BEES FOR WAR MESSENGERS
Their Employment Is Said to Have Gone Far Beyond the Range
 of Probability.

A secret long cherished in the Brit ish war department has just been dis covered-the use of bees as messen- gers.
 No longer will the aide de camp spur his staggering horse through shot and shell to carry the message to the front. Instead he will don his gloves and mask, and, going to the portable beehive back of headquarters, seize one of the faithful little insects, and send the well-trained messenger through the air.
 Whoever possesses a receiving outfit can read the secrets of the wireless 1; one can cut the wires of the ordinary telegraph, and the pigeon does not al- ways escape the bullet.
 Therefore, other means have been sought. In America, the general staff dreams of using as a dispatch bearer the bee.
 The bee, like the carrier pigeon, guided by it's marvellous instinct, re- turns to the hive from wherever he may be liberated. Tiny dispatches, which can be deciphered with the mag nifying glass, can be attached to it's breast.
 But something better still has been found. By an ingenious process the wings of the tiny insect are sensitized, and by means of microscopic photog- raphy the message is imprinted there on.
