Bees Intelligence overrated.

The intelligence Of the honey bee
has been greatly overrated, according
to Everett Il. Phillips, who is the
government expert on bee culture.
He says that this insect really has no
adaptability ut all, but wonderfully
perfected instinct. Success in bee
keeping. therefore, depends upon study
ing the bee and giving it exactly what
its imperious instincts require. For
example, the space between the wall of
q hive and the comb in which the
honey is to be placed must be exactly
a quarter of an inch. If it is more
the bees will store honey in the space,
and If it is less they will seal it closed.
In either case the hive must be broken
open to get the honey.

5000 VOLUMES IN ONE WORK.
Encyclopedia Of the Literature Of
China, Covering 20 Centuries, 10
Remarkable Production.

The Chinese department of the Brit
ish museum library contains a single
work which occupies no fewer than
5000 volumes. This wonderful pro-
duction of the Chinese press was pur-
chased some years ago for $500, and
Is one of only very small number Of
copies now in existence.
1t is an encyclopedia Of the lttera-
ture of China, covering period Of %
centuries. 1t owes it's origin to the
literary procllvities of the Emperor
kang-he, who reigned from 1862 till
1922. In the course of his studies of
the ancient literature of his country
kang-he discovered that extensive cor
ruptions had been allowed to creep in
to the modern editions, and conceived
the idea Of having the text of the Or
iginals reproduced and preserved in
an authorized form.
This was a mighty conception, truly,
and in the execution it remains unique
down to the present time. For the
purpose Of carrying out the work,
kang-he appointed commission of
learned men to select and collate the
writings to be reproduced, and en-
ployed the Jesuit missionaries to cast
copper types with which to execute
the printing. The commission was oc-
cupied for 40 years in it's great task.
Before the work was completed
kang-he died, but he had provided that
his successor should see the book COM
plcted, and he faithfully carried out
his trust. The book is arranged in
six divisions, each dealing with par
ticular branch of knowledge.

Al, Must Assist In Task.

The gift TO the army Of the choicest.
the most generous, the most deserv-
ing Of Its young men Is made by the
nation with most tender and loving
thoughts. Every man who does not
qualify as part Of this infinitely
precious gift, every woman and every
growing boy and girl should now re-
solve to assist in every possible way
In the great and enormously complex
task Of making war effectively. With
their help peace with justice may soon
reward the struggles and sacrifices Of
the men who are preparing for battle.

Bohemia Favored by Nature.

Nature has favored Bohemia per-
haps more than any other part of Eu-
rope. Its soil is so fertile and climate
SO favorable that more than half Of
the country is cultivated and produces
richly. In its mountains almost ev-
cry useful metal and mineral, except
salt, is to be found. 1t is the geo.
graphical center of the European con.
tinent, equally distant from the Bal
tic, Adriatic and North seas, and though
inclosed by mountains, is so easily ac-
cessible because Of the valleys of the
Danube and Elbe rivers, that it served
as the avenue of many armies.

war COSTLY NOW
Artillery Expense Of Modern Army
Corps s820,000 a Day.
Outlay in Gun Metal and Powder IA
Heavy and Vast Amount Of Ma.
terial Is Required for
the Trenches.

When it is remembered that there
are today under arms more than a.
100000 soldiers in the European war,
the immensely Of the task of keeping
them supplied with the munitions
with which they wage war will ap-
pear. 1t has been estimated that it
costs approximately 500 to outfit a
soldier. OF this $50 goes for a gun
and $50 for his 1000 rounds of car
tridges. The average life of uniform
under modern service conditions is
very short; that of the ordinary rifle
is six months. In all of the history
of war there never has been such q
rapid exhaustion of all Of the matcri-
ais with which it is made. says the Ma.
tional Geographic Society Bulletin.
A 75-centimeter gun can fire about
400 projectilcs a day. Each of these
projectiles costs approximately Sc.
Counting this and the depreciation Of
the gun, which is particularly rapid,
the daily outlay for it's operation
amounts to 5000. 1t is estimated that
the 100 75-ccntimeter cannon in an
army corps, fired all day, cost in mu-
nitions and depreciation 100000. In
addition to this, each army corps has
about forty pieces Of heavy artillery.
Explosives and depreciation for a sim
gle days work for them totals $780,
600, making the total artillery expense
Of an army corps $4,000 a day.
If the outlay in gun metal and pow
der is heavy, it is no more so than the
outlay for materials demanded by the
present necessities of trench warfare.
An officer who has studied this phase
of the present war carefully says that
to put trench in state fit for Occu-
patton in winter requires 1,25O,00O
running feet of 3 by timber, $4,000
running feet of corrugated iron, $780,
600 sandbags weighing 1000 tons and
24,O0O standards and pickets to the
mile. In addition to this, 900 miles
of barhed wire has to be used, weigh
ing 40 tons. When one stops to re-
call the hundreds of miles Of trenches
which stretch across Europe in diff.
ferent directions and how often Sec
tons of these trenches have to be re.
built, he can gain some idea of the
tremendous amount of material re-
CURED in their Quitting.
Another picture of the vastness Of
the munitioning trade and the i'm
mensity of the task of keeping the
armies in the field and in fighting con-
dition may he had from the statement
that there are now more than 1900 con-
trolled munition plants in Great Brit
ain alone. OF these 10 out of 20 new
er produced war materials before the
war broke out. They employ nearly
100000 men and nearly 100000 wonl-
en-. The vastness of the industry in
England is not out of proportion to
that in France. Although Germany
holds 20 per cent OF Frances coal and
some So per cent of its iron, France
has been able, by the opening up of
new furnaces and by immense impor-
tations Of ore and pig metal, largely
to overcome this handicap.

