discover an old er practical joke than that of the cop persmith and the maker of brazen im ages for the temple of Osiris which is embodied in Egyptian inscriptions dat ing from the reign of Menes founder of Memphis who ruled over 7IHJ0 years ago According to ancient rec ords there dwelt between these two craftsmen a quiet man whose desire was for peace and who was sadly dis turbed by the noisy occupations car ried on by his busy neighbors He therefore asked each of them to say for what sum they would change their dwellings This they did Each calcu lated the amount required and he be iug satisfied paid it over to tlieui Now lie asked of the coppersmith where is your new dwelling I have taken that of the maker of im ages was the reply And you queried the quiet man of the latter whither goest thouV To the house of the coppersmith This is one of mauy tales told in all ages which are woven into myth and legend and differ only in local color Bees Recognition of Landmarks There can be little doubt that so intelligent an insect as a bee has a long memory and a keen eye for land marks This is testified to by the fact that almost all bees fly by day whereas such creatures as moths of no fixed home or occupation fly in the darkness A bee would be lost at midnight because it could not recog nize its surroundings Correspondent Wants to Know Heres a funny thing One fly can spoil all
