But He Changes His Mind After Trip
to No Mans Land as Volunteer
in Place Of Slain

BY PATRICK MAC GILL.

Daily News.)
London.-The battalion was resting
In a village far behind the trenches
and Fenton, newly out, discovered that
a rest is a period of sweat and hard
labor. Then, the month being May, the
sun shone as only the sur of France
can shine, and of course Fenton roast
ed. He got up in the morning at six
o'clock, brigade time, and formed up
with the other men outside his billet.
These men were generally inclined to
take a gloomy view of things at that
hour, and vowed that brigade time
skipped two hours at night and found
them again when on parade. That was
the beginning of q day which might be
called fairly strenuous, and Fenton,
who was still new to things, wondered
what 1t was all for-since it wasn't
fighting - and whether everybody
worked as hard as he did.
Now, among others who lived in his
billet there were two men, and these
men seemed to labor little. They had

clean, no ammunition to carry. When
other men went out they stopped In
side, and they were in when Fenton
returned from parade. Once when he
was engaged in a mimic attack on a
wood he came across these two men
in company with several others and all
were lying in the shade of the trees
smoking cigarettes and listening TO an
address which the NJ. o. was deliver
ing. Fenton had been hard at work
all morning. His legs were tired, his
shoulders ached, the sweat poured
down his face in tiny r%ivulets. He had
no time to lie in the shade. How he
envied the stretcher bearers!
They Had an Easy Life.
II was Fenton's first spell in the
firing line and the trench in which he
found himself was a comparatively
quiet one, but in bad repair so no end
of work had to be done there. Para
pets had TO be built, saps had to be
strengthened. wire entanglements had
to be laid, and so on. In addition to
tasks like these, there were ration
fatigues, water fatigues, and fatigues
for carrying up ammunition and Fen
ton was a good. willing worker, and
while he labored he watched the two
stretcher bearers and decided that
they had a very quiet life. One Of them
was a thickset man of medium height
who seemed to be always laughing and
smoking cigarettes. His name was
Rogers.
IAN easy job yours" said Fenton TO
him on the afternoon of the second
day.

HOW THE BEES KEEP WARM
Those Inside the Cluster Which They
Form in Cold Weather Go
Through Vigorous Exercises.

The bee upholds his reputation for
Industry throughout the winter months
as well as during the summer Being
susceptible to cold, the bee must have
some means of supplying warmth.
1t was found by experiment that on
ly the shell Of the cluster made by the
bees in cold weather is compact. This
is formed by one of several layers of
bees all solidly arranged with their
heads inward, their hairs interlacing.
This arrangement is perfect for con
servatiOn Of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift of positions
the bees forming the shell are quiet.
But within the shell strange things are
going on.
1t is here that the heat is generated.
And the antics are not unlike our w
when we are cold.
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so hat there is plenty Of
space for many bees to be exercising
at a time. Rapid tanning Of the wings,
shaking the body from side to side,
rapid breathing and other movements
are all part of the scheme for raising
the temperature.
In one particular instance, when a
bee had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes,
the thermometer nearest him rose half
a degree, Fahrenheit.
