work for a living; all it does is to let the water
bring food to it But it has lost a great deal
through this characteristic. It has lost sensi-
tveness, which is always the penalty of settling
down to live without a struggle.
Ducks are remarkably cooperative, and so are
pelicans. Often a flock of pelicans will swim
far out, form a semfcircle and then swim toward
shore, driving the fish before them until they get
them into a convenient cove, where they deVOur
them at will
But the most complete communal life is that
OF ants. They make other ants serve as slaves.
Some of them have developed into door-tenders.
They have hard heads, with which they plug up
entrances. Friendly ants announce their pres
ence by stroking the heads in a peculiar way,
giving the password, as it were, and then are
admitted. These ants even raise type of mush-
room on which they live.
The "sanguinary ants are what Prof wheeler
calls the ''facutative slave-workers." Here,
also, we find gradations in the extent to which
evolution has operated to produce greater or less
dependence of owners on slaves for the dis
charge of the duties Of the nest.
For instance. in the case OF FOrnicG Sdn-
GuiHed. a typical Shareholder Of Europe, we
may ind the ants living both in independent
slaveless colonies and in nests where the ser
vice is save-discharged

And many ant communities are pestered By
hoboes. About 1900 varieties Of parasites which
prey upon ant communities have been found
panhandling ants which make their living like
human "bums" by begging or stealing food from
their honest, hard-wOTking brothers.
But ants will pay the penalty Of this co-opera-
ton. Such condition means high specialization,
each ant learning to do only one thing becoming
in truth a piece-worker. Some little change in
their environment would force a great many to
drop out. Their usefulness would be ended
The horse is another example of too much
specialization. It has specialized too highly on
speed
The worst thing that an animal can do is to
be too successful, because if the conditions
under which he lives change he suffers extermi-

success is attained by keeping the power to

looking around for snap, but principally by not

NLANTS and animals are a good deal like
human beings. Some are ambitious,
some are indolent. Some attain prosper
ity, some remain miserably poor. Some profit
by prosperity, others are spoiled by it. Some
are rankly individualistic, others so strongly
socialistic that they weaken themselves and their
race.
Nothing is more successful than the fly says
Professor A. S. Pearce, of the University of Wis
consin. ct is impossible to exterminate him
He adapts himself so remarkably to changing
conditions that if he were wiped out, say. in the
United States, he would find breeding spot IN
some remote part of South America, where even
Roosevelt has not penetrated"
The bee, too, is a remarkable creature, but
likely to be the victim Of specialization. The fly
can live on anything, but the bee lives only on
honey. The bee is on the road to destruction
because it has so limited its food, and if the sup
ply Of honey should be destroyed it would die.
Often when flowers over a large area have been
killed by frost or drought swarms of bees have
been found dead.
The dandeion is a progressive. It is always
up to some new wrinkle to preserve Itself. It
has lately developed a faculty for growing with

attributed to her Irish descent. Her
mother was a Miss Fitz Patrick and came
Of an old Irish family.
Experience proves that whatever friend
ship the Kaiser may have shown for the
English Princess in the past, it can be Of
little service to her now. The closest
personal relationships between rulers and
citizens Of the warning countries are ut
terly annihilated. The Kaiser is fighting
against the country Of his mother and the
country which his grandmother ruled Yet
according to all accounts he is more bit
ter against England than anybody in Ger
many.
The Princess of PIess is in the most
cruel position of all those whose private
relationships have been disrupted by the
war. Members of royal families placed in
a corresponding position are supported
by the tradition that requires them to be
faithful to the country where they marry
or take up their residence. It is essential
to their existence that they should stick
to this tradition. The Queen of the Bel
gians braveIy stayed at her place while
the German armies, one Of them com
manded by her brother, the Crown Prince
Of Bavaria, attacked Belgium, her adopted
country.
With private persons it is different. The
Prince Of Pless is not a member Of
reigning family, and his wife is virtually
a private person. Technically, a woman
becomes a citizen Of her husbands coun-
trv br1+ M o0e suDposas on that account
that she will lose all affection for her
native country. Americans do not sup
pose that the many American women
married in England will be Indifferent to
the fate of their native land.
Similarly, the Princess of Pless must
feel a flial sympathy for England, and this
is regarded as a crime by the warning
nation that surrounds heri

him. The Kaiser
once sent the Prince
on a mission to New
York His Majesty
has performed some
Of his most awful
slaughters Of deer
and other game on
the Princes estates.
The Prince and
Princess have three
sons, for one of whom
the Kaiser acted as
go d f a t h er. Hi s
Majesty has always
expressed the great
est admiration for
the-Princess. He once
said that she was the
most perfect type Of
English beauty. She

noblemen, but soon gave up army life to
take charge Of his immense estates. As all
the German reserves have been called out
and there is a great need Of officers, it is
believed he must have been called into
active service, although no news has been
received from him.
The Prince owns about 10000 acres and
is one Of the richest men in Germany. In
addition to the castle mentioned he owns
the castle of Pless and about six other
castles and country estates. He has
great hunting estate at PromOnity in Up
per Sflesia and a palace in Berlin.
He is an intimate personal friend Of the
Kaiser, who has confded many secrets to

surrounding it. All the men are or nave
been soldiers IN the German army. They
must look on the Princess as an enemy
and an English spy.
Every step she takes is watched by
these excited patriots. Every letter she
writes must be intrusted to one of them,
and It Is presumed that it is taken prompt
Iy to an army officer for examination.
Every word she utters is reported. She
never goes out without being followed by
these spies and it is believed that she
would not be allowed to go beyond the
boundaries Of her own estate if she
tried to-
An English lady's maid in the employ
of the Princess has sent many of the par
ticulars concerning their treatment to her
sister, who is employed in the West family.
Some Of the English newspapers show
ing members Of the Princess English
family taking an heroic part in the war
have reached Furtensteil and have
caused the greatest excitement among the
ignorant peasantry. They imagine that
the Princess brother is taking advantage
o. his knowledge Of Germany to assist the
English in various underhand ways and
that she is supplying him with informa-
ton.
One Of the English newspapers shows
the Princess's English brother-in-law, the
Duke Of Westminster, scattering about a
hundred German cavalrymen single-hand-
ed. This has naturally aroused great in
dignatiOn among the German servants and
peasants.

everybody looked so well, because

seemed to stretch the beautiful

there was no crowding. The
summer dining room on the en-
closed back gallery was a Wild

posies. And the refreshments
were what they were intended
to be very refreshing. Miss Ello

were skillfully and gracefully
served by Celeste Dimitry,
