Such a statement may seem strange but
reports to the contrary, the big fellows are
not abundant. Roughly speaking there are
two colonies Of thcm-one in the rain forest
bordering the Gulf Of Guinea and the other
in the eastern part Of the Belgian Congo
More than decade ago gorillas had be-
come rare enough SO that they rated absolute
protection They didn't get it, hut, under
the leadership Of the British and Belgian
governments, an international convention was
called and the gorilla, along with sixteen other
rare African animals, was placed upon an
embargoed list and it's expectation was Chico

The only trouble was that not all OF the
European nations, with colonies in Africa,
agreed TO the regulations thus leaving loop
holes.
Besides. when It is considered that eorillas
have retaied for as much as 10000 it is not
strange that INSCRIPTIONS men think nothing
OF fouting the law. In most cases, perhaps
ALL the acquisition of n gorilla has meant the
death Of at least one other usually the

Mcat-hunery natives have been known to

African who wants 10 live gorilla will
have to travel to America TO visit the ZOOS.
OF 700 gorillas, there are thirteen and

Queen bumblebees live through

Bumblebee homes are made in the

on the loaf. The eggs hatch into

Lightfoot the Deer had been a pris-

Brown. 1t seemed very. very long
time TO Lightfoot. for never in all
his life before had he been a pris-
oner between four walls. In the
winter when the snow had been
very deep he had been a sort of
prisoner. That is. he had had to
stay in one part Of the swamp where
he had trodden paths because in
these paths only could he get about
to find enough to eat. But then he
had been free prisoner. That is.
he was free to try to go elsewhere
if he wanted to, but he didn't want
to. Now he wasn't free at all. He
simply couldn't get out of that COW

Here is a little quiz" which YOU
might give yourself before reading
the paragraphs below it.
l. How many eyes has humble.
bee?
2. How many wings has a bum
hlebee?
3, Do bumblebees make honey OF
sny kind?
4. Is a humblebee the same as a
humblebee?
S. What important food for live
stock needs the bumblebee?
If you can give the right answers
to all those questions, you know
more about bumblebees than most
persons.
A bumbIebee has five eyes. Two
OF the eyes are large and com
pound"-that is, each one mas many
little parts. The other three ewes
are small and are known as simple
eyes" They are in the forehead of
the bee.
A bumblebee has four wings. In
this way it is like hundreds of other
kinds of living insects, includ-
ing dragonf1ies and grasshoppers.
Hollsefies are examples of insects
which have only two wings.
BumblebeeS do make honey, but
1t seldom is eaten by people. Like
honeybees, they produce honey to
feed their young.
"Humblebee' is Just another name
for bumblebee. There are several
kinds of bumblebees, but there is
no difference between a bumblebee
and a humblebee.
The name "bumblebee' came to
lis from English spoken long ago.
Bundle" was used as meaning
hum" or "humming" So we NAV
say the meaning of the name is
'humming bee" A bumblebee
makes a strong humming sound.
Red clover is food for live
stock which bumblebees do much to
keep from dying out. Every farm
er who raises red clover needs bum
blebeeS on his farm.
Many kinds of insects spread pol
len from flower to flower. If thev
did not do this. most flowers would
