BEE TREES "A gentleman has informed
the editor of the San Jose Tribune. that
while roaming in the mountains on the west
ern side Of that valley, not far from the
Santa Cruz gap, he discovered a swarm of
wild bees, working in an oak tree. This is
probably the first bee tree that has ever been
found in California, but from the fact that
quite q number of smarms have, from time
to time, escaped from the several apiaries
in the neghborhcoi, and wended their way
toward the hills, and from the very favora-
nature Of our climate, and the unprecedent-
ed rapidity with which swarms will increase
and multiply here, it is altogether probable
that in very few years our woods will be
tolerable well stocked with them.

IMPORTANT POLITICAL DECISION. --Th Q
British Government has recently made an
important decision in relation to the allegi
ance of British subjects and the correlative
obligation of protection. When it is recol-
leeted how closely the doctrine of perpetual
allegiance was connected with the practice
of impressment of English seamen from Am
erican vessels, which partly led to the war
of 1912, the remuneration Of the doctrine
must be viewed as Of national moment. The
case in regard to which the decision is made,
is that of Mr.. Lawless, merchant Of Gran-
ada, and non. .combatant in the late Mica
raguan troubles. He was dragged out Of
his house and shot by the Gautemalans when
the took Granada lie was formerly Brit
ish subject, but became naturalized citi-
zen of the United States. His mother ap-
piled to the British Government for compen-
sation for the loss Of her sons life and pro-
perty. The reply wss that he had rcnounc-
ed his allegiance by becoming a citizen Of
the United States, and was not entitled to
British protection.
