The Bumblebae.

4 valuable contribution to natural
science has been made by Prof Edward
l%iofirr. in the discovery of Il remark
able power Of memory IN the humble
bee. The little creature has evidently
q; strong SENSE OF locality. comparable
to that Of the cariler-pigeon.
The professor removed a nest con
tanning numerous bumblebees { Bom-
bus tesrestrjs) from its original location,
and carried it to his residence. about
three miles distant. He further cale
fully watched the place for some time,
after having captured all the bees
who had flown to the defense Of the
nest and secured it was delivered, the
entire colony.
These he imprisoned for several
hours in a wide-mouthed bottle, and
safely reunited them in their new
home. At his house he placed the
dow, and after the latter had heen
quoted, made Il small entrance. I'M
mediately the bees began to fly out,
and i'll doing SO must have observed
their surroundings, for in a short time
they IL by II returned.
che following night, however, there
was a severe storm; and while the in
liabitants of other colonies of bees near
it that had become accustomed to
their surroundings, were not in the
least troubled, these bees escaped
and hid themselves somewhere without
during the storm. Upon searching
for them early the next morning, the
queen was found dead upon the ground.
while fifty or sixty of the workers
were seen flying about the house.
From time to time or another.
probably those which had flown out
of the entrance the dav before-found
the opening and returned into the
nests; while the remainder, after flying
. oout for several hours, gradually
disappeared till not one was left. AS
it was supposed that they had i'll all
probability returned to their previous
nest, tire place was visited in the
afternoon, where at least fifty Of them
were found.
They had thus, il will be seen, dis
tinctly remembered it, and after they
had sought in vain to find entrance to
their new home, they had depended
on their wonderful sense of locality
and returned hither.-ChicagO Id

A prominent Philadelphia physician
gives the following advice to votaries
of the gum-chewing habit:
81 would advise the girls to stop it
at once, swear off, as the drinkers
say, for in II repect these dainty
girls are like drunkards. If they are
chronic gum chewers, they are heir
to all the infirmities that affect the
chronic whiskey drinkers. The greatest
injury is caused to the eyes. The
muscles of the jaws connect with the
spine, and from the spine there are
fibrous tissues running in all directions;
a number Of these extending to the
eyes are calledthe optic nerves. These
nerves are very sensitive, and when
Overworked become shrunken and
feebled, and the process Ofdeteriorati"n
to the eyesight begins. The vision

Legislation is needed, and it should
be got ready for adoption at this session
of Congress, that will prevent Commu
nists, Anarchists and other destructives
(mainly from Continental Europe from
coming into the United States and
abusing the hospitality and the asylum
they find here by getting up plots and
murderous conspiracies against the pub
lie authorities and destructive OF the
general peace and safety. Laws to put
stop to the immigration of such treach-
erous guests, and to punish the attempt
ed assaults upon the Government and
society by those who have already &C
CURED domicile here, are urgently re-
quired. They will have to be passed
and no time should be los. about it.
1t is true that In the conduct of the
affairs of the United States a great deal
is trusted to that Providence which is
SAID to protect the United States and
Isdrunken men from the risks attaching
to their own recklessness or folly-but
we may some time trust too much or
once too often. Anti-Anarchlst-imm
grafton laws and other stringent laws On
the same general subject are urgently
needed n0zg.

A writer in the current number of the
Forum considers the question of immi-
grafton in all its bearings and with great
particularly, devoting especial attention
to it in connection with the growth OF
crime in this country. His position is
that this growth is the sequence, not OF
the deterlorated morals OF the American
people. but of the lower character OF
immigration of recent years. There
was bill introduced at the last session,
and again introduced on Wednes lay
in the Senate, providing among other
things that any person intending to en-
lgrate to the United States should, be-
fore embarking, procure from the Amer
lean Consul nearest to his place OF
residence certificate of good character
without which he would not be permit
ted to land here. This bill was de-
feated, it is said, by the influence of
two powerful transportation organiza-
tons IN New York. Whether this
statement is reliable or not, the provi-
sion of the bill referred to is good one
and should be enacted into law. In
accordance with the recommendations
of the President on the subject, Con-
gress should give the undesirable i'm
migrant question serious consideration.

and were crushed by the crowd forcing
its way to the street. In all IS persons
