Dr. Moss of the English polar expe-

odd things, tells Of the effect Of cold
on wax candle which he burned
The temperature was 80 degrees below
zero, and the doctor must have been
considerably discouraged when, upon
looking at his candle, he discovered
that the flame had all II could do TO
keep warm. II was so cold that the
flame could not melt all the wax of the
candle. but was forced TO eat its way
down the candle, leaving a sort OF
skeleton of the candle standing. There
was heat enough, however To melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls OF
wax. aud the result was beautiful

Queer Notions About Bees.

led to foolish custom which pre-

When the keeper dies some one

each entrance the solemn fact, in
order to keep the bees from leay-
ing it; in some instances the hives
are even draped in black.
A certain beekeeper died in
Austria, and, as the coffin that
contained his remains was carried
from the house to the hearse, his
bees in large numbers clustered on
it. Every one present was deeply
touched by this mark of their grief,
little realizing that il was the
fresh varnish on the coffin that had

Early Advocate of Forestry.

The Lumber World has called
attention to the fact that Rufus
King, a United States Senator
from New York was the original
advocate of improved forestry
methods in this country. Away
back in 1913 the Honorable Rufus
was impressed with the idea that
the timber Of the country is be-
coming scarce and more and more
an object of public concern. In
an address in the Senate April ; of
that year on navigation act, then
pending, he voiced his fears regard
ing forestry denudation, and in
that connection said this among
other things; THE forests upon
the frontier of the ocean and on the
great rivers leading to it are near
~ destroyed. In other countries,
and even in Russia the IMPROVE
dent waste of their timber, especi-
ally in the neighborEood of their
great iron works, has become a
subject of national solicitude.

they are at the present day; and
little more care and economy in
the use of our timber, even now,

on posterity. The probability,
however, is, as respects to our val
