BEES AND HONEY.
The Way They Gather Their Harvest
From the Flowers.

From the Flowers.
Bees gather honey from the nectar
vessels Of flowers and plants. The
sugar, starch, albumen, ETC., are ear
ried up by the sap to the seed bear
ing pods. To a marked extent nature
Is assisted by the natural law Of heat
and cold to produce a sweating or con-
densation Of moisture, which we call
dew. This takes place in the CO.
rolla Of the flower, making It moro
easy for the plant to deposit it's over
flow Of sugar, starch, albumen, etc.
in the dew already in the flower.
This sweet nectar is carried up by
the sap and discharged In the dew
through the pores Of the plant. When
the sun rises evaporation takes place.
and the result is a tiny drop Of nee
tar In the cup Of the flower. The bee
goes to the flower and with its long
silken tongue sips up this drop Of
nectar and deposits it into its honey
sack back Of the throat.
The bee is provided with a stomach
for its physical well being back Of
this storage stomach, and all the hon
ey that goes to this stomach is used
for the life or physical demands Of
the bee. When the bee has its stor-
age tank full Of nectar It straight
way flies to the hive and exudes It
into the cell. The bee Is endowed
with the power Of exuding as natural-
" as in taking, so there Is nothing
wonderful about 1t except the natural.
curiousness Of the matter.

The Insurance Orange.

Recently a life Insurance president
retired from the position he had filed
for years in an institution which was
never under. suspicion. The money
taken from the public in the form Of
premiums was returned in the form Of
indemnities, dividends and loans to be
used to create business and add to
wealth. The policy of the company
was to help the community which 1t
lived on, create prosperity and get a
fair share Of that prosperity.
On the very day that President II. L.
Palmer laid aside his task one Of the
Keepers of the famous yellow dog In
F~surance corruption fund died In obscu-
rity, forgotten but for his misdeeds-the
corrupt s Of nearly 100000 Of the
policy holders money. The crowd he
worked with got away with at least
100000 Of the cash intrusted to the
officials who employed them for dirty
work.. OF these ''higher up officials
one died under disgrace, two are in ex-
lie and one is a physical wreck, all az
the result of the exposure Of their
scandalous methods. They sucked the
orange to the limit, and It was sweet
while it lasted. But they themselves
slipped up on the peel. Under their
management life insurance got the rep
utatien Of a bunko game. Under the
other kind it is an economic blessing.

Pansma's sanitary Lesson.

II E.
That canal across the isthmuS may
aever float a ship from ocean to ocean.
but never mind. In attempting to put
through the great enterprise we may
think It worth while to juggle. with
some Of u sacred home traditions in
the matter Of the employment Of labor
and buying supplies, and again never
mind. Really the traditions were made
Tor home use when we never antici-
pated having to dig a big ditch across
a stretch Of tropical territory. Even
at this date, with the great enterprise
but barely begun, we hive achieved in
the sanitation Of the isthmus a feat
which the London Lancet. chief Brit
tsh authority OF medical and sanitary
work, declares is as great as the con-
struction of the canal itself.
All the world knows that In tao
king the canal Job we faced the gen
orally fatal effects Of tropical tenn
perature, with Its facilitating humidi-
ty. accentuated by noisome exhala-
tions poisonous to natives as well as
to people from the temperate It
seemed ridiculous to imagine that
American ingenuity and energy could
modify conditions that had turned
back the French, who had the teach
ing and experience of half a century
in Africa to guide them. And yet
within three years we have demon
strated the possibility of healthful life
for both native and foreigner in the
tropics. A great problem in human
possibilities and perhaps in human des-
tiny has been put to test. Cities Of
the isthmus which before were hot
beds Of disease have been transformed
through systems Of waterworks and
sewerage. widened and paved streets
and efficient sanitary regulations arbi-
trarily enforced. There need not be a
pestilential city on the face Of the
globe after this unless it's inhabitants
choose to maintain 1t so.
Already the success of our santa
tion in Panama has borne fruit
throughout the country, and its lesson
will not be lost on the whole world.
The English know from past expert
ence in India and other tropical lands
the tremendous difficulties we have en-
countered and overcome; hence It IS
a tribute for its chief medical organ
to say that our work in Panama has
actually changed the climate Of the
country SO that it is no longer danger
Gus for foreigners to live there nor for
natives to do a mans days work
there. On this point the Lancet says:
In the lap of the gods rests the future
of the Panama canal enterprise. Wheth-
er it prove the great engineering triumph
and commercial highway to which many
of us look forward time alone win show, /
the United States. Among much good
and evil 1t must be recorded that it was
under the American administration that |
the knowledge and the resources of mod |
ern science were applied to the hygienfc
redemption OF the once nolsone isthmus. |
fruits of labor in this direction have |
been gathered that they promise
to rival as a worthy onume of Amer
lean achievement even the canal itself.
This is high praise. but It is de
served, for the freeing Of n Of the
quarters of the Inhabited
world from the many malignant dis
eases which formerly spread terror
there is, as the Lancet elsewhere OBJ
serves, "almost q miracle"
