Dog's Sense of Danger.
Perhaps the most surprising and In
teresting story concerning dogs Is one
that occurred in the writer's own
town, in England. One Sunday after
noon, in August of 1917, a man pro
ceeded to his allotment for a few
hour's work. He took with him, as
usual, his dog, a great pet. Toward
6 o'clock the dog grew very restive
and kept trotting excitedly toward
home and back again. Every whit

from three to seven blooms. The Chi

top of the bulb, which seems to fa

must be careful to cut only one-eighth
of an Inch in depth, or the leaf growth
will be injured.

It Is no doubt time that nearly all
human inventions have been suggested
by natural objects. Fremont of the
French School of Mines points out

of the screw, the fundamental Idea
of which, he believes, was suggested
to primitive man by the spiral Khape

Why Drenea Are Numerous.
The great puzzle has been why did
Nature create so many drones among
bees, when but one ever served a defi
nite purpose In a hive. Huber, famous
bee student, has answered lt by de
claring that males must be numerous
so that the queen In her bridal flight
will have the best of chances to meet
one. Were there but two or. three to
a hive they might miss the departure
of their queen altogether, or else fall
to find her on her flight. Her stay In
her flight must be brief, for a sudden
wind may blow her from her course
or beat her to earth where,, wet-winged
and chill, she would die or fall prey to
a bird.
Age of Earth Incalculable.
Astronomy gives little hint of the
age of the earth. It Is presumed that
our family of worlds came from a
much older cloud of nebula, but when
It is attempted to express the time
in years from that era to this, the
figures are meaningless; they are so
vast The remotest period or time
which geology reveals shows the earth
to all Intents the same as lt Is today,
with the exception of the higher forms
of life. That era was a million of mil
lion years ago, and In proportion to
the history of our globe from its gen
esis It was hardly more than a few
minutes in one day of time.
