Science

OF all living things the bee is
the greatest engineer, greater than
man.
KONG, famous mathema-
tician, once worked out a
problem to find the most econom-
ical cell that could be built. He
found that this cell would have for
it's base angles 100 degrees. % min
utes. and 10 degrees, 50 minutes.
When scientists began studying the
cells made by bees, they found that
they correspondent correctly to the
figures worked out by KONG.
Why the bees selected the hexa-
gonal cell with base of three equal
and similar parallelograrns is one
of the mysteries of nature. Sci
ence can not explain why the bees
use this cell instead of the cylindri-
cal or the cube shape, but science
knows that the cell they use is the
best and most economical that could
be built The only explanation is
that by instinct the bees are as
clever mathematician as the most
highly educated of men. In one re-
spect they far exceed the work of
men, for they build their combs in
black darkness, something that the
most skilled human workers could
not do

The theme nearly always is the
same. A young. handsome girl,

to New York and dazzles the cold
eyes of Broadway.
She meets wealthy, influential and
misunderstood" men, who shower
upon her apartments, jewelry, auto
mobiles, stocks and cash.
Then at the height CT her career,
termed successful in the gin-cracked
voice Of the demi monde, she comes
to grief, and her body. clad in the
splendor of the time, is lowered into
the cold clay of the family cemetery.
back home.
New York learns only from ex-
perence; the handwriting on the
wall never is needed.
Inere is national sympathy Tor
these unfortunates. Yet there is
never a heart gulp or wet tear for
the scores OF beauties who outlive
their Broadway usefulness and pass
on to the perjury that is far more
heartless than being choked to death
or slashed to ribbons.
For their murder is of the slow,
torturous variety, sometimes lasting
from the time they should be in the
full bloom of womanhood until old
old age.
The average life of the Broadway
beauty is at best five years.
The most interesting and graphic
news picture ever taken in New York,
most photographers agree, was one
