WHY BEES WORK IN THE DARK
Every one knows what fresh honey Is,
a clear, yellow syrup, without any trace
of sugar in it. After straining 1t gra-
dually assumes a crystal appearance
it candies, as the saying is, and ulti-
mately becomes a solid mass Of sugar.
1t has been suspected that this change
has been due TO Photographic action;
the same agent which alters the MOLE
cular arrangement of the iodine OF sill
yer on the excited collodion plate, and
determines the formation of camphor
and iodine crystals in bottle, causes
honey to assume crystalline form.
Mr.. Scheiber lnclosed honey in we'll
corked TASKS, some of which he kept In
perfect darkness, while others were ex-
posed to light. The result has been
that the portion exposed to the light
soon crystalliZes. while that kept In the
dark remains unchanged. Hence, We
see why the bees are so careful to OBJ
scure the glass windows which are
sometimes placed in their hives. The
existence of the young depends on the
liquldity Of the saccharine food present
ed to them, and if light were allowed
access to this, in all probability 1t would
prove fatal to the inmates Of the hive.

FARM NOTES. :

THE CURcULIo. The difficulty OF
growing pIums, apricots, nectarines,
ETC., has been well known for half
century. The curculio makes cres-
cent-llke incision in the thin skin, de-
posting its egg, which matches out and
lives on the young fruit. causing it to
drop prematurely. The best remedies
are keeping fowls in the plum orchard;
and jarring down the insects on sheets
spread under the tree, striking a smart
blow with a mallet or hammer on the
end of small limb sawed off an inch or
so from the tree, or on spike driven
into the tree for the purpose. This jar
ring-down needs to be done every MORN
ing, killing the curculios which fall
down (they pretend to be dead at firstl;
and it does not take as much time as
one would think. DR.. Hull's remedy
is also of considerable value, and may
be used in connection with the fOrego-
ing. 1t is placing chips under the
trees, forming hiding places for the In
sects, where they can be found and kill
ed. The shaking must be begun early,
and continued until the fruit is fuD
grown.

THE NATIONAL CRIME.
THE uNRlGHTEoUS USE OF OTHER
PEOPLES MONEY.

A Column of Scoundrels Who Were
Trusted lSo Implicitly-A Chicago
Thief of Course Caps the Climax and
Gets Away with Nearly Half Million
Other Irregularities.
\ CHICAGO, Oct lin. NJ Neeld, partner
in the well-known packing house of j. C.
ferguson & Co., is in Canada. He has issued
bogus warehouse receipts for people aggre-
= eating 100000. He has practically burst
his firm. The loss viii fall altogether on the
banks, Si00, 900 on single New York bank.
THE banks here who lose by it," said a
prominent director ARE all rich and will not
know the loss. The worst loss is ON New
York institution. Neeld left for Canada
Thursday night and no one has heard from
him.
A dead loss of $500, 900 is the heaviest that
she Chicago banks have had in their history,
for this loss is without any hope Of security.
The British Bank of North America is said to
be ON the list for $4,000
The fact that Neeld's partner, young Fer
guSon, did not know of the defalcatlon IS cor
sidered remarkable by those who did no
know the methods of the firm. But there
no one who is familiar with Neeld
and his management who believes that
Ed Ferguson knew, until perhaps
within day or 50, anything of the crooked
ness of his sisters husband There were GER
tain of the banks who We're preparing to ar
est young Ferguson Saturday morning; but
is universally believed that the step will
e only Il cruel one and is altogether unJustl-
fed. Neeld, the fugitive, was q big man
physically and assumed the whole manage
ment 1t is undoubtedly true that Ed Fur
guson within week or so must have known
of the enlightenment; but it was so late that
there was no help for it then except to try
: and save the firm if possible. That was not
possible
Neeld was a SPECTATOR on a large scale.
He was all the while in stocks and his losses
there were heavy He was a bull on provi-
sions during the last whirl when it was sup
posed that Armour was running a corner,
and must have been a terrific sufferer. There
was nothing but amazenent on the board of
trade and in bank circles all da y long.
The method of the fraud was this: He is
sued receipts to the banks OH the pork, meat,
and lard in the Ferguson house at the stock
yards to the amount of about S4Q0,0OO. On
these he borrowed money from the banks.
A share of the firms banking was done
in New York, and for that reason about
100000 is owned at one institution there.
The First National is among the heavy suf-
ferers here. The firm banked there. Last
month Neeld sold the stuff in his ware
houses over again to other parties
and got the money on that 1t is
said by man who went through the ware
houses Friday night: There is not meat
enough left to grease a wheel to represent
those 100000 of receipts Neeld was here
up to Thursday noon. 1t was known three
days az 0 that the firm was in trouble. No
crookedneSs was suspected until Friday, when
. bank, alarmed at not finding Neeld, tried
TO attach property on which they held re-
eeipts and found no property there

In Trouble and Missing.

