OUR DEBT TO BUMBLE-BEES
These Busy Little Workers Play In
portant Part In Fertilization Of
Many Pretty Flowers.

Barney Hoskin Standish in an ar
ticle on 1.-THE Bumble-Bee" for the st.
Nicholas says: The work Of the
:bumble-bee In. bringing about the
cross-fertilization of flowers is al i'm.
portant as that of the honey-bee, and
these two stand at the head of the list
of insects useful in this respect. Each
has its flowers which it alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neu'
trail ground, visited by both. So we
may say of the bumble-bee, as Of the
honey-bee. the more bumble-bees the
more seeds: the more seeds the more
flowers-specially wild flowers, as the
tall bell-dower, touch-me-not, Solo,
mon's-seal, gentian, Dutchmen's
breecnes. and turtle-head. But prob
ably the most important work this In
sect does for agriculture is upon the
fields Of red clover. There is abun'
dant proof that this plant will not pro
duce seed without the cooperation OF
the bumble-bee. It is impossible for
the wind to bring about the fertiliza-
ton of the seed, as it may do in the
Case VI 1uUIdu COIu, 8AoAA <1AO 0OAAo
forest trees. The tube of red-clover
blossoms, too, is so long that other in
sects (including the honey-bee) are
not regular visitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumble-bee. This
insect is not native of Australia,
and red-clover failed to produce seed
there until bumble-bees were import
ed. AS soon as they became numerous
the plant could be depended upon for
seed. Again. the blossoms Of the first
crop Of the. medium red-clover" 81
our own country are just as perfect as
those Of the second crop, but there
are too few humble bees in the field,
SO early in the season. to produce fer
tilization: hence little or no seed in
this CROP II bumble-bees were sut1!-
GENTLY numerous there is no reason
why much larger yields Of clover seed
might not be expected than at pres
ent.

AN ELECTRIC ALARM CLOCK.

Here is the best kind Of an alarm
clock for the sound sleeping boy who
has difficulty in awakening on time.
1t will not only arouse him, but will
keep on ringing until he gets up and
turns the lever that opens the cleo
trio circuit.
You will see by examining the de-
tails Of this electric clock that it is
very simple to make. Almost any
kind Of an alarm-clock that you own
can be used, but for clock designed
similar to that in Fig. it should be
of the common round form shown in
Fig. 4. If you own clock of a differ
ent kind, you can change the design Of
the wooden case to suit It,
Fig shows the pattern for the
front and back of the wooden case for
the electric clock illustrated. In or

alike, first draw center-line as
shown, then each side Of this lay off

pieces themselves are cut out, 80 as
to leave as much margin around the

danger Of splitting the wood in cutting
the hole. Bevel the face edge Of the
hole cut through the front piece Gig.

The wooden case must be deep
enough to allow for dry battery. This
batter, will govern the width of the
side and top pieces; the lengths of the
side and top pieces will of course be
determined by the front and back
pieces already cut. Fasten the side
and top pieces to each other and to
the front piece, using flnishing-nails
for the mailing; then cut the base
piece Of the proper size to make a
projection of Y inch outside of the
case all around, and fasten the case

WOMAN IS Tree CHOPPER
Does the Work Of a Man In Lumber
Camp In 9ackwoods Of
Majne

D. Woodbury. Bachelor of this city.
engaged in the lumber business at
Damariscotta, Me-, has In his employ
most remarkable woman as regards
strength and endurance. She is Mary
Gregory, wife of Frank Gregory, says
the Manchester correspondent of the
Boston Globe.
She first entered the employ Of Mr..
Bachelor to provide meals for the
fourteen men In the camp. This she
was able to do and have half a day
left in which to engage in the work
of the men, and asked permission Of
Mr. Bachelor to take her place with
the choppers.
Mr.. Bachelor gave his consent and
was astonished to see her perform.
She welded an ak and made a rec
ord one day Of chopping, splitting and
piling three cords Of wood, task that
most men, hardened to the service of
the woods, are incapable of equaling.
Mr.. Bachelor says:
She is the strongest woman I ever
saw. No sooner does she fell a tree
than she is on top Of 1t, limbing it out,
and in every line of work she Is the
equal Of the men in camp. She handles
a cross-cut saw with all the skill Of
a man and not laborer In the camp
can surpass her in the amount of work
accomplished"
She is thirty-five years old, weighs
about 175 pounds, stands 5 feet 8
inches, and Is as quick as flash. She
is fond of sport and expert as a
wrestler. Mr.. Bachelor says he has
yet to see a man in camp who can
match her at wrestling. She is not
afraid to try conclusions with any Of
them. She has put every man who
has been willing to wrestle her on his
back, and yet is modest in speech and
manner, the mother of seven children,
native of Nova Scotia, and prior to
! making her home In the Maine woods
lived in Massachusetts.
Her husband works in the woods
with her, but is far from being her
equal in strength.

'curacy with which the ends of the side
and top pieces are cut, so be careful
in preparing them.
The alarm-clock is supported upon a
narrow shelf fastened to the back
piece GA, Fig. ~. The face of the
alarm-clock should be set flush with
the inside face of the front Of the
wooden case, so in fastening the clock
to shelf A, you must take this into
consideration. If the clock is exactly
as deep as the wooden clock-case, the
ring at the top Of the back Of the clock
can be screwed to the wooden back
(B, Fig. ~; if smaller. it will have
to be blocked out away from the back
piece. The bottom Of the clock is held
to the shelf by wiring the legs to
nails, as shown. The back board ia
screwed to the case so it can be re-
moved easily when the bell or battery
requires attention.
The battery should be placed in the
bottom OF the case, and the electric
bell should be screwed to tho inside
Of the face. as shown In Fig. 3. Cut
the wooden block C a trifle smaller
in diameter than the inside depth of
the case Gigs. and g., drive the
nails D and E into the edge at right
angles. as shown in Fig. 6, and screw
the block through its center to the
side of the case on a line with the
center of the alarm-clock Gig. 81.
Drive nail F into the side of the case
one-half inch below block c and in
line with its center Gigs. and g.,
then connect this nail and one Of the
binding posts Of the battery with a
piece of electric-bell wire, connect nail
D with one Of the binding-posts of the
electric-bell, and connect the remain
ing binding post of the battery with
that of the bell.
Cut a small slot through the back
board of the case for nail E. You will
see that when nail E is pushed up,
block c will turn, arG that when nail
D strikes nail F the electric circuit
will be closed and the bell will ring.
