "Do others or they'll dc
you" is not an Americanism at all
and moreover that it was remarked in
a little dinner conversation between
Jonas Chuzzlewit and his father many
years ago in the eleventh chapter of
Martin Chuzzlewit,'
There's another thing that is not
easily overdone, father" remarked
Jonas after a short silence.

grinning already in anticipation.
"A bargain" said the son. Here's
the rule for bargains-'Do other men,
for they would do you That's the
true business precept. All others are
Counterfelts'
The delighted father applauded this
sentiment to the echo and was 50
tickled by it that he was at the pains
of imparting the same to his ancient
clerk, who rubbed his hands, nodded
his palsied head, winled his watery
eyes, and cried in his whistling tones,
"GooG, good. Your own son, Mr. Chuz-
zlewit" with every feeble demonstra-
tion or delight that he was capable OF
making.

THE BALANCED RATION.
Food for the Animals Must Contain
Protein Sufficient to Meet
the Expenses.

At convention Of dairymen, In d
discussion of the balanced ration, a
speaker said:
All animals require in the food
enough substance to meet the expenses
of the body in carrying on its physlo-
logical functions. Every movement
of muscle, the beating OF the heart
breathing, etc, requires the expendi-
ture Of energy that comes largely from
certain compounds in the food, which
compounds we call protein. We know
then that If an animal is TO live and
work, the food must contain protein
sufficient to meet their constant ex-
penses The harder an animal works
the greater these expenses, hence the
more protein must the food contain.
Again, we give carbohydrates and
fats to accomplish another purpose.
The temperature Of COW is constant.
practically at 9S degrees i. 1t is con-
stant In man at the same mark. How
essential It is that this constant tenn
porature is maintained is very appar-
ent IN the human system when we rea-
lie that one-half degree below normal
gives us a chill, while one half to one
degree above normal gives us fever,
either condition incapacltating the
man for work. If we should attempt
to keep the temperature of box the
size Of a COW at 90 degrees +. by the
aid Of an oil lamp we would soon be
made aware Of the immense amount OF
heat thus required The animal herself
is constantly keeping zip this enormous
expenditure of heat, but she has only
one source upon which TO draw and
that Is manifestly the food consumed
The peculiar functions of the carbony-
dratc5 and fats Is to keep up the body
supply of heat, in fact they are more
efficient as heat producers than are the
other compounds Of the food. Tho sci
ence Of n balanced ration then consists
in supplying enough protein TO take
care of the daily waste Of protoplasm
to the animals body and in supplying
a sufficient amount Of carbohydrates
and fats TO maintain the temperature
of the animals body.

System, and is operated by stationary stor-

the first 81 miles, the signals will be put
two-thrds of mile apart; for the rest
OF the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. 1t will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood junction, Suifern, Oxford and

two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
