A Bad Season for Bees.

Richard Darl, of Ripon, the most ex-
tensive apiarist in the State, has lost
forty-three swarms out of one hundred
and four, and thinks the loss was caused
by the mild weather in February, which
created dampness in the cellar, as the
swarns were healthy and had an abrnd-
ance of honey to feed on. He has
never experienced such percentage Of
loss before, except in 1871, when it was
caused by disease, and even then the
difference was not materially greater.
He has gathered up about six bushels of
dead bees from his cellar, as the result
OF this winters loss. Other bee men re-
port about the same percentage Of loss
for the past winter. Evening Wiscon-

The Greatest of Rifles.

In spite of the familiarity with great
cannon which the advances in gun con-
struction of late years have produced,
the experiments with the 100-ton gun of
the italian Government have not failed
to awaken general interest and wonder.
It fires a 2,000-pound shell, and charge
of 240 pounds of powder is but portion
Of what the gun will bear. These light
charges have to be used if the penetra-
tive effects Of the gun under unfavorable
conditions are to be studied, for with it's
full charge the weapon simply destroys
anything that is put before it. Compar-
ative results cannot be obtained when the
only effect is complete ruin. It is some
what remarkable that an over-confident
iron founder should have chosen this
weapon to test once more the value of
c0st-iron for defensive armor. His idea
was that armor could be made so hard by
chilling the surface that the shot would
be broken to pieces upon it, and expert
ments with a good iron and guns of small
caliber had encouraged the hope. But a
2,000-pound shell and 400 pounds Of
powder in the 100-ton gun proved anew
the unftness of this material for armor-
plating. The shot had a velocity Of
|, 494 feet per second, and it smashed
through an 8-inch plate Of wrought iron,
wood layer, and q 14-inch plate of
chilled cast-iron. The ruin produced
was greater than in any other experiment,
the cast-iron breaking into fragments.
The power of this gun, the greatest rife
ever made, is such that a solid 22-inch
plate of the best English wrought-iron
is completely penetrated by it's shot,
