Bees and humming birds, as well as boys and girls ancl,grown folk, have their favorite colors. Bees and hum- ming birds, however, continue their preference to flowers, and do not in- clude neckties., gowns and hats, Sir John Lubbock' proved by some amazing experiments that bees prefer blue to all other shades In blossoms, The discovery hos Iikewise been made that where red flowers -are most plenti- ful, there will be Lound most frequent- ly the dainty humming bird. Of course, this does not mean that bees and humming birds do not visit flow - ores of other shades as well. It only shows that when they can, they turn to the oolor each likes. best. Bees are especially fond of the blue fleur-de-lis, the Canadian bluellag of the marshy meadows. They delight in the blue, capped lobelia, too, more than in its cousin, the •native cardinal flower. Other bine flowers of garden and Held and roadside have been found to be to the bees' particular liking. Red flowers, on the other hand, to which the Mini:filing birds eagerly fly, are•tho blossom of the trumpet- creep- er, tate trumpet 'honeysuckle. the red columbine, the cardinal flower; and in the garden the littlee"ruby throat" is often found hovering over the glad!• clue blooms, the most common colors of which have always ranged from pink. to crimson -red. -From Better (!ones and Gardens, Mr. "It."

By David Dietz, The atmosphere, rains, rivers, gla- ciers and oceans., as we have seen. are continuously, at work wearing' away the land. If these forces were the only ones at work. the continents would be level- led into featureless plains stretching from ocean to ocean and all the sedi- mentary rocks would be in even layers Upon the ocean bottom. But a second group of forces coun- terbalance the work of the first group„ This second group tends to uplift the As a result of these forces, we find the continents marked with great chains of mountains. We find layers of sedimentary rocks which formed colder water now lifted high above sea - level and bent and buckled and twist- ed out of their original shape. We also find a third type of rock whose formation was brought about by -these forces. The forces which cause the uplifting of the continents and the' mountain ranges upon them, are due to the con- tractlon of the earth, many geologists believe. Contraction is thought to be due to loss of heat and to molecular rear- rangeanent of the materials In the in- terior of the earth. As the earth :contracts, the outer crust or surfat'e of the earth becomes too large for it. Cancequently it col- lapses, Parts $ink. Other parts„ are buckled up into great wrinkles by this sinking, Geologiste know that the continents are composed of lighter rooks such as the granites: while the ocean beds -are 'conhpose.d of heavier rocks known as basalts. Consequently, in these readjustments due to shrinlcage, the heavier ocean bells tend to sink while the lighter masses composing the continents are pushed up and elevated. Geologists have a theory known as the theory of isistasy. Aocording to this theory, the crust of the earth le considered as floating, so to speak, upon the molten but rigid Interior of the earth. According to this theory, the heavier materials�sach as the ocean beds, set- tle down because of their weight. This causes the lighter materials, the con- tinents, to rise. Because of the rigidity of the earth, the Contraction process cannot be a gradual one. It is periodic,. The tendency toward shrinkage sets up tremendous strains in the structure of the earth's crust. These strains next get so great that the material gives way to them. The shrinkage first sets up strains which Buse small movements of por- tions of the earth' surface. The dif- ference of elevation caused by these small warpings Is usually only several hundred feet, • These small warpings la time set up strains which cause a breaking and greater re -adjustment between the ries ing and settling portion. At these times, the shortening, folding and breaking of the earth's crust causes the rise of great mountain ranges, Geologists believe that eight read- justments of this nature have taken place in North ,tmerica 1n the course of the world's history. Finally there are the great periods of major re -adjustment when the con- tinents are lifted as units above sea - level. Geologists believe there have been elx such major readjustments In the world's history. Next article—Earthquakes, The Clever Blacksmith.
