Presently another Bee came a- long and bummed right past Pet- er's nose. This Bee wasn't quite as big as the Bumble Bee. She was a Honey Bee. a worker, as are all Bees you find among the flowers. Presently another Honey Bee came along. but didn't stop.

"That's funny," thought Peter. ”There are plenty of these nice big clover blossoms. yet those Bees didn't stop. I wonder Why." After that Peter kept watch. Not a single Honey Bee stopped at that lovely red clover. But Queen Bumble's children were go- ing back and forth steadily. Fin- ally Queen Bumble herself came bumbling along. She was big, and she certainly was handsome with her velvety cloak of rich black and yellow. Peter watch- ed her sucking up the sweetness from the clover blossom.

qf you please. Queen Bumble, why is it none of your cousins, the Honey Bees. stop at this clov- er? Don't they like clover honey?"

"Of course they like clover honey. They would be crazy if they didn't. Haven't you seen them working on the blossoms of the white clover?” asked Queen Bumble.

"Of course I have," said he. "That is why I have wondered why they haven't stopped here at this clover."

"Short tongues," said Queen Bumble. ”Short what?" cried P e t e r.

looking as if he thought he hadn't heard right.

”Short tongues," repeated Queen Bumble. ”Their tongues are too short for them to reach the sweetness in this clover. so we Bumble Bees have it all to ourselves."

"Do you mean that you Bumble Bees have longer tongues than your cousins, the Honey Bees?" Peter wanted to know.

"That's Just whatsl mean," re- plied Queen Bumble. "The more red clover there is. tbs" better off we Bumble Bees are. We can feast, where our cousins would starve to death,"

Strange But True

By 1'. ti. IlsoAI-thus

A strange insect is the cicada. it only digs itself out of mother carth every seventeen years, flirts about in the sunshine for a .ew months, sings its songs. and

en burrows into the cam; again for another long sleep. Science has not yet teamed the real secret of this strange life cycle of the cicada,

The last invasion of the shining cloaked insects with the letter "W" as their cost of arms took place in this country in 1953. The life cycle of the strange orange and black-colored bugs will not begin again until 1970. What new Pages of history will have been written by then!

No living person is able to say what events may crop up to change. the entire mold of civil- izalion during the next 16 years when the cicada await nature's mysterious call from its subter- ranean darkness. Depressions and wars may come and .go, towns and cities spring up in places now as barren as the Sahara desert, but no matter what changes take place in this world the men of science are sure of one thing. Namely: In exactly 16 years or in 1970, some mysterious announce- ment will sent the mightly army of clcadians scurrying aloft to

courtship. propagation and death.

What strange telepathy must govern these little insects! Each individual, though completely iso- lated for 16 years. knows the ex- act time of "resurrection day” and at the mysterious call mil- lions of them come to life and take their brief spell in the world of things.

Once out of his prison house his first act is to climb a tree and shed his suit after the manner of all insects.

In this stage the bug is com- pletely defenseless. But before 24 hours have passed the soft shell hardens.

And strange but true. few in- sects live as long as cicadas.
