H0NEY-HUNTING BEES
NOW REGISTER AS THEY
BID HIVES "AU REVOIR''

The chap who measured the
thickness Of gnat's wing hasn't
done anything more wonderful
than scientists of the bureau of
entomology, who have recently
perfected q machine for counting
bees.
The device. which Is the inven-
tion Of one OF the members of that
bureau. consists Of a gate to be
placed at the entrance to q bee
hive, with a series of telephone
message registers attached in such
q way that every time a bee goes
through the gate its passage IL re-
corded. The device Is operated by
electricity.
AS about 100000 bees go out dur
ing the day on honey-gathering
expeditions, considerable electrical
energy Is needed to operate the
recording gate. although the
amount of energy expended by the
device each time a bee passes is
infinitesimal.
