BEES IN THE UNITED STATEs.-Thers
are two million bee.hives in the United
States. Every hive yields, on an aver.
age, a little over twenty pounds OF
honey. The average price at which
honey is sold is twenty-five cents a
pound. So that, after paying their
own board, our bees present us with q
revenue of over SS,SOO,OOO. To reckon
it another way, they make clear gift
of over pound of pure honey to every
man, woman, and child in the vast do
main of the United States. Over
twenty-three and one-third million
pounds of wax are made and given to
us by these industrious workers. The
keeping of bees is one of the most
profitable investments that our people
can make of their money. The profits
arising from the sale of surplus honey
average from fifty to two hundred pei
cent. Of the capital invested.

The Worst of Ants.

The worst insect pest of the tropical
America is the terrible fire ant NyT-
mica sgUiSsIDsG), whose sting is likened
to the puncture of a red-hot needle. 1t
is found only on sandy soils in open
places, and seems to thrive most near
houses, and in weedy villages. Towns
are sometimes deserted on account of
this little tormentOr. 1t is a species OF
a shining red color, not greatly differing
from the common red singing ant of
our own country, except that the pain
and irritation caused by its sting are
much greater. Where it abounds, the
whole soil is undermined by if +; the
ground is perforated with the entrances
to their subterranean galleries, and a
little sandy dome occurs here and there,
where the insects bring their young to
receive warmth near the surface. Homes
are oVerrun with them; they dispute
every fragment of food with the inhab-
itants, and destroy clothing for the sake
of the starch. All eatables have to be
suspended in a basket from the rafters.

ELEPHANT CATCHING.
How They Fill up Menageries
with Wild Beasts.

There was gentleman in this city a
few days ago whose lifeyarn is more
romantic than that of Sinbad the sailor
But unlike the great hero of the nursury,
the history of his life and his experience
in desert lands is not NEUROLOGICAL We
have reference to George SchmutZer, the
celebrated animal hunter and trader of
Central Africa, to whom we alluded last
Monday. This remarkable man has
been in the perilous business for seven
teen years, much of which time has
been passed by him in the wilderness re-
gions of the Upper Nile and its tributa-
ries. During the year just passed. Mr..
SchmutZer has been employed by the
great Snowman, Uncle John Robinson.
Mr.. Schmutzer started from New
York on the 14th of last October, and
went directly to Southampton, Eng,
where he took passage on a vessel bound
to SueZ via the Suez Canal. At the lat
ter place he shipped in an Egyptian
government vessel bound down the Gulf
of Suez and the Red Sea. His landing
place was Suakin, on the coast of Nubla,
not far from the northern boundary of
Abyssinia. Suakin is the place whence
he strikes into the interior on each trip.
AT this point he leaves civilization be-
hind him and turns his face towards the
jungles of Kassela and Hamoran. Yet
SO much of this animal traders life has
been spent throughout this region that it
can hardly be said that he is stranger
in strange land. Indeed, ne says, he
is more at home among the untutored
sons of Africa than with civilized Gin
cinnatians.
AT Suakin he hires six or seven camels
and as many servants, and, having laid

Journey is by no means sinecure, mas
much as the major part of it lies through

wants and camels necessary for this trip
are hired from Shek Egel who is the

servant and camels are changed for an
other set belonging to the Shek Mosel,
the ruling magnate of the country living
beyond kassela. 1t would not be per-
