For Its Size, Sting of
Bee Is Most Effective
Internal Machine Known

In proportion to its size, the sting Of
the honeybee is probably the most eff
fectiye Internal machine in existence,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
The singing apparatus is smaller than
that OF a rattlesnake, yet single sting
has been known to kill a man. When
we realize that it is almost invisible,
and consider what 1t can do, we cannot
fail to be astounded. 1t seems the
very quintessence of devilishness.
The honeybee's sting is complicated
so complicated that many words and
much ink have been used in discussing
its construction and use. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the sting consists
of three parts, the principal one being
a sheath within which move two barb
ed lancets. Like the barbs of fish
hook, the lancets are not easily ex-
tracted from the flesh into which they
have been driven. The sheath and the
lancets combined form hollow tube
through which the poison flows from
the poison sac. Two hairy, soft pro-
jections, evidently very sensitive, in
form the bee when she Is in contact
with stingable object.

Red Men of The Western
World Had z Universal
Language Centuries Ago

4 white man who visits a foreign
nation finds 1t hard and sometimes inn
possible to make his most ordinary
wants known. The red man has no
such difficulty; the problem of uni
yersal language was solved centuries
ago by the savage inhabitants of this
western world.
Should an Indian from northern
Alaska go to Patagonia, he could by
means of this universal language con-
verse with his southern brethren al
most as easily as he could with his
neighbors at home. That would also
be the case If he visited Central Amer
lea or met the tribesmen of our own
western pralries and mountains.
When this language was invented no
one knows. but every Indian learns 1t
In addition TO his own. Recently two
chiefs of different tribes met in the
geographical society rooms in Washing
ton and held a conversation that last
ed nearly three hours, and yet neither
one knew word of the others Ian
guage.
This universal language Is. of course,
made up of signs. For example, II an
Indian Is passing through a strange
country aud sees other Indians at a
distance. he makes the ''peace sign
that Is. he holds up his blanket by
two corners so that 1t covers his whole
figure. The same thought Is ex-
pressed by extending the hands, palms
outward, slightly inclined from the
face. Any Indian would understand
either one Of these signs.
Then there are the abstract signs by
which the '.sayages" can express their
thoughts With regard 10 the great splr-
II. heaven, good. evil. life and death,
sickness. health. riches and poverty.
Life Is expressed by drawing an mag
mary thread from the mouth and death
by ehopplng this thread of. Another
sign Of death Is 10 hold the tips Of
the fingers OF one hand against the
palm Of the other and let them grad
unlly slip downward and at last drop
beneath the palm. - Youths Com

YOUR MAIL
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON,
Commissioner of Health of Pennsy.

vania.
Do you read your morning mail at
the breakfast table? Have you ever
used knife or fork to openeyour let
tiers? 1t Is not an uncommon practice,
and yet an uncleanly and dangerous
one.
The post office Is essentially a public
utility, and it Is universally used by
all classes of people. A common point
of destination may put my lady's
dainty note beside dirty scrawl from
the yilest of slums.
Millions of pieces of mail matter are
handled. A certain number of these
come from people who are suffering
from all kinds of diseases, some Of
them loathsome and infectious.
Stamps and envelopes, contrary to
hygienic rules are for convenience
sake, frequently licked. Despite quar-
antine precautions, mail sometimes
comes from houses where cases of
communicable diseases exist which
have not been reported.
Mail bags are not subjected to regu-
lar disinfection, and are not so cleansed
as to make them safe from the danger
of becoming a factor In the transmits
sion of disease.
During the recent epidemic of in
fantile paralysis, many of those work
Ing on the disease, formed the opin-
ion that it may be carried by third
person. Is 1t unreasonable TO pre-
sumo that the disease may be carried
through the mail?

PAPER YARN IS USED
FOR CLOTH IN GERMANY

AMSTERDAM, Nov. THE en-
ployment OF paper yarn in all direc-
lions in Germany has made enormous
progress during the past year Cloths
and fabrics made entirely of paper
yarn are now widely used. The base
of these is simple one-colored
paper yarn used in exactly the same
way as jute, prisoners camps are now
supplied with mattresses and even
pillows in which the covering Is made
OF this fabric. In fact, paper weaV-
ing has made such strides that twllis
are produced, and the time is not far
distant when it will be possible TO
obtain excellent grades of worsted
made of paper, and already the first
patterns of such fabrics are being eX-
hibited
Ready-made clothing is at present
confined to the most part to special
workmen's clothing. Entire suits of
this are exhibited, as we'll as aprons,
overalls, and Office coats. The price
of paper fabrics varies between %
cents and $1.00 a yard. Ready,-made
workmens aprons and overalls are
sold at six dollars a dozen For en-
tire suits the price is about SIS.
The paper clothing is not, hoewver
entirely confined to workmen's cloth
ing. A beginning has made in sup
plying garments for women and chill
dren. For children there is a wide
variety of paper garments available.
For women, the offerings are thus
far confined to underclothing.
