gineens.
The bees' cells. , are hexagonal In
form, A great natmedist named Beau -
mug noticing this, asked an equally
famous mathernatcMn to calculate the
angles, and So on, whiek would give
the most space with the geeatest econ-
omy of material ih the omietruction of
a pall similar to that of the bees. The
Mathematician gave the figures, which
Res.umur then compared with those
for the beegells and, found that the
latter were exact.
The Queen's Circular Cell.
In other words, if man endeavored
to coastruct a eell such as the bees
build, and wished to use the smallest
amount of material and secure the
greatest amount of space possible, he
could not do better than the bee.
How have bees succeeded in solving,
with such marvellous accuracy., this
geometrical problem? Many explaea-
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 make her cells circular in form, but
by the laws of Nature the cells, be-
come' hexagonal.
The bees take the little pieCes of
wax they have manufactured in their
bodies and pack them into circles with
little more method than a child exer-
ciees when 'making mud pies. In the
course of this work the bee keeps go-
ing into the cylinder to press the sides

They remainthee for from ten to

which forms in scales. This substance
is the result of honey and a little pol-
len being digested in the stomach un-

'When- the 'exudation has reached its
limit one of the bees will datieh hese
self from the mass and climb to a spot
high on the roof. " Snspended by two
legs, she uses the others to collect the
ecales from one segment and ,convey
them to her mouth. There she chews
and mixes the wax till it is of the prb•

es the tiny bit of evax, so small as to
be altaost invisible, to the roof, flat-
tens it out, and moulds it firnaly into

her abdomen are thus cleared and she
goes back to resunte the business of
wax -making with the hundreds of her
eisters.
A Fifty -Pounder.
What angler for salmon but has
dreamed of a fifty -pounder? Even in
the famed waters of Norway few fish-
ermen have had a go with such a mon-
ster. Maj. Harding Cox in A Sports-
man at Large describes an encounter
In Norwegian waters that gave him all
the thrills both of success and of fail-
ures.
After breakfast, he writss. Tom and
I ‘entered the scow with Tolle to have
another dart, though the conditiOns
were anything but favorable. As us-
ual we started oft with the fly, but
neither of -us met with a rise. Then
we tried a prawn with no better re-
sult. After that just for a lark I af-
fixed a weird mother-of-pearl epinner
to my line. Tolle's steady blue eyes
opened wider than I had ever seen
them before; I think he thought the
continual run of bad luck had affected
my brain.
Suddenly 'a great body surged up
from the depths and snapped my des-
pised spitmer hard and good. In do-
ing so the fish, came half out of the
water.
Tom nearly fell backwards into the
bow of ,the. boat. , "Good gracious,
Geckle, what a ,fish!" he yelled, "It
can't be a tali:nen; I believe' You're
•foul, of a porpoise or a. shark!"
Whatever it wasthat had taken a
fancy to my decorative lure, it went
down deep—and then it ran! Oh, nay
aunt! I had •no -chance to check it un-
til my whole line and half its backing
was ripped off and my finger was cut
halfway to the bond. At last the fish'
turned -and came towards,. us. Shout-
ing to Tolle to row for his life, I
snatched in the slack hand over hand
until I - had -a 'direct feel- beethe 888.
The creature- went deep again, sud-
denly, stopped: and then began "jigger-
ing." I gave half a dozen short, sharp
jerks; the fish ..suddenly stopped his
worryings and made 'an-
other terrific run. But I was able to
turn him ere he had traversed:fifty
yards. ,
And so the battle waged; first the
fish and then the angler got the bet-
ter o fit. After about forty minutes I
ordered Tolle to pull gently to the
strand., where it was our oustom to
laud in order to figh-t .out the final
stages of our struggles with the vari-
ous _fish we had on .hand. This one
was now swimening deep but steadily
about ten yards oft and parallel with
us. As socigas our tieow landed Toni
and I jumped out, and had another
ten minutes' fight with the ileh.
At last when I had manoeuvred it.

When Sleep is a Peril.
Moat 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.
This fact is often responsf le for a
dangerous state of affairs, and there
have been many serious mishaps from
"falling asleep' at the wheel."
A medical correspeisdent has sent
some -interesting suggestions on the
causes of this phenomenon to "Truth."
Commenting on the -tact that the
other' occupants of the car are less
liable to succumb, he points to the
driver's "intense mental concentra-
tion, fixation ef the eyes on the road
ahead, and gentle monotonous, stimu-
lation of the senses"—the very condi-
tions which are frequently created
artificially to produce hypnosis and na-
tural sleep.
BVen in well-designed cars which do
not hinder natural respiration, "the
shallow breathing which accompanies
voluntary mental concentration might
conduce to the effect in an inexperi-
enced driver."
To this a writer in. "Truth" adds the
following remarks:
"It is astonishing ie what unlikely
situations /aunian beings wilL manage
to go to sleep. Most onen with any
experience of trench warfare can con-
firm this. I have known cases of men
