RIVALS OF CARRIER PIGEONS.
Sawdust as a Polisher-Potato Skins to
Clean Decanters.

The directive sense which is possessed
by bees is the object of researches made
by NJ. CASTOR BONNER of Paris, and he
seems to prove that bees possess a spe-
cial sense like that Of carrier pigeons
Bees can fly for two miles from the hive
and are then able to return after gather
ing their supply of honey, says the Sci
entifc American
Langstroth and others suppose that
vision comes into play, and that bees
can see for n great distance, and can
also note objects on the way so as TO
find their path. Others, with Dadent.
suppose that the bees are guided by the
sense of smell, and that they can smell
flowers ut distances of one and a half
miles. The author makes experiments
TO prove that bees can return to the hive
without using either sight or odor.
AS to sight he takes bees to n distance
of IL miles from The hive, in a closed
box. They always fly back to the hive
when released. The same is true when
their eyes are covered. so that sight is
not essential.
AS regards odor, experiments seem to
prove that bees perceive odors at only
short distances. When a needle dipped
in ether is brought near the head of the
bee it shows signs Of perceiving the odor.
but not so when the needle is placed
back Of him or near other organs. Be
sides, when the organs of smell (anten-
nael are removed entirely the bees will
return to the hive.

OPEN AIR ORCHARD HEATING.
How the Fruit of Grand Valley. Colo.
Was Saved from the Frost.

The 1909 crop of fruit in the grand
valley of Colorado, from the Palisades
above to Iona below, valued mt $1,000
ND. owes its existence 10 unique hat-
tie which was waged against Jack Frost
NJ time when the fruit was nj its ten
dereSt age BY unusual generalship and
the work of hundreds of enthusiastic
volunteers the temperature in these or
chardS was actually raised \ and 9 de-
gfteS over twenty-seven miles of terri
tory and a precedent was established
which VIII mean much to the future
In California il Is said that the tenn
perature has been raised heretofore in
some single orchards > or 3 degrees, but
never to degrees and never before
as the work has been carried on over SO
great Gu area. Plans are now on foot
70 have every bearing orchard in the
Grand valley protected by next season.
NOT that there is any likelihood of frost
every spring in this section. but because
the protection against possible repetition
OF this years experience Is considered
cheap insurance.
The raising of the temperature over
tins large area was accomplished by
means of some 100000 Smudge pots of
many different types. some burning oil
for fuel and some coal, and placed ut in
tervalS in the orchards. OIL was car
Tleu 10 the pots III wagon tanks equipped
for the purpose. Spraying machines
Were also used in distributing the oil
\ large supply of lighters was kept in
readiness in dry place. Many of these
lighters We're made by wrapping waste
about twisted wire.
All operations were directed from
Grand Junction. Weather stations es-
tablished over much of the territory and
equipped with thermoStats when the
weather arrived made half
hourly reports on the temperature to
Grand Junction. When finally the dam
ger point was approaching warning was
sent to all the ranchmen to light the
fires. Volunteers ALSO in nearly all walks
of life made their way in automobiles
and wagons and ON bicycles over the en-
tire area.
So we'll did this orchard heating idea
work that while the temperature outside
the heated area dropped as low as 20
degrees within the heated area ii did
not 20 below 29la Seventy-fve per
cent of all the fruit trees which were
in bloom were cared for directly, while
even orchards owned by those who were
skeptical of the idea, were saved by the
fires in the adjoining territory.-Scien-

Winter Visitors.

Nova Scotia to Alaska is the chosen

birds that spend the winter in the Unit
Ell States The butcher bird, or great
northern shrike. the fox sparrow, a
Titan among his kind, the tree sparrow,

summer by one who, defyng the innu-

that watery territory, pushes his canoe
along the aquatic highways OF the
north.
Perhaps some who are not familiar
with the habits of birds may wonder
why one Of these residents OF the north
ern woods should have received the cog
nomen of butcher bird. While names
DO not always mean what they suggest
as in the case Of the cut-rhrgat. an Atrl-

so called is a narrow band Of red across
