NO COUNTERFEIT FOR PlGSNlN
One Who Knows Can Always Tell, Al
most at a Glance, if Hide Is
Genuine or Not.

Probably you have some time or
other in Your life bought Il pair Of
pigskln leggings or putties. How do
you know they are pgskin? As a
matter of fact there is no leather in
the world just like pie kin in wearing
quality. A saddle, a ister or pair
of putties made Of this homely nnlte-
rial viii come pretty near proving In
destructihle.
There is one easy way byNvhlch You
can always tell pigskin. Examine it
closely and you will lind that the lit
tie black spots on the outside OF the
hide are always located in groups of
three. The whole surface will look
speckled, but these speeks will be there
in groups Of three, always and with
out fail, in any hide ence worn by "a
porker.
Another part of the test is TO look
at the grain side of the hide. You will
find here that there are holes all the
way through. As Il matter of fact the
bristles of the hog grow entirely
through the skin, and are nourished
not by the skin itself but by the fatty
tissues of the animal.

BEES WORK TO KEEP WARM
Another Example Of the Remarkable
Intelligence Displayed by the Lit
tie Caterers Of Honey.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as during the summer, Being Suscept-
lble to cold, the bee must have some
means Of supplying warmth.
1t was found by experiment that
only the shell of the cluster made by
the bees in cold weather Is compact
This is formed by one OF several lay
ers Of bees all solidly arranged with
their heads inward their hairs inter
lacing.
This arrangement is perfect for con-
seryation 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 so
ing on.
II is here that the heat is gem
Grated And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there Is plenty of
space for many bees to be exercising
at time. Rapid flaming Of the wings,
shaking the body from side 10 side,
rapid breathing and other movements
are all parts of the scheme for rails
\ ing the temperature,
In one particular instance when n
bee had been rsipidly tanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes the
thermometer nearest him registered
90 degrees Fahrenheit.
