But Raleigh was not discouraged. He
sent out another colony, which consent

the expedition returned with the glad
news. Four years later, when Sir Wal

progress of the colony, he found on
the island no trace of settlers or set

carved on a tree.
Sir Walter then
gave up the Roanoke island project as

BEES FOR WAR MESSENGERS
Their Employment Is Said to Have
Gone Far Beyond the Range
of Probability.
A secret long cherished In tlie Brit
ish war department lias just been dis
covered—the use of bees as messen
gers.
No longer will the aide de camp
spur his staggering horse through shot
ami shell to carry tlie message to tlie
front. Instead lie will don his gloves
and mask, and. going to tlie portable
be, hive back of headquarters, seize
one of the faithful little Insects, and
send the well-trained
messenger
i
through the air.
Whoever possesses ii receiving outfit
can rend tlie secrets of tlie wireless;
one can cut the wires of tlie ordinary
telegraph, and tlie pigeon does not al
ways escape tlie bullet.
Therefore, other means have been
sought. In America, the general staff
dreams of using as a dispatch bearer
—the bee.
I
The bee, like the carrier pigeon,
guided by its marvelous instinct, re
turns to the hive from wherever he
may be liberated. Tiny dispatches,
which can be deciphered with the mag
nifying glass, cun be attached to its
breast.
But something better still lais been
found. By an ingenious process tlie
wings of tlie tiny insect are sensitized,
and by means of microscopic photog
raphy the message is imprinted there
on.
Obliterated Mattie.
"If I have to come In here again to
speak to you children I shall punish
you well, mind that!” warned mother,
angrily. “I don’t want to hear another
sound from either of you today.” She
went back to her work, and a most un
hoped-for silence followed. Finally,
going back to the children’s room, she
found Edna calmly playing with her
dollle, but Mattie had disappear»«!.
“Where is little sister?" anxiously
demanded mother.
‘T’ll explain about her,” bedmed
Edna. "You ’member you said y >u
didn't want to heard another sound
from either of us today, and I minded
you nicely, but when I gave Mattie a
few pokes she got ready to commence
screeching again, so 1 pushed her into
tlie closet and locked the door on her,
ami," she triumphantly addl’d, “you
couldn't hear a sound out of her now
if she screeched lier head off.”
Too iluch Soap Bad.
Many persons abuse soap by making
a stiff, creamy lather in bathing,
under the belief that this is neccessary
to dissolve dirt that fills the pores of
the skin. On the contrary, Dr. Samuel
Dixon, health commissioner of Penn
sylvania. says very little soap is re
quired to break up dirt and permit
water to remove foreign substances
from the pores so that glands may
perform their normal function. Ex
cessive use of soap usually tills the
pores with fatty substances and re
sults In Imperfect action of the sweat
glands, which is recognized us a cause
of disense, especially of a respiratory
nature.

much more.
