The Eyes Of a Bee.

Every bee has two kinds of eyes
the two large compound ones looking
like hemispheres on either side, and
the three simple ones which crown the
TOD of his head. Each compound eye
Is composed Of $500 facets-that is to
say, an object is reflected $500 times
on it's surface. Every one Of these
facets Is the base of an inverted hex
ugonal pyramid whose apex is fitted
TO the head. Each pyramid may be
termed an eye, for each has its own
iris and optic nerve. How these in
sects manage this marvellous number
Of eyes is not yet known. They are
immovable, but mobility Is unnecessary
because Of the range Of vision afford
ed by the position and the number or
facets. They have no lids. but are
protected from dust and injury by
rows Of hairs growing along the lines
at the functions of the facets. The
simple eyes are supposed to have been
given the bee to enable it to see above
its head when intent upon gathering
honey from the cups CT flowers. Prob
ably this may be one reason, but 1t Is
likely there are other uses for them
not vet ascertained. -Pearson's Week

TO THE
Owners of Dogs!
MAYORS OFFICE.

Alexandria. Va. June II. 1910
All persons owning or intending to
keep any animal of the dog or canine
species should come forward on or before
JUNE TWENTY-EIGHTH, 1910,
and take out a license for the same from
the Auditor After the 3Oth of June all
persons owning or harbOring dogs with
out the required license are subject to
fine rs the laws on the subject require OF
$500 or 800.
Complaint has been frequently made
that many persons fail to take out their
license. and that others pay on one or
two dogs when owning and harborlng
more. or who send such dogs away dur
ing the summer months and bring them
back in the fall.
Attention has been called to this eva
sion of the law. and policemen will re-
port all such cases. and fines can be i'm
poscd upon those who fail TO take out
licenses after trial in the Police Court.
In order To avoid any mistakes persons
who make application for licenses would
do well to write their names and number
of residence. street, etc, on card or
paper when making application Tor thelr
licenses to the Auditor.
Attention is also called to the fact that
while the payment ola license Tx Is re
quircd by the laws Of the city, whether
a dog is kept on the premises OF the
owner at all times or not, yet the pay
ment of such tax does not entitle
the dog TO the unrestricted use
of the streets and alleys of the
city. both day and night, for it is
provided by law that: The Mayor, in
addition ut any and all times, in his dis
erection. by proclamation, snail declare
that all such dogs rs above licensed snail
be securely muzzled. and if any such
dogs be found running at large during
the continuance Of such proclamation
without the required muzzle they shall
be- seized by the police force or oliler
persons designated by the Mayor for
such purposes and conveyed toa suitable
place and destroyed"

when your head is on a pillow, but 1t
does not sound musical then. Try the

Where Knowledge Was Bliss.

: A certain professor Of histology who
delivers lectures in one of the eastern
colleges is not ayerse to a quiet bit OF
diversion on the side, as instance his
wife's discovery.
"See here, Robert" said she to the
doctor as she fumbled In his pockets
after his late arrival home, what are
all these red, white and blue disks l
find here In your pocket"
"Eh? Yes-why-those-are-that Is
Il use-ch-I mean dlsks-to illustrate
my lectures on the blood. You see,
the white ones represent the white cor
puscles and the red ones the red cor
puscles Of the blood"
"And, pray, what do the blue ones
representa-"
"Eh? The blue ones? Oh-yes-h'm!
Why-er-certalnly-they represent the
corpuscles of the venous blood"
Well, maybe she believed him and
maybe-well, he quit playing poker, at
any rate.-Harper's Weekly.

Their Old Stories.

A man who never could tell story
Joined a story tellers' club that thought
II had a corner on the humor of the
universe. The man got along very
well so long as he didn't have to say
anything, but there came a time when
he was put on the program for a
humorous story, and then his wife
coached him for a week beforehand
on one Of her own funniest stories.
When he came home from the story
telling contest she asked him how
things went. He said: Pretty well.
All the other fellows told some
mighty good ones" Then he gave a
synopsis Of the good ones the other
fellows had told. "Darned clever,
those chaps are" he said. 81 don't
know what they would think Of me II
they knew I had learned my story
from a woman. They don't think
much of a woman's sense Of humor.'
"You needn't let that worry you
dear" she said sweetly. 81 have
heard the other fellows wives tell
their old stories at card parties for the
last five years."-New York Press.

BEATING the Postoffice.

Here Is Il curious process by which
the French postoffice was beaten. A
wealthy merchant who refused to pay
an excess fee was sued by the postal
authorities and lost the suit. He re-
tallated by building a shanty in a re-
mote district Of the Hautes-Alpes,
about twenty miles from any postof-
fee and installing therein a shepherd,
I'm whose name he subscribed to the
daily Petit Journal. According to the
. terms Of the postal monopoly In
France, the department Is bound to
provide a daily service wherever re-
quired, and it would have been neces-
sary to engage postman solely for
the delivery Of this newspaper, as no
other house Is to be found within a
radius Of about eight miles. The post
office, sooner than embark on an ex-
penditure Of about $240 year, con-
scented to forego the 10 centimes e
cents In dispute, pay the defendants
costs and compensate the shepherd for
the loss of his daily paper.
