the asparagus. Its records reach back
almost to the beginning of authentic his

BIG BEE RANCH IN ’FRISCO
| Public School Principal of Coast City
Harvests a Third of a Ton
of Honey a Season.
There Is a bee ranch with more than
1,000,000 bees in the heart of one of the
densest residence districts of San Fran
cisco. It Is owned by Philip Prior, prin
cipal of a public school, and la in the
little back yard of his home. For ten
years he has kept his bees there, has
I harvested about a third of a ton ol
| honey each aeasoa and has been at no
1 expense for food for his Interesting end
Industrious pets. Although it is n dis
tance of two and one-half miles from
j the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park,
the bees make the trip there, collect
j loads of honey and get back to the hive
: in two minutes, making n bullet-like
■ flight at the surprising rate of 1SI miles
an hour. Mr. Prior has demonstrated
thle by having an observer watch cer
tain bee-favored places In the park and
exactly timing the arrlvnl there of bees
he purposely sprinkled' with flour as
they issued from a hive. He has also
kept time on the absence of the whitened
bees.
BIG PROFIT IN BATHHOUSE
Average New York SeaBhore Resort
Receives Nearly $2,000 a Day
for Rooms Alone.
If you doubt that the nickel and quar- j
ter business doesn’t pay, consider the j
money-making propensities of the aver-j
age seashore bathhouse around New j
York, and make over your opinion. A !
representative bathing pavilion has
1,500 bath compartments. It costs 20 j
cents to rent one. On a medium hot
summer’s day some $800 are derived
from renting these rooms, for the com- J
partments are used In the course of the
day by about 4,000 persona Bathing;
suits rent for 25 cents each. There
would be 8,000 of them for such a pavil- \
Ion, which means $1,000 a day If half of •
them are rented once; and It is fair to'
assume that three-fourths of the 4,000
bathers pay five cents for the use of a
eomb and brush—$150. A total of near-1
ly $2,000, to say nothing or the proceeds J
from restaurant, bar, barber shop and
Indoor baths.
