MATCHING OF BEES.
Their Method Of Escape From the Wax
Cells of the Hive.

Their Method Of Escape From the Wax
Cells of the Hive.
1t Is interesting to watch young
bees In the act of Matching out from
the cells of the hive. The wax cap
ping which confines them is thin, but
it is quite strong enough to give the
tender young bee good deal Of trou.
BILE in nibbling it through.
At first one can only see a part of
the insects head through small hole
it has made. 1t gradually nibbles
away the wax till the hole is big
enough for the entire head to get
through, but ere this stage is reached
the young bee has been assisted in its
efforts by several of the older bees,
who, though no doubt engaged in some
other work, pause on their way and
very considerably nibble away little
Of the Gaping with their stronger
jaws.
Once the head Of the young bee is
out of the cell it has much more pow
er, and. after pulling and twisting
perseveringly, the thorax is gradually
worked free Of its prison. Then the
abdomen slips easily after it. and the
birth Of the bee is accomplished.
When they are free of the cells the
young bees stand for some time pal
pitating and apparently getting their
breath again after their efforts, while
some of the nurse bees gently stroke
them and give them food.-London

NATURE AS A SURGEON.
Some Species Of Trees Amputate Their
Limbs Regularly.

Limbs Regularly.
Nature in many instances is her own
physician, treating her ills without con-
sultation and rendering unto herself
most excellent treatment. Healing al
ways takes place without infection,
and no great strain Is put upon the
tree itself. Her surgery is bloodless
and, so far as we know, painless,
writes David Brock in the Scientific
American.
Take, for instance, some of the pop
lar and willow trees. When the i'm
mediate environment Is not adapted to
the best growth Of twig or branch Of
these trees nature sets up a special
cell formation. corklike growth
which gradually cuts off the nutrition
from the part about to be eliminated.
ed, form close up to the parent limb
or trunk and encircle the part to be
removed with such uniformity that lit
tie more plant tissue is involved than
Is really necessary.
When in the early spring a tree re-
ceives a great amount of nutrition nu-
merous branches are sent out which
later in the summer become shaded
and of no value to the tree. 1t is then
that the process of elimination takes
place. These trees, as rule. do not
lose their branches until late summer.
Jumping Cocoons.
Many visitors to the southwestern
states and Mexico have amused them
selves by watching the queer motions
of jumping beans,' the seed vessels
Of a plant, each of which contain the
pupa of an insect whose spasmodic
movements cause the bean to hop and
roll about.
More remarkable are the jumping
cocoons" found in South Africa. The
cocoon is formed by the mother in
sect and is very hard. The pupa when
ready to emerge must cut it's way out.
The front of its head has sharp,
chisel-like edge, and by driving this
against the inside of the shell it grad
ually makes hole. The violent mo.
tons of the pupa within cause the CO.
to spring out of small glass tumbler.
Wonderful Hand Weaving In Mexico.
The hand woven blankets made by
the Indian girls of Mexico, to whom
a dime day is good wage, although
they begin work at sunrise and labor
until sunset, are the admira ton and
despair Of all who appreciate fine
handiwork or value perfect color COM
binations. A small blanket bought in
Mexico City five years ago, although it
has been used as wall tapestry ever
since. seems as bright in every one
of it's rainbow colors as on the day 1t
was bought. The weaving is so perfect
that it has no right or wrong side.--

did not answer and only flew proudly
away-but the little black bird fol-
lowed al distance. Presently he
saw the eyre again resting.
Il am tired of this mission" said
the eyre as he caught sight of the
black bird. Il mean to stay here for
two days, then 90 home and say
could not find the spring. And he
curled himself up in warm hole for
a long nap.
But the little bird kept on. 1t was
windy. the rain came down. and his
tiny wings began to droop. but he
would not stop. At last he saw the
dark entrance to a cavern and knew
he was at his journeys end,
Il am so black the dragon will not
see me in the dark" he murmured. So
softly he crept in while the three
heads of the dragon snored loudly
Right at the side of the spring was a.
row of bottles all full of the yellow
water and he took one up in his bill
Clip. clip, clip. he went out again. In
a few hours he passed the tree in
which the eyre lay sleeping, and by
dawn he was pecking at Queen
Mab's window.
oH, you udi lihs. eACldilneu lne
queen. who would have thought of
your being brave enough to make the
trip" The fairy father seized the
bottle and drank a few drops-in-
stantly he was perfectly we'll. Just
then in ragged the eyre He had
wakened and seen the bird flying by
with the bottle. And so angry was
he that he flew at it, pushing it from
the table. Fortunately not much was
spilled. for the father caught it be.
fore it struck the floor, but some
drops flew on both the black bird and
on the eyre.
Il am we'll and have my magic pow.
