Professor Proctor says there is no life in
other worlds" except perhaps in the satalites
of Saturn and Jupiter. This, If a correct
hypothesis, fixes forever the question of the
man in the moon, and leaves the "rings" Of
Saturn with no responsible bosses in charge.
The Labor Reform League-the red-eyed
communists--of Boston at recent meeting
lauded the tramps as the only honest men of
America, and sent warning to Chicago that
the time is not for distant when she will again
wake up and find herself in ashes, all ofwhich
helps 10 kill the Labor Reform League.
The New York Herald is quite as tickle as
canyon zephyr. Some time ago 1t urged, in
the most positive terms, the recognition of
Cuban independence; now 1t presents very
cold shoulder to the patriots, which makes an
impression upon the mind in which the jingle
of Spanish ducats seems to be audible.
The business outlook of the country Is
promising. Merchants begin to feel that they
are on more solid ground. The credit Of all
dealers througout the country is stronger and
better than It has been since the eventful days
of 1873, when it looked so much as though
general ruin was to reign.

of there being in the political party platforms Of
the future q sentiment Of opposition by the party
depending most upon sectarian influence and votes
for success America cannot well afford to be
drawn into the vortex Of ecclesiastical controVer-

q Republic founded upon purely secular basis.
the political organizations responsible to the
whole people for a faithful and honest adminis-

The Southern turpentine trees are diff
ferent from our Northern pine. What
is called "crude turpentine is the raw
sap as it runs from the tree. a Jackson
vile Ella paper thus describes the pro-
cess of distiling the ''spirits of turpen-
tines"
The crude turpentine put in the bar
rels in the orchard is brought by wagon
to the still to be converted into spirits of
turpentine and rosin. The still is an
oval copper vessel, with cover and spout
something in the shape of an old-fash-
Toned iron teakettle, with spout from the
cover. This still is enclosed in brick,
with ire-chamber under it.
The size varies according to the extent
of the business, from ten to thirty bar
rels capacity. The crude turpentine is
poured in. the cover fastened, and tho
distilling commences. Adjoining and
near the still is cistern or tub filed
with water. In this tub coil or worm
of copper tubing is set; at the top the
pipe is connected with the still the
other or lower end of the worm passes
out of the tube.
After some little time the vapor arising
from the heated gum in the still passes
out, up and through the spout into the
worm, where, by the cold water, it is
condensed, and the spirits flow out,
mixed with the water (also condensed
from the steam), into small tub, and
then, turpentine being lighter than
water, is dipped from the top and put in
to barrels for shipment.
Ro8isa is the substance that is left at
the bottom after Disabling, and is drawn
off and run through strainers, and then
poured into barrels, where it hardens.
Tar is what runs out Of the wood of the
old, exhausted pines when they are cut
up and burned In : smothered fire.
Pitch is mixture of tar and rosin.

camel's hair pencils, odors especially re-
pugnant to them. When held near the
mouth, the bee started back, as if an
noyed. On one occasion he mixed cam
phor with honey, which they especially
dislike by some means they managed
to separate and remove all the honey,
leaving the canphor untouched.
The sense which seems to be most per
feet in these little creatures is that of
touch, and that seems to reside wholly
In the antennae. Greetings, caresses,
and the communication of intentions are
always effected, by one bee towards an
ether, by crossing their antennae. It
must be remembered that no light enters
q hive under ordinary circumstances.
"The bee,'' says Huber, " constructs
its comb in darkness it pours its honey
into the magazines, feeds its young,
judges of their age and necessities, recog-
nizes its Queen, all by aid of its anten-
nae, which are much less adapted for be-
coming acquainted with objects than our
hands Therefore shall we not grant to
this sense notifications and projections
unknown to the touch of man"

Curious Facts About Bees.

Bees are very curious creatures, and
the following facts, ascertained by Huber,
will be read with interest. They refer
to the senses of those wonderful insects:
The senses of bees was the next sub
ject of investigation, and we will give,
In brief, the results which Huber
reached. The lenses of the bees eyes
are not adjustable; and, though they
can see accurately to great distances,
they seem blind to objects close by.
Bees dart down to the door of their hives
with precision which is generally uner
ring but, if from any cause they miss
the opening, they are obliged to rise in
the air, in order to take another obserYa-
ton.
IF bees hear-which is q doubtful
question, the old-fashioned hanging
to the contrary-they certainly hear only
what affects their welfare. Their sense
of taste is also far from perfect, foul
ditch-water being often preferred by
them to impid streams, or even dew,
and il-smelling plants having quite as
much attraction as sweet ones. It is the
quantity, rather than the quality of their
food, for which they care. They are
also iona OF the S6CrolOH Oh tHo UpTt61oo3
the mich cattle of the ants.
Their sense of smell is very keen the
presence of honey they detect, even in
fhe most carefully concealed places.
Honey bees often, in scarce seasons. at
tack the humble bees on their return
from the fields, laden with honey, and
force them to disgorge all they have col
lected. It's presence In the honey-bag
must have been detected by the sense of
smell
The seat of this sense is Id the mouth;
this Huber determined by presenting
successfully TO all parts of the body, on

Cremation on a Grand Scale.

More than tour years ago young Hin
doc Prince, only %, who ruled over one
of the most extensive provinces in India,
and was strong ally of Great Britain,
stopping at one of the Florence hotels,
on his way home from London to his ma
tive country, was taken sick and died af
ter short illness. He Was attended by
o numerous suite, who, to show their
grief for the loss of their beloved prince,
astonished the Italians by their mysteri
ons Oriental funeral ceremonies. On
the night of the LIST of December, 1870,
on the very spot where his monument
now stands, they prepared the pile upon
which they performed the rite of burning
the dead body of their ruler. They
mixed with large quantities OF wood I'M
mense compounds of camphor and odor-
Gus ointments, upon which robed In his
splendid vestments, and surrounded by
his most precious and personal orna-
ments, they laid the remains OF the
young Raiah. The pile was lighted
about midnight, and burned till near
morning. The venerable Brahm1n dl-
rected the ceremony, and, mingling his
prayers with those of other faithful serv-
ants, made the groves resound with
their lamentations. At break of day the
ashes of the Prince were collected into a
golden vase, which now rests Id the
sacred temple of his native India. In
June of 1874 the English government
erected a splendid monument to his
on the spot where his body was
burned. -Sp9SaQfeL Republican.
