DEAF MUTEs' PRE-LANcUAoE
Persons Unable to Hear Are Educated
in This Feature by Their Far

Teachers of the deaf, from the
beginning, have been in the habit
Of questioning their pupils about
their pre-language thought. Many
answers received are wholly un
trustworthy. But after the chat
is sifted from the wheat q few
truths concerning the notions OF
the uneducated deaf are perfectly
well established.
The little deaf-mute finds him
self, when he FIRST realizes that he
is "other than the thing he sees"
dwelling in a world Of pantomime.
His brain is normal, and self-ex-
preston soon becomes q neces-

at least so far as we know them,

HAS NO FEAR FOR STINCS,
English Apiarist Fondles Busy In
sects and Yet Suffers No In
convenience Whatever.

Edward Hurd, an English api
artist, recently gave an exhibition
of ability to handle bees withou
any protection from their sting:
which was said to have been al
thrilling as any act of lion tanning
says the st. Paul Globe.
Rolling up his shirtsleeves Mr.
Hurd declared that anyone could
move a swarm of bees from one
hive to another and rob the count
less insects of their honey, provid
ed. they had confidence in them
selves.
He then proceeded to puff
smoke into a hive. This, he ex-
planned, terrified the bees, who
sought consolation by gorgina
themselves with food. In fact,
they ate, he said, till they were re.
duced to a condition of good-tem.
pered stupidity, when they could
be handled with impuinty.
Next, Mr.. Hurd lifted of the lid
of full hive and fixed an empty
hive cover at right angles to the
full one. Then he beat upon the
full hive, and Immediately the
bees started to walk into the
empty hive In a long procession.
In their passage his keen eye de.
tected the queen bee, and his max.
ed fingers closed upon her males.
tvs waist. He held her aloft for
all to see, and finally passed her
around in little box with a glass
lid.
Finally, Mr.. Hurd, just to show
how lamblike the bees were,
picked up a handful and fondled
them.
AS this courageous performer
slippedo out of the gauze cage so did
several of the bees, with the re.
suit that the audience rapidly die
