Bees Do Great Work

According to the current issue of
Farm and Fireside those who think
the bee a trespasser when he comes
after honey should think again.
Following is an extract from an ac-
count of what bees do for farms, es-
pecially fruit farms: "Albert Reep
the great New Jersey orchardlst.
has said, I'D as soon think OF man
aging this orchard without a sim
gle spray pump as without bees
Bees are the chief agent for fertil.
izing the blossoms Of fruit trees
and if the orchardist doesn't keep
bees it is fine. thing for him that
his neighbors do. E. R. Root of the
Ohio State College speaks in re-
cent bulletin-No. B; send and gel
it-of the experience Of Van Rem
selaer & Southam, who leased al
old barren orchard near Cleveland
and made it bear 10000 bushels IL
1913. Theydo not think it possible
to grow fruit to advantage withou
bees. If we could have twice a:
many humble bees in our clover
fields we should undoubtedly har
vest betters crops of seed. Every
bee in sweet-clover or alfalfa
field is money in the bank for thu
seed-grower.

the water trickles through the volcanic
rook from the Deschutes River, which
takes remarkably winding course at an
elevation much higher than that of the
cave.
But even more remarkable is it that
ice should be guarried on the sides OF the
famous Sicilian volcano, Mount Aetna.
Were the Sicilians little more energetic
no doubt Messina would have been sup
piled before the earthquake razed it with
all the ice it needed by ''Mount Aetna
Ice Quarrying co., and beautiful Toar-
nina would not have to rely on Sweden
and Norway for its supply.
As it is the industry is carried on in
desultory manner. Aetna is 10,S40 feet
hi igh and during the winter is snowcapped.
Whenever an eruption occurs the frag-
ments of rock and ashes thrown out of
the crater spread over the snow, which is
compressed by the weight and so forms
ice. Just as sawdust used in icehouses
protects the ice, so does the dust from
the volcano form non-conductor of heat
for the compressed snow on Mount Aetna.
These deposits of ice have been form
ing for untold centuries and now and
then they are exposed through an earth
quake or the sliding down of mass OF
volcanic matter. On these occasions if
the labor is not too great the lazy Sicil-
ian will pick out few blocks of ice and
sell them to Catania or Taormina.

SCHOOL PUPILS
GUESTS AT FAIR
Special Day Named By Au.
thorities

With the approach Of spring
comes the closing of the rural
schools and the scattering OF not
only the pupils but the teachers.
Early in the year the Delaware
State Fair Association sent to all
the schools in the State, letters ask
ing for the number of pupils and
teachers in each school. The Fair
Association hopes to have as many
of the children Of the State as we'll
as teachers for their guests on Tues
day, September s, and IN order to
insure the timely delivery OF these
tickets it was necessary to COM
mence the work Of the distribution
very early.
State Commissioner of Educa-
ton Wagner gave his approval to
the plan of the Fair Association
and the responses have all been at
tended to as promptly as they were
received. The secretary Of the Fan
Association, however, regrets thal
many of the teachers have ignored
the letter entirely, failing to return
the post card which was enclosed
and thus cutting the pupils IN thell
school off from the opportunity to
receive the free ticket and also
from the opportunity to compete
either as individuals or as schools
for some Of the valuable prizes
Even now the literature and tick'
cts may be sent out, it IS however
too late to enter for the photo
graphic contest.
If the teachers whose cards have
been received will send their ad
dresses up to August 10, to 5; II
Wilson, Jr., secretary OF the Deia
ware State Fair, Wilmington, nj
will see that their own personal ao
mission ticket is sent to them ar
ect and not to the address OF tnf
school. All Of the teachers tlck
cts will be mailed on August III.

From Files OF Fifty Years Ago

The double track on the P. W. &
B. railroad is now in operation to
Newark, and will probably be COM
pleted to Elkton during next week.
The ordinance permitting the COM
pany to lay down a double track in
certain streets Of Baltimore, has

down the mountain sides. In order to re-
duce the great velocity they would ac-
quire were the chutes straight, curves are
introduced here and there to impede it..
But ice quarrying is not unknown in
this country. Crook county, Oregon, es-
pecially the southern portion, is pretty
far removed from the traditional idea Of
Paradise, although irrigation is recent
years has done something to render it
more habitable. The region is Of volcanic
origin and a great lava bed bounds one
portion of it, from beneath which comes
the sound of rushing waters, but mac
cesible water. In this almost desert re-
gion one can well imagine what godsend
lump of ice would be. And there it is
close at hand and not far from Bend, hid
den away in cave.
The entrance to this cave, which is at
least Is miles from any water, is about
1000 feet above sea level. This entrance
is small. From it you go down decliv-
ity of some so feet, when you reach a
chamber with a floor of ice. From there
you pass through narrow entrance into
an inner chamber which contains an in
exhaustible supply of ice. A block is
quarried out and within three hours the
cavity is filed with water which is soor
turned into solid ice
Biologists are puzzled over an explain
alton of this extraordinary phenomenon
The best offered so far seems to be that

LEAVES END ON YOUR CIGAR
Invention Of Brooklyn, Man That Pos
! sibiy May Add Greatly to Comfort
of Man-Who Smokes. ,iH

7 There is a possibility that before
long the smoker will not have to cut
or bite the end or his cigar, says the
New York Times. A patent has just
been awarded to a Brooklyn man on
a device which inserts close to the
end of the cigar which goes in the
mouth an aluminium spring about q
half inch long. This spring is inserted
dfagonaliJ and the coils are said to
force the. filler tobacco apart SO that
the Cigar draws much better than
when the end is cut of. This spring
is left in the cigar while it is being
smoked. 1t is said to be especially
useful In short filler cigars and to
stop smokers from chewing on them
to get better draft. 1t is contended
that cigars SO equipped are more SAN
itary than others in that it does away
with the need of using public cutters
in the. stores. Neither will the wrap
per show the tendency to unroll that
is common in some cigars after the
end has been removed. The inventor
of the machine claims that it will per
forste and insert springs in 10000
cigars a day and will require only one
operative to do the work. The oorn-
value is said to depend on the
of the smoker to pay a lit
tie more for these cigars to offset the
additional expense incurred by the

Course of tn. Panama Canal.

There is a somewhat popular delu-,
sion :spout the Panama canal-to wit.
that the course from Colon, on the
Caribbean or Atlantic side of the. 18th
mus, to Panama, on the Pacific side, Isl
from east to west. OF course the At
lantic is at the east and the Pacific Isl
at the west, but the isthmus Is very
crooked and at this point tends from a.
little south of west TO north OF east,
and Colon is actually farther west
than Panama. AS a result the canal
runs from north-northwest to south
southeast, and on reaching the Pacific
one finds himself farther east than he
was when he left the Atlantic. Queer,
isn't it, to so westward by going east
ward? But it's geographical fact, .aIl
the same, which few realize until they.
