standard the pistiI jumps out, and
leaves a little pollen on your finger.
We have found out that when the bee
goes down after the drop of nectar he
alignts on the standard and the pistil
comes out and leaves its pollen on his
back, and also takes pollen which he
has already from other flowers.
Tine bees always know what flower
they have visited, because it closes I'D
when they leave it"
Another told of the life of a pea in
this way:
when 1t grew cold and many a frost
had passed, my brothers and 1 were
dropped off the vine and buried in the
earth. We stayed there for a long
time, and one day we heard a crack
ling in the pod we were in. and a lit
tie worm came in and started to eat
my brothers. After several days had
passed and he had eaten all my broth
ers, ne was just going to eat me when
l heard dull thump, thumD, and 4
brown bird came down and pulled him
out. Then the warmth and moist
ground helped me to grow and soon /
was tall and big, and I found out that
there were many pretty blossoms"
The pupils like to tell rather than
to write the story of the clovers Their
drawings likewise far surpass in ex-
pressiVeness their written essays.
Writing is a late development, while
accurate observation and oral express
sion come early in life.

teresting. Observation of its workings
has proved a perennial source of de-
light to the school children, who dis
covered the curious arrangement when
studying the flower under the direc-
ton of the teacher. The luCern. IN
brief, has contrived to adjust its pis-
ills, stamens and keel into a little,
spring-like trap for catching the bee
upon his rounds from flower to flow
er. The bee gets sprinkled with the
pollen dust from each flower and the
pisti of that flower which does the
sprinkling is SO arranged as to catch
some of the pollen from other flowers
that may be adhering to the body of
the bee when the latter calls for his
toll OF honey-dew from the tube cf the
corolla.
How the Trap Works.
The trap works in this manner: The
flower is composed of the four parts
common to all the order. These parts
are accurately figured by my collabo-
ratOrs for this lesson, the sixth grade
students in the grade conducted Dy
Miss Bessie Kimbail of the state nor
NAL.
You will see the four flower parts in
the drawings where they are named
the wings, the standard, and the keel.
Every flower of this order contains
these parts. The drawings show the
whole flower OF the luCern, and also
the parts of the sweet pea separated.
The large petal, the standard, or ban
ner, hangs down in front of the flower
"a platform on which the bee may
alight. The wings are the petals on
each side, and Just back of the ban
ner. Still farther back is boat
shaped or hood-shaped part composed
of two petals united into a form re-

and other criminal transactions, all of
which will be presented to the grand

in every lawn solves the problem of the
protection of it's fortified seeds in a
clever but simple fashion that is full
of interest and instruction. This little
three-leaved, White-fowered species
was carefully studied by our sixth
graders. At my request they have told
the story with their drawing pens.
They have done 1t so well that we need
only consult the pictures they have
made for US. The drawings represent
four Of the fioweringheads as they ap-
peared on the lawns near the training
school buildings a few weeks ago. No.

it's lower ring of flowers fully blown,
the upper and center flowers not yet

flowers will be seen hanging down.
ward, and the upper row just opening.
No. 3 shows all the flowers down ex-
cept two; and No. shows that all
the flowers have dropped. What is the
cause of this difference?
In No. l the outer ring of flowers
have just opened and await the visit
of the bee. SO sooner does the bee
visit these flowers and collect their
honey then the transferred pollen be-
gins to do its work of fertilizing the
seeds. The pollen grain sends a tube
through the Distil into the Ovary,
and 1t enters the tiny ovule. AS each
Ovule is reached by the pollen tube, it
springs into a newness of life. 1t
grows, becomes heavy, and the swell
ing pod weighs down the blossom, I'M
I'll, day or two later, the whole ring
of flowers fortified by the bee is re-
flexed, as shown at No. 2. Next cay
the other flowers rifled by the visitor
-
ing only two SNOWY and pretty cOrol-
las, which now court the polite at
tentions of the busy insect whose ser
vices are so essential. When they
have all been visited they all turn
down, as at 4. After turning DOM
the flowers seem to be dead In real
ity, an activity the most intense, per-
haps, that the flower has vet manifest
ed, IS going on within. The seeds are
rapidly maturing. The dead look, due
to the dry and whitening corolla, is
but an appearance The plant is only
pretending to be dead, and is doing
so in order to deceive the crawling in
sects that would otherwise creep up
the stems and devOur the precious
seeds. The worms and ants have no
use for dead flowers, and so thew let
these alone. But there is another pur-
pose In order to save the bees tine
as we'll as it's own the cOTollas wither
and turn down, and neither the bee
nor the worm will visit dry or dead
looking flowers. The bee would li5d
no nectar there, since the clover, like
the luCern, stores just enough honey
to induce the bee to come once. So
when the plant IS through with the bee
and the bee with the plant. sucl a sign
as this will be OF great value 10 both.
The white or sweet clover adopts a
course precisely similar. First #
masses its blossoms in spikes to at
tract the bees. Then as fast a. the
pistils are fortified, they droop and
the cCrolla falls. Covered with tough
pods and high from the ground, they
are fairly we'll protected from the
plundering insects.
