EVANSTON, ILL.

Four million bees worked overtime last summer so that Ralph Lidge, 17-year-old Chi-cagoan, could study at Northwestern university this year. He will work his way through college by selling the ton or more of honey which they produce annually. "I've been keeping bees for four or five years now," Lidge said. "It began as a hobby, but I realized -that I could make money at it and expanded my apiary. I have 40 colonies now, with about 100,000 bees in each colony.

I intend to start another 25 colonies next spring." Lidge is a freshman in the college of liberal arts, taking a pre-medical course. He keeps his bees on a small farm on the outskirts of Chicago, and sells the honey both wholesale and retail. He reported that bee-keeping combines nicely with a college education, for during the winter the bees cluster in their hives and require no attention. "In spring I investigate to see how the bees have come through the winter," he said. "I combine weak colonies or buy a few pounds of new bees, and check the whole group for disease.

In summer I have to see that each colony has enough space for honey storage, and watch for swarming. In fall I pack straw around the hives so they will keep warm during the winter." He added that, contrary to popular impression, bees sting their keepers at regular intervals unless they are handled very slowly and carefully. In fall, when they are cold and irritable, they will sting no matter how they are handled. He explained with stoic calm that after a certain number of stings the body builds an immunity to the bee-venom. "Besides," he said, "bee stings are a recognized treatment for rheumatism." Despite his stings, Lidge maintains that he has the sweetest part-time job of any undergraduate in the country.

He admits that he is a little puzzled by one point does he keep the tees or do they keep him?

THIS CURIOUS Color of Horses Few people seem able to describe the color of a horse unless their occupation concerns horses. A bay horse, notes a writer in London Answers Magazine, is a reddish-brown with black mane, tail, and points; sometimes with a white blaze or stocking.

Chestnuts have the mane, tail, and points of the same hue as the rest, or lighter. Brown horses frequently have dark points. A clipped light brown may be mistaken for a chestnut. A roan is a horse whose body color (brown, or chestnut) is flecked with bluish-gray. A strawberry roan has bluish-gray spots on a bright bay skin.

A p.ebald has patches of black on a white ground. A skewbald is splashed with brown on a white ground. In speaking of a horse's height, a "hand" is four inches. WORLD By William Ferguson sons. Mrs.

Reports have been received of dairymen "air" coding their milk During rcutine examination at the milk plant, this practice is easily detected because of the tremendous growth of bacteria. Air is a very pcor conductor of heat. In one experiment, it was found that it required nine hours in a temperature of approximately 20 degrees Fahrenheit to cool milk from milking temperature to 50 degrees. Under some conditions cooling milk results in freezing.

At any rate, the traveler who fails to look beneath the surface of Edinburgh will miss half the fascination of this ancient city, declares an authority on Old World scenery. Beneath the pavements and tall buildings of the modern Edinburgh an historic underworld is buried. Remnants of Roman roads, buried lakes and rivers and a honeycomb of subterranean apartments built centuries ago lie hidden tinder the city's surface. Recurrent legend also tells a mysterious tale of an underground passage which runs beneath the famous Royal Mile and connects the castle with Iloiyrood palace.

Fragments of old Roman pavements have been unearthed from time to time. One stretch was excavated in Trinity hospital and church were demolished to make way for W'averly station. Another had earlier been unearthed along the North Bark of the Can-ongate, and yet a third may be found near Portobello. The streams which run an underground course beneath the city are the Broughton Burn and River Tumble. Paved over in 18f0, Broughton Burn ran through Brouehlon to the head of the Kirkgate at Leith.

The Tumble course lay between St. Cuthbeit's church and King's park. Most astounding, however, are the subterranean apartments. Built in the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, they are practically inverted skyscrapers. The apartments were constructed for ordinary living purposes only, and were equipped with the usual furnishings of living rooms and bedrooms.
