THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1934 Bees Die After The Human Side 0' Life ! Using Their sting Incidents and Observations Uy L'NCLE ABE. Anecdotes and Humor ! KEEP ON MAKIV HAY Now when a man is down an out Like many folks today, It does no good to .-tew and fret Just keep on makin' hay. Why spend a single .sleepless night O'er hills we cannot pay? The furrowed brow comes soon enough Let's keep on makin' hay. This brooding o'er by gone mistakes Unfit for tasks today Off with the weights of vain regrets And keep on makin' hay. Well. -Mr. Editor, your linotype man shot my colyum all to smytherines last week. Don't know what Tom's got agin me unless it was for get. tin' into tiie grapes that he thought lie had hid in the office but I just couldn't stan' to see them grapes go to waste- And then to think that my copy got by the proof-reader with "tick" for lick and "larg" for lag and ad inhnytum. I de like see Tom go up to Bob Fie's market an' say, "Bob. I want two pounds of beef," whereupon Bob would ask what kind. Then I suppose Tom would say, "I'll take 'lairg' I recokn." Now, its al right for me to sav a cow's "hine lag." seein' I'm a humorist or sum pun, but for our veteran printer to begin sayin' cow's "lairg" I wan you to top him. Mr. Editor, or Homer will be at it too. ' on this bill Uncle Andy had hi. mouth too full to speak at the time, .-o merely shook his head; whereupon the salesman roared, -Well, if you cant pay ,t now, when can you pay One of the witnesses in th. U,,r,. Collins case here la.-t week said that me inp 01 land in litigation was not big enough to buy ll the litigants, lawyers and witnesses on. Come to uhiik aoout :t, lolks. there has been mo.-e lawsuits, more money thrown awaj. more time wasted, more friend ships turned into enmity, more hat red engendered and more human life taken over old disputed lines between land owners than any other one cause, excepting corn liquor. Perhaps no better joke has gone rounds of the "court house crowd" than the one Bill Byers. et al, pulled off on Uncle Andy, some five years ago when Andy was purchasing agent for the county. It seems that a new salesman had come to collect a bill for court house supplies and on inquiring of Uncle Andy was directed to his office. "He is a little man with glasses on. and about a week's growth of beard on his face.1' they told the salesman. "Also very hard of hearing, you'll have to talk real loud to him," the jokers added. The man started into the accountant's office, and one or To all who have said they like our stun in this column (several .-an so; we wu-n to express our thanks ; while if there is anyone who has any adverse criticism to oner, let u.s near from you also.

A little neighbor girl went along vviin my gni i0 Sunday school and preaenmg . recently... On lreturiiing. our neighbor girl seemed somewhat irounieti about what the nreaeher nan said in ins sermon. .Said she the preacher got mad and cursed " "Surely not." said my wife, "what urn ne say: -Jt was a bad word, and I don't want to sav it." wna her eply. It was learned that the preach- "Bei-s never .ome in kn,- owner " -ays James J. Hambletun, Apicultuiist in the Bureau of Ento mology dispelling the belief that beekeepers do not get .-tung, because the.r bi-es know them. 'Every person i wno worKs witn bees will be stunir oc casionally. The layman, who is stung most often, is probably nervous and afraid of bees. Apiarists are well aware that their bees never get to know them. One who understands bees can work taf.i,r ; i 4JI aiioiliui apiary as in his own." Bee specialists also point out that the worker bees, which do the sting ing, do so only in defense of their hive, and even there only a few as sume the responsibility of guards leaving the others free to go about their work. If all bees rushed at once to the defense of the hive and were successful in stinging their vic tim, there would be no workers left because in stinging a bee not only loses it sting but lose.s its life.

Clouds are usually charged posi tively and the earth negatively.. Nor mal diferences in potential are ac centuated during thunderstorms by the breaking up of the rain drops in the air. Discharge from the cloud to cloud, Mr. Weightman says mav be as long as 10 miles, but from cloud to earth ' it usually is not more that 1?4 miles. Thunder is seldom heard farther than ! 15 miles, ordinarily not more than half that distance. The distaruti, in miles- from a bolt of lightning may oe calculated ny dividing oy a the number of second that elapse be tween the time the flash is seen and time the thunder is heard. During a thunderstorm it is advisa ble to get away f;om trees, especially large ones from hilltops, and and from isolated shelters. When caught out in the open by a thunderstorm the best thing to do. according to Mr. Weight man, is to lie down flat on level land. Few automobiles and fewer air planes have been struck by lightning. Automobiles owe their immunity to the fact that they are close to the ground and thus protected somewhat by the nigher object around them, rather than to any isulation from their rubber tires, as is commonly thought. Airplanes escape because air is a good insulator. Street cars with overhead trolleys also are sel dom damaged by lightning because the trolley wires and their supports act as a lightning rod. iwu in ine crown to owpii it ur n wnv 1 i ,,, . . r t-. , e , c' UM" iwmneu in his sermon; hen nil.
