Work of the Honey Bam- To secure a pound of honey, which Is equivalent to something like 3,000 cells, would take a bee several years. In fine weather the bee makes calls upon fifty to eighty flowers in a day's outings. During this time It collects what Is equivalent to a grain of nectar, which la a thin syrup and has to be evaporated to make honey. The bee, after work lng all day, spends the greater part of the night fanning the uectar with Its wings to evaporate the surplus water. In this way it shortens Its life by wearing out Its wings. Dapgs troth says that a bee at the height of the working season. lives about three working weeks and then dies. Bees frequently perish on the way home, because their wings are so shattered and splintered that they refuse to support the body. If a disabled bee reaches the hive alive it spends the remainder ot Its day nurse, housekeeper and In general utility work. A good and fertile queen bee keeps th hive full of bees during the season. When the honey flow stops she ceases laying at once,' then the workers kill all of the drones and manifest other symptoms of a consuming desire for retrenchment F riel Ion and Power.

Angelina 1 very bright. She makes you think ot a bird, aha ia ao quick In her movements. She is In school before the teacher every morning In winter. The moment the teacher comes In the room Angelina ralaea her hand and begins: "Teacher, Tony, or Maria, or Mary whoever It may be touched the crayon, or knocked Johnny's hat on the floor, or some other tale. All through the day Angelina's hand Is raised with some tale about the other children. The other morning when Angelina began, the teachor Interrupted her and said: "I want you to atop telling on the other children. If you do anything wrong tell on yourself, but I will not hear another word from you about the others." Angelina looked surprised. About eleven o'clock Angelina raised her hand. The moment the teacher looked at her she Ive Just been talking to Vicsaid: toria."

He records the moat startling loss to have been found In a bridge material factory, where the shops were spread over a lot of ground, 80 per cent, of the engines power was lost In the shafting there. In a planing mill the loss was 73 per cent, and in a sewing machine factory it was nearly 70. per cent; It was 77 per cent In s stamping milt and 65 per cent In boiler and machine works. The average loss for heavy machine shops was a little in excess of 63 per cent; the average for light machine work was about 55 per cent . A Bird That Work.

All persona who have climbed great heights are aware that respiration becomes more or leas difficult, the heart beats either very Irregularly or with great rapidity, and nausea, exhaustion and other unpleasant sensations are experienced.

The idea suggested Itself could he not create a rarefied atmosphere by a . mechanical process? He prepared a very fcirge pneumatic air chamber and rigged it with all the necessary appliance. He shut himself In, when the air was rarefied to a degree which would probably be found at the height of 24,000 feet above sea level, then he became ao distressed that the experiment had to stop. As ML Everest Is a mile higher than this simulated altitude, we may naturally conclude that unless there are means for providing for assisting respiration, feet will never tread the height on this globe. I?. An Important Dlaeomjr. Dr. Koch, whose name is familiar to alt intelligent people ras an eminent bacteriologist, has been studying th cattle plague in Africa, and announces the discovery of a new serum which will, he confidently hopes, be effective in diminishing the mortality among the cattle. of that section. The rinderpest has played such havoc In South Africa that this is a most welcome hit of news. The doctor does not as yet authorize the statement that he will be able to prevent animals from being infected with this disease. He has discovered that dogs, monkeys and rodents will not contract the disease, sheep and horned cattle being Its chosen victims. -- Biggest risg That Files.

The fact la well known that for a long time buttons and various other article. for which bone generally used, have been made from congealed blood purchased aLthr slaughter houses, th blood being treated with some substance that harden it to the required consistency. The same articles, it appears, are now made from milk, by a process Invented by an Englishman name and location not mentioned the material used being ordinary skim milk. The process of turning this liquid Into buttons, pool balls, combs, backs of hair brushes and similar articles, Consists In mixing it with a substance the ingredients of which are known only by the Inventor, and then compressing It; at the end of three days the substance la a tlid as celluloid, and ready to be cut and shaped in any way the manufacturer desires. Buttons are among the chief articles into which this peculiar material ia fashioned, and they differ very little In appearance from ordinary bone buttons, and, though of creamy white, can be colored black or red, or any other tint desired, by simply mixing the coloring matter with the milk before the hardening process begins; they are sald-T- ff possess advantages over those made of bone or celluloid in being less brittle and less liable to chip.
