OF Sciences, is of interest. 1t has to
do with bees. NJ. BONNER placed "a
MS garden several Jumps of sugar.
The bees tried to bite off particles
with their mandibles but couldn't.
He then marked them and they flew
on to the hive. In about two hours
the first lot came back bringing some
companions with them. But before
tackling the sugar they flew to a
fountain In the garden and filed
their crops" with water. Upon
allghting upon the sugar the water
was pumped out, and soon trans
formed the former into syrup, when.
OF course. each bee filled his crop"
and started back for the hive. From
this two conclusions seem legitimate
first, that bees understand the
principles OF syrup making, and, Sec
ondly. that they can communicate to
their discoveries to one another.

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

The little customs that have come

important part.

''the friend of the bridegroom" as

performed other services for tho

old Jewish custom of handing to the
purchaser of land an Old shoe as e
token of surrender or remuneration
(see Ruth iv, ~. The brides faith

During the great rebellion, Sir John
Trevanion, a distinguished cavalier,
was made prisoner and locked up n
Colchester castle. Sir Charles Lu-

made examples of as a warning TO

startled by the entrance of the jailer,
who handed him a letter.

fellow. 1T has been weel looked

Don't Live in New Houses.

Why Is new house unhealthful?
That is question that has Deen ask
ed by many and been answered by
few. And yet the reason is obvious.
In the construction of Just one MT
dunn sized house II Is estimated
that over thirty thousand gallons OF
water is used.
This water does not evaporate as
quickly as 1t would in the air and
sunlight, but lies near the surface Of
the earth under the house and in the
walls of the cellar. Hence. the
house is damp. and damp houses fos-
ter illness. A house that has been
standing for year or SO. Is much
more healthful than a new one.

USEFUL INVENTIONS.
Some of the Clever Devices Which
Have Been Patented by Women.

In the first year of the United
States Patent Offices existence, 1890,
a woman took out patent. Up to
the present time about 3,95S patents
have been granted to women. Among
the early women inventors may be
mentioned Miss Mary Kies, who. in
1909 patented a device for weaving
straw and thread. Three years lat
er Miss Mary Brush designed a new
corset which she thought would pre-
serve the shape of the womanly fig
ure.
Like Miss Brush, many modern
women inventors confined their in
ventiveness to the contrivng OF
beautifying devices. Mrs. Batchele
