FOOT OF THE BEE.
Strong Claws and Flexible Pads For
Rough and Smooth Surfaces

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 we'll illustrated in the foot of
the bee.
She has a pair Of short, strong dou-
BILE claws. which will take her securely
over all but the smoothest and shiniest
surfaces. and it is with these claws
that bees form themselves into dense
clusters and knots. and cables within
the hive. holding hand to hand. as 1t
were. in all directions. But when
there Is nothing for the claw to hold
by another part Of the foot comes into
play. This is a soft, flexible pad.
which Is always covered by a thick.
oily exudatton. In walking the bee
puts her feet down three at a time.
the pads adhering instantly they come
into contact with the smooth surface.
At the next step the other three pads
come into play. while the first three
are stripped of. But each foot is
capable Of attaching and detaching it.
self independently Of its fellows.
In this case. we learn. 1.-The strip.
ping is accomplished by downward
pressure Of the claws Of the same
foot"

"Quincy Adams Sawyer"

There is no question that in these
strenuous days OF business life, when
competition is SO fierce that those
who succeed do so only at the ex-
pense of a tremendous output of en-
ergy. the majority of the people who
attend the theater do SO to be taken
out of themselves. They seek in the
play house recreation and relaxation
for their nervous organization.
To this much of the success of
Quincy Adams Sawyer" is doubtless
due. for as celebrated dramatic crit
ic of the middle states has expressed
refreshing autumn breeze, straight
from the hills of New England bring
ing with it the sweet aroma of the
woods and the homely music of the
farmyard."
No one who sees it can rise from his
seat at the close of the performance
without feeling refreshed. The play is
tonic in it's brightness and it's total
freedom from the hackneyed and the
conventional AS rural drama it is
quite unlike all other plays of its
class. Its sentiment possesses quaint
and delicate unobtrusiveness that is
quite it's own.
; One great charm is its exceeding
fidelity to nature. This appears even to
it's comedy, for the fun which it ami.
mates almost every moment of the
plays action. although irresistibly
funny, is never strained to the point
of burlesque. The laughter that it in
variably creates is of kind that nc
one can rgret Those who see this
play at the Gennett theater tonight
| will realize why it is that Quincy Ad
ans, Sawyer" has popularity SO pecu
| liar to itself.

MARRIED FL|RTERS
Mother Urges Whipping Post
for Such Benedicts.

BAL T1MORE, Nov. 11.-Let those
men who give girl wink or a nod
N the streets beware, Marshal Far
nan is thinking of getting on their
to a crusade in the western cities
trail. His attention having been
called to a crusade in the western
cities against flirting and particu-
larly by 4 letter he received from a
mother declaring that married men
the marshal expressed his disapproval
Of Filtration on the part OF married
mon.
The writer of the letter not only
recommends that flirting married men
be arrested and jailed but suggests
that the whipping post would be good
for them. The marshal declares
that it is not only the young "Johnies'
who flirt. but many married men in
their forties.
Some old men are as bad as the
young ones" commented the mar
shall. The writer of the letter says
that she is sure that Marshal Farnan
and flirt- and the marshal agrees
with her
Here is the letter:
"Marshal-I write to you to find
out if there is any way in your power
to put a stop to married men deceivins
their wives. l think they ought to
get a Jail sentence or be sent to the
whipping post for deceiving their
wives. l am sure flirting and taking
other women to secluded places is
worse than striking their wives.
MY daughter is married and has a
nice home and has most everything
she wants, but her husband is one of
those kind that spends a great deal OF
his time at summer resorts and differ
ent places OF amusement. She never
says one word to him, but her heart
is breaking. She has been told and
got hints that he is flirting with other
women. She told me this morning
when she read about the Beattie case
and particularly what you had to say
she looked at me so sad and said 4:
Ma. Mr.. Farnan must be a grand man
bet he would not deceive his wife.
1T would be the greatest thing that
ever happened in Baltimore if all such
men had to serve a sentence and be
exposed. For a girl to be married and
every one pointing to her and saying:
oh her husband goes with other
women is enough to make people dc
desperate things. l will look in the
paper to see if you take any notice OF
this"

A MEMORY TEST.

