Ree-HuBting in Australia.

In Australia, the native adopts very peou-
liar plan for discovering wild honey. He
knows that bees never wander very far from
home-seldom more than two miles and he
also knows that when bee is laden with hon.
ey it makes, as nearly as possible, straight
line for home. All that is necessary then, Is
to find bee that is well laden and follow it.
But that is more easily said than done. Any
boy who has tried to follow q big and gay
colored bumble-bee to its nest knows how
great task 1t is. But that is q mere trife to
following the sober little honey-bee, which
can be lost, like a dream, against gray
oolored hill side. In order to be followed,
the bee must have distinguishing mark that
can be easily seen and with such q badge
the Australian provides it. He gums q small
tuft of white cotton to the bees back, and
thus follows it with comparative ease.
But the question now comes up, how Is the
cotton to be put upon the bees back2 The
gum is quickly found-it is on almost any
tree the cotton grows right at hand. The
bee, too, is found in almost any sweet flower,
buried head first in the dusty pollen, drinking
in the nectar and showing quite plainly wheth-
or its honey-sac is full or empty. 1t moves Q
little in its eager haste to secure the delicious
liquid, but perhaps a quick dab will fasten
the cotton on its baok.-Do not try 1t. As
the little boy told his mother, the bee Is
very "quick kicker"
Watch the Australian, and he is q very
stupid fellow, too, in most things. He fills
his mouth with water, has his snowy tuft OF
cotton ready gummed, finds his bee, gently
drenches 1t with water spurted from his
mouth, picks II up while it is still Indignantly
shaking itself free from the water that clogs
its wings, and with dexterous touch afixes
in an instant the tell-tale cotton.

DEATH OF CARDINAL MoCLosKEY. John
McOloskey, Roman Catholic archbishop Of
New York, the hrst and so far the only Amer
can cardinal, died early last Saturday morn
ing at the episcopal residence beside st. Pat
rick's cathedral, being in his 10th year and
the sd Of his priesthood. Thus departs a
prelate Of singular discretion, high honor
and constant and untiring devotion, who in
his labors for the spread Of the Roman faith
and the building and prosperity of its insti-
tutions, never antagoniZed other faiths or
made an enemy, who was the harmonizer
and fnisher Of the rough pioneer work done
by his predecessor, John Hughes, and who
was known 10 his friends-incuding many of
our best men and women not in the Catholic
oommunion-As one of the most scholarly,
accomplished and courtly Of gentlemen.
John McOloskey's parents were immigrants
from the north of ireland, and he was born
In Brooklyn, then q small village without one
Catholic church, on the goth of March, 1910.
His early education was obtained at Q pri-
vats school in New York, and thence he went
to Emmettsburg, Md, to the ecclesiastical
seminary of Mt. st. MaTy's, then the only
institution Of the sort in the United States.
He was made q priest in 1884, bishop in
1874, and succeeded John Hughes as arch
bishop of New York In 1864. He was pre-
conized cardinal March 10, 1875. One Of
his principal cares has been the building OF
the imposing and beautiful st. Patrick's ca
thedral on Fifth avenue He presented to
the cathedral its altar, episcopal throne, pull
pit and bsptismal font, and 1t is related of
him that among his economies In order 10
make this gift he sold his horses and carriage,
although his never strong health rendered
them almost q necessity. He began breaking
down in 1879, soon after the cathedral was
dedicated. and has since been In a allow de-
cline with shaking palsy.

THE Ex-EApREss OARLoTTA recently cele-
brated the 45th anniversary of her birth, and
il was then announced that marked mental
and physical improvement had taken place.
The physician who has charge of the unfor-
tunRte lady now reports that he can find no
basis for hope that she will have any perma-
nent recovery from her mslady. He says she
has persistent delusion that MaximiliAn is
alive, that he is working out brilliant desti-
ny, and that be will soon be emperor Of the
whole world. She spends much of her time
In searching for him In the rooms and gar
dens of her chateau At BonohAnt. In her
oalmer moods she holds receptions. These
are limited to the ladies of the Belgian court,
and toward these the empress maintains an
extremely digniaed and imperial mien. One
phase of Carlotta's insanity is remarkable
She has conceived violent passion for max
ing frequent purchases of costly court Co.'S
tunes. She Is permitted to indulge this pas
sion, and, as she buys with exquisite taste,
the costumes are subsequently sold, generally
without loss, and often with great profit, 10
ladies Of high social standing.

