FLORENCE. May 14.-Prince Ar
sene Karo-Georgevitch, the brother
of the king of Servia, who Is to marry
Mrs. Huger Pratt, a New York woman
who has resided in Paris, has failed
to persuade the mayor OF Florence
to dispense with the necessary for
malities in regard to Mrs. Pratt. He
was equally unsuccessful in his efforts
to obtain action from the American
and Russian consuls. who instead in
sisted that he abide by the law OF
the land.
For that reason Prince Arsene has
decided upon an exclusively religious
marriage, and has arranged for a
private ceremony at the Russian
church. His bride, however. must be-
come orthodox or else the marriage
would be invalid. Until the latter
matter is settled no date for the
marriage can be fixed.

BEES Are
Really HOT

~ VERYONE who has been stung by a bee
r. knows the burning sensation that
- companies the sting.
This is of course due to the acid that is in
jected by the little weapon in the bees tail But
the experience has led to a number of sayings
such as the hot end of the bee" and so on.
II now apears, however. that the bee actu-
ally is hot The fever with which 1t works
sometimes develops into a temperature so
great as to partly cook the honey in the hives.
and to actually bake the busy insects them
selves Bee raisers have only recently found
that this is the reason for the wipiug out of
many OF their colonies instead of as had been
supposed, the presence of some unidentified
bacilli
We speak of people getting into 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 himself to
death. This the bees really;do.
The dominant, all consuming desire OF the
worker bee is to work. 1t follows out this i'm
pulse until it dies. bee will literally work it.
self to death. That in fact is how all of them
die except those who are destroyed by disease
or accident. The bees and the ants are the
most highly specialized creatures in the world
1t appears now that this highly specialized
breeding of individuals with single dominant
idea only is attended by dangers that carry
their lesson to man.
The concentration of energy upon one task
is so great that it keeps the bee busy every
moment satisfying it. Suddenly there comes a
time when the energy outpaces the work Then
up goes the temperature OF the insect and it
burns itself up. In the same way, if its tasks
are impeded the bee worries The I'M
used work energy stores itself mp more and
more hotter and hotter grows the bee until it
dies of its own fever. The extremely curious
thing is that one hot bee can apparently infect
4 whole hive with its temperature and the
community burns itself up.

recrng the mal-assimilation of food and
burning up of the fat already accumulated
by the action of the muscles. Fat is, so to
say, burned up by exercise, the little glob-
ules being melted away by the heat of the
activity of the muscles.
If it were possible to oxidize the fat in our
tissues it would melt away just as it does
when put into frying pan, but exercise is in
dulged in by the stout only at a great expen-
diture of will power
But there is another way, according to this
German scientist in which the oxidation of
the lat can take place, without putting SO
great strain upon the will of the patient 1t
is common experience that the stout person
really requires lighter clothing than the thin
man or woman. But this fact must be, car
ried to its logical conclusion.
The stout person should wear as little
clothing as possible in order that the oxygen
OF the air may act upon the fat through the
pores of the skin, for while oxidation is not
as rapid in this way as it is by the muscles, 1t
is more continuous and does take place, as IS
plain from the hardened fat of the hardy, ex
posed person when compared with the fabby
tat OF the coddled stout man woman who
is always wrapped in heavy garments and
turs. Under the action of the air the fatty
globules lose much of their moisture, and be-
come hard, shrinking somewhat and serving
the purpose for which nature intended the
fatty layers protection of the more delicate
tissues beneath it.
This process of wearing less and less cloth
ing must be adopted gradually, tightening
the clothing little by little so that the system
receive no severe shock. When the minimum
of clothing has at last been reached it viii

without any clothing at ALL at least in mild
weather. This step should be taken by ex
posing the body for short time at hrst, ana
