How have bees euceeecled in solving,
with suell marvellous accuracy, this
geometrical 'Problem? Many explana-
tions have been put forward; but if
-we are to believe the latest theories
of various naturalists, the been does
not deserve so much credit as she is
given. The fact is that the bee aims
to snake her cells circular in form, but
by ,the laws of Nature the cellsbe-
come hexagonal. .
The bees take the little pieces of
wax they have manufactured in their
bodies atieepecat them into circles with
more method than a child exer-
cises mhen making mud pies. In the
course of this work the bee keeps go-
ing into the cylinder to press the sides

pushing out of the eides would make

Though science has taus- shown that
the bee is not soclever as "re imag-
ined, eke is yet very ingenious, parte
quiarly in the making of wax, To
make the wax, a few bees elinth to the
top of the hive and there hang Motion -
lees. Others follow, clinging to the
first arrivals, till there is a great les -
Won of bees hanging from the ceiling.
They remain thus fer from ten to
twenty hours, • In that time the heat
of their bodies has set to work, and
from the eight, segmenta of the abdo-
men exudes a whitish substance,
w,hich forms in scales. This substance
Is the result e.f honey and a little pol-
len being digested in the stomach un-
der the influence of heat.
When the exudation has rettehed its
limit one of the bees will detach her-
self from the mass ar,d climb to a spot
high on the root. Suspended by two
legs, she uses tae others to collect the
scales from one segment and convey
them to her moult.. There she chews
and mixes' the wax till it is of the pro-
per consistency, after which she press-
es the tiny bit 'of wax, so entail as to
he almost invisible, to the -roof, flat-
tens, it out, and moulds it firmly into
place. .
Each of the other seven segments of
her abdomen are thus cleared and she
goes back to resume the business of
wax -making with the hundreds of her
sisters.

another dart, though the condition's
were anything but favorable. As us-

neither of us met with a rise, Then
we tried a prawn with no better re-

Whatever it was that hail taken a

jerks; the fish suddenly stopped his

And se the battle waged; first the
fish and then the angler got the bet-

ordered Tolle to pull gently to the

land in order to fight out the final
stages of our struggles with the vari-
true fish we had on hand. This one
was now swan:ening deep but steadily
about ten yards off and parallel with
us. As soon as our scow landed Tom
and I jumped ou.t, and I had another
ten minutes' fight with the fish.
At last when I had manoeuvred it

When Sleep is a Peril.
Most motroists are aware that the
seat at the steering wheel often be-
comes, after an hour's driving, one of
the drowsiest corners in the world.
Thisfact is often responsible for a
dangerous state of affairs, and there
•have been many serious mishaps from
"falling asleep at the wheel."e
A medical correspondent has sent
same interesting suggestions on the
causes of this phenomenon to "Truth."
Commeating on the fact that the
otherthec • are less
lia,ble to suceamb, he points to the
driver's "intense mental concentra-
tion, fixation of the eyes on the road
ahead, and gentle monotonous stimu-
lation of the senses"—the very condi-
tions which are frequently created
s.rtificially to produce hypnosis and na-
tural sleep.
Even in well-designed cars which do
not 'hinder natural respiration, "the
shallow breathing which -accompanies
voluntary mental concentration might
conduce to the effecain an inexperi-
paced driver."
To this a writer in "Truth" adds the
following remarks:
"It is astonishing in what unlikely
situations human beings will manage
to go to sleep. Most men with any
experience of trench warfare can con-
firm this. I have known cases of men
-
reaching the nodaing ete.g,e even on a
motor bicycle, Which is not, on the
face of it, a particularly soporific ve-
hicle but where there are only two
wheels, the loss of balance which fol-
lows immediately the brain ceases to
function,"generally brings the rider to
his senees with a sharp swerve.
"Not always, however, for a friend
of mine achieved, in the days of his
youth, the astonishing feat of going to
sleep on one of the old. high bicycles.
He woke up in the ditch."

