Across the street there another performers and the medley goes on as such things do in Pande~ nemium; each singer, dancer, musi- cian, pursues his little program (empties h". 3 bags of tricks, to be quite professional) as if he were the cynosure of the street: It would be lmpos-ible to recognize the slow, stupid, ugly Bedford Place of day- time while this tumultuous variety of. noises fills it from end to end.

If you asked some people Where such land such a thing originated they Would not, know Many 0f the things used in every day life were the result of accidents. Take for instance the lamp chimney.

They called their father to see the strange sight. He looked through the glasses and what he saw suggested 2 to him the possibility of constructing 1 a curious toy. l Galileo, hearing of the toy which i made distant things appear close at I hand, saw at once what a valuable help it would be in studying the heavens. He set to work. and soon made the telescope. An accident helped Senefelder to in- vent lithography. He was sort of jack-of-allHtrades a writer of verses , and comedies, an actor, a fiddltr, a painter, an ingraver and a. printer He worked atetching on copper, but the coppersmith refused to let him have any more leates unless he pa «1 cash for them. then tried to utilize the old plates by rubbing oh the etch- iings with a softy limestone.

She was a bee. a worker bee of true British stock. She had been told off to gather bee- bread. which is pollen of flowers and honey mixed in proportion known 6n- ly to its makers. With incredible speed, that almost suggested machin- cry, she dusted the pollen of the but- tercup off with her hairy forelegs, and packing it in balls of fractionally equal weight, tucked these on the stiff, curved heirs of her hind legs proâ€" vided for that purpose. Then she dropped from her flower, and her load bore her almost to the ground before the little whirring wings could get up speed sufficient to lift the weight and clear the teps of the herbage. hAs she bummed along homcwards. s 12 It was necessary first to rise high. pick up the big poplar, dropping thence to get an age-old hawthorn, standing in 1her own cast-oh drapery of blossom, in line with the cherry tree.

Then, quite suddenly, it ceased, and our bee beheld each queen holding the other, it were, by the throat; each queen with deadly sting drawn back! ready to strike, andâ€"forebearing. It! was never struck, that fatal thrust. Nothing; no fear of life or death; no agony nor hunger; no pride or love of power; no passion of hate could force them to break the one immut- able law of beeland which provides that the hive shall not be left queen- lcss. So, since in that position they would have slain each other, they forebore for the hive’s sake, and an hour later 'the old queen abdicated and‘ ‘swarmed, ” taking her old retain- rs with 'her.

This suggestion is that the enor- mous output of gold in recent years has upset th: balance of prices and that the world has not yet shaken itself down to a true adjustment. Statistics show conclusively that in England, on the continent, and in North America nearly all the com- mom-r and most necessary articles of food have been steadily rising in price since the century opgned. Meat, especially bacon in England the favor1te food; milk, bread It is cal- per cent. of ‘0" poor man's and sugar all cost more. culated that there is a ten increase in the weekly budget household expenses in England. Prof Ch‘ap man, at a recent meet- ing of the pBritish Assocation pro. (110 ted that the next three years would be an era of strikes due to the fact that, whereas up to 1896 the cost of living had been falling it. had since then been rising. l A King's Reward.
