THE OMAHA SUNDAY UEE: SEPTEMBER 22, 1912.
The Busy Bees!
ODAY there is a letter of encouragement for the Blue Side, and ;
the Red Side. The queen of the Busy Bees, who leads the
Blue Side, writes congratulating her side for having won both
first arid second places last Sunday and spurring them on to
more victories. Myron Tibbits, a South Omaha Busy Bee of
the RedSide, , writes urging the other members of this side
'to 'send more letters and better ones so that they may win
"more prizes. ' ' ' v
With so njuch interest' shown by the Busy Bees of each side,, there
probably will be a nip arid tuck contest between the Reds and Blues from
now untif. January, when the winning side Is announced.
The "suggestion by, Myron Tibbits that the approach of winter will
bring tie,, Busy Bees renewed interest in their page is undoubtedly true.
The, .poalvTerisp weather, gives everyone more ambition in every line of
wark-yand', play. ;, The ;f feet is noticeable on the Children's page today.
Tlere "aieiinany Biore letters than last week and very good ones, too.

so many people go; to Carlsbad In the

Not only Americana and Europeans go
to CarUba4 but people from ail over the

(Carlsbad every year. During" November,

everything Is very quiet. The hotelkeep

' In old Greek history the Faun Is known
as a beautiful god. He is half goat and
half man, which yau can tell by his
pointed ears. .

I read an Interesting article In a maga-

may have read it also i It Is that the
Treasury department of our government
Is experimenting with a machine which
washes and irons soiled and . worn paper1
money. ' v . '
It proved to be a perfect success. The
machine Is operated by two girls. One
girl feeds It, while the other girl takes
them out all washed, starched, dried
and ironed as clean and crisp as new,
the whole thing costing only 113.30 a thou
sand, This Is much cheaper than burn
ing or destroying the old Mils and mak
ing new ones.

articles, tell the rest of us about it I am

One morning as I was looking out of
the window I saw Ruth go with her
grandpa In a boat.
She had on her little red hood for It
was a cold morning.
She liked to go with her grandpa very
much.
I think they were going fishing be
cause her grandpa had a net in the boat.
They caught a lot of fish, When Ruth
came homo she was very tired and she
said that she was very glad her grandpa
tpok her with him.

First Say of School.
By Mollle Corenman, 80fi South Seventh
Street, Omaha. Red Side.
After, several months of happy vaca
tion, with nothing to do but have a good
time, school seemed very itrange.
I got up unusually early snd was ready
to start long before School time. How
strange everything seemed that morning
In the school room. We had new desks
and a couple of new teachers, but we had
the same teacher and principal. How
glad I , was to see my old classmates
again and how glad they were to see me!

, worth. Neb,
; The other day when I went to school
I took a red pepper which I was going
to tell the boys was candy.
I dosed several boys and got soms on
my hands. .
I rubbed some of It In my eyes.

Fighting the Shark. ,
The shark is a monster Justly dreaded
by the BWlminer or the unfortunate
sailor who falls overboard; yet, from the
following extract from the manuscript
journal of an oriental traveler, It would
appear that the divers employed In the
pearl fisheries have little fear of .them.
He says:
"The ravenous ' nature and great
strength of the shank are well known,

Sounds Made by Ants.
That ants are capable of producing
sounds Intelligible to their fellows, and
even audible, to the ears of men, seems
to have been proved by the experiments
of Sir John Lubbock, Landois, Foiel,
Warsmann and others.
It seems to be also determined that the
sounds are produced by the rubbing to
gether of superficial portions of the body.
A simple, yet Ingenious contrivance Is
used for enabling an observer to hear
and to study these sounds. A glass fun
nel Is set, small end down, in the middle
of a pane of window glass five or six
Inches square, fitting closely enough
to prevetit the Insects crawling out under
it. A bunch of ants as large as a
chestnut, and froe from any foreign
substance, is dropped through the fun
nel, and that Is lifted up at once. While
the ants are still confused, and before
any of them can reach the edge of the
glass, it Is covered with another square
like It, which has been surrounded n
short distance from Its edge by a pal
of putty.
The two plates cf glass are pressed
togethar tq within about ths thickness
of the ant's bdy, but closer on on
side than on tho other, bo es to Y.a'.d aom

are Increased when the mining Is dene 1n

the year U Is fearfully cold, and where
