MAKES PETS OF BEES.
Handles Insects With as Much Safety

San Antonio, Tex, May 29.-An en-
ploye of the Maverick apiary named
Charles Potchernick has unusual con-
troll over bees. He handles them with
as much apparent ease as one would in
playing with kittens or a harmless pet.
He is used to their ways and ap-
pears absolutely oblivious to the facf
thai they can sting. While working
with them he goes bare armed and
bare faced and pays no attention to the
insects as they crawl over his exposed
hands and arms or pile up in great
clumpS on his face.
Recently he had a picture taken
holding a small limb in his teeth on
which a swarm had settled. The bees
formed a kind Of long beard hanging
below his waist and HE entire face
was covered with those that crawled
from the, limb.
Old beeleepers say that his feats in
handling bees are the most remarkable
in the world. He claims that he has
not been stung in two years.
