HARD TO BEAT" such thing as
payin' too much for it. And, William
my boy, when man gives up all or
nearly all that makes life worth Twin
in order to win financial success he's
sellin' short on happiness with a
mighty slim chance to get hold of the
stock for delivery.
"Yes, know what you'll say-you're
workin' to get start, to lay a founda-
tion of little fortune. to provide the
right kind Of home for your wife
and I'm pattin' you on the back all
the time and sayin' Bully boyv That's
the sort of stuff that makes men;
that's the power that makes the world
60 round. But a man wants to be
mighty careful that he don't keep
on runnin' around the track after the
finish, and he wants to look out that
he don't lose diamonds while he's
scramblin' for pearls. My old father
was country doctor. and he always
carried his quinine and calomel and

went down the road like Satan beatin'

got to the place he found strap had
broke and every bit of his medicine
had been scattered along the road.
MANY man goes lopin' along the
road to riches with his nose to the

the fellows who've gone that way be-

to catch up with them that he don't
know he's got holes in his pockets and
is losin' things a lot more valuable

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
from the hive and are then able to re-
turn after gathering their supply of
honey. Langsroth and others suppose
that vision comes into play and that
bees can see for a great distance and
can also note objects on the way so as
to find their path. Others, with Da-
dant, suppose that the bees are guided
by the sense Of smell and that they
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 distance of one and two
tenths miles from the hive in closed
box. They always few 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 a needle
dipped in ether is brought near the
head of the bee. it shows signs of per-
ceiying 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. M. BONNER made the following
experiment: At 600 feet from the hive
be placed supply of sirup, and the
bees soon found it. proceeding to and
from the hive. Such bees he marked
with green colored powder. He then
placed a second supply Of sirup at the
same distance from the hive. but
spaced at twenty feet from the former.
Other bees were now engaged in the
to and fro movements to this point.
but these were not the same individ-
uals as the green marked ones, who
were still working on the first sup
ply, and he marked these In red. This
gave two distinct sets of bees, able to
distinguish two directions which form
ed very acute angle. These facts NJ.
BONNER believes indicate a special di-
rective sense which does not reside in
the antennae. but probably in the cere-
broid ganglia.

queens velvet-seated armchair, the
lamp by the light of which she wrote

, Glass Walls for Fruit Trees.

An interesting experiment in fruit
growing has been recently carried out
BY the Count de Choiseul and de-
scribed in Cosmos. When a south wall
Is used for fruit trees the north side
OF the wall is practically wasted as far
as fruit is concerned. Count de Choi-
seul has used glass wall, and grown
fruit trees on both sides. The produce
on the north side is little inferior to
that on the south. photograph
shows heavily fruited pear trees on
both sides of the wall. The wall, so
feet long and 61s feet high, had Is
pear trees planted on each side. In
1907 134 pears, weighing 81 pounds,
were gathered on the south side of
the wall. and 109, weighing n pounds,
on the north side. The variety grown

opposed TakInq Of Census.

The first census in history was that
taken of the Jews by David who
counted all males over 20 with their
cattle. The procedure aroused the
wrath of the people and it was cur
rently believed that God punished the
race for the impiety involved. Later
censuses were quite as unpopular, and
even in America in the eighteenth cen
tury a great deal of opposition to the
scheme was caused by the govern
ments proposal to count heads. Gov.
Hunter of New York. in 1712. attempt
ed to make census, but abandoned
the idea after he had it well started
A few years later the New Jersey gov
ernment attempted the same task, but
also gave it up because of the oppo-
sition among the people. who still
clung to the belief that the Almighty
objected to the enumeration.
