A IA. rhst Dies.

DR.. John B. Smith gives the name Of
digger bee'' to blue green bee hav-
ing q metallic sheen. which may be
seen fitting about sandy places during
the first heats of May. With the aid OF
LIQUID plaster of paris poured into the
holes that 1t makes In the ground he
has followed the bee through won
derful course of digging. The work is
done by females, and its primary OBJ
ject is to provide protected cells In
which the young are bred. The bee
makes a tunnel quarter Of an inch In
diameter, which after starting for
few inches on a slope runs straight
down into the ground. At the depth of
a foot or more short lateral tunnels are
driven, and at the ends OF these are
formed the breeding cells. Having pro-
vided for her young. the bee 'contin-
ues to dig down and yet farther dowr
until she is four feet or even more be-
meath the surface, dying from sheer
exhaustion about the time her first
progeny begin to make their way to
the surface."-London Mail.

A Lake Of Ink.

In Mexico there exists a most re-
markable natural phenomenon.
Amid a volcano studded district lies
the flake OF ink" covering about an
acre of ground.
The body of water or ink, or what
ever it is, is so covered with the ashes
from the adjacent volcanoes as to ap-
pear part of the surrounding ground,
which Is all of the same dull gray tint.
The ashes are only a thin veil for a
thick, liquorice-like fluid of the con-
sistency of thin molasses, only black
as shoeblacking
At first the party of pioneers who
discovered the lake inclined to the
theory that it was but mire hole, but
the condition of the clothes of one Of
their party who fell into it quickly
disproved this, for the dirt left an in
delible stain. 1t was called ink forth
with, and as it blended readily with
alcohol one of the draughtsmen Of the
party took the occasion of supplying
himself with a good, cheap quality Of
drawing ink
Where this liquid comes from, what
its chemical properties may be and
how extensive the supply is are mat
ters OF conjecture.

FLAG Proportions.

In the United States flag the width
of stripe is invariably half the length
In inches of the flags longest measure
ment. For example. In flag ten feet
long the stripes should be five inches
wide. Accordingly the Gag would have
a width Of five feet five inches. or thir-
teen times five inches. The field
should be of navy blue bunting meas
uring seven stripes deep and extending
two-fifths across the length Of the flag.
There should be forty-six stars on the
field. arranged In six rows. beginning
with eight, the two middle rows hav-
ing eight and the last row eight and
the other rows seven. The size Of the
star at its widest measurement should
be such that one-half Of its own width
will separate 1t from the next star.
Flags may be made in all sizes. but
the above proportions should be pre-
served. Philadelphia Press.

When Robert Edwin Peary was a
student at Bowdoin college, as a men,
Der of the class of 1877, the professor
Of civil engineering, George L. Vose,
directed him to a difficult problem. A
large, complicated covered wooden
bridge had been constructed across the
Saco river without due respect for
scientific principles. When the bridge
threatened to fall, the designer tele-
scoped another bridge into it in such a
curious way that the fall Of the whole
structure was even more imminent
Peary was sent to make a drawing
showing just what beams and pins
would give way first and just how the
strain would feel its course from weak
ness to weakness. 1t was an extreme
ly complicated problem, involving test
after test and persistent calculations.
Yet, shortly after Peary made his full
report, the bridge collaped precisely as
he had predicted. Professor w. T.

Daniel and the Lions.

An old negro preacher in Kentucky
was dilating upon events In the Bible
which had a geological trend. he de-
scribed the deluge and how all the AMI
mails. two by two, went into the ark
and were saved. Then he discussed
the incident of Jonah and the whale,
Balaam's ass and finally the exploit or
Daniel, who entered the den Of raven
ing lions and emerged unharmed. His
auditors listened with interest, and
some of them seemed to have theli
doubts as to the authenticity Of the
tales.
Finally one Of the younger negroes
rose up and inquired. Say. pahson,
wuz dem lions Jest like the kind we
has now?"
"Cose not, cose not" retorted the
preacher. irritated at having bis dis
course interrupted. "Dey was B. O.,
meaning befo' circuses."
The explanation was sufficient and
satisfactory.-Bu Buffalo Commercial.