The Act by Which One Controversy
Was Decided.
Three men were diSputing in Berlin
one day as to which OF them had the
best memory. aud finally they asked .

The third man was silent. and the
referee said to him: why don't yor
tell US what you can do? A few min
utes ago you were Boosting a good
deal OF your wonderful memory"
Il know it," was the reply. but

A COOL RECEPTION.
It Was Not Surprising. Though. Ir
View Of the Explanation.

II Was Not Surprising. Though. In
View Of the Explanation.
Letters Of introduction are not in
vuriably serviceabIe. For one reason.
they may be too frank. Harry Fur
Miss in his Confessions of a Carica-
turist" says that when brother artist
was setting forth on his travels in for
eign climes he was provided with a
letter OF introduction to certain Brit
ish consul.
The writer Of the letter inclosed it
in one to the artist. saying that he
would find the consul Il most arrant
snob. a bumptious. arrogant humbug.
a cad to the backbone. Still. he would
probably offer some courtesies to any
one who had good social standing
and thus compensate the traveller for
having to come in contact with such
an insufferab BILE vulgarian.
On the return of the artist to Eng
land the writer of the letter asked
how he had Jared with the consul.
WELL my dear fellow" drawled the
artist. "he did not receive me very
warmly. and he did not ask ME to din
ner. In fuct. he struck me as being
rather COOL
well. you do surprise me-" rejoined
his friend. He's cad. as l told you
in my letter. but he's very hospitable
and l really can't understand this state
of things You gave him my letter OF
introduction"'
"Why. thought so; but. do you
know. on my journey home l discov
cred it in my pocketbook. so mus
have handed to him instead your note
to me about him."
The explanation was quite adequate

Russian Orchestra,

Mr.. w. w. Andrieff, the director and
organizer of the Imperial Russian
Court Balalaika Orchestra. besides be-
ing an accomplished musician, is also
a student of mathematics and astrono-
my. In his native country, Russia, the
Julian calendar still prevails. In figur-
ing dates in this country, where the
Gregorian calendar is in use. and COM
pairing them with certain dates in Rus
STA, it is always necessary to mention
the Russian System so as to arrive
at the correct date.
Mr. Andreeff, watching the Italian
innovation OF placing the day at TWEEN
tyfour hours. such as the Italian rail-
way time tables illustrate. was highly
interested in the idea of Hungarian
mathematician. one Konos Jeno, who
suggested reform of tlme-figuring by
placing everything on the decimal sys-
tenn. But the Hungarian scheme is
faulty. as it does not permit of com
plying with the beginnings of imely
reckoning.
The scheme that Mr.. Andreeff has
evolved. however, permits the exact
figuring of time as governed by the
solar system. Instead of adopting the
Hungarian scheme of having ten
week days. Mr.. Andreeff adheres to
the basis of seven week days, but
adopts thirteen months for the year.
assigning just twenty-eight days to
each month. in other words. fully four
weeks, not more nor less This will
permit Sundays to re-occur always on
the first. eighth. fifteenth and twenty
second day of the month.
The calendarian inaccmacy of the
first order. occasioned by the 365th
day. is corrected by making New
Years an undated celebration of the
advent Of new time period. The as
Economical inaccuracy occasioned by
the additional extra day Of Leap Year
is adjusted by having another date
less day. which might be called Leap
Year Day"
Mr. Andreeff trusts that America
a country devoid of superstition, will
not object to the addition of thir-
teenth month of the year, and he pre-
poses to name the additional month
''Trecember." according to the proper
Latin nomenclature.

How Perfume 10 Weiqhe4.

It was the Italian physician Safv1oni
who devised microbalance Of such
extreme delicacy that it clearly demon
strated the loss OF weight of musk by
volatilization. Thus the invisible
perfume floating off in the air is 1ndi
rectly weighed. The essential part OF
the apparatus is very thin thread OF
glass. fixed at one end and extended
horizontally. The microscopic objects
to be weighed are placed upon the
glass thread near its free end and the
amount OF 1exure produced is observ.
ed with microscope magnifying 1OC
