and they at once become harmless, This is
uniform law of their natures, as certain and re-
liable as any other law Of nature. The knowl
edge Of this law, and little expertness 10
managing the alarm in such way as to induce
each bee 10 seize his portion of the common
treasure, is the only magic possessed by the
bee cfrarmers, which enables them to astonish
by their boldness the unin,iated lockers on.
The drones have no stings, of course they
must be handled with impuniry. They may
be distinguished BY their larger size. The
different keys upon which bees pitch their note
indicate their condition. When they are full
of honey their note is ORA lower KEY, and has
quite uniform hum drum tone. When they
are empty, their note is sharp and angry
When swarm have filled themselves it NAV
happen that one or more may be found, that
have not secured any portion of the ;reasure.-
Perhaps they have just returned to the hive,
and have had no opportunity TO fill themselves
These will fly about in great agitation utterine
a sharp piercing note. IF you are rot careful
you may get stnng by them. Their angry note
is readily distinguished from the note of the
rest of the swarm, and the operator puts him
self at once on his guard A few days since,
had the pleasure of seeing Mr.. Langstroth, on
the grounds Of Mr.. Brown, Editor of the New
England Farmer, take large old hive, full of
bees, and remove it from its stand, and turn il
bottom upwards, and call out the swarm into
an empty box-take them mp by handfols, and
handle them with the same freedom, as he
would so many peas. He broke open several
bees and Showed the full honey bag He struck
down one that was altering a spiteful note and
threatened to sting him, and showed that his
bag was empty. Not having secured any por-
| tion of the common stock, he was obeying the
next instinct of his nature, and endeavoring
with his own unaided weapon, 10 drive off the
invader. Mr.. l.. has constructed a very inge-
Mons hive, in which the operations of the bees,
and the progress of their work, may be readily
watched from day TO day. In this hive, the
comb is constructed in plates about an inch
thick, entirely distinct from each other. Any
| one of these plates may be taken out, the bees
shaken or brushed from the comb The comb
is then detached from the frame that contains IT,.
The frame is replaced, and the bees mmedi-
ately set themselves TO work 10 reconstruct
another comb in place of that which has been
taken away. The whole arrangement is very
complete, and shows thorough knowledge of
the nature and habits of bees, knowledge
which has cost him years of close and careful
observation. We commend this hive to those
who raise honey, and who would always have
it within their reach, and especially to those
who like TO study the habits and economy Of
the curious and busy bee. County Journal.

Fatal Peep into Mount Vesuvius.


oome eermans of good family, on a recent
occasion, had toiled to the summit of kfount
Fesuvlus, and after resting themselves on that
sulphurous bed, they descended the s,eep in
cline to the mouth of the crater. and the scien-
ti6c gentlemen began to get into danger with
out being aware of it. The guides having
had quite enough of soft ashes and hard work
in the ascent, sat down on the upper rim Of
the crater, not feeling inclined for more exer-
tion. So many people had gone to peep into
this chimney Of the internal regions, day after
day, without an accident, that these lazy
guides preferred some sour wine, and slice
or two Of lemon sprinkled over with salt, a
very common comestible amongst the lower
orders of Neapolitans, and a little siesta, 10
looking after the souls and bodies Of those en-
trusted to them. One of the most adventurous
of the Germans, finding he could bear the lit
tie sulphur which seemed emitted from the
crater, resolved to penetrate further; but he
had scarcely placed his foot upon an apparent
ly solid projection, when the whole crum-
bled.beneath him, and he was precipitated at
least one hundred feet. The interior of the
crater seems TO be as soft as the exterior, for
the first words heard from the unfortunate man
were, that 'he was not hurt In vain he tried
to extricate himself; whatever he seized,
smouldered in his grasp. He could not re-
gain his feei--of this his companions above
were informed. They seemed to have become
more stupefed than the unfortunate victim !;
for instead of despatching the guides to the
Observatory or Hermitage tor ropes, or assis-
tance of some kind, they stood listening to
going elsewhere than where they remained
useless and spell bound. There is everything
in Naples but what is required and at the
Observatory, although ropes must always be
in request, and at least, a precautionary utili-
ty, yet none could be obtained either there or
at the Hermitage; and the guides were oblig-
ed TO go TO Resina for that which ought al
ways TO be at hand. In the meantime, the
sulphur began to operate upon the poor fellow
in the crater, and he felt himself gradually
sinking not only in strength, but in position.
With wonderful selfcommand, he took leave
of his friends, being perfectly certain he could
not survive the natural dilatory delay of Nea-
politans. For two long hours did he survive,
when his voice got feebler and feebler. Per-
haps as he by slow degrees slid deeper and
deeper into the crater, hope gradually van
ished-and The voice was entirely lost. An
occasional groan was heard, until after the
expiration of the above time, when all was
silent. The body was many hours after res
cued by guide, who descended two hundred
feet before he found it. Of course, it was per-
fectly lifeless,-the sulphur had suffocated the
poor fellow.

left the room, however, his clothes ,cere almost
longer he would have been victim to the
flames.
We have heretofore published the circum-
stances of the poor widow who was out in the
city somewhere doing days work at wash
ing. Ascertaining that her house was on fire,
she rushed home and found her little children
huddled together in closet, almost suffocated
with the smoke. She escaped, and by the
mercy of God, saved her children. How
many other mothers were equally lucky can
not be told. We have been told of another
incident. A party of some fifteen Irish women
and children, were in one room. The fire
was gaining on them, and death looked near.
Two of the men determined to try to escape.
They rushed into the street.-the yell was
raised by the mob, and one of them was shot
down. The other was wounded, but fled, and
ultimately escaped. While the attention of
the mob was directed to these two, some of
the others also escaped, but how many sue
ceeded cannot be ascertained. The ashes of
some of those women and children may now
be mingled with the ruins of Quinn's row.
Another incident. Some twelve or fifteen
lrishmen were in one ofthe cellars. The GEL
lar was already on fire, when one of them at
tempted TO escape. He put his head out of
the window, but afraid to 60 out, he still lin
gered with his body partly out of the window
He was discovered by some humane person
and rescued but his legs and the lower part
of his body were so burned that he could not
walk, and had to be carried away. What be-
came of the two other men who were in the
cellar with him he does not know, but he
thinks they aoere all burned up.
These are few of the incidents of Quinn's
row. They show the dread extremity in
which the inmates of those buildings were
placed. Death by the pistol was before them,
and death by fire if they remained, was GER
tain; and yet many fingered, hoping that
something would nterpose to save them, until
doubtless, they fell, suffocated with heat and
smoke, and were consumed with the burning
buildings. George D. Prentice had provided
well that his victims should not.escape. His
command to fire, was but too well obeyed
and the souls of, oh, how many were sent to
the judgment seat of God, for that mercy
which their fellow men refused them.-Louis-
uiHe Times.