Tho.e clever GreeLs.

II you turn a book upside down and look
at the letters, every will seem much smaller
at the bottom than at the top, although when
the book is properly held both halves appear
the same size 10 the eye.
The upper part Of the type that prints .he
letter is made smaller than the lower half
to correct the fault Of the eye, which always
slightly exaggerates the former. When the
letter is turned over, this same trick OF the
sight makes the difference seem greater than
it really is and, Of course, we're Il Of the
same width all the way It would still look un-
even.
In greater matters, the false report of the
eye is greater. II tapering monument, like
that on Bunker Hill or like the obelisk in
Central Park, were made with perfectly
straight sides, 1t would look to us-for, you
see, we really cannot trust our own eyes-as
IL II we're followed in q little; OF, az we should
say in more scientific language, its sides would
appear concavs.
Those clever Greeks, who did so many
wonderful things in art, thought all this out,
and made their architecture upon principles
so subtle and so comprehensive that we have
never been able to improve on them since.
They found that their beautiful Dorio COL
umns, IL made with straight sides, had the
concave effect OF which have spoken; and
so, with the most delicate art In the world,
they made the pillar swell little at the mid
die, and then It appeared exactly right.
This swelling of the column at its middle
was called entdSis. OF course 1t had to be
calculated with the greatest nioety, and was
actually so very slight that II can only be de-
teoted by delicate measurements but II add
ed greatly TO the beauty Of the ooluTans and
to their effectiveness.
Then the lines which we're 10 look horizon
tai had to receive attention. If you look at o
long, perfectly level line-Rs the edge of a
roof, for instance-it has the appearance of
sagging towards the middle. The Greek ar
chiteot corrected this fault by making his
lines rise little. The front of the Partition
on, at Athens, is 1O1 feet 81 inches long, and
in this the rise from the horizontal is about
"a inches. In other words, there is q ourvs-
ture upward that makes ii Q little more than
two inches higher in the centre than at the
ends and the effect of this swelling upward
is to make the lines appear perfectly level.
Indeed, this same Parthenon-the most beau
tiful building in the world-when delicately
and carefully measured was found TO be eve
rywhere made q little incorrect, so that 1t
might appear right-which is certainly what
may be called an architectural paradox. The
graceful columns, which seem TO stand 80
straight, are made to lean inward little,
since, IL they were perfectly true and plumb,
they would have the effect of leaning out
ward. The pillars at the corners slant inward
more than the others, and everywhere the
corners are made to look square by being in
truth little broader-angled, and lines are
curved in order that they shall appear straight
to the eye.-Oetober 81. Nicholas.

Few people have any idea of the labor that
bees have TO expend in the gathering of hon
ey. Here Is calculation which will show
how industrious the "busy" bee really is.
Let us suppose the insects oonhns their at
tsntion to clover fields. Each head of clover
contains about sixty separate flower tubes, In
each OF which is a portion of sugar not ex-
ceeding the hve-hundreth part Of g grain.
Therefore, before one grain of sugar can be
got, the bee must insert It's proboscis in 500
clover tubes. Now there are I, 900 grains in a
pound, so that it follows that 8, 800, 900 olo-
yer tubes must be sucked In order to obtain
but one pound Of honey.

Prefcrrins His Own Horn.

At popular boarding house in Win
ter street many years ago soJourned q
bachelor gentleman of cultivation and
prcpossessing appearance, but addicted
to one disagreeable habit. He would,
while sitting either at the breakfast,
dinner or tea table, deliberately draw
forth his old-fashioned bandana hand
kerchief, and applying it to his probos-
els, produce noise which would over
whelm the sound of an ordinary fish
horn. 1t was great annoyance to his
fellow-boarders, and as he appeared in
sensible to the disagreeable results of
his performances, it was resolved to give
him gentle hint that the company had
heard enough. One morning small
but nicely-fnished tin horn, with note
attached, was discovered on his plate.
All the boarders were in state of ex-
pectancy. In walked the gentleman,
seated himself, and apparently sur
prised, inspected the horn and then read
the note. The effect was magical. He
rushed from the table to his room, and
in the course of the day babe farewell
to the house. The note was a sugges-
ton that, for variety's sake, he would
adopt the little horn for table perform
