TROUSERS AS A BEE HIVE.

A pair OF trousers at YORKTOWN,
near Adelaide, are being put to a novel
use. Some time ago a swarm Of bees
took possession of the old pair of
pants, which had been hung as a
scaTecrow in big mulberry troe. The
bees have utilized tho discarded pants
as hive, and now the comb is hang
ing In clusters to the cloth. Tho re-
suls of the labor Of the honey gather
ers cannot be Of much benefit, for the
strange hive can scarcely DO proaf
against the rains Of the winter.

NEW SOURCE OF RUBBER.

A new source of rubber is found
in Borneo, according to paper read
on the subject before the Academic
des Sciences by Professor Dybowski.
It comes from the milk Of a plant
known as Dycra costulata, and, after
coagulating, the milk forms a white
germ known as jelutong. When
quite dried the matter is almost IS
hard as rosin, and it contains from
10 to 20 per cent rubber. 1t is said
to be superior to the best Congo rub
ber. A factory has been put in oper-
alton and is now running out a con-
siderable amount.

could only lie still and wait for theiT
parents to feed them. But, oh, how
hungry they were! When their moth
er came to the nest with a fish or a
frog. three yawning throats awaited
her, and she had to decide to which
she would give the morsel. It seemed
impossible that from such poor be
ginnings anything beautiful could
grow. But Mother Nature had given
them wonderful appetites, and in such
few weeks the frogs and the fish
and the snails would be changed to
feathers and bone and flesh. The
weak little babies would get strong
and able to walk and fly and to
catch fish for themselves. For those
few weeks the mother and father bird
must work early and late to bring food
for their babies.
Away up in the air the mother
egret came flying to her nest. Her
legs were held close to her body, her
long neck was folded over itself and
lay fiat on her back, her snowy plumes
foated in the air. She was as beauti-
full as a whiterobed angel. Straight
she came to the nest where three yell
low throats we're opened wide and
three little birds called a welcome.
Perhaps she was already trying to
decide to which baby she would give
the green frog in her beak. Up
tipped her wings, out went her neck
and her feet were thrust down to take
hold Of the edge Of the nest. Her
lovely plumes waved in the air. She
was just reaching out to drop the
green frog down the throat Of,
when bangi went a gun. A terrible
pain in her breast, a dizzy feeling
and she fell, fell, fell to the ground.
Two canoes slowly pushed their way
through the mass of lily pads that
marked the slough leading from the
Glades to the head Of the river. A
man stood in the stern Of each and
with a long pole forced the heavy
craft ahead The one in the forward
canoe was not an especially heroic
figure. Face, neck and hands were
tanned to the copper color Of the
Seminole. His feet were bare, the
brim Of his old straw hat was ragged
and one side hung down until it hid
the side of his face Across the heap
of camping supplies, Indian specimens
and tins of food, sprawled a man
burned even darker than his com
panion. He was stripped to a sleeve
less undershirt and a pair Of khaki
trousers. A small canvas hat that
once had been white rested upon his
head and completed the picture Of
disreputableness. His face was re-
deemed by pair Of gold-rimmed spec
tacles. Not handsome, by any stand
ard, but alert, receptive and thought
full In a word, a German student
scientist. To supply vacancy in the
collection of representative aboriginal
tribes, this curator had invaded the
Big Cypress swamp and explored the
Everglades Of Florida to their inner
most recesses. He had followed the
Seminoles to their camps and beguiled
from them costumes, implements and
ornaments He had risked his life
that the vacant niche in his museum
might be filled.
Which way now, Frank?" he asked
the man with the pole.

BLINDED BY LIGHTNING.

Lightning played a queer trick at
Atlantic City, N. j., recently, as a re-
suit of which a man was struck blind.
The victim, Henry Adams, happened
to glance into mirror during a Sc
we're storm and saw the reflection of
vivid flash of lightning. Instantly he
fell to the floor unconscious. When
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-09-08

revived it was found that Adams was
totally blind. A delicate operation
was performed on him in the hope that
the paralyzed optic nerves could be
restored to usefulness. The opera
ton failed, and it is believed Adams
will be blind for life. Adams mother
once was struck by lightning, and in
his youth she always cautioned him
TO close windows during a storm. He
was doing this when the lightning
fash came.
