Recognition Among Bees.

Naturalists for long time were at
loss TO understand how it was that
insects were enabled to so quickly
recognize an intruder among their
family or settlement. 1t has been de-
termined that in most cases they rec
ognize each other by smell. Among
the bees each distinctive class of work
ers--the guard, the tanner, the pollen
carrier, the waxmaker. the architect,
it's own distinctive odor. And
besides each bee has its own separate
hive odor, which it it's passport into
Its own particular home.

pertaining solely to school matters. If
any law referred to the people per-
tanned solely to school matters. it is
probable that women possessing the
other qualifications prescribed by the
constitution for electors might have
the right to vote on such law; but not
otherwise.
Sec. 121 of the constitution limits
the right of suffrage to male persons,
except insofar as Sec.-12S Of the con-
stitution gives to women a limited
elective franchise. {
provides in substance that tho women
prescribed by the constitution shall
electors, county surveyors, county
constables and officers of cities, viii
lagos and townships, except police
magistrates. and city justices of the
peace, and on all questions or propo-
sitions submitted to the votes of the
electors of such municipalities or
other political divisions Of this state.
I'm the case of Spatchen VS.. O'Neil
the supreme court of North Dakota
held that by the provisions of Sec. $50
of the constitution. the legislature was
authorized to prescribe the qualiica-
tions of electors in municipal cleo
tions, and for certain municipal Off
GERS designated in THE act just men,
toned, but the court expressed no
opinion as to the other provisions of
the act. and this decision would GER
tafnly be no authority for the propo-
sition that might vote upon
laws referred to the people,"
