TUBERCULOSIS AND STOCK
This is the season when German bees seem to weary of the monotony of their natural surroundings, and to seek the excitements of the metropolis. Recently swarm after swarm arrived in Berlin to settle upon the most unlikely places, and to be removed with much care. Into the somewhat trying situations thus produced, the Berlin Fire Brigade took steps with its usual bravery. Indeed, this organisation is so useful in many ways other than the extinguishing of conflagrations that it has been called the maid-of-all-work. No fewer than forty times on one day recently the brigade was summoned to remove a swarm of bees, being entirely successful in all but two cases. The bees are, as a rule, not bellicose, and allow themselves to be placed in the receptacles brought for them. Perhaps they are tired of adventure. The. rescuers do not take any risks, however; they are furnished with masks and thick leather gloves, and act with alacrity. _
