bloom season as much as fifteen pounds OF
surplus honey of fine quality.
The most favored food for the bee are
the various kinds OF clover. The crimson
clover yields a fine light colored honey.
The best season is April and May. The
other varieties blooming IN May, June
and July. This is at the same time al

The bloom OF asparagus is greatly sought
after by the bee In the months OF June
and July, this Is at the same time al.
falfa is blooming, which is a good honey
producer. The bloom OF parsnips II al
lowed to seed is a favorite with the bee.
Even the bloom of common herb is
utilized, for instance. peppermint
The bee is an extensive and persistent
forager, going from two and a half 20
three miles in search OF food. The range
covers an area Of 10000 to $4,000 acres.
Should but one square foot in 100 pro-
duce honey-bearing plant, they would
have remaining 120 to $50 acres OF pas
turage; however, there may be thirty or
forty acres in bloom close TO their
hive.

Why the Eyes Really =
lg to Do With 1T at All
and Every Emotion Is
Interpreted by Muscles
Don't Have Anything

KIT EsBIA hath a beamlng eye"
sang the poet. 1t is quite
- likely that she had. But If she
did It was because her blood pressure
was at the time abnormally increased,
her circulation too rapid and what she
needed was not verses but a sedative
There has been a great deal written
about expression in eyes. Pretty nearly
every adjective in the language fits eyes,
and the constant search of the modern
poet is for one that hasn't yet been used
as a spectacle lens. Thus we have the
sparkling eye. the fiery eye, the gentle
eye flashing, cruel, cold, warm and
dancing eye-even the glad eye.
Science, practical and unpoetical, now
explains that there isn't any expression
in the eye at all worth speaking Of
Colors, sizes, degrees of clearness, yes
but expression, no. 1t is all a matter of
muscles. A pigs eye could beam as
nicely as Lesbia's, given the same tempo
rary heart action, and could be as melan-
choly as Manfred's with the same set OF
muscles, aided by the musculattve OF
the face.
Richelieu had an "emotionless, cold
stare" which awakened fear In those
who offended him. Nicholas /. Of Russia,
although possessing the beautiful Roman
off eyes, could look with such a curl
ously dead cold stare on suspected per-
sons that, If guilty, they invariably con-
fessed.' Runieet Singh, "the lion OF
Lahore" insignificant physically, his
face scanned by smallpox and having
only one eye, could use that zone with
terrible effectiveness In dominating
men," Caesar Borgia had eyes which
CLEANED like fire." and to those OF
Kitchener have been ascribed various
extraordinary powers.
All this seems to place eyes as the
prime indicators, voluntary or invOlun-
tary. of emotions. Yet the same char
acteristics are almost as forcibly ex-
pressed in statuary, whether the model
ling represents a face purely imaginary
or one of a real parsonage. Caligula,
Venus, Socrates, Byron, Napoleon, Sid
dons, Lincoln, Davy, Voltaire, Gladstone,
Gainsborough all look" from orbits per-
fectly void or on which there is simply
a circle and a dot, yet all of expression
is there. Yet wrath, learning, placidity,
cruelty are all amply portrayed by
muscles, particularly those of the fore
head and mouth, without any aid from
the eyes.
Sir Lauder Brunton, the great Lon
don doctor, declares expression to de-
pend chiefly upon the setting of the
eyes and not upon the eyeball itself. He
tells that he illustrated this by pictures
In one he had a Madonna, In another
figure of Anger, from LavateTs "Physiog-
nomy." He had, besides, pupil and

rowed his eyes" or His eyes expanded"
Is this change voluntary or involuntary?
Dilation OF pupil is associated with
several emotions. In sudden astonish-
ment or alarm the whole system is para
lyzed and the pupils fixed and dilated:
on the other hand, when the whole body
Is reused into action the pupils become
contracted, although sometimes, owing
TO the mouth and contracted forehead,
the eyes appear wrathful without any
contraction OF pupil Harvey, discov.
erer OF blood circulation, writing In 1928,
says: I'm anger the eyes are fiery and
the pupils contracted"
When the mind is under the influence
OF fear the energies are diverted from
the eyes and the pupils dilate on ac-
count or the reduced sensitiveness OF
the retina. In anger. sight being pow
eTfully called into action, the sensitive
ness OF the retlna is increased and the
pupil automatically contracts, so, II may
be usually expected that. during those
emotions IN which the eyes are called
into action the pupils will be small, and
when nervous energy is directed away
from the eyes TO other centres the pupils
will be large. The voluntary muscles
are paralyzed and the eyes stare hxedly
