dow. A bee visiting these discovered
the cherries and soon came back with
the whole swarm to enjoy them. When
they came back later and found the
cherries gone they went foraging and
presently discovered the preserves on
the breakfast table.
I'VE are lost" said the proprietor;
we Will have to give up eating here"
At first the bees buzzed over the
terrace all day from dawn to dusk
Then they began to disappear in the
middle Of the day. They made early
breakfast and afternoon tea impossi.
bic, but they were totally absent at
the dinner hour. About the middle of
July the family gave up using the
terrace for the bee infested meals. but
by way of experiment the able was set
one morning as usual. Promptly at
a. m. the bees began to arrive. and
at 10 O'Clock, when the table was
cleared as usual, they ceased coming.
Not a trace of a bee was seen again
until 4. The luncheon was eaten with
out the presence of single one.
But at they began to gather again.
They were plainly surprised at finding
no preserves-the table was not set
but in increasing numbers they kent
up the search until about 5 o'clock.
when they gradually took themselves
off. This kept on for several days aft
er the table ceased to be set. The bees
came looking for it between and 10
in the forenoon and and in the aft
ernoon. In fact, however they recog-
nized the time, they observed it with
clock-like regularity until in the
course of a week or two they ceased
their visits altogether, finding them
Improbable.

The latest observer of the bees
credits them with ability to judge the
time of day He is Auguste Force, a
Frenchman, and his studies were in
voluntary at the outset, He lives in
a villa not far from Paris, and in
summer it is the habit of his family to
take their meals outdoors on a ter
race.
At o'clock in the morning the ia
bic was habitually set for the light
French breakfast. A great dish of
preserved fruit was always a feature
of this meal At noon came the grand
deieuner,' or luncheon, when there
was no fruit. At 4 o'clock something
like the English tea was served and
then again preserves made their APP
pearance, remaining on the table for
half to three-quarters of an hour.
The bees had their colony about a
hundred yards from the terrace but
until last June they never gave the
slightest trouble. Then the cook put
a basin of cherries preserved in strip
to cool In window near the table
There were some flowers in the win.
