A correspondent writes to us discrediting the
late reported discoveries of Edison, as copied
In TIE STAR yesterday from the N. Y Times
In regard to the alleged discoveries Of great
quantities OF platinum and iridium, our CORE
spondent says 1t is well known that every ounce
OF these metals Is worth many times It's weight
In gold; hence II there were any truth la the
assertion. the lucky discoverer would not need
to sweat and bother any longer In his labora-
tory, over the electric light, for the new dis
covery would be worth to him more than q
monopoly OF the light for half a dozen
worlds. Further, II 1t were true as
claimed that immense deposits of these
precious metals had been found, and that
Edison had succeeded In rendering them inde-
structible by heat, the fact would be of no
earthly importance or value to Edison; because
Hit was practicable to use those substances in
rdeuo to produce light by electricity, the right
10 DO so seems TO be fully covered and secured
by W. E. Sawyer by U. s. patent No. POS, IA, is
sued June 18th, 1873. and which any body can
find at the Patent Office, recorded In volume
100. Our correspondent thinks the bulletins
from Menlo Park, In regard to the electric light
at least, should not be counted as fixed facts.

Charles Kaiser, who has the only hive
Of bees in town, says that. when he first
rot his colony, his old eats curiosity
was much excited in regard 10 the do
ings Of the little insects, the like of which
she had never before seen. At first she
watched their comings and goingS at a
distance. She then ilattened herself
upon the ground and crept along toward
the hive, with tail horizontal and quiyer-
ing. II was clearly evident that she
thought the bees some new kind Of game
Finally she took up position at the
entrance to the hive, and, when bee
came in or iarted ont. made dab at it
with her paws. This went on for atimc
without attracting the attention II the
inhabitants II the hive.
Presently. however, old Tabby struck
and crushed bee on the edgc ~ the
opening 10 the hive. The smell If the
crushed bee alarmed ami cnraged the
whole colony. Bees by the score poured
forth and darted into the fur of the as
tonishcd cat. Tabby rolled herself in
the grass, splitting. spluttering. biting,
clawing, and squalling a = cat never
squallcd before. She appeared a mere
ball Of fur and bees. She was At length
hauled away from the hive with gar
den rake, at cost Of several stings to
her rescuer. Even after she had been
been taken to distant part Of the
grounds the bees stuck Ia Tabby's fur,
and about once in two minutes she would
utter and uncarthly ..yowl- and bounce
full yard into the air. Two on three
days after the adventure Tabby was
caught by her owner, who took her by
the neck and threw her down near the
bee hive. No sooner did she strike the
ground than she gave squall, and az a
single bound reached the top Of the
fence, full six feet in height. There she
chung for moment, with a tail as big
