REEKEEPERs COOPERATING T,
FIGHT BEE DISEASES

The germs of this disease do not
affect human anatomy.
The Benton County Beekeepers as
ISOLATION is cooperating with the ex-
tension service and the division of
agriculture of the state college OF
Washington in fighting the bee dis
eases which exist in the county.
These diseases. American and Euro
pean foulbrood, are menacing the bee
keeping industry of the county. B. A.
Slocum, bee specialist of the state
college, will be in the county from
March "a to April 16 to assist the
beekeepers in conducting a campaign
against these diseases.
American foul brood is caused by
spore bearing bacterium, Bacillus
larvae. This germ is very resistant,
which fact has been established by
various experiments. One-half of the
spores have been as good as ever,
after being boiled for ten minutes or
in contact with some of our strongest
chemicals, such as corrosive subli-
mate or carbolic acid, failed to kill
them unless left for long periods of
time. The sport is carried in the hon
ey, or in old combs-thus one must
be very careful and not expose dis
eased honey Or combs where bees
may find them. The disease attacks
the larvae about two days before the
cell is capped, the larvae consequent
ly dying after the cell is capped. The
Gaping starts to sink and little pin
hole appears in the cap. The scales
and the diseased larvae adhere to the
cells. which makes it impossible for
the bees to handle this disease with
out assistance. The larvae, when af-
fected changes to light brown col
or. then becomes darker and finally
melts down into black scales which
lie along the bottom of the cells. The
disease sreads slowly and does not
affect adult bees. If comb or hive
becomes very badly infected it will
have a very disagreeable odor, like
burnt glue. The scale of the pupa
will have very fine thread, which
is the tongue of the bee, pointing up
ward and sometimes adhering to the
roof of the cell-as this characters
tic appears only in this disease it is
conclusive proof Of its presence. As
the majority of the cells are capped
and scattered over the comb, the
comb has pepper-box like appear
ance. =.
European foul brood is caused by
the germ Bacillus pluton, which is
non-spore bearing form and thus not
as resistant as the American foul

Amazing Appetite

Large animals have the advantage
in water. A man coming out OF his
bath carries one pound Of water with
him. A mouse coming out would carry
its own weight, while hy In similar
circumstances would be loaded with
so times its weight. Small animals
have to have more food because the
heart has to do relatively more work.
A mouse thus eats one-third OF Its own
weight every day.

Stupid Errors Made

may be found an Old-master painting,
in which a saint holds a very modern

INCOME BLANKS NOT READY
Filing of Returns is Delayed Pending
Enactment of New Act in Congress

Heretofore taxpayers have been
urged to file their income tax returns
early. The filing of returns this year
is delayed, pending the enactment of
the new revenue act now before the
Senate, which, as it passed the House
contains changes in regard to rates
and other features. However, there
is nothing to prevent a taxpayer at
this time from closing his books and
computing his net income. Such COM
putations will not be affected by any
provisions of the new act. The ac-
tual preparation of the return itself,
after the computation, requires, in a
majority of cases, but a few minutes.
Therefore, it is advised that all fig
ures and data be assembled, pending
receipt of blanks by taxpayers. When
released, blanks will be sent to tax
payers and also may be obtained at
the Office of Collector John w. Herring,
in Wilmington. Forms 1899 and 1896
used for making information returns,
are now available at offices of collec-
tors of internal revenue and branch
offices. Such returns are required of
persons Gin whatever capacity acting"
who made to a single person during
the year 1925 a payment of $1,000 or
more, or to a married person a pay
ment of $4,000 or more. Such pay
mentS include salaries, rent, interest,
cor other fixed or determinable gains,
profits and income" Collectors of
Internal Revenue are not authorized
to receive information returns, which
should be addressed to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, Sorting
Section, Washington, D. c.

Ears That Tell Ages

To ascertain the age of a horse, If
not too old. it is usual to examine it's
teeth. To tell the age Of a fish, re-
gardless Of age, you look into its ear.
In the internal ear of a fish there
is little hony pocket. In this pocket
IS Il tiny stone called an OthOlith, which
rolls about as the fish tips this way
and that, and so helps it to know If
It is right side up. AS the fish grows
older, says a writer in English Me
chanics, the otholith grows larger, and
the age of the fish may be determined
from its size.

SpectacIes Go Back
to the Middle Ages

The little storm sashes with which
so many people have to cover their
eyes, and generally known as spec
tacles were first invented in the Middle
ages. At that time Latin was in uni
versal use as the language of all sci
ence and scholarship, and it was there
fore only natural that this new inyen-
tion should be given Latin name.
Spectacular comes from the word
which means to see or to look at, and
this was the title, afterward corrupted
into our "spectacles," that was given
to these aids to vision. Later on in
history, the clumsy framework of the
old spectacles was improved upon, and
the new and lighter glasses were called
eyeglasses or pincenez (pinch nose),
to distinguish them from the old spec
taCles. In a sense, of course, all eye
glasses are spectacles, but we use the
word only as denoting a special form
of frame

subsidence of a central land mass, ac-
companied by the equally slow growth
of the girdling reef. According to this
view, each atOll is in effect the bar
rier reef of an island which has van
ished, or of submarine mound which
approaches the surface of the sea.
More crudely stated, the atoll is the
crown of a sinking volcano. Sir John
Murray, the botanist Guppy and Prof.
Alexander Agassiz combated this
theory and showed that reefs exist in
parts of the Pacific where there is
no evidence of subsidence, but where,
on the contrary, there has been up
lift.

Dispute OUer AtOlIs

The scientific controversy regarding
the origin Of atolls is an old and
famous one, and is not yet fully set
tied. Darwin held that the rings of
coral, which sometimes rise from
depths far below the limit at which
reef-building polyps can live, are the
result of the gradual wearing away or
