MAN USES HABITS OF BEES Earthworm Drag Loaves Into Their Burrow to Provldo Food and Comfort for Winter Why Honey la Stored. Now York. There sir many differ mi ways In wlik'li iiiilmnls uiui't the winter. Many go lnl winter u.iiurters nnd, reducing thi'lr expenditure to u tiiliilimiiii, lie low until I lie spring mils Ihcm again to iit'iltin. others, like tlif wolves, continue to live dangerously, klinply sharpening their wits and In-n-ensing tin keenness of their limit ing Some, like llii' ermine and tlio ptarmigan, ilon n while dress, which In hot It Mire iind comfortable. Others solve the problem by n rbutigo In habitat--notnbly the mlgrn lory birds. There nre several other nUitlons or the problem, and one of llu'Kis Is (o lay nj stores, to hoard, lo .save. Many animal! do this Inside their bodies, Habit Is Acquisitive. A beginning of storing may be looked for perhaps In activities like hose of earthworms, which collect leaves and drag them down Into their furrows, at once making them more comfortable and providing a supply f food for a rainy day. It Is surely Kio acquisitive habit that they hnve. loso earthworms, for more than four tcoro lealleta were tuken from one burrow. With Insects we find nn Inclined piano vt storing that leads up to the tUtiuis Illustrated by hive bees and by aomo of the ants. Among the olltnry bees the mother makes a More for the brood which she never turvlves to see; among humble bees the store Is begun by the mother, but rontlnued by her worker children, and In some kinds at least a part of the society survives the winter; In some tropical bees there are permanent societies and Imperfect combs; In tho hive bees there are permanent societies uml perfect combs. The elaborate storing ot lilvo bees, :arrled to such perfection under men's care, Is, to begin with, connected with surviving the winter I. e., with per manence, and with tlio survival of the mothers ere their offspring grow up. I. e with tho possibility of soclnl tradition. It Is Impossible to think of storing without n vision of Solomon's nnt, "which, having no guide, overseer, or ruler provldeth her meat In tlio sum mer and giithercth her food In the harvest." And, ns among bees, we find nil grndes among nnts from those that do not store at all to those that make n lino nrt of It, According to recent studies of tho common Mediterranean harvesting nnt, tho seeds which are collected are kept ftir a time dry and are eventually put out In the rain to germinate. This has the advantage of bursting tho hard seed coats and In some cases of starting processes of fermentation. At a certain stage, however, tho nnts kill the embryo plant by biting at It, and the seeds are dried again In the sun. The dried seeds of some .vloverllko plants, for Instance, aro then taken back into tho nest and chewed Into dough. This Is dried oneo igaln In the sun In tho form of little biscuits, which aro eventually put Into the cupboard. Culture for Molds. It is likely that different kinds of jeeds receive different treatment and lu Mime cases It .seems that the stored material Is not eaten at all. but Is used as n culture for molds of which Spanish Ambulance in Morocco War 1 JuiiwiF-jfi ;; wWl , TilflHHlBHHf Ih.K Mrr' '1 Y WPfSbT hi fit r-s J samfc&i, mfjfm ESS a l? i " MW&u&mSwaSSx& wmFRM WLJ& wwirtrtifltMwwiiiiwMjiirMiimwii'iiiiiifiyr Two chnlrs adjusted to a pack-saddle on u mule, form this queer ambu lance, used by the Spanish army In Morocco to transport ooldler wounded In the lighting against the Insurgent Moora. thu anis are very fond. It Is nn Interesting fact that tho use of molds reminding us of man's mushroom beds Is practiced by a number of tpilte unrelated animals namely, cer tain ants, termites, beetles and mites. Among backboned animals It Is dif ficult to llnd convincing instances of btoring until we come to' birds and mammals. Apart from tho numerous birds that .store food In their crops, sometimes so cxuhcrnnity that they can not lly, there an; some that may ho said to lay up nutritive savings our side of themselves. lu the burrow of the hamster sexeral store I'liambers are made and grain as well as hay Is accumulated In considerable quantity. The little muiw mouse that thrives all the year round at a high altitude on the Alps makes stores of chopped grass ami gentian roots. There are many other examples of storing, but these ex amples show that tilt. thrifty habit has taken llrm hold In many different comers of the animal kingdom. Round Up Gang of Shoplifters "Dashing Dora" Leader of No torious Band of Fashionable Berlin Robbers.

White slave traffic, tho morphia habit and the practice of blackmail were Joined to theft, fraud and kleptomania In the "Danse Maca bre" or the band of Iterlin shoplifters led by "Dashing Dora."

An easy Job for them was a gold cofTcu set of thirty-two pieces valued at 5.000. Tills was carried off in one visit. Special Belts Used. Dora anil her friends were equipped with specially constructed leather belts fitted witli Innumerable hooks to which they attached valuables as they passed through the shops. The Incident which led to the raid on Dora's home Illustrates the gang's audacity. They fell under tho suspi cion of a salesgirl at one Iterllu lux ury shop, but they bluffed the man ager Into an humble apology. The next day the husbands of the two women visited the shoos. Indli'- nation personllled, and. Hashing l.(MH) mark notes In the face of the manager, they Insisted on a written apology from the salesgirl and thu. manager himself. This was given, but the manager was afterward struck with tlio youth of the husbands as com pared with their wives.
