BEES KNOWLEDGE OF TIME
Experiments Seem to Prove Them En-
dowed With Intelligence Almost
Beyond Belief.
CHARLES NJ. PIPKIN.
Market Correspondent

Bees, said to be the most Intelligent
Of insects. have Il remarkable knowl-
edge of time. says the Philadelphia
Record. Professor Conl.lin of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Is of the opin-
ion that bees also have a powerful
memory. which is the reason, he as
serts, that a bee flying half a mile
away from Its hive returns safely TO its
shelter. II observes closely the land
marks passed on the outward journey.
An owner of several hives of bees.
noting the diligence they observed in
their work, was induced to investigate
IL time could be accurately gauged by
his swarms. For several weeks he had
his meals on the terrace of his house,
breakfast being served promptly at
seven O'Clock, when preserves were
used as a light repast.
Most of the contents of the table
were allowed to remain until lunch
con, at 10 Il. IN. At noon the mid
day meal was served, but without
sweets. At p. m. there was light
lunch, with sweets, which remained
on the table for half an hour or SO.
As a further inducement dish of
stewed cherries was put to cool on n
window nearby, and In few hours the
whole swarm Of bees were sucking the
sweet juice.
This melted the bees to visit the
window regularly. The dish was aft

discovered by one of their number

at the feast, and every day the number

ONLY NEEDS TO BE RoUsED
Under Certain Conditions, Tiger Can
Probably Be Awakened in Each
Individual.

They tell us" said Mr.. Bllnksome,
that we all have II tiger in us, that we
are all of US savages under our skin;
kept from revealing our true natures
only by the restraining force Of Gus

"In n general way have always be
lleved this to be true, and yet l have
always supposed there must be ex-
ceptlons. You take, for instance, n
certain mlld-mannered neighbor Of
ours whom we have known for many
years, man ln all circumstances kind,
gentle, forbearng; seeing good in
everyone and willing to make excuses
for everybody. There was one person
who I knew had no tiger.

TRACED by LaundrY Mark.

Perhaps the most striking instance
ON record in England OF how laundry

every clew. He had persuaded the
woman TO stay at Yarmouth under an
assumed name. lie had also. by suspl-
eious pretenses, got her 10 hide her

he had decoyed her 10 the beach at
dead of night and there strnnrled her

HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS
Alaskan Natives Probably as superstI-
tlous as Any Race on the
Face Of the Earth.

In Alaska the natives have all kinds
Of superstltious beliefs. They believe
that everything has a spirit, and that
these spirits must be respected or else
bad luck will come to them. For In
stance, they must not throw away any
old clothing, nor burn II, for that would
be the same as destroying a part OF
themselves. They must make bundle
of the old clothes and put II on the
branches of a large spruce tree out
side the village. All fish bones are
carefully put away in basket to be
taken out to the middle of a river,
stream or lake and there thrown over
board. This is done so that every
single bone, after It is put back into
the water, will turn into a fish, and
this IS sure to keep up the supply.
When a child is born the father
has to put away all tools that are
made Of iron or steel and is not al-
lowed 90 uar thnm for 20 days. Dur
ing that time lie Is not allowed to 20
outside to do any work or any hunt
Ing. Should he do any Of these things
It would surely cause the death of the
baby. When child dies II is not
buried. but is wrapped In bundle and
placed at the foot of n spruce sapling.
II the tree dies within a year the
spirit OF the child dies also.
when n grown person dies the body
is kept at least three days In the room
I'm which It has died. When the time
for burial comes the body is buried on
hillside or high bank facing the
river. There is the village of departed
spirits on the side facing the river and
on the other side the spirits of the
dogs who have died and who belong to
the people whose spirits are there.
The spirit Of IN old woman takes care
OF these dogs.-Southern Workman.

ASCRlBED TO FALLING STAR
Mystery Crater in Plain of Arizona Is
Thus Explained by biologists
of Prominence.

About forty miles from Flagstaff,
Ariz., In the midst OF great plain.
there Is a saucer-shhped hollow or
crater about three-quarters Of a mile
across and 600 feet deep. The rim
OF the crater rises between $50 and
200 feet above the surrounding plain.
Rocky fragments are scattered about
for several miles around the crater.
Among these rocks many fragments OF
meteoric iron, some containing black
diamonds. have been found. The In
ner walls show that the crust of the
earth was broken when the crater was
formed. yet no volcanic rocks exist
there.
Biologists have offered theories to
account for this phenomenon. One is
that an immense meteorite made the
hole, and that the meteorfc fragments
mentioned are remnants Of the falling
star. Another theory ascribes the
origin of the crater to tremendous
explosion OF steam in the rocks be
meath. and a third combines the first
two by suggesting that the blow Of a
falling meteor, striking the earth's
crust at point where subterranean
water had accumulated in the neigh
borhood of heated rocks was the cause
of the explosion.

A result or experiments in French
