A Picture Idol.

A few years ago my uncle started
to New Mexico, hoping to find good
model among the Indians for pic
ture he was painting. When he left
the train he engaged a horse and
guide to take him to the nearest en-
campment. There was third morse,
on which the food, clothing and ar
lists kit were packed. After travel
ing day or so they reached camp
of Sioux Indians, who received them
in a friendly manner. Many OF the
braves were willing to have their pic
lures drawn for few beads and bits
of bright cloth. When my uncle
back was turned the squaws amused
themselves in looking over his port
folio. In few days he left for an
other camp.
About a week later my uncle
opened his portfolio, and noticed
that large painting of a girl was
missing. AS he priced it very much,
he sent the guide back to the Sioux
camp for it.
The guide returned empty handed
and said that the Indians had be-
come very angry when he asked for
the picture. 1t seems that they had
put It in a wigwam, with all their
idols, and worshipped it. Though my
uncle wanted the picture very much,
he thought It best not to anger the
Indians by taking it.-Woodward 30

, How Bees Divide Labor.

My experiments have revealed the
fact that the division Of labor among
bees is carried to a surprising extent,
says Professor CASTOR BONNER.
Bees which are seeking for pollen
or nectar do not carry 1t, but mere
ly carry the news to the hive.
A number of bees are sent out 10
strip the flowers, a number carrying
pollen only, others nectar only, oth'
ers again water only when water is
needed The number sent out Is
proportional to the number OF How
ers to be stripped, and by marMng
the bees with colored tale 1t was
proved that each bee confined itselt
for the time being to one class OF
work.
The same bee might be seeking for
flowers in the morning and collecting
in the afternoon, but did not change
the nature of its work without re-
turning to the hive.
There seemed to be something in
the nature of a working arrangement
between bees of different hives, as
when the work of clearing a certain
area of flowers had once been COM
menced by a few bees. from one hlNe
