more than half a century 1t has con-
Quoted a worldwide trade in the
finest muslins, the secret of making,
which originally came from India;
and as a result of that trade the VIII
lage has become famous. Each year,
in honor of Simonet, the founder Of
the mills. the people celebrate the
muslin festival, which calls forth the
liveliest holiday spirit in all of the
inhabitants.
Last year the festival lasted three
days. during which the little city was
truly a city of muslin. Everywhere
houses. balconies and facades all ut
disappeared under the light and col
orful decorations, which were always
pretty and sometimes ingenious.
Above the middle Of the streets were
suspended domes from which long
streamers of muslin were draped in
graceful curves to the second floor

Vehicles Of all kinds were adorned
with fancy muslins and gave the
scene a brilliancy such as bright f1ow-

to operate their stingers. The honey
bee can sting but once and then dies.
In the ordinary hive there are about
$4,000 bees, under the dictatorship of
one queen bee, which deposits the
eggs in all parts of the comb. Usually
about 1000 of these bees are lazy
drones. They are driven from the
hive to perish at the end OF the sum-
mer season. The worker bees are
immature females, while the queen
Is a perfectly developed female. The
queen commonly lays her weight in
eggs daily.
THE honey bee is the champion

Just barely visible to the naked eye.
During the Ave days Immediately sub
sequent to Matching the worker bee
increases 1900 times in weight and
outgrows her skin daily. so that each
morning she has to put on a new
garb. The drone makes even greater
growth. as during the first six days
OF It's existence the average drone bee
increases 1000 times In average av-
oirdupois.
Eighteen OF the leading bee experts
Of the world work for Uncle Sam and
devote all their energy. knowledge
and experience to determining all
possible facts about the "be" in honey
bee. In addition to their expert
mental activities with the govern
ment bees, these scientists annually
examine about 1000 specimens of dis
eased comb and bees sent In to Wash
ington from all parts of the country
by commercial apiarists. The national
identify the diseases and

private apiaries. Experiments are

carried from the honey bee castle.
With Spartan-llke speed the healthy
bees evict all invalid or crippled
associates from the hive. The bodies
of dead bees are carried outside the
hive as soon as they die. The bee
hive is a remarkable illustration OF
the survival of the fittest."
The national spiary consists of
seventy-five hives, each of which
accommodates approximately $4,000
bees. If these bees ran amuck and
escaped from the Somerset neighbor-
hood and spread to all parts Of Wash
ington, there are enough of them to
sting each resident of the District
of Columbia more than eight times.
However. there is no danger of the
buzzing bee army surging over
Washington, because the bee farm Is
surrounded by fence-like growth Of
high trees which act as effectively
as prison walls In confning the bees
to the limits of the federal apiary.
Yes, the government experts get
stung almost daily in handling the
experimental bees. Peculiarly enough,
certain people develop a certain i'm
munity to bee stings after they are
stung about a hundred times. Others
never are protected by such resist
ance. The bee keepers wear net-like
head wells in handling the most dan
gerous hives. Gloves are cumber-
some and seldom worn. Some of the
scientists say that they are stung
one to two times every day.
There is no need ever to attempt
to get the average honey bee to sign
the pledge and promise to refrain
from the use of tobacco for the bees
fear smoke. Apiarists capitalize on
this hatred which the bees have for
smoke by the use of curious smoke
torches with which they blow smoke
into the hives to protect themselves
against stings when handling the
hives. The smoke SO frightens the
bees that they Immediately devour
great quantities of honey. In fact,
they stuff themselves so full of the

quently unable to lean over enough

During this period the apprentice

Every queen bee and her retinue of

are commonplace abroad which have
not as yet been introduced into the

cising every precaution to keep our

why the Somerset bee farm is used

Making Over Old Paper.

TN recent years the utilization of
waste printed paper and cuttings
has taken on great importance There
are dealers who buy and sell nothing
but paper scraps and large establish
ments where such scraps are sorted.
The chief points in working up
waste printed papers are, first, that
the new paper must be at least as
good as the original, that no special
plant should be needed, and that the
cost should not be prohibitive. I'm
der these conditions the same cellu-
lose may be converted into paper over
and over again until the flbers are
broken so that they cannot form q
web.
The principal difficulty In the way
CT obtaining a usable pulp from print
ed papers is presented by the print
ing ink, and means have been sought
to get rid of this substance. The in
debility of printing ink Is proverb-
ial, but although 1t cannot be re-
moved without disintegrating the pa
per, II can be removed after or dur
ing that disintegratIon.
paper, viz. old newspapers, etc. we
find an inferior paper made of wood
plup. cellulose and filings. The print
! ing on It may be regarded as the re-
suit Of the drying OF a mixture of
timely divided lamphiack with an oily
vehicle. On examining --i-.-I VET
ter under high power, the black
particles of lampblack and the gray
dry residue OF the vehicle can often
be clearly differer.'-.-s
The principle that underlIes the re-
moval of printing ink from paper is
thus obviously to employ agents that
will destroy or dissolve the vehicle
that binds the lampblack or other
pigment, colored inks being In extern
sive use, TO the paper.
The first step is to disintegrate the
waste paper in the ordinary manner.
The resulting pulp Is sieved. and a
large part OF the pigment is thus sep
arated at the outset. There are vari
Gus ways Of removing the residue. In
one process the pulp Is treated with
soap solution, which, when the mass
is sieved again, carries away most of
the remaining pigment. The amount
Of soap varies from three to twenty
two per cent OF the weight of the
waste paper. according to the charac-
| ter of the paper and the nature and
amount of the ink.
Such a process entails loss Of finely
divided fber during sieving; and the
conversion of the vehicle and filling
| into lye or emulsion, which will not
only escape through the sieve, bu
carry the pigment with 1T, is never
complete, SO that the best result is q
pulp Of a decidedly doubtful white
! The loss OF fiber Is often a very seri-
Gus item, and sufficient of itself t
make the process unremunerative.
| In conclusion, it should be notet
! that these remarks are concerned
/ with lampblack ink only. Many o,
the colored printing inks are easily
destroyed by bleaching agents with
| out any injury to the paper fiber.
