The Presidential Salute,

One explanation of the reason for
adopting twenty-one guns as the presi-

many surmises as to why the number
twenty-one was settled upon we men

Brain of tho Baa.

In German scientific periodical @.

of the brain Of the bee. AS might be
expected from its wonderful instincts,
this is found to be very complex. The
various divisions Of the brain are de-
scribed in detail, but perhaps the most
interesting part is the comparison Of
the brains Of queens. workers and
drones. The worker has larger brain
than the queen, and as the difference
between queen and worker is the re-
suit of diet during the grub stage it
appears that the food which develops
