HIVE IN AN AQUARIUM.
Good Way Of Seeing Row the Little
Busy Bee Works.

Good Way Of Seeing How the Little
Busy Bee Works.
Everybody is curious to see bees ac-
tually at work. Take q rectangular
glass aquarium and place it on win
dow sill, elevated slightly at the side
nearest the window, so that when the
latter is raised an inch the bees may
pass in and out If desired, the bees
may be kept for some time in confne-
ment by raising the aquarium an inch
on blocks and using a strip Of wire
screen cloth to prevent the bees from
escaping.
When confined the bees should be fed
sirup Of equal parts of sugar and
water. A frame or two Of bees may
be purchased Tor trifing sum.
Put within this glass aquarium some
rustic supports to represent projecting,
undecayed portions Of the inside of the
hollow trunk. Keep all covered by an
Opaque cloth when not observing what
is going on within this glass bee home.
Then the bees will be free to work
and to adapt themselves to the envi-
ronment. They can SUIT their own
fancy about attaching combs to the
sticks; they may build diagonally or in
any other form that they may prefer,
and they may attach the comb to sides
or ends Just when and where they
think it is necessary.
In the artificial hives the combs are
attached only at the edges, but in nat
ural conditions within the bee tree or
in its counterpart, as represented by
the old fashioned box hive with opaque
sides and in our transparent inverted
aquarium, the bees can build combs
and attach them in any way that they
see 6t
One of the most interesting objects
for study is to note when the bees
think it necessary to put out a side
support from long comb. They seem
to believe that they are really within
hollow tree and that it is likely to be
swayed by the gales. OF course when
so swayed long combs laden with
honey or with young bees would be
too much for the unyielding rigidity Of
the upper part Of the combs. These, if
they have no side stays, would bend,
crack and be crashed against each
other.
The bees have learned this and give
the combs hle support whenever it
is necessary. They do this, it is true to
a certain extent, in the regular eight
or ten frame hive, but not with the
naturalness with which they do it in
large, unobstructed space.
Not long ago a veteran beekeeper
took a colony Of bees from an attic,
where they had been for many years.
.Well," said he, you should have
seen the funny forms Of those combs
most interesting thing I ever saw.
There was one pillar almost round-a
solid center right and several feet long
and these combs around that; the
most fantastic shape you ever saw

SPEED SWIMMING.
The Difficult Side Stroke and Eow 1t
Is Accomplished.

The Difficult Side Stroke and Eow 1t
Is Accomplished.
Whether man be q swimmer or not,
in taking up new stroke be should
begin with the leg movement only. In
the side stroke it Is called the scissors
kick. To acquire it find a place with
water at least three feet in depth, where
you can use either stationary or
floating support Take hold Of this
support and let your body rest on the
water. on its side, with legs straight
and we'll together and feet as If stand
ing on tiptoe Choose the side that
feels most comfortable. Now proceed
to open the legs very slowly, not frog
fashion, but front and back, ss in walk
ing. The upper should be brought for
ward almost straight, the under, oack,
bert to q kneeling position. When they
are about two feet apart snap sharply
together.
The position Of the body is un-
changed. Lie on your side, with body
and legs in straight line; both arms
perpendicularly over your head, and
the palms turned slightly away from
the face. Bring upper arm down
smartly, keeping it rigid at elbow and
wrist, palm Of hand open, fingers well
together. Garry it through the water
lust below the surface, describing
semicircle to end at the thigh, then
bend arm at the elbow and bring 1t
forward we'll above water, until 1t is
straight before you in the original posi-
ton. The under arm should be started
when the upper one is just ABOUT
through with it's stroke, and should
be brought down with force, almost
parallel to it, so that at the finish 1t
brushes the lower thigh; then it is bent
at the elbow like the other and brought
forward just below the surface. Ihe
upper arm should rest on the water,
at full reach, while the under one 7e-
covers, until it is at the height OF the
head.
The action Of the arms in the SIDE
stroke entails a rolling motion OF the
body which buries the face at every
stroke. This necessitates an artificial
way of breathing, which has to be
learned before the stroke can be sWum
properly. It is advisable to make q
special study Of it. Air should be IN
hailed through the mouth as the up
per arm is being brought down and
should be exhaled through the nostrils,
under water, while the under arm goes
forward. Some find this impossible
even after long practice, and breathe
in and out through the mouth during
the short period that the face is above
water, but if one can acquire the other
vay it is far the best.
The legs should be opened very
slowly just as the under arm starts
it's recovery; they should be snapped
together when the upper arm is in the
middle CT its stroke. If properly timed
the side stroke gives clean, even prog

nha rnf1erieE Gardens.

Early in the reign Of Louis XVI. ne
antbor Of a book entitled "Le Parterre
Geographique ct Historique" suggest
ed that these gardens should be laid
out to represent the provinces OF
France. On Sept. 4, 1893, a deputation
came to the national convention, and
the spokesman, Anaxagoras Chau-
mette, said that "the eyes OF repuo-
licans would rest with more pleasure
on that former domain OF the crown
when it produced objects Of prime ne
cessity. Would it not be better to
grow plants which were needed for
the hospitals tLln to leave there stat

Force Of Habit.