Bad Luck or inexperience?
ll'Vhat "Ls' teXined 'Dad luck'' me-
toring is, more often inexperience and
poor judgment.
Music, I take it, is one of life's great
primaries. We can hardly imagine a
people without a love for it. For how-
ever rudimentary it may be it is to bp
found in every clime and nation; and
though we know so little Of its origin
there's hardly tribe or people, prime
tive or advanced, who do not own a
national music.
I think it was, Carlyle who said that
music was 'the Speech of angels, and
that all nations have prized song and
music as vehicles for worship and
prophecy, and whatsoever was in them
wasadieine.
Very wonderful is music, far more
so than speech, for to the heart it
speaks direct; it soothes us, stirs us to
tears or exalts as with joy; and in so
marvellous a manner as nothing else
can. Charles Kingsley once, said:
"Music has been called the speech of
angels. I will 'go further and call it!
the speech of. God himself."
"Gradgrinds often say: "What is the
use of music?" We might reply,
"What lathe use of emotion?" What
would life .he without it? Does, it not

the "Messiah," or•the almost equal
"Elija.h"? Boantifiel are the •lines in
Shakespeare's ".Midseimmer Night's
Dream";
"I know a bank whereon the wild
thyme blows',
Where oxlips and the nodding violet
grow;
Quite over -canopied' with lash wood-
bine,
With sweet musk -roes, and w
lantine."
'rho words themselves are gems, but
when wedded to harmony they are
lifted Out of blank Verse pia become a
never failing delight that makes the
heart throb and briage "a mist before
the eyee." Itnowl
I firmly believe that in no time in
our history have tlie claims of music
beeti mare insistent or more recog-
nized than at the present moment. I
feel sure that there is ecaretily a great-
er influence on earth better fitted to
help us in the wear and tear of life as
title Woraderftilly beneficient lattig, It
it at eine-the In the battle feee
it was to our soldiers in the Greet War
not ao many years ago.
I remember reading a Paseago in
some paper, the utterance or Car:tale
It. I-Tughes of the U.S. Infantry; "There
le nothing that helps the troops acrOss
the Miles like initiate nothing that
h eg-
cheers or solaces them more in camp,
nothing that more vividly expresses
glory and the rapture of sacrifice, and
in expressing it, enkindles it." And
so it does.
And so in our dail'Y fight for bread a
real Vital influence for' spiritual
strength is music; it should ,be
every home, that place where we gain
refreshment and strengtl-Cfer that war,
day after day, a war in which there is
no release. Believe me when I say
that the greatest and most beneficent
Investment, next perhapS to making
provision for our loved ones, is the in-
vestment in some musical instrument,
for it is a "tie that binds." •
Outside the home circle, at this
period more than at any other time,
"all is rush and hurry." ,We rush to
business, we rush home, we rush to
our friends, to our amusements. We
rush through our meals, through the
countryside, -never heeding the beau
ties that surround us. Everything is
sacrificed to rush, and one of its great-
est, most potent incentives is the auto -
mobile. Without wishing to decry its
great usefulness, and source of re-
venue, it is a most expensive adjunct
to our everyday life, while its upkeep
Is a serious drain ion one's resources.
I am an old-fashioned fellow, so it has
little charm for me.
While there is nothing more ‚enjoy-
able than home music, there is no bet-
ter way afforded for getting a mutual
musical acquaintance than by the aid
of the piano. It is so friendly, so
handy, always open and ready to re.
spond. to the touch of those who love
it, and by its aid sightvreading and
technique are benefitted, the apprecia-
tion •of each other's attainments is re-
cognized by these who practice, and
persist in its study and use.
Of all the many musical instruments
(many very beautiful) none seem so
fitted in every way for the home circle
as the piano, for it is so thoroughly in
harmony with every kind of music, it
so beautifully accompanies a song, and
le such a marvellous exponent of the
compesbr's genius.,
