of such day is desolate in

him some distraction, but there was

BEES TEACH SCHOOL

to the latest invention in commercial
hives.
An apiarist was wanted at the Bronx
zoo, and Miss Haggerty took the ex-
animation for the place. She got 100
per cent.-ten points higher thai any
body else. All the other competitors
were men.
But Miss Haggerty did not get the
place, as somebody, who probably did
not know the difference between bee
and hookworm, ruled that she was
ineligible because she was woman.
So instead of going to the zoo Miss
Haggerty came back to Manhattan to
teach. and got place in school 100.
They had nature work there, OF
course. according to rule. but with
more work than nature about 1t. Miss
Haggerty was lonesome without her

Cured to her that hive might inter.
est the children and put littl, more
reality into that nature work She
suggested the idea to Miss Sarah
Goldie. the principal. and Miss Goldie
thought so well of the proposition
that she got the hives at her own ex
pense and the bee work of the school
was begun.

InCuIcate Many Virtues on Minds
of Youngsters of New York.
100000 Busy Insects In Hives on Roof
of Building in Charge of Pupils
Who Learn Industry and
Fearlessness.

New York-There are 100000
teachers in public school 1870, on East
Eighty-second street, all working with
out cent of pay from the city. The
principal subjects which they teach
the 1,400 children in the school are in
dustry, loyalty. fearlessness and clean
illness.
They also add lot to the fun the
pupils have and frequently a sample
of the teachers shop work is sent to
the members of the board of educa-
ton in the shape Of honey that needs
no government stamp to guarantee its
purity.
These teachers are tho oees that fill
three hives on the school ouse roof
and another in the assembly room on
the third hoor. All they demand OF
the city is the pollen in the flowers OF
Central park, and they go after 1t
themselves.
With all those bees and with all
those children in the same school,
there is only one case of singing on
record. The victim was little girl
IN the fourth grade She didn't scream
or Jump or kill the bee. On the con-
trary, she stood the pain with the
heroism of martyr to science and let
the insect take its own time in re-
n owing the singer and in leaving her
hand.
For she had learned in the course
of the bee lessons that the singer is
the end of the bees intestine and that
II 1t is torn off by blow or jump on
the part of the person stung the bee
dies. And the very next composition
day that little girl wrote the best
essay of the week on bees, taking the
| sting for her special subject; and she
got the customary reward CT box Of
the school honey for her theme. That
incident surely justifies he placing OF
fearlesness in the special curricu-
lum of the hives.
Furthermore that stung child hasn't
any doubt about what she Is going to
do for living when she gets through
going to school, Like many of her
scboolmates, she is determined to
keep bees, on a city roof If she can,
and If not there, in the country. At
the youthful grammar school age near
ly all these children know practically
everything that 1t is necessary to
know about bees and the production
of honey to go into the business, to
say nothing about all those moral
qualities that, according to the school
books. the little busy bee" is sup
posed to !nstill.
This practical addition to the work
| of the school, the only school of the
4 city that has anything of the sort is
\ due to the enthusiasm of one of the
young women teachers, Miss Emma v
l.aggerty. She was trained As teach
er in this city, but after serving in the
public schools for a while went west
to see the country,
To pay expenses she taught for q

CANNED RATION NIL
Tested on English Soldiers Shows
Loss Of Strength.
Twenty Men Of North Lancashire Regs
ment Undergo Experiment Of TWO
Weeks TO Demonstrate Its
Good Qualities.