An honest hog buyer started up IN
business and guaranteed the farmers
a fair deal. He always weighed the
porkers twice to guard against mis-
takes. Once In weighing bunch OF
pigs the second time he found tnelr
weight had increased to the amount OF
200 pounds. He was at loss to ac'
count for the condition until an en-
ployee confessed that at the time Of the
first weighing be had inserted the toe
Of his boot under the scales and pried
it up, thus cheating the farmer out OF
one hog. The buyer was indignant.
What did you do a trick like that
for?' he asked. "You couldn't have
profted by it anyhow"
"I know it, John," said the guilty
man, ..but just couldn't help IT,
It had always been the custom tc
cheat the farmer and the man couldn't
bear to see the old customs passing
away.

THE PICTORIAL FINS.

withovt Ehem the Fish Would
Stand on It's Head.
The pectoral fms of fish are the two
fms. one on each side, just back Of the
head. These fms aid the fish to some
extent In swimming. They are small
oars which the fish feathers very beau
tifully and are of value chiefly to pre-
serve its equilibrium. 1t is with these
fms that the fish maintains its horizon
tai position in the water when not
swimming. Without them the hsh
would stand on it's head. Sometimes
fish loses one or both Of its pectoral
fms by disease or by accident a hsh
without pectoral fms is in bad way.
While most fishes keep horizontal
position in the water when not swim
ming, there are fishes that do not. One
Of these fishes is the flefsh, which
when motionless suspends itself in the
water, head downward, at an angle Of
fory-fve degrees or even nearer the
perpendicular. A flefsh kept in an
aquarium which had lost both its pee
toral fms inclined over backward past
the perpendicular when motionless to
about the same angle that 1t would
have kept In the other direction If its
pectoral fins had been intact, so that
when rot In motion 1t seemed to be ly-
ing at an angle on It's back.
In the same aquarium there was a
striped bass weighing about a pound
and half, one Of whose pectoral fms
was attacked at the tip by fungus,
which gradually encroached upon 1t.
Finally the diseased portions Of the I'm
were cut off with a pair Of sharp shears,
the cut being made within the sound
part Of the fin. At first the dsh was
like a man in a boat pulling one long
oar and one short one-it couldn't hold
course. But it soon accustomed it.
self to it's new condition, and there
after it got along very comfortably.

most bird lovers think, but to the great
admiration Of the Belgians. The Scotch
fancy canarles develop graceful
curve between the tip Of the tail and
the top Of the head that has almost
the exact sweep Of the crescent. Ihere
are other fancy varieties OF canarIes,
none Of which are bred in great num-
bers or valued much except by few
specialists, but all of which are held
at higher figures by those who Like
them than the singing birds generally
are by anybody.
Nobody else loves the canary as the
German does; nobody else rears or
teaches the bird so skillfully and low
incly as he, and very large pf0por-
ton of the canaries imported to this
country are bought by German-Ameri-
cans.
Both here and in the old world the
Germans form bird clubs and carry
them on with great enthusiasm, study
ing the peculiarities of their favorites
assiduously, listening critically to their
songs and discussing them with all the
seriousness that is given to criticism
of the opera.
Such clubs are to be found in all
cities with large German population
in Chicago, st. Louis and New York
for instance, and in many Of the small
er Pennsylvania towns. The Green
wich street dealer says the Keystone
State is fairly speckled with them, the
number Of bird clubs within its bound
aries being greater than in any other
state. Contests between canary birds
-cc at least the holding Of comparative
exhibitions Of their power as singers
are not at all uncommon wherever
there are German canary enthusiasts,
and it is from the members Of such
clubs that the importers and the breed
ers get fancy prices for fancy birds.
Americans sometimes work up a de-
gree Of enthusiasm for canaries, but
their devotion to the melodious birds
never compares with that shown BY
the Germans, either in degree, persist
ence, or, if the truth must be told, in
intelligence The Americans interest
in the canary, to put the case fatty, is
always faddish and feeting, while the
Germans IS serious, lasting, and, with
regard to the birds song, Of the nature
Of true music worship.-Sew York

FEEDING METHODS.
Large Amount of "Cake" Used by
English Cattlemen.

The amount of cake" that Is fed to
cattle in England is astonishing. By
this term is meant what we know as
.'cottonseed meal" and ''linseed oil
meal" They are usually combined with
other feeds, but may be fed alone, espe-
cially during summer. Either or both
are used. This term is strictly applica-
BILE only to the product in the form In
which it comes from the presses. When
sold on our markets the cake has usual
ly been ground into meal, but for con-
venience in exporting this Is not usual
ly done until the cake reaches its desti-
nation, and in many cases 1t Is merely
broken into small pieces and not
ground. This makes it moro conven-
lent TO feed, especially when 1t Is
thrown on the grass.
British farmers use large quantities
of undecorticated cotton cake, especial
Iy In summer feeding This Is the cake
obtained in the process Of oil milling,
where the hulls are not removed from
the seeds. The hulls have stringent
property which is found valuable In
counteracting the laxative effect or
grass.
Undecorticated cottonseed meal Is
practically unavailable for American
feeders. The only seed which can be
economically milled without first hav-
Ing the hulls removed is that to which
no lint adheres In ginning. There Is no
Egyptian seed milled in America, and
sea island Is n very small factor. As
far as known to the writer all Ameri-
can mills remove the hulls as the first
step in the milling process.-W. J. Ken
