Captain Bambridge was formerly of the Irish Guards, and is at presept altaché at the British Embassy in Spain. It was with the Irish Guards that Mr. Kipling's son was serving when he was killed at Locs (the cruel loss was the great tragedy of Daily News" reminds us.)

The flakes are magnified from 64 to 4000 times. It is a remarkable thought that a little moisture passing through the cold winter air and falling the earth should provide suggestions and ideas for the production of be autiful clothes and ornament and foods.

A Solitary Bee

Honey bees have been known to make their hives in homes made with hands, notably in Bedwyn Church tower, Wiltshire, but ä case of the humble bee doing the same is rare.
