BEES ARE HOT.

Everyone who has been stung by
q bee knows the burning sensation
that accompanies the sting,
Fhis is. OF course, due to the acid
that is injected by the little weap-
on in the bees tail, But the expert
ence has led to a number Of sayings,
such as "the hot end Of a bee" and
so on.
/. 1t Q appears, however, that the
bee actually lie hot. The fever with
which it works sometimes develops
into a temperature 80 great as to
partly cook the honey in the hives,
and to actually bake the busy insects
themselves. Bee raisers have only
recently found that this is the reason
for the wiping out of many of their
colonies instead of, as has been sup
posed. the presence Of some unidenti-
fled bacilli.
We speak Of people getting into a
fever over their work or worry, and
it is true that both things do raise the
temperature of human beings. But
no human being ever gets into such
a fever over either as to cook him.
self to death. This the bees really do.
The dominant, al~l-consuming de-
sire Of the worker bee is to work. It
follows out this impulse until It dies.
A bee will literally work itself to
death. That, in fact. is how al of
them die except those who are de-
tstroyed by disease or accident. The
bees and the ants are the most highly
specialized creatures in the world.
It appears now that this highly
specialized breeding of individuals
with a single dominant idea only is
attended by dangers that carry their
lessons to man.

rHE COMING BACK OF AUTHORS.

Kipaang say that to the best of his
knowledge, Mulvaney is dead. He has
no idea that tho famous soldier and
philosopher can be revived nor does
he intend to undertake the task. This
wa his reply to a friend who ex.
pressed a desire for more Of the Null
'vaney stories such as those which
helped to make their writer famous.
.Kip1ing expressed q doubt az to the
ability Of an author to recreate a
character, or tt reanimate him when
nee the thought that had called him
into being had been worked out and
the character had performed his
work.
The opinion of such a. man as Kip
ling on the subject in which he Is
mostmost skilled merits attention. But
we have something more weighty
than the mere opinion Of an author,
no matter how great, on tho ability
Of a writer TO bring back his charac-
ters when once he has finished with
them. This is the sad experience of
the authors who have attempted 1t.
Conan Doyle wrote brilliantly Of sher-
Jock Holmes when the subject and his
thought on It were fresh. and when
the work had been rounded out he
killed Off his character In an appro-
pirate way, and the whole world re-
mained for years q finished work of
art. Then, in IN unguarded moment,
DR.. Doyle dug up the skeleton and I'M
dertook to reclothe It with flesh and
breathe into It again the breath of
life. but the result was a mummy sad
y unlike the original. Rider fIaggard
wrote q series Of stories quite unique,
and masterpieces Of their kind, and
tho same characters moved through
them naturally and human like. Then
the series ended because the work
had been rounded out, the thought
completed. the finishing touches put
TO tho picture. Later Doyle tried to
bring hack ths wonderful "she," but
the spell was over, and the spirit of
the thing could not be recalled.
