When foreign bodies are put into a
beehive the bees generally cover them
with propolis, or bee glue. BY way OF
experiment a rag doll and cloth rab-
bit were put into hive by a writer
for st Nicholas.
when l opened the hive. about three
weeks later, to find that they had used
very little propoiis on either, but had
nibbled almost all the clothes from the
doll and had even attacked the stock
ings. What they had failed To take
off and carry out hung in delicate fbres
ard shreds, apparently ready to be re-
moved. Did they except to dispose OF
the entire doll in that way?
THE rabbit was slightly soiled, but
not smeared or nibbled. The bees had,
however utilized it as a support for
comb. which they had attached in the
most astonishing manner-to one ear
and to the tip of one forefoot.
THE cloth of which the rabbit was
made was different from that of the
doll. Did the bees find it more difficult
or impossible to nibble this? Did they
know that it was unnecessary to seal
it in. as would have been necessary
with a small animal liable to decay;
and since they must endure the in
trudeI-'s presence, did they determine
TO make it useful as payment for the
valuable room that it occupied?

You will find no more contentment

You might better save your money

quest ever made in the interest OF
science has been completed by George
Compere, who has arrived in this

and trees infested with the scale were
taken hundreds of miles inland. where
they were exposed to the influence OF
the discriminating parasites.
The trees were carried into the in
terror and there left until the para
site finally made its home in the IN
tested trees.
MIR Compere brought into California
some time ago the parasite which live:
