BEES HAVE HEATING METHOD
Work of Intelligent Insects Keeps

able in Winter Weather.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as well as during the summer. Being
susceptible to cold. the bee must turn
to his colony for warmth. Commu-
nism, which in bees is SO highly devel'
oped in the storing OF food and caring
for the young is also the basis for the
heating system. 1t was found by e1'
pertinent that only the shell is coin

eral layers of bees all solidly arranged
with their heads inward. their hairs
feet for conservation of the heat with
in. Except for an occasional shifting
OF position the bees forming the shell
are quiet. But within the shell strange
things are going on.
1t is here that the heat is gener-
ated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold. The bees
are packed loosely within the shell 30
that there is plenty of space for many
bees to be exercising at time. Rap
i'd tanning OF the wings. shaking the
body from side to side. rapid breath
ing. and other movements are all part
of the scheme for raising the tempera-
ture. In one particular instance. when
bee had been rapidly tanning with
his wings for seven and a half min
utes, the Thermometer nearest him
rose half degree Fahrenheit.

He spurred up nightly that special

Foretold by OIL.

Among the Kherrias OF India there
is a very curious marriage ceremony.
Taking a portion of the hair OF the
bride and bridegroom in turn from the
center Of the forehead the priest
draws 1t down on to the bridge OF the
nose. Then, pouring oil on the head.
he watches 1t carefully as 1t trickles
down the portion OF hair. II the oil
runs straight on to the tip of their
nose their future will be fortunate.
but il it spreads over the forehead
or trickles on ON either side of the
nose, III luck is sure to follow. Their
fortunes told generally to their own
satisfaction. the final part of the cere-
mony takes place. Standing up side