NEW YORK, Oct. Thames Fl. Blauvelt,
prominent figure in the financial world
here for twenty-five years, has become in
volved and mysteriously disappeared. Mr..
Blauvelt was the agent of the Union Mutual
Insurance company for several yesrs, and his
wealth is estimated at 100000 He is a
member of the produce exchanges, general
manager of the Halle Gold-Mining company,
and director of the Chatham National
bank. Last Monday he told his partner, Mr..
Judd, that he was greatly worried about
financial matters. He went away and has
not been seen since. The first intimation that
Blauvelt was involved came from an attach
ment suit brought by Hegeman & Co. on q
5000 note against his bank account. Mrs.
Blauvelt, at her palatial home in Blauvet-
vile, Rockland county, is very much dis
tressed Detectives and friends are search
ing for the missing man.

ILLINOIS STATE CONTRACTS.
Printing Awarded to Rocker & Co. Of
Springfield-The Coal Contract.

Printing Awarded to Rocker & Co. Of
springfeld-The Coal Contract.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Oct. 11-Political and
business cir cles here are considerably exer-
cised over the letting of the state con tracts
for coal and printing, which occurred fort
night ago. The competition for the state
printing has for years and years been so
sharp that the work has been done at very
low figures; in fact, some of the old-time
contractors have lost considerable money in
carrying out their agreements This time,
however pool was formed, and one firm
bagged the entire contract. It was awarded
to h w. Rocker & Co. Mr.. Rocker is
well-known job printer in this city. It viii
be seen, therefore, the parties in interest
wisely pooled their issues, the Democratic
and Republican papers agreeing to do their
part of the work, and, by purity of reason
ing reap the benefit accruing therefrcm. The
contract aggregates nearly S7S, 600, or almost
twice as much as has ever before been paid for
the work
The letting of the coal contract was rather
amusing. The local coal companies COM
bined, putting in bid of 1925 per ton for
soft COAL an outsider made an offer of %. 81.
Some mischievous fellow told a representa-
tive of the coal people that it had been I'M
derbid. Late in the night before the day Of
the letting of the contract the coal people
withdrew their bid Of 1928 and filed one of
s165 per ton. They received the contract,
as, indeed, they would have done, as their
first bid was the lowest ON file. They have
beaten themselves out Of 80 cents per ton on
all the coal used in the state house for the en-
suing two years, and this difference amounts
to very large sum.

To Establish Councils in Ireland.

LONDON, Oct. lit is asserted by The
Daily News that the government has bill
in course of preparation by which four coun-
ellis are to be established in Ireland for the
purpose of lcgiSlating for the four provinces
of that country. The councils are to deal
with all Irish matters that are now dealt
with at Westminster and fully meets the ex-
pressed desires of the Parnellites so far as the
direction of Irish affairs is concerned, except
that it does not provide for a parliament at
Dublin Lord Harrington, it is said, cheer
fully supports it. The News expresses he
belief that Mr.. Chambe is the real author
of the scheme, and that the Parnellites will
reject the bill with contempt. Commenting
editorially on this bill The News says: The
government are sanguine that they can carry
the bill 1t is possible that many liberals

His Relatives Are Rich.

NEW YORK, Oct. II The World says that
Latimer E. Jones, the controlling spirit of
the recently established Lumber Auction
company" is in financial trouble
The company was started with a great
flourish and its dashing business methods
struck terror to the hearts of conservative
lumber merchants, and threatened to ruin
their. old fogy trade. The offices of the con-
Germ in Eleventh avenue were fitted up in
elegance, regardless of expense Jones, who
Is not 80 years of age, was credited with I'M
limited wealth. Suddenly it turned out that
lis bank account was overdrawn. Sheriffs have
seized his household effects and are
threatening the property of the Lumber Auc-
ton company. A wealthy lawyer named
Ludington, who had taken great fancy to
the brilliant young fnancier, has Endorsed
his paper largely and is said to be responsible
for part of the $500, 900 worth of notes that
Jones is supposed to have got discounted. It
is also said to have been found that most of
this paper is fictitious, having been made in
Nthe mes of persons and firms that never
exisL.I. Mr.. Ludington is Investigating the
matter and as Jones' relatives are rich, says
The World, there may be compromise of
Ludipgton's claims.

eve hope it is all the result of bad bookkeep-

twenty years, and is now 70 years old. He
has been leading merchant, and was held
in nigh esteem up to the time OF his retire
ment from office. 1t then became known to

proceeds of town note for 5000, but as he
made restitution when the matter was

garded as merely careless in his bookkeeping
the affair was overlooked and only few
heard of it. Last winter, however, other
irregularities in the accounts were
found, which led to thor

to give up certain books 'Fh1oh would have
