Curious Freaks of Bees.

c. w. Dayton, of Bradford, Iowa.
writes to the american Bee Journal
Early in the season of 1888, as soon as
the young bees began to play freely be-
fore the hives on sunshiny days, Noticed
on the ground before one hive that
there remained large number of bees
that did not get back into the hive. Al
this time there were bees scattered
about two or three rods from the hive,
but not more than three or four in any
one place. About the middle of the
summer superseded the queen in that
colony and this in due time ended all
peculiar actions of the bees until the
next spring, when, / found another colo.
ny in the same attitude, except that the
bees, when they remained out, did not
scatter themselves over so much ground,
but remained nearer the hive, and when
night came they huddled together in the
hollows in the ground, some of which
hollows contained quart or more of
dead bees that had accumulated there
in the course of q week or less. The
queen in this colony remained I'M
changed, and last spring Chat of 1880
two colonies of this kind were found,
both of which are now in winter quar-
tiers. The affected bees appear to be
just as well developed as any bees, but
they run from the hive generally hold
ing one wing out of place, as if it had
been broken or bent out of shape. The
bees do not seem to die because of af-
Fiction, but from exhaustion or the chill
of the night Notwithstanding the great
loss of bees from these colonies, the
queens were SO prolific as to build them
up to ordinary colonies, one of which
gathered about eighty pounds of honey.
In case of these colonies, while about
one-half of the bees appear as bees gen.
orally do, there is the other half that
show symptoms as described. LIDO not
mean to say that one half of the bees,
young or old, in these colonies at any
and all times are like those described,
but one-half of the bees which are of
the right age to take their first flight
are of this kind, and these, taken the
season through, would equal one
half of the bees Matched.

THE FINAL RESULT,

And Claim That Gladstone Will Go into

of Twcnty-Newspaper Comment -
Latest Election Returns - Foreign
Notes.
LONDON, July 5-Although election re.
turns thus far reported show the Conserva.
tives to be long way ahead, the Minis
terialiStS ara not dismayed. They claim
that the advantages which the Tories now
have is holly fictitious as the seats still
uncontested are those in fight for which
the Conservatives would be in a hopeless
minority on any issue. The Tories led
for several days last November, and
will doubtless do so In the present
struggle, but reports from the counties re-
ceiYed at the Liberal central Office show the
loyalty of the Liberal electors to be I'M
shaken. An analysis of the voting at Col
chester has caused feeling of alarm in the
Tory ranks as it proves that great many
Liberal Unionists instead of adhering to the
compact to vote the Tory ticket where there
was no Unionist candidate, abstained from
voting. If this practice is carried out with
anything like a general observance MIR.
Gladstonss victory is assured, as q
to neutralize the majority adverse to home
rule in the house OF commons, while gain
Ut twenty five would give the government a
working majority of ten. The Parnellitss
are very sangulne and profess to be able to
place the Nationalist vote in such . way
that the premier will 90 into the next
parliament with a majority Of twenty.
The Pail Mall Gazette Saturday after.
uoon, commenting on the parlia-
msntary election returns OF Fri

England has so far failed to work
the wonders promised by the Nationalist.
Mr.. T. P. O'Connor recently declared that
the Irish vote in England was a decisive
factor, but judging from the returns re-
ceived from Fridays pollings, his assertion
does not hold good. Out Of seventeen dis
tricts in which elections were held Friday,
and where the Irish were supposed to be nu.
mericaliy strong, the net result was
that the Irish voters turned
the scale in. two places only in favor of tho
Liberal candidates
The following Parnellite candidates have
been elected without opposition: DR.. Fox,
for the Fullamore division of Kings county
hlr P. Macdonald, for Sligo; Mr.. J..
Dsasy, for the western division of Mayo;

candidates have been elected
