: When Chance Befriends.! Inventors have gone a long way towards producing to erder whatever man and his industries require. But invention is not yet an exact science and never is likely to be. Artisans and experimenters continue to stumble upon useful discoveries. So with Roentgen of X-ray fame. While working over his vacuum tubes he wasg unexpectedly called odt of the room. He left & bulb still glowing on the book he had been reading, and in the book was a large, antique key used ag a bookmark, while beneath the volume there happened to be a photographic plateholder he had ready for an outing that afternoon. When developing some plates later, there upon one of them- he found the shadow of the key. He sought an explanation of the curious phenomenon by replacing the “properties” and energizing the tube as before, There was the shadow again on the plate. The X-ray was found. : : iy

: Queen Ants and Bees, It has been contended that the queen ant has not had justice done to her by naturalists. As compared with the fa‘mous queen bee, she is regarded by some as a far more admirable creature. In fact, they are, in many respects, diametrical opposites. The queen bee is a degenerate creature, unable to nourish either herself or her young, to visit flowers, to build combs, or to store them with honey, With the queen ant quite the reverse is true. She is a perfect example and embodiment of her species and the worker ants suffer from incomplete and retarded development. The queen ant i 8 a very industrious:and intelligent worker and it is Hointed out that she forms an exceedingly ffiteresting subject for study, and has-not hitherto been well understoed.

" End of Cromagnon Age. About 15,000 years ago the Cromagnon age in Europe came to an abrupt end. | There developed a sudden mildness ;i’to the élimate, accompanied by cool rains. eavy forests sprang up on what had been the open grass lands of wild reindeer, wild horses, and wild bison. Glaciers pulled back up their Alpine slopes; the ice fields that were over what is now Norway and Sweden . melted away. The Pleistocene age was over and the modern era was at hand. Cromagnon people all but vanished from western Europe; Cromagnon art was no more.. Whether these wild chestnut-haired hunters followed the. ice into what is now Russia, or whether they became extinct, no one knows. Certain it is their former lands were deserted when the next race of man appeared. ,
