hundreds of tons of nectar are wasted
But wheer there are bees, attracted
by the characteristic odor of the

their wonderfully adapted mouth
parts. After fitting from flower to

their sweet burden where they deposit
their load in waxen cells made by
their comrades. What they deposit

would be likely to run out of the

If one should go into an apiary
while honey is coming in, especially at
dusk he would notice a marked hum,

keep indefin tely.
Yet only half of the story has been
told. In going from flower to flower
the bees incidently carry pollen from
one flower to the pistil of another and
thus secure cross-fertilization. This
causes a greater production of better
fruit and seed. To such an extent is
this the case that, tho the beeman
may take from one hundred to several
hundred pounds of honey from a
colony of bees, the fruit grower or
farmer is ven more benefited.

but great alarm was caused in Phila-
delphia by the explosion which occur

Q. How much loss is there in
weight when coffee is roasted ?-B. L.
a "kll About Coffee" says there Is
, shrinkage OF green coffee after
roasting of about 16 per cent in
weight. The coffee expands slightly
! in size.
Q. What is proof reading ?-E. V. E.
A. 1t is the reading and maxim
corrections in printers proofs. These
proofs are the printed trial sheets
| showing the contents or condition of
matter in type or otherwise ready for
| printing. Printers proofs are USUALLY
taken on sheets of paper with wide
margin in order that correction may
be made thereon.
Q. Why is there q little notch in
| the boundary line between Massa-
chusettS and Connecticut?-L. G. b
A. The Geological Survey says thai
the reason for this peculiar deviation
from a straight boundary, known as
the "Southwfck jog" is that when
adjusting errors in the boundary line
between Connecticut and Massa
chusetts as previously run by com
pass long, narrow strip OF land was
given to Connecticut, and the South
wick jog ceded to Massachusetts was
| intended to be an equivalent area.
O. What kinds of wood are used
for handles of tea kettles and coffee
pots?-J. p. t.
A Beech, birch, maple, and sap and
red gum are reported as being used
| in largest quantities for these pun
poses. 1t should be possible. however,
| to use other hardwoods and soft
woods, which do not contain too much
resin.
| G. Why are rainbows always parts
| of a circle?-D. s. NJ.
A. The rainbow is caused by lighf
from the sun passing into a drop OF
water and out again after reflection
| from the far side. The light IS re
| fracted, as we say, both where It en-
| ters the drop and where it leaves the
drop, and thereby split up into Us
| original colors. Now, the red. say, O.
any other given color, reaches the
eve of the observer only when the
| straight lines from drop to sun and
drop to eye make a particular angie
with each other; the reason for this
comes from the laws of refractlon.

At Fletcher, n. G., a ceremony is
being performed today that should be

being unveiled at a church in that city
in commemoration Of the birthday of

Americans as Bill Nye, who died

was only 46 years of age when he

Some are going TO be fooled. That Is
the fate Of the voters everywhere and

there seem to be more New York
