ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRES.
They Must be Put Under Ground in New
York City.

York City.
New YORK, October 12th.-Mayor Grant
this morning called meeting of the Board
on Electrical Control, and resolution was
adopted ordering the immediate removal
of all electric light wires not properly insu'
lated. Before the work of removal could
be begun a temporary injunction was
served on the Mayor, restraining him from
interfering with the wires of either the
United States Illuminating Company OIL
the Brush Electric Light Company.
EDISON INTERVIEWED.
ORANGE IN. J.), October 12th.-Edison
in an interview regarding the insulation o.
electric wires, says no method of insula
ton known would render the electric wire
perfectly safe. Sideways did not lessen the
danger, as high tension wires would burn
out the tubes and the deadly current
enter dwellings by means of manholes
The number of accidents would be less
ened, but there are no means for absolute
protection by insulation. There is but one
way to remedy the danger, and that is to
regulate the tension as the pressure on
steam boilers is regulated, in accordance
with police regulations.
A single shock of 500 volts would not
greatly affect man closing the current be-
tween two wires. This tension could be
increased to 500 volts, in blocks of five
volts, without being necessarily fatal to life,
although it could ipjure severely. 1t would
give great nervous shock to the person
closing the current, but insulation is out
of the question.
CRUSADE CHECKED.
New YORK. October 12th.-All the cleo
trio light companies obtained an injunction
restraining the Mayor from having the
overhead wires cut. The crusade conse-
quently is stopped. The citizens are
aroused to a sense of the danger and much
excited. Newspapers published clamor
for the removal of the deadly wires.

by bees walking over the bloom, seeking

1t would insure more perfect fcrtili-

were more evenly distributed throughout

lalists. In England a large class Of

HOney-Bpes.

Honcy-bccs are not natives of America.
When john Elliott trans lated the Bible
into the Ind ian language, there was no
word expressive Of honey and wax.
There is a native species in Brazil, but
destitute of a sting, AMI different from
the bee We have. The traditions of the
Indians corcur with ours, that the
honey-bee came from Europe, and they
regarded it as the harbinger Of the white
man, and believe that as fast as it adj
vances, the red man must retire.
How early bees were introduced into
this country is no, definitely known.
They were imported into FLORIDA by the
span.ards previous TO 1866, anu APP
peared in New York 1928.
There were many flowers on this con-
t:ncnt before the introduction o; the
honey-bee, but they were of a kind not
dependent upon it for fertilization, like
the Cioycrs AMI fruit trees. A. the first
glance, It appear tha; the apple bios
SONS need n further ageacy for their
fertilization, a; The r;stils aal stamcns
are in me same flowers; but on a closer
examination we perceive that the stigma
comes to maturity before the anthcrs,
and bees passing from bloom to bloom
carry pollen from the older to the young
er, and secure fertilization, without
which, no apples can be produced
There are very few insects SO early in the
season as when apples bloom, and honey
bees have to be depended upon almost
entirely for their fertilization.
Strawberries, blackberriss and rasp-
berries, have stigma for each little
rounded mass which an insect has Wis
lied, or there would be no perfect fruit.

How Russian Police Rob Peasants


For example: the Minister of the In
terror, with the best intentions in the
world, issues an order directing hat the
straw matched roofs of peasants houses
shall have poured over them, at inter-
walls during the summer, thick mix
ture of clay and water, so as to render
them less inflammablc and dimin the
danger of fire from sparks. The rural
police officer, whose duty it is to notify
the peasants of this new regulation waits
until the most active period of the spring
sowing or the summer harvesting, when
every man is needed in the fields, and
then summons all the peasants in the
village, reads the order to them, and in
sists upon Immediate compliance with
it. The peasants cannot suspend their
sowing or harvesting in order to 60 in
search of clay to smear the roofs of all
the houses in the village Compliance
with the order would use up two or
three days time. They therefore
promptly ask the Stanavoi how much he
wants. The stanavoi says that if he lets
them off from this roof smearing he runs
great risk. The order is imperative, and
if the higher authorities find out that
he has not enforced it at once he will
nave TO answe: Cor his neglect of duty
with his head. Still, he appreciates, he
says, the situation: ne sees what hard
ship it is for them 20 leave their fields
and 90 70 mixing clay and water at
this critical time; and he is disposed to
sacrifice himself in order that they may
not suffer loss. If the householders of
the village vii! maze up a purse for him
by contributing twenty kopccks apiece,
so he will not be left pcnnilcss if the
higher authorities discharge him for not
enforcing their orders more promptly,
he will let them of from the roof smear
ing until after the sowing Of the har-
vest. The purse Is made up, the peas
ants return 20 their fields, while the
s:anavoi gees to the village dram shop
to celebrate a good stroke of business,

OKLAHOMA.
Career OF Captain Payne, Foun-
der Of the New Territory.
Tire Various Attempts Which
He Made at Colonization.

Captain Payne will g down TO pos
to,,;y as the founder Of the coming State
Of oklahoma.
lie was Western aivcnturcr-a bold
end brainy man, full of schemes and ex-
pedicuts, and gifted with some of the
magnetic qualities of leadership.
Some ten or a dozen years ago Cap
tain Payne took a trip through the
"Bcautiful Land" as the Indians call
i. He saw a fertile territory with a
geaiai climate, where every prospect
pleased, and where there was nothing
vile but man.
Why not seize this attractive country.
and turn it over 10 white domination!
With this dazzling idea in his mind, this
entcrprising filibuster harangucd the
people of Kansas until he had collected
crowd o. boomers. 4 land companv
was organized, and share, were sold at
five dollars each. A colony company
was also organized with two-dollar
shares.
Finally, in 1880, Payne made 4 break
into Oklahoma with twenty-five men,
and started a town. At the end of three
weeks federal troops marched in, cap
turcd the village, and sent Payne and
HI men to prison. Al the expiration of
two weeks the boomers were discharged.
Finding that lie was regarded as a
hero. the captain organized camp of
300 men on the Kansas border, and
waited for another opportunity. For
four or five years there were occasional
lnvasiOns of Oklahoma. Squads of men
would slipin, locate lands, and be fol-
lowed by the troops, and elected, to be-
gin their work over again.
Ia 1854 Payne carried colony of 600
into the coveted lani. and built a town,
with newspaper, church and school.
The soldiers broke up thc settlement, and
its founder went to prison again. He
was released, and va, getting ready for
another expedition, when death struck
him down in his pri:ne.
Bat Payne's work went on. lie had
started the Oklahoma craIc, and men
continued to talk about i, and collect
in camps on the border The idea
spread like prairie fire, until spectators
and statesmen gave Themselves up to it,
and at last congress yielded to the pres
sure, AID enabled Paync's followers to
accomplish in a lawful way what was
unlawful during the lifetime OF their
leader.
SO the dead adventure was the first
Oklahoman. When his colony grows
into state it will honor his memory,
and perhaps vote him statue or por-
trait in its capitol. Although he knew
il not, death overlook him Just when
success was about to crown his efforts. S.
