Queer Find of Honey.

A remarkable discovery has been
made at the Cathays Yard of the Taft
vale Railway Company, says the Glas-
gov (Scotland) Herald. A large elm
tree grown in Worcestershire was being
cut up into timber, when right in the
very heart cavity measuring eight
feet in length and seven one-half inches
in diameter was discovered almost COM
pletely filed with the comb of the honey
bee together with a squirrels skull. No
means of access to the hollow was dis
coyerable, neither was decay anywere
apparent, and around the cavity itself
no less than fifty rings" each ring de-
noting a years growth, were counted,
the outer bark too being without flaw.
The hollow was Of uniform size through
out, and presented the appearance Of
having been bored with an anger, and,
great though its dimensions were, it was
practically filled with the comb, proving
that the bees must have been in posses
sion for several years. Empty combs
of the queen bee also showed that they
had swaImed.
How the bees got there can only be
guessed, but it is surmised that a
squirrel once occupied decayed hole
in the tree, cleared away the decay, oc-
cupied the cavity as its home, and there
died. Then the bees entered into pos
session and filed the hole with comb,
when by some means the entrance,
which must have been small, became
stopped, the large quantity of grub and
fly being taken as demonshative that
the nest was not voluntarily deserted.
Then for fifty years the growth OF the
timber went on. The entrance being
absolutely obliterated and the hole being
Theoretically sealed, the comb was pre-
served from decay for half a century, to
be found at last in the way described.
The find is of great interest to natural
lists.

Killed for His Benefactions.

Advices from Hong Kong say that at
Yeko, Corea, 400 constables surround
ed a house occupied by one Boku and
dragged him out, beating him to death.
The Corean Government had imposed a
tax on the townspeop that they were
unable to pay, and Boku paid the entire
levy, selling some of his property to do
so. This ac Of charity aroused the sus-
picion of the authorities. who thought
Boku sought to make himself popular in
the district. They accordingly had him
put to death in the manner described.
The enraged townspeople thereupon
arose en- masse and attacked the con
stables, killing many and wounding
most of the survivors. The military
were dispatched to the scene and quelied

The Myrtle Orange.

The myrtle orange is very sparingly
propagated by Florida nurserymen, and
seldom found in any considerable guam
tity even in our largest groves. In. the
City OF New Orleans, however, and at
several places on the Mississippi Sound
it is much priced, and planted for both
use and ornament. The tree is of med
ium size seldom attaining the height
and expanse Of the more common
sweet or sour orange but when highly
cultivated and well cared for has no
superior in beauty and attractivcness,
even in the beautiful citrus family.
1t is of rather dwarlish habit, with
small, very compact, ovate, sharpe point
cd leaves, and small, round fruit, of a
somewhat austere and acid flavor. II
highly cultivated it is often in flower
and fruit at the same time, and on this
account may be made quite an ornment
to our gardens and grounds. 1t is said
to be employed by the Chinese gar
deners(who thoroughly understand the
art Of dwalfing) as an edging of flower
beds, in the same manner rs the dwarf
box is uscd in Europe and America.
The myrtle orange, / repeat, requires
high culture, which it amply repays by
n great poTusion OF flowers and fruit,
the latter often crowding together GU
the branches in almost solid cluster and
masses. 1t las no v;tiue as an edible
fruit in its law or natural state; but
when properly preserved, produces y
conserve or swcetmeat of almost IN
equaled deli lacy and flavor. II Times,

Water For The Sandy Desert.

Colonel Arson Nils, of the United
States army,is actively engaged at Fort
Bliss investigating the great ilTigating
problem of the arid West. When Con-
gress appropriated $3.50, 900 for geologi-
cal surveys, and authorized Major Pow
ell, who had charge of that department
Of governmental work, to encourage irri-
cation in arid districts by making sur
veys for the location of irrigation dams,
to investigate rivers, lakes and gorges,
with view to inquiry into the advisable
ity of storing water for irrigation pur-
poses, Colonel Mills went to Major
Powell and explained to him Ell Paso's
situation, her natural pass and natural
resources for the storage of water in the
wet season to irrigate the lands in the
dry season. He explained that the Rio
Grande was the most prominent torren-
tial stream in America, and suggested
the idea Of great international reser-
voir Just above Ell Paso for the Storage
of the yastquantity Of water wasted in the
wet season. His idea is to have the
dam stretched square across the river for
the benefit of those residing ON the east
side, to at no time stop the flow of the
river, but to save the torrent waters
and regulate the flow, and therefore
regulate the channel of the stream.
The idea was approved by MajorPow-
ell, who believes THAI if the dam is of
an international character, and Mexico
will do her part by it, Congress will
make liberal appropriation for the
work Colonel Mills will make the nee
essary surveys looking toward the inn
pounding of the river in a large lake
with 60 foot dam, and gates so ar
ranged rs to keep a constant flow of
water through the proper channel Of the
river, and also to ascertain the average
flow of water in the river and the
amount Of sediment in it. At medi-
um flow it would require one year to fill
the proposed reservoir, which could be
tapped by the people on both sides of
the river, and when once filed, would
supply constant water power capable
of running many immense manufacture
ing industries. The canal which would
carry the water through Ell Paso would
be elevated about 20 feet above the level
of tho streets, owing to the naturally
high position of the reservoir and the
extra G0-foot dam.

millions of dollars worth Of