London.-Twenty men of the North
Lancashire regiment have just under
gone test for two weeks to prove tho
sustaining power of limited rations
The men have marched for fort
night on Salisbury plain under service
conditions, carrying rifle and bayo
net with $50 rounds of ammunition
They have covered 100 and ITO miles
of hard marching, mostly In bad
weather, sleeping under canvas, and
cooking their own meals.
No special selection of men was
made, as the purpose of the test was
to ascertain the effect of strict ant
limited diet on an average batch ~
soldiers varying in height, weight and
chest measurement For the frs
week canned rations alone were IL
sued. Some Of the men put on weight
others lost flesh. In every case the
effect of canned rations on the capaci
ty for marching was bad, leaving the
men without energy or the desire to
do more than endure existence.
During the second week the ordt
nary service ratons were issued, con.
sisting of one and one.fourth pounds
| fresh meat. or one pound nominal pre-
served meat, or one pound salt meats
one and one-fourth pounds bread. or
one pound biscuit, or one pound flour,
| five-eights ounce tea; one-thirty-sixth
ounce pepper; one-fourth pound jam;
]. two ounces sugar; one-half ounce salt;
I one.half pound fresh or four ounces
preserved vegetables. On this the men
marched from IA to 20 miles a day
and began again to enjoy life. and
gave evidence of returning energy by
playing football and hockey after the
march.
Beer, spirits, and cigarettes were
withheld during the first week, but foi
the second week two ounces of tobacco
was issued to each smoker. 1t waf
noted that, as usual, in the absenct
OF fresh vegetables. the men developed
craving for sugar and jam. The loss
of alcohol was not felt so keenly as
the loss of cigarets by those whe were
in the habit OF using them.
Daily, before and after the march
measurements and tests were taken
for pulse. blood. and pressure, and gen
eral condition, the men being ques
toned as to how they felt generally
The conclusion arrived at is that the
rations are on the light side, but there
is no doubt as to the splendid condi
ton of the men.
The canned ration weighed sever
and one-half ounces, divided in three
small tins. The breakfast tin consists
OF a mixture Of caked egg, fishs ant
bread; dinner. caked meat. egg, fish
oatmeal and fat; supper, caked cheese
egg and meat In addition to this |
small biscuit was served.
At the end OF two weeks the average
.. loss In weight man was Ave pounds
: and the average loss in chest measure
ment one inch. None fell out excep
, one man, who was sick after eatint
some nightshade berries, and was car
ried for half of one days march.

the glue, and Wilfred's sleeve and the
back cores of Adela's shirt waist had
become one and inseparable. This is
desirable in a union of states, but 1t
is not recommended for ALI purposes.
With CONSERVATION Wilfred then
started to leave the hammock. So
did Adelia. Instantly, without mo-
ment's hesitation. they did not leave.
Reader, have you ever been glued to
a large. round, sandy-complected mill
stone? Have you ever seated yourself
upon a milestone well buttered with
glue, with the girl of your choice be-
side you, and then sat there until the
glue hardened and you became, as you
might say, two souls with but single
not arise; they could not even side
step. They were glued to the mill
stone, and the milestone was glued
to the hammock and the hammock
was tied to two large trees, and the
roots of the trees extended many,
many feet into the soil. There was
but one thing to do.
Cautiously leaning forward, Adelia
and Wilfred began to remove the
loose pile of brick from benes 18th the
milestone, until all the bricks were
gone. Then, wrapped arm N arm,
they began to joggie the hamn ock. 1t
was a trying moment Sud- emily, as
out of clear sky, there was sound
of ripping, breaking, tearing, and then
thud. The milestone had fallen to
earth, taking with 1t the central por-
tion of the hammock This left a
large hole in the hammock. 1t also
took with it Pardon me, | should
say it also left large At any
rate Wilfred and Adelia sped hastily

Half an hour later Mr.. Randolph

lence. AS has been said, he is pas
sionately fond of reclining in ham
mock. He has since remarked to
| Uncle Ashdod Clute that his inven
ton of a non-tippng hammock was q
| success. Formerly, when he entered
hammock one thing always hap
/ pened-the hammock reversed itself
/ and threw him out. But now Ran
dolph Binks walked up to his ham
mock and threw himself into it with
confidence.
The hammock did not, Mr. Binks
says, throw him out. Mr.. Binks mere
ly walked up to the hammock in the
dark and threw himself into it, Mr.

the hole that had been torn in the
i hammock he thought very few things
worthy of reproduction by the press
He says he merely passed through Z
simple. unconventional way, and me
the milestone quite informally, salut
ing it with the back of his head FL
says it was mere love tap-for th'

Mr. Binks claims that his hammock
was a success on three counts: First
