How Bees Find Their Wav,

How are bees able to find their way
home after their long forays after
honey? Castor BONNER of Paris has
been studying their directive sense,
which he thinks is like that possessed
by pigeons. Bees can fly for two miles
from the hive and are then able to re-
turn after gathering their supply OF
honey. Langstroth and others suppose
that vision comes into play and that
bees can see for great distance and
can also note objects on the way so as
to find their path. Others. with Da-
dant, suppose that the bees are guided
by the sense Of smell and that they
can smell flowers at distances of one
and half miles. NJ. BONNER has
made experiments to prove that bees
can return to the hive without using
either sight or odor. AS to sight, he
took bees to distance Of one and two
tenths miles from the hive in a closed
box. They always flew back to the
hive when released. The same is true
sight was not essential.
AS regards OdOr. experiments seem
to prove that bees perceive Odors at
only short distances. When needle
dipped in ether Is brought near the
head Of the bee. 1t shows signs Of per-
ceiving the odor. but not so when the
needle is placed back Of him or near
other organs. Besides. when the or
gans of smell (antennae) are removed
entirely the bees will return to the
hive NJ. BONNER made the following
experiment: At GOO feet from the hive
be placed supply Of sirup, and the
bees soon found 1t. proceeding to and
from the hive. Such bees he marked
with green colored powder. He then
placed second supply Of strip at the
same distance from the hive, but
spaced at twenty feet from the former.
Other bees were now engaged In the
to and fro movements to this point.
but these were not the same individ-
uals as the green marked ones, who
were still working on the first sup
ply, and he marked these in red. This
gave two distinct sets Of bees, able to
distinguish two directions which form
ed a very acute angle. These facts NJ.
BONNER believes indicate a special d.
receive sense which does not reside in
the antennae. but probably in the cere
5roid gangla.

but they let it run away with them.
That's what | want you to avoid, my
boy. and that's why I'm givin' you this
kind of talk now
"I ou've married the sweetest little
girl this side of the pearly gates, if
do say it myself, and if you want sue
cess to be worth anything when you

arm linked in yours, and don't go 50

You. You remember the Lord said.
1T amt good for man to be alone and
it's a good deal worse for woman to be
alone. When a man begins to leave
his wife To- fret out her evenin's by
herself he's layin the foundations for
trouble. That old sayin that absence
makes the heart grow fonder is all
poppycock. 1t don't do anything of
the sort and if you become so engross-

payin' toe much for it. And, William
my boy. when man gives up all or
nearly all that makes life worth livin'
in order to win financial success he's
sellin' short on happiness with Il
mighty slim chance to get hold of the
stock for delivery.
Yes, know what you'll say-you're
workin' to get start, to lay a founda-
ton Of little fortune, to provide the
right kind of home for your wife
and I'm pattin' you on the back all
the time and sayin' Bully boy" That's
the sort of stuff that makes men;
that's the power that makes the world
60 round. But man wants to be
mighty careful that he don't keep
on runnin' around the track after the
finish. and he wants to look out that
he don't lose diamonds while he's
scramblin' for pearls. My old father
was a country doctor. and he always
carried his quinine and calomel and
such like in a big pair of saddlebags.
l remember one time he had to get up
In the middle of the night and ride
tcll W Scc IL pdtiSht. IL was an
urgent case, and the old gentleman
went down the road like Satan beatin'
tanbark. his saddlebags bouncin' up
and down at every jump. When he
got to the place he found strap had
broke and every bit Of his medicine
had been scattered along the road.
"Many man goes lopin' along the
road to riches with his nose to the
ground like hound chasin' fox. He
don't see anything but the tracks Of
the fellows who've gone that way be-
fore him, and he's so doggone anxious
to catch up with them that he don't
know he's got holes in his pockets and

than the one he's runnin' after. He
don't know that he's dropped his wife's

Medder oats an lily pads.

All the logs are bleak an bare;

The outer edge Of the incisor teeth
Of rats Is covered with layer Of en-

side is much softer; consequently the
layers of enamel on the under side
wear away much faster than those on
the upper surface and keen cutting

Good prices are paid for old parch-

ers have process for removing the

comes back to US as the finest French

the gloves are made are not wasted.
Mixed with vellum and leather they
are boiled down for size. The coarse
shavings. with odds and ends Of seal
and other skins come in handy for
filing cheap tennis balls.

HIGH SCHOOL
PUPILS CANNED
When They Arrived at the Building
This Morning Were Told They
Could Not Take Their
Seats.

The ball has been started rolling
early in the season for the high school
students to leave the recitation or as
sembly rooms to wander out on the
street. Quick as possible-wander)
and find some place of amusement
instead of using little of their stick
to-itivness qualities and remaining
until S:45 when the time for dismis
sal rolls round.
Yesterday afternoon half dozen
high school pupils got the roller skat
ing fever bad They couldn't hear the
music of the organ at the rink but
they imagined they could and the
temptation was too strong so when the
opportunity presented itself, these
half dozen pupils made their exit and
hied themselves to the rink.
1t was not long until they were
missed. but in calling over the roll it
was noticed that there were a half
dozen absent ones who were not
absentees when the bell rang at 100
in the afternoon. Four young ladies'
and two young men were the missing
ones
This morning when the truants re-
turned to school they were told by the
principal that they were in the right
seats but in the wrong school, and
that they would have to leave. They
were called upon the carpet as Is the
usual run of things and told that they
would have to come to school with
their parents and straighten matters
out satisfactorily before they could
return to their classes at all.
So before the half dozen who would
rather spend an afternoon on wheels
than go to school can return to theil
alma mater, they must TESS the whole
affair to their papas and mammas
take their medicine and return t.
school.

River Of Matrimony Has supplanted

and Bride Started
MARRIED THIS MORNING
Happy Couple Were Joined in Wed
lock This Morning While Float
ing Down Des Moines

A telegram received by friends in
this city today had to say of the fol-
lowing we'll known young people who
did embark on the sea of matrimony
only the sea was the Des Moines
river.
"OTTUMWA, Ia, Sept. 9.-Dr. Ar
thur H. Bowles and Miss Mittie Means
Of Wayland were married in launch
while floating down the Des Moines
river at Ottumwa this morning, Rev.

made friends in Keokuk and the groom
is the son of Mrs. Margaret Bowles of
227 South Seventh street, this city.
The bride, nee Miss Means has visited
in Keokuk many times and has host
of young friends here WHO will be hap
PLY surprised today to learn of her
marriage to the doctor who is also
we'll and favorably known in Keokuk,
having been a student of the Keokuk
medical college. He is we'll known in
Keoluk having many friends here and
being born and raised in Keokuk. His
bride is the charming and attractive
daughter Of we'll known and respected
Wayland residents. Though their en-
gagement has been known for some
time, the novel way in which the
doctor and the young lady were launch
ed upon the sea of matrimony is a
surprising one although when one is
acquainted with the jovial good natur-
edness of both, the surprise is not so
great
DR.. Bowles has an extensive practice
in Wayland, having his dentistry Of
fices in that town and is young man
of ability. 1t is presumed that the doc.
tor and his bride will make their home
in that city after their journey down

Their many friends in this city ex
tend congratulations and wish them
as smooth sailing through life as they
found this morning on the bosom OF
the placid Des Moines when taking
their solemn vows.