BRANDED As myth
Mother Never Really Carried
Market Basket, It Is Declared.
Even Before Days Of Telephone
Housewife Seldom Went to the
Grocery or the Butcher Shop.

A voice Of protest rises in the East.
There, as elsewhere, sundry lecturers
have been talking to women's clubs
about the high cost of living. Said
one Of them:
Housewives cou]ds1cducc the cost
Of food if they would market in per-
son. Too m;,ny marlsss by telephone"
This is typical remark.
'Our mothers and our grandmoth-
ers," continued the lecturer, event
personally to the grocer and the
butcher. They saw what they bought.
And they used to carry it home with
them"
The conclusion is obvious, says the
indianapolis News. Our mothers and
our grandmothers, paying these daily
visits to the grocer and butcher, We're
able to buy seasonable products-and
the best of the protucts-at lowest
prices. They made their own selec.
tons; they picked out what they
wanted.
A woman took issue with this state
ment. Others followed. This argu-
ment, they said, has gone umdlsputed
long enough. AS a matter of fact, our
mothers and grandmothers did very
little marketing in person. The tele-
phone in their day was not used, to
be sure. There We're few telephones
to be used. But 30 years ago--and
even in more recent times-the gro
GERS boy called daily, recited some
new items OF stock, logged the pa
irons memory with few questions
regarding the quantity of potatoes,
sugar, flour and salt on hand, took the
customers order and departed. Moth
er saw the goods for the first time
when the grocer's boy, later in the
day, delivered them.
And in grandmother's day, the wom-
en- protesters declared, four-tifths of
the marketing was done by sending
Johnny or Mary to the grocer or the
butcher. And many of us who are
something over thirty and not yet
turned sixty, regardless of sex, can
find without effort, in the depths Of
memory, personal evidence to substan-
ttate this claim. How many times
We're we brought complainingly in
from play to "go to the grocer's?"
And ut the tender age of seven or
eight or nine, did we do much select
Ing when we thus filled the household
order? Very little, as we recall it.
On the contrary, we took what the
grocer gave us and hurried home with
the purchase, making sure both COM
ing and going that we kept safely in
hands or pockets the little brown book
In which the purchase was duly and
carefully recorded by the grocer or
the grocer's clerk.
Times have changed. Johnny and
Mary go seldom nowadays to the gro
Ger or to the butcher or to the baker.
Mother rings them up and delivers her
order by telephone. Butts the Diff
ference very great? Is it sufficiently
great to account for the vast increase
In the cost Of groceries and meats
and bread and rolls? Substituting the
telephone for the grocer boys daily
visit or for marketing with the chill
dren us proxy will hardly seem to
some of us, now that memory 10
aroused, to account for the higher
cost of living.

Worry Often Selfish.

To expect sorrow is to suffer from it
before it arrives, and when it may not
arrive at all; it is like throwing our
gold into the sea because we fancy
that the ship is going down. Perhaps
there may be great trouble awaiting
us next year; shall we destroy the en-.
tire happiness and comfort Of this year
by anticipating it? The dread will not
help us to bear it when it comes. Wor.
ry is a wrong that we do to ourselves,
and it usually makes others suffer
with us. Very often it is absolutely

A salad is q fine dish to prepare
from left overs as fruit, vegetables,
meat, fish or fowl can all be used in q
salad. A few string beans, little
onion juice, corn, tomatoes or celery
with salad dressing will make a good
combination. Any small amounts of
cream may be used as cake filling for

and cakes as we'll as buildings and if
a larger amount is at hand may be

A saucer Of baked beans is not

Just as attractive way as is possible
and it is her work to attend to such
service, but often the overworked
mother finds it necessary to be both
nurse and housekeeper and she also
must know how.
The daintiness Of the tray and it's
accessories as we'll as the food served
Is Of the first Importance. A light tray,
large enough to hold all necessary
equipment and one easily cleaned,
should be chosen. Spotlcss linen, the
prettiest china arranged to look we'll,
adds not little to the invalds pleas
ure. a few flowers or one laid across
the napkin or placed in small vase
Is always a source Of delight to the
eye, or when these are not obtainable
spray Of rose geranium will add to
the beauty Of the service. In case of
contagious diseases, paper plates, cups,
napkins may be purchased and after
ward burned, with the lace paper dol
lies which may be purchased in pack
ages. the beauty Of the tray need not
be entirely sacrificed to satisfy.
After the liquid foods which are
the first foods for the very Ill, comes
the semi-solid foods which are GUS
tards. eggs. jellies, fruits and cereals.
Cereals should be subjected to long,
slow cooking to be safe food for an
invalid or children. Milk toast Is an
other semi.solid food which is usually
enjoyed.
One of the important points to re-
member in serving an invalid is to
have all hot foods hot. and cold foods
cold. Often long trip upstairs will
cool the food. It should be carefully
covered. or placed over hot water. to
reach the patient In good condition.
A combination of fruit with cereal

thing to an invalid. Prunes cooked
