a Terrible Experience of Iwo MaIiia:
Boatmen SeAr ape Split.


HALIFAX, N. S., August 2S.-A terrible
story is that told by George Gardiner, a
fisherman, who, with his companion Peter
Dakin, was caught in the whirlpool Of the
Basin Of Minas, near Cape Split. The two
men were in dory, pulling in their nets,
and triited nearer the whirlpool than they
meant to. However, they took to their
oars, Iand, putting all their strength into
each stroke, they were making fair pro-
gr ess toward safe place, when DAkln's
wrist suddenly gave out, and the boat float
ed into the dangerous place aud capsized.
Gardiner caught on q net buoy, but in q
moment both men were sucked down to q
great depth, and Gardiner says that the
weight Of water upon him was fairly pain
full. Then they both rose again, and as
Gardiner was about to advise Dakin what
TO do to save himself, they both went down
again. That time, says the rescued man,
they were both sure that their time had
come, but, almost sufocated, they arose
once more. =.
When below Gardiner had q full view OF

After coming to the surface Of the second

breath or two when they were sucked down
into the third. Gardiner nearly perished
while under the surface this time, but as.
cending again he found his companion
near him. He spoke TO him, but found
that he was already dead, having sudocated
while beneath the surface. Gardiner sue

Stories ofDlssrsss and suffering.

New YoRE, August 2s.-At about ten
minutes to four this afternoon, people who
were in the neighborhood OF the foot o
Fourteenth street and North river wert
startled by the sound offs explosion coming
from the direction Of the river. Looking
out to midsrcam they saw the Hudson
steamer Riverdale enyeloped in steam. In
less than six minutes aiterward she keeled
TO one side and capsized opposite Sixteenth
street, she having hoated that far.
Instantly about fifteen different tugs
steamed from this city and Hoboken to
where the sunken vessel lay. There were
over 100 passengers on board the River.
dale when she left the foot of Harrison
street. Some OF these were hurled into the
air and then fell back into the water,
others were compelled to jump into the
river to escape the Kissing, scaiding steam
that had filed all pats of the vessel, or TO
avoid going down with her.
CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
The cause OF the disaster was the explo-
sion Of a boiler which was amidshipa.
When the boiler burst the air was filed
with flying debris and broken woodwork,
and the pilot house snapped like pipe
stem and topped over into the water.
About so people lost their lives, some being
blown into eternity, and others met their
deaths by being drawn down with the
whirlpool caursed by the sinking OF the
vessel. Those who were floating or swim
ming about in the river were picked up BY
the tug. and rowboats that came to the
rescue. The dead bodies werealso brought
in by boats. Mrs. Sifstn, Of Tarrytown, n.

taken to the morgue; boy whose identity

Interesting Facts About Bee Culture and an
Important Discovery.
A great quantity Of honey is made in
Sussex and the adjoining counties. The
principal producers are Mr.. L. l.. Bah
cock. of Vernon. Sussex county. and Mr..
Wisner Utter, of Amity, Orange county,
N. Y. The production of honey this year
will not be as large as was anticipated,
the season having been too wet The bees
had an early and good start in the Spring
on apple, peach, pear aud cherry blossoms,
and more recently worked on Eastwood
berries and sumac. During the past month
they should have been actively working
on white clover. The latter has been
plentiful, but the season has been so wet
that this flower has not yielded its usual
harvest OF sweetness, and, as a conse-
quence, the bees Of late have been nearly
idle, except in the work of making wax
which is the employment of bees during
idle seasons-and the slight work which
they have been enabled to do on other
flowers. Buckwheat is now coming on,
and they will soon be busily engaged in
culling the harvest which the blossoms of
this plant yield. The best honey is made
from Eastwood.
The bees last Winter did well. During
the previous Winter many persisted from
cold, Mr. Babcock, of Sussex county,
lost of his more than 70 colonies all ex.
cept two. Last year he increased these
by purchase and swarmiug to 40. Thi.
Summer they swarmed very numerously
and he now has nearly 100 colonies. From
some hives two and three swarms camt
out, and had he not checked them hi
would have had 40 or so addtiona
swarms. From one hive there went GU
two swarms, and yet he has removed Al
pounds of honey from the skip. This il
considered remarkable. He has thus fa
received from his hives 1000 pounds o
honey this season. He has the native
the Italian and the Cypress bee. The lat
ter he considers the best of all, not tina
it makes more honey than the Italian
but that it is SO much holder and will pro
tect its hive from intruders so effectively
that it seldom loses any honey by thiev
ing bees 1t is worth third more thar
the native bee for this reason.
A discovery which Mr.. Babcock claim.
to have made is of great interest 1t i.
the cell, and not the egg, that determine.
the sex of the bee. This SUNNI or, wish
| ing TO stop the excessive swarm ing from
one particular hive, he cut from the combs
all the queens, leaving those for the drone,
and neuters. Soon afterward he discov-
cred that the bees were converting some
of the neuter cells into queen cells, the
egg that had been previously laid in each
for neuter. He let the bees go ahead
When the time came Tor Matching out the
eggs he cut out the cells, and they hatch
ed out queens while he was watching
them. Two days before these queens
were hatched out he heard the queens
calling each other. This is something
that he had never before noticed
