ANSWERS TO PREVIOUS
QUESTIONS

l. Are turtles afraid?
The land turtle or terrapin, shows
scarcely trace of fear. He will, in
deed, pause in his walk when you are
very near him, but he will not re-
treat into his shell till you have poked
him with your foot or cane. He ap-
pears to have no enemies; but the
little spotted water turtle is as shy as
il he were the delicate tidbit that
every creature Is searching for.
?. Will zigzagginE help a bird to es-
cape from a hawk?
A hawk will pursue a sparrow or a
robin through a zigzAg course and
not lose stroke or half a stroke OF
the wing by reason OF any darting
to the right or left. The clew Is
held with fatal precision. No matter
how quickly nor how often the spar
row or the finch changes it's course, its
enemy changes simultaneously. as il
every move was known to it from the
first.
g. What is a good antidote for bee
sting
In reaching your hand into a cavity
to detach and remove the comb you
are pretty sure to get stung, for when
you touch the business end" of bee,
It will sting even though its head be
off But the bee carries the antidote
to its own poison. The best remedy
Tor been sting is honey, and when
your hands are besmeared with honey
as they are sure to be on such oc-
casions, the wound is scarcely more
painful than the prick of a pin,
