FOOT OF THE BEE.

Strong Claws and Flexible Pads For
Rough and Smooth Surfaces
The seeming miracle Of insects walk
ing nonchalantly on a ceiling is ex-
planned by Tickner Edwardes, chair
man of the British Beekeepers' asso-
citation, in his book on THE Lore Of
the Honeybee." Insects owe such pow
er, it appears, to an ingenious device
which is well illustrated in the foot of
the bee.
She has a pair Of short, strong dou-
BILE claws, which win take her securely
over all but the smoothest and shiniest
surfaces, and 1t is with these claws
that bees form themselves into dense
clusters and knots and cables within
the hive. holding hand to hand. as fl
were. in all directions. But when
