Aplculturist In the bureau of entomolrijry, dispelling the belief that bee keepers do not get stung, because their bees know ttiem. "Every person who works with bees will be stung occasionally. The la.vman, who Is stung most olten, is probably nervous and afraid of bees. Apiarists are well aware that their bees never get to know them. One who understands bees can work as safely (n another'apiary as !n his own." Hefe Specialists also point out that •the Worker bees, which do the sllngttiii, do so only in defense of their hive, and even there only a few assume, t!>e responsibility of guards, leaving the others free to go about their work. If all bees rushed at frnce to the defense of the hive and were successful in stinging their victim, there" would be no workers left, because in stinging a bee not only loses Its sting but also loses its life. Away from the hive, bees are Intent .upon tiieit- work and can .scarcely be induced to sting, unless they are caught and crushed. V, ' Scientists have acquired amazing information about be;es, but the traits and characteristics of these little workers have changed little, If any, since the beginning, of history.

Mile. Paris 1938 Why New York Immigrant Station Is Ellis Island EMs island, in New York harbor about a mile southwest of the Battery, was known to the Algonquin Indians as Kioshk or Gull island. In the Seventeenth century court minutes of New Amsterdam It is referred to as Oyster island, and It was generally so known until the latter part of the Eighteenth century, when It became the property of Samuel Ellis, a butcher living In Manhattan. An advertisement shows that Eills owned the island as early as February 21, 1785. A statute enacted in 1807 In reference to the fortifications In New York bay referred to Ellis island by Its present name. The following year the federal government bought the island from the state of New York and for. many years kept on It a powder magazine, jit was not until 1891 that it wa^Tirst converted into an Immigrant station, Castle Garden, the original ftnmigrant station, burned down and the present buildings were erected In 1897. An. Immigration commissioner has his offices on Ellis island, and aliens detained In connection with the immigration laws are kept there until they are deported or permitted to land. Why Officer . la Called Purser Originally the purser was the dispurser," the man^vho held*the ship's purse tfn'd paid out from it.: Bourse, the modern continental term for exchange or money market, Is really the same word as purse, and so the purser mi«ht have been called t'ae disburser, just as the man of business of many oil] colleges is technically the bursar. On .ships the term in time became further specialized, and whereas on modern men of war the duties are performed by a commissioned paymaster, the purser Is the officer on great passenger liners whose function is largely to look after the travelers and generally perform the offices of the manager of a large hotel.--Montreal Herald.

She was therefore very willing to dispose of them to the United States for Uie sum of $7,200,000. The value o~f the teiv »ritory was very Imperfectly understood by Americans at the time (March 30, 18G7) and the new possession was referred to as "Seward's Folly," since the treaty by which the sale was ratified was drawn up by Secretary of State William H. Seward. ^ ~ Why Stainless Steel Is Rustless The reason stainless steel does not rust Is that a thin, "self-healing" film of oxygen constantly coats the metal. If the blade Is scratched, the "wound" is closed Instantly. The film Is so fine that it can only be measured by X-ray. To the lay mind such a degree of fineness seems incredible, but scientists maintain that- a single sheet of paper is 8:?,300 times as thick as this oxygen layer. .. . MORE SPEED LEONARD A.

It means any of a number of amorphous tasteless substances Issued In most cases by plants and hardening on exposure to their air. A gum tree is so called because It yields gum. • Why Some Peppers Are Hot. ' The bureau of plant industry says that that which makes peppers hot is a glucoside contained in the fruits close to where the seed is attached. The pungent" principle derived from this glucoside is an essential oil. . Why People Wear Wooden Shoes It has long been .the custom for peasants of various European countries to wear wooden shoes. This Is largely because they can be cheaply and easily produced and are adapted to outdoor field work. Why Congressmen Arrange "Pairs" Very often when i member of congress has to be absent on account of illness or because of a committee meeting, he arranges for a pair so that his stand qp a /certain measure may be recorded. ' \ Is speed indicative of progress? The question can be answered only by experience. Was true progress being made In the sOcalled prosperous years which followed the war, or was that prosperity only a will-o'-thewifip? Experience would Indicate the latter. Economic and social progress ig Pffi«sij>le mgre-in the days of depression than In days of false optimism. We were all living at a high tension, and under the pressure of tretnendous speed prior . t6 1930. During the few years which' followed the financial crash, the Intensity of speed seemed to have lessened. Of late, however, a return to the spell of "more speed" seems Imminent.' We read of an airplane having traveled at the rate of 400 miles an hour; of an automobile geared to run 80 miles an hour; and of an aluminum built train reducing the time of travel from coast to coast from ten to twelve hours. Well, what of it? Who seriously cares to rush through space at the risk of his life? What practical difference does It make If we can save ten hours In traveling from Los Angeles to New York? As achievement in science such accomplishment may be worthy of Ifm praise, but for practical purposes It la without significance. *•- " What is gained by more speed? Ontt argument Is that the Increased speedj of rail travel successfully competes with the airplane In mail service. Very good. Rut Is It not also obvious that the airplane will in turn increase Its speed, to overcome train competition, to be followed In turn by more speed developed by the rail train, and so on indefinitely? Where will this competition in speed lead us? To the precipice of an unstable prosperity only to throw us down again Into another economic debauch? Candidly we feel that this period of recovery might be more profitably clmigictorlzed with less and not more speetL^AIoreover, what effect does this craze forNiiore speed have upon our value of human life itself? Why place our'^fvis in jeopardy •by subjecting them to such unnecessary risks? During .i, these recovery , days we need time tor reflection.
