How Bees Find Their WAY.

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
frcm 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 IL great distance and
can also note objects Oh the way SO as
to end 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 a distance of one and two
tenths miles from the hive in closed
box. They always flew back to the
hive when released The same is true
when their eyes were covered. SO that
sight was not essential.
AS regards odOr. experiments seem
to prove that bees perceive odorS at
only short distances. When Il needle
dipped in ether is brought near the
head of the bee, it 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 HOnnier made the following
! experiment: At 600 feet from the hive
/ be placed a supply of sirup. and the
bees soon found it. proceeding to and
from the hive. Such bees h, markp

HORRORS OF THE ARCTIC.

Terrible Experience of the Crew of the
Ill Fated Jeanette.
When Ross In 1918 touched at Etah
The Esks thought they were being Wis
lted by ghosts. With her white sails
appearing on the horizon, where the
sky melts into an abyss Of ocean,
what else could the ship be but some
great white winged ghost, and what
those strange creatures on her decks
but lost souls? They thought she, q
great bird, had flown from the moon,
where wood was abundant, and when
they saw her close, her wooden belly
and her masts. they whispered, How
much wood there is in the mOon-how
very much!' Wood is like gold to the
Esks.

THE CENTURY PLANT.

1t Blooms, Says Florist, Every Twen-
tyfve tc Forty Years.
The regular century plant" said an
expert in Horticulture, lis not q cactus
1t belongs to family by itself 1t has
large, broad leaf, sometimes two or
three feet long and several inches
thick where they branch from the cen
ter. There are two varieties, one the
variegated and the other green. The
only difference is that the variegated
has white stripe along the outer edge
of the leaf. Both bloom every twenty
five to forty years. A stock perhaps
eight or ten inches in diameter shoots
up from the center to height of fif-
teen or twenty feet. and around this
stock cluster small blossoms. They are
neither pretty nor fragrant They were
formerly supposed to bloom once In a
hundred years.
1.-The nearest thing to a century
plant is night blooming cereus 1t is
cactus and blooms once in about
every twenty-five years or so. The
flower Is large. very beautiful and has
a delightful odor. One plant may have
several blossoms, but each flower lasts
only one night.
There Is no such plant as a century

mistaken for century cactuses' will

new STRANGE SECT
WANT TO ESTABLISH A SOUTH
ERN COLONY in GEORGIA.
Five Hundred Of Them Live in One
House, ''The Temple Of David" at
Benton Harbor, Mich.

1t is very probable that some point
near Atlanta or Macon, Ca, will be
chosen as a site for the location Of
the new Southern colony of the
1sraelites, new sect of religionists,
whose American headquarters are
now located in Benton Harbor, Mich.
1t became known that Southern COL
ony of this sect was to be establish
ed when the Rev. James E. Tucker,
minister Of the new faith, visited
several cities in Georgia, looking
up various sites in search Of one on
which to locate the colony home.
The Rev. Mr.. Tucker and his COM
panion, the Rev. W. I. Smith, fell
low minister Of the new sect, caused
a mild sensation when they first ap-
peared in Georgia. Both Of the min
listers wore streaming boards and
flowing hair, which fell in profusion
over their shoulders. This allowing
the hair and beard to grow is one
one Of the tenets OF the new faith.
In explaining the new sect, the Rev.
MT. Tucker told of the home of the
Israelites in Benton Harbor.
According to his statement there
are n the Benton Harbor home 500
men, women and children, Aiving
in the House Of David, which Is To-
Gated in beautiful park Of IS acres.
The Israelites live close to nature,
among the trees and in close COM
panionship with the birds and ami
mails. Strict vegetarianism Is observ-
ed, and there is no giving in mar
riage. They eat of no meat, and
the closest celibacy is practiced.
Recruits and converts Of this new
faith are taken from all parts of
the world, but only from the Cau-
casion race. The colony at Benton
Harbor, Mich, is one Of three, the
others being located in England and
Australia. According to the present
plans, Georgia will have the fourth
colony.
Christ Is the head of our church,
and the saviour Of the body" de-
clared the minister. 'Israelites have
membership of $4,000 or $4,000
for each Of the II sons Of Jacob.
The Israelites have discovered the
secrets and mysteries Of the Bible
and are unsealing them to all the
world. We have our own publish
ing house, where tracts, papers,
pamphlets, ETC., are being dissent
mated to all parts of the world.
in the beautiful park in Benton
Harbor we have five brass bands,
which give free concerts during the
summer months, and several auto
mobiles which are used by our
preachers on their tours over the
country in the interest Of the
faith
