HOW BEES FIND THEIR WAY.

How are bees able to find their way
nome 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 return after gathering their supply
of honey. Langstroth and others sup
pose that vision comes into play and
that bees can see for great distance
and can also note objects on the way
SO as to find their path. Others, with
Dadant suppose that the bees are
guided by the sense of smell, and that
they can smell flowers at distances of
one 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 a distance of one and
two-tenths miles from the hive, in a
closed box, They always flew 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 doors at
only short distances. When a needle
dipped in ether is brought near the
head of the bee, It shows signs of per-
ceiving the odor, but not so when the
needle is placed back of him or near
other organs. Besides, when the or
gans of smell are removed entirely
the bees will return to the hive. M
BONNER made the following expert
ment: At 600 feet from the hive he
placed a supply of strip, and the bees
soon found it, proceeding to and fro
to the hive. Such bees he marked
with green-colored powder. He then
placed second supply of syrup at the
same distance from the hive, but
spaced at twenty feet from the form
er.
Other bees were now engaged in the
to and fro movements to this point,
but these were not the same individu-
ais 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
formed very acute angle. These
facts NJ BONNER believes indicate
special directive sense which does
not reside in the antennae, but prob
ably in the cerebroid ganglia.

She could not speak, but her eyes

Lord Marmion turned pale ana

on the bear side was the somewhat
