THE HONEY I'M FLOWERS.
Pits and Pockets In Which 1t Is Care
fully Concealed.

Before "the bee sucks" as Ariel
put it, he must find the wonderful
places where the flowers hide away
their honey, to be found like the
priests hiding holes in ancient
mansions by the right sort of Wis
ltor, and to keep away all intruders.
In the recesses of the crown i'm
perial lily at the center can be seen
six large honey pits, one on every
floral leaf, and each is trimming
over with big drop Of honey and
gistening like tear drop. Shake
the flower and it "weeps" as the big
drops fall from it, soon to be re-
placed by other tears in the rapidly
secreting flower. The simple folk
call the flower "Job's tears"
The snowdrop is literally flow
ing with honey, for in swollen veins
traversing its fragile whiteness are
rivers of nectar. The petals of the
columbine are ingeniously and elab-
orately designed with view to pro-
viding good places of hiding for
the honey. Each is circular, hol-
low, shaped like a horn. In each
the honey is secreted in a round
knob at which would be the mouth
piece end of the horn, and the five
are arranged in a ring side by side
with the honey knobs aloft. Though
the honey store is obvious from
without, yet the insects who would
sip it must creep into the flower
and penetrate with a long nose up
the curving horn to the knob.
Sometimes the petals are all
joined together into tube, and the
sweet nectar simply exudes from
the inner side of the wall and col
lects at the bottom. This is the
case in the dead nettle, the tube of
which forms so toothsome morsel
that some children call it "suckies."
The honeysuckle is similarly plan
ned, and its sweetness is so striking
as to have furnished its name.
The monkshood has quaint nee
taries. II the hood be drawn back
there suddenly spring into sigh
two objects on long stalks which
are sometimes like a French horn,
sometimes like a cowl or, looked at
sideways, not unlike a pair of
doves. Their presence within the
hood has provided the nicknames
Alam and Eve and Noah's Ark.
Thus tn" honey bags are carefully
tucked away and protected Chi
cago TribN1e.

Blueields. Nicaragua (via wireless
to Colon), Dec. 10.-Following Tues
days engagement west of Rama be-
tween a division of Estrada's army
and the government forces under
Vasquez, Estrada today is playing a
waiting game at Rama. He believes
himself impregnably intrenched and
will await the attack from Zelaya's
army under General Oseja, camped
less than 10 miles from Estrada's
outposts. Fortiflcations, including
barbed wire 'bsrricades, are thrown
up in front of Rama, and these, with
a towering hill, give Estrada a posi-
ton from which it is thought to be
almost impossible to dislodge him
Estrada believes Oseja eventually will
be forced to attack Rama. as his men
are in desperate straits and would
suffer greatly If they tried to return
to Managua. II OseJa refuses, how
ever, the revolutionists will take the
aggressive and force a battle.
