Curious WAYS Of Bees.

There are about 5000 species of wild
bees, all with interesting ways Of their
own. Among them is a species whose
females are veritable amazons, and
carry more and better weapons than
the males There are the cuckoo
bees, who deposit their eggs in the
nests of others, the progeny of both
living peaceably together until maturi'
ty, when the separate. Then there is
the tailoring bee, who cuts leaves with
her scissorslike paws, and fits snug
lining of the leaf material into her
cave-shaped nest. DR.. Henry c. Nc,

genealogical society, describes in Har-
per's a wild bee hunt, during which he

The Wreckers of scillY.

AS far back as the time of Henry
the First there were royal grants Of
1.-The islands and their wrecks" and
frequent was the phrase in centuries
following. With royal encourage
ment, why should they not be
wreckers!
One Sunday, long ago, in Scilly,
service was in progress when there
came the cry of Wreck" The men
started from their seats. In mo-
ment there would have been a STAN
pede. But they covered back as the
minister sternly Numbered warn
ing. He strobe to the door. Again
his voice arose. Lets all start
fair!" he shouted, throwing off i'm
peding cassock as he ran, while his
congregation labored at his heels.
Most curious of all wrecks was
that of bark, with a cargo of beads,
that went ashore two hundred years
ago. So generous has been the ocean
with this treasure, that throughout
these two centuries it has intermit-
tently been tossing beads ashore, yet
so frugally that the supply is not yet
exhausted, for in a few minutes
search l found that some had been
thrown there since the last search of
the islanders. Shackleton, in

To-day, the Acropolis is a picture Of
desolation, but the few columns that
remain bear witness to its departed
glory. Lord Elgin carried away at one
time $50 feet Of the sculptured frieze,
and scarcely any of its columns, CAPT
tails, cornice and pediment would have
remained but for the size and weight
of the masses of marble. The pillage
that for nearly twenty centuries has
been robbing Greece of her priceless
works of art can be understood when
it is stated that one Roman conqueror
celebrated his victory by exhibiting in
his triumphant procession $50 wagon
loads Of Greek pictures and statues,
and that these wagons were followed
by 5000 men, each bearing some tro-
ply taken from the cities of Greece.
And yet, in spite Of the grand lar
ceny which has been perpetrated
against this unfortunate land, the mu-
scum at Athens contains enough of
the beautiful in marble and bronze to
make any nation conspicuous in the
realm of art. Within two years some
notable additions have been made to
the collection; a lifesized bronze sta
tue has been unearthed and marble
figure half buried in the sands of the
sea, has been rescued. The latter is
perfect in the portions protected by
the sand, but was disintegrating where
it came into contact with the waves

SAFETY IN MINE EXPLOSIONS,

Few miners are killed outright in
such disasters. The mortality usual

food and water eventually becomes

they should be provided with pipe

Watch That speaks the Mime.

A Swiss matchmaker has invented
a watch which speaks the time from
a tiny photograph. A very small
hard rubber plate has the vibrations
of the human voice imprinted upon
1t, and is actuated by clockwork, so
that at given time the articulation
is made, indicating the hour. The
utterance is sufficiently strong to be
heard twenty feet away. 1t is pos
sible by means of device Of this
kind to combine sentiment with util-
ity, as the vibrations can be made by
by any clear voice, and mans watch
may tell him the time in the tones
OF wife or children.

No thoughtful person who has
ever visited a maple-grove in the
early spring, while snow-banks are
yet lingering in sheltered hollows,
and has seen pailful after pailful of
sweet sap drawn from the aug0r-
holes in the shapely trunks, can have
failed to wonder what forces govern
the flow of the sap. When the warm
sun touches the treetops the flow In
creases, A rise Of few degrees
in temperature often causes a great
increase of flow, If the rise passes the
zero point, on the Centigrade scale,
that is, the freezing-point of water.
But a considerable change of tenn
perature in which the fluctuations
do not cross the zero line causes no
marked change in the flow of the
sap. DR.. X. M. Wiegand, discussing
these and other related facts in the
American Naturalist, reaches the con-
clusion that neither expansion of
gas in the wood, nor expansion of
water, nor expansion of the wood
itself, is the underlying cause of the
pressure which produces the flow,
but that this pressure arises from
the effects of temperature in altering
the osmotic permeabllity of the pith-
ray cells.

An Australian town near Mel
bourne had a strange visitation. An
army of frogs probably from near
by morass, swarmed into the town.
They covered the roads, and got into
the houses, whence the householders
had to sweep them or shovel them.
The episode caused somewhat of a
scare in the minds of the supersti-
tious, and some of the old folk de-
clared the end of the world was at
