Here is a charming little experiment
with which you can entertain party
OF friends for good half hour and
which you win ind fun Of interest for
yourself
All you need r. spool. a pencil, a
knitting needle, some thread, a cork.
and a tumbler OF water-fhings which
any OF our readers can easily ind
about the house, with the possible ex-
ception OF the knitting needle, which
you can replace by hatpin, II you
wish, and II your big sister is not wear
ing hers.
FIJI the tumbler with water nearly
70 the brim. Stick the pencil. point
first into the spool and stand the
spool by the glass Trim the top Of
the pencil with your jack knife. so that
it's top is half inch higher than the
rim Of the fuhbler
Get a card or a bit OF pasteboard,
and from it cut triangular piece with
sides each two inches long In each
corner make a pin hole. and pass the
end Of piece Of thread through each
hole. Now knot the other ends OF the
thread together
Stick one end Of your hafpin into

finding OF gold mine OF honey IN tbs
rocks banks near sapulpa.
NJ. l.. Kelley and John Clancy, two
prominent oil men OF sapulpa. are the
parties Implicated IN the story. Mr..
Kelley and Mr.. CLANCY started out
Monday morning from sapulpa 10 drive
10 a well they are drilling on the 5oggy
land, seven miles west Of sapulpa.
The men were about half way 70 the
well when suddenly they were attacked
by a large drove OF bees The bees
swarmed about the buggy and stung
the men and horses until they were
compelled to seek refuge They
whipped up their team and drove to
the cabin OF an Indian named wsta-
hee. Here they told OF their adventure
and had the pain aIIeyiated by the In
dian, who put some kind OF prepars-
ton on their wounds
In conversation with the Indian con-
ceraing the occurrence they were told
CT the many bees in the bills and
caves about three miles west Of sapul-
pa. They did not believe his story az
first He said that the Indians around
his cabin were getting gallons Of honey
in the caves every day. This set the
oil men TO thinking. That afternoon
they went to the place be told them Of.
On their way they met an old Indian
woman who was carrying two pals Of
sparkling strained honey. This en-
couraged them
They came upon a big post oak In
the field This had been hacked IN
several places and The honey was drip
ping from the cut in the tree into reg
ular pools on the ground They did
not stop at the tree, but went on 20
the caves AS they neared the rock
cliffs they could hear a droning like
that OF signing pine trees. so many I'm
number were the bees As they came
closer they could see a kind of black
cloud lowering before the rocks There
must have been fifty big swarms OF
bees around the rocks.
When they were close up 10 the
cliffs they noticed huge cracks I'm the
rocks. and large holes In these the
honey was dripping almost in small
streams There were some twenty
buckets and pals setting in the rocks
catching the honey. The Indians are
said 10 break the combs OF honey with
sticks. and let the honey run out into
pals A pail win nil in two days
time. II Is said that the finding OF
this great bee industry by the oil men
account for the great amount Of
strained honey the Indians have been
marketing II was thought before that
the Indians raised the bees.
The oil men say that the sandstones
In the cliffs are just saturated with
honey and little piece OF stone in
bucket Of water win sweefen IT, The
discoveries are at loss to know how
the bees came 70 be there II is said
by Indians and other old timers In
this section that about ten years ago
an old Indian who had few bees was
killed. 1t is thought by them that his
bees went wild and multiplied and In
creased In number until at present
there are millions OF honeymakers.-

Of the pencil, with the bottom Of the
cork resting on the surface OF the
water In the glass You would better
have a tiny groove IN the top OF the
pencil.
On the other end OF the knitting
needle suspend the triangular BIT OF
pasteboard. as the picture shows. Now
you are ready for your experiment.
Ask each Of your friends to guess
how many matches can be laid on the
pasteboard without oTerbalancing the
needle and drawing the cork from the
water. They viii guess absurdIy low
numbers-two. three, four. etc. for
the weight OF the card alone viii make
the cork bob up and down and look as
II It might be lifted from the water at
any moment
Now pile match after match on the
cardboard. and you wiz ind that a
good sized pile viii be required before
the cork can be lifted from the water !;
pile weighing much more than the
cork
This is due 10 a quality OF the water
called surface tension" which holds
on to things with a very real force.
and by weighing first the cork and
then the matches on small scale you
can ind out just what is the surface
tension OF the water in the glass: 1t
will be just the difference in weight be
tween the cork and the matches.

1t is a good idea TO teach the small
boy that he should not talk while his
father is reading. but here is a case
N which the prohibition was carried
% a disastrous extent. Harry had
been lectured so many times about his
inopportune talking that he usually
asked permission to speak He saw,
one evening. that his father was bur
led in the newspaper" so he asked his
mother II he might not say something.
His mother told him that his father
must not be disturbed Harry mildly
insisted. however. asking leave to say

permission. Finally. the father laid
