Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Look and listen; hear and learn.
Wisdom thus through knowledge earn.
OLD MOTHER NATURE

TOMMY stopped by the fence at
the edge Of the Green Forest. On
one of the posts he carefully placed
the little bee box he had been carrying
He removed the cover. Almost at once
two bees crawled out and new away.
They circled high and flew straight
into the Green Forest, high enough
to clear the tops of the trees.
Whats the big idea?" demanded
Sammy.
We're quarter of a mile nearer
that bee tree than we were back where
We started lining those bees, aren't
we?" replied Tommy.
Sure" Sammy admitted. but we
could see this place from back there
where we started, so what is the use
of stopping here now? If We are not
going to keep on. what have We gained
by leaving back there when we had
that line of bees working so nicely?"
THE poor things" said Sue. Prob
ably they are all looking for honey on
that post where they found it before
and wonder what has become of it."
Tommy laughed. You should
worry, Sue" said he. They'll all be
coming here just as soon as those two
that left just now can pass along the
word"
1t was even so. In surprisingly
short time the double line of bees was
at work between the bee box and the
tree where they had established their
home. Then again Tommy trapped
two bees by slipping the cover on the
bee box while they were in it, Taking
the box with him, he walked a short
distance at right angles to the line
of flight of the bees. He set the box

Saskatchewan to Northern Minnesota,
Southern Wisconsin. Southern In
diana, and South Carolina, south
through Eastern Mexico and Central
America to Peru, Bolivia and Para
quay.
This kite. with such extraordinary
wing and tail equipment, spends most
of its time floating about in the air.
1t loves to soar and circle high over
Its hunting grounds, and for rest,
floats among the clouds.
Swallow-tail kites are especially
fond of snakes, and their keen eyes
find them, though they are we'll hidden
from the sight of most of their neigh
bors. The reeds and tall grasses
growing thick in the spots beloved
by water moccasins are yet open books
for the keen-eyed sailor of the blue
The snakes are given death dealing
blow with the sharp, strong claws and
the reptile is eaten in the air
With field glasses you can follow the
swallow-tail, watching it race through
the air, snake in claws, occasionally
bending its head forward to take big
bite from its body. 1t is not unusual
for the greedy bird to try to lift some
thing that is too heavy to soar with.
The creature comes hurtling down
through space, dropped by the kite,
who does not trouble to follow it and
dine.
The color pattern of these handsome
birds is black and white, with a violet
or greenish luster on the shoulders
and wing coverts. The bill is BLUSH
black, the cere pale blue, and the feet
a bluish-green, with a tan color on
the claws.
The mother seeks tall trees near the
waters edge in which to build the
nursery. Dry twigs are used for the
foundation, with sticks and hay inter-
lacing. Moss is sometimes added for
q mattress. There are two, sometimes
three, white or buff -colored eggs, well
marked by a beautiful wreath of brown
and cinnamon about the larger end.
In the southern part of their range,
the mother begins to incubate her

This is one end Of the base line. That
post where the bee box Is now Is the
other end Of the base line. The line
Of flight Of the bees from this post Is
one side Of the triangle. When the
bees have got line working from the
box over there we'll have the other
side Of the triangle. Where the two
lines meet to complet- the triangle
that bee tree Is bound to be, for all
those bees belong to the same colony.
You get the line from here fixed in
your mind and follow 1t as closely as
possible. I'll do the same from over
there. Somewhere over In the woods
we'll come together, and right there
we'll find that bee tree. But, for good
ness sake, don't get OF the linel Now
I'll 60 back to the bee box and give

cling along the line between that post
and their undiscovered home.
Whats the idea now in taking that
box way OH side that way?" demanded
Sammy.
ITO establish q base line, and from
that to complete the triangle" ex-
planned Tommy, and grinned at the
look Of puzzlement on th- faces of
his cousins.
What triangle?" Sue wanted to
know.
THE triangle that will show us
where the home Of the bees k," replied
Tommy. grinning at her provokingly.

never heard of 1t as 4 means Of finding

eggs in March. June Is the time
selected In the North.
1t Is wonderful to watch the kites
preparing for their northward Journey
in late spring. They gather In groups
and apparently are practicing for their
trip, though this could hardly be true
But they do much circling and stunt
flying before they rise high into the
air in spirals, finally fading from our
sight.

~ TIES are cousins to the eagles
and hawks. 1t is claiyned that
the kites have the most grace
i n full flight among birds of North
America. In this family there are
certain earmarks you can always be
sure of finding. They have very
strong, hooked bills, their feet have
three toes pointed forward and one
backward. All are provided with
talons or claws that are extremely
sharp and strong, and flexibly jointed
to the toes. You can see how we'll
equipped the kite is to hold fast to
his anchor or to carry his food.
Feather trousers reach we'll below
the knee joint. while wings are strong,
long, and usually rounded in shape.
The tail is variable in length and shape
among the kites, but it rarely departs
from the family tradition of 12
feathers.
