bee visits ten flowers on the average
;vx OH 10
600 flowers are visited in one day by
the bees of a single hive. An addi-
tional large number of visits is re-
Quired for the collection of pollen.
These figures explain why many trees
and plants bear small crops in the
absence of bees.
The bee is charged with various
imaginary crimes. Its sting is for
midable, but chiefly to the imprudent.
1t is accused of ravaging fruit. but its
tongue is formed exclusively for the
extraction of sweet juices. and its
mandibles are unable to pierce the
skin of fruit. Grapes have been
taken intact from the interior of a
hive in which they had been allowed
to remain four days. \ grape which
had been smeared with honey was
licked clean. but was not injured. The
bees inserted their tongues in pin
holes made in the skin of grape and
extracted some of the juice. but they
were unable to enlarge the holes. In
some districts bees are menaced by
insecticides intended for other in
sects. At Terricio. Italy. in 1907. all
the bees were killed by spraying the
olive trees with sodium arsenate mix
ed with molasses for the purpose of
destroying the olive f1y.-COsmos.

Sanitary Concrete.

The sanitary properties Of the re-en-
forced concrete building should partic-
ularly appeal to merchants who con-
template the erection of a store build
ing. Such a building is sanitary in
the highest degree. 1t is damp proof
and vermin proof Therefore this type
of construction means much to the
merchants carrying goods which can
be attacked by mice, rats. bugs. etc..
and also merchandise which may be
affected by dampness. There are no
open spaces in the solid walls and
floors within which vermin can hide,
nor can they bore holes.

they resist any new valuation of the

to cap it all, they propose to put a

end they have rejected the Lloyd

The Deadly Parallel.


In August, 1774, Anne Robert
Jacques Turgot, Baron de lAulne,
enc of the most learned men of
France-an aristocrat born, but a
democrat in action of the type of
Thomas Jefferson-was appointed by
tho well-intentioned young king,
Louis XVI, to the Office of controller
general of France, or what We would
call secretary of the treasury.
Likewise when Mr. Asquith became
premier of the British government a
year ago, David Lloyd-George, an ex-
tremely able statesman and advanced
democrat, became chancellor of the
exchequer, or secretary of the treas
ury.
Turgot had to face social condi-
tons in which tens of thousands were
suffering the last extremes of pow
erty, many actually dying Of starva-
ton, while the aristocrats, constitut-
ing only one per cent of the whole
population of France, owned one-half
the land and almost all the import
ant improvements and valuable NOV
ables. Besides, there were fright
fully muddled finances.
Lloyi-George has had to face So
oal conditions in which tens of thou
sands of British workmen are idle or
who toll for wages that scarcely keep
their families from starving and are
herded together as if they were
brutes rather than human beings.
And yet the aristocrats in the house
Of lords own most of the United King
dom, wear purple and fine linen and
dine sumptuously. Seven lords in
London alone draw more than $751;

out of the slums, too. AS for the
finances. Lloyd-George found them
frightfully confused by the proceeding
Tory government.
