About Honey Bees.

I have seen, writes G.. w. Demaree,
a single bee clinging to smoothly
dressed board with its front feet, and
supporting living chain of TWEEN y-tlye
bees, thus supporting twenty-five times
her own weight, for an indefinite tune.
There was time when i was uzzled 10
know how the bee could hold on to the
smooth board and sustain such weight.
But the magnifying glass revea timely
curved claw at the extremity of each OF
the front pair of legs, and these enable
the bee to cling to the wood IN any posi-
ton. with its back down as well as
otherwise. But how does the bee man
age to run up pane Of glass or sheet
of polished metal. Her sharp claws
will not serve her in this case. Well,
nature has provided for that in Won
derful WAY, / once had a theory TO ac-
count for this wonderful feat. But
when | commenced to study the anat-
omy of the bee under the magnifying
o,ass nv theory was found to be wide OF
the mark. The glass shows an mimi
tesimal gland in the soles OF the feet'
which secrete mucilaginous substance
of sufficient tenacity TO enable the bee
to cling TO the smoothest surface that 1t
is likely to come n contact with.
The mandible Gaw) of the honey bee,
when seen under the glass, is real curl
ositv. They not only open and shut,
like the laws of any other animal, but
thew have backward and forward move
ment, and each of the pair is indepenn,d-
ent of the other in its movements. Inc
old class of naturalists believed that the
honey bee. as an artist and builder,
was a amason. But such is not the fact
in the case. The honey bee is
esmith." She draws out her work, us
ing her mandibles in p ace OF the smith s
hammer. II would be a simple impossi-
bility TO build a wall as tn n as that OF
the honeycomb by any other process.
Beeswax is tile result OF dlsgested
honey, just as tallow results from the
I diees ion Of the food Of the OK. but
the beeswax, instead OF adherlng to the
flesh, as in the case OF fat ANIMALS,
passes out of the body of the bee, through
/ one of the six false pockets on the under
side of the abdomen, in the form OF thin
! scales or pellets, and while they are
warm and pliable the bees seize them
with their mandib,es and weld them to
the rims of the cells, and cont nue. to
draw out the combs until the proper
depth of the cells are reached. The
cell walls are as thin as the fines tissue
paper known to the art of paper making,
and would not have sufficient streng h
to support the tiny weight o. tiny bee
we're they not strengthened by an ex-
auis tely formed rim around them, sup
porting their frail walls below, precisely
as does the wired rim around the top OF
n tin vessel That these thin walls are
drawn out and not bui on to, is proven
by the fact that the rim around the cell
is as well defined when the work IS tirst
begun as it is when the comb is finished,
and is present through the whole process
of construction.

Diamonds and Gold.

From recent African exchanges it Is
cleaned that the diamond trust IS not
centred among the dealers in Europe,
but at the diamond fields in South
Africa. where the consolidation of all
the important min under the title OF
the ode Beers Consolidated Mines
has had the effect of raising the whole
sale prices of diamonds from twenty
shillings per carat in 1888 to thirty
shillings in 1889. as the chairman OF
the new company has public y stated, it
now "has absolute control of the dla-
mond industry, and is producing less
and still receiving the same returns. At
present the company shows profit OF
fifty to sixty per cent. per annum, and
If. as it is very likely, prices WI be
forced higher. it will do better still.
This great consolidation or trust was
largely the work of Mr.. Rhodes, popular
ly known as the Diamond King.
The gold mining interests in the
Transval are also prosperous, but honest
and intelligent management is needed
to ray dividends on the heavy capital
izations of the companies. The news Of
the finding of an immense nugget OF
gold at Zontpansberg has be officially
confirmed. 1t weighed 100 pounds
troy, and comes from a region of rotten
quartz reefs rich with alluvial gold-in
fact, what is termed a "poor man
diggings," and great hopes are enter
tanned that South Africa mayyet benefit
by a rush " like those IN the palmy
DAYS Of Australia and California. Il New

How to Tell a Counterfeit Bill.

Take United States bill of any de-

and YOU will see two lines running en-
tirely across it lengthwise. Upon ex-

of a silk thread, red one and blue
one. Every genuine bill has this mark
of genuiness. Without these marks a
bill may be put down as counterfeit no
matter how good the engraving on 1t.
No paper mill dare make that sort OF
paper, and that is the governments

Miss Retta Matthews, whose two
years work as a teacher of painting,
carving and plastic art in this city has
demonstrated heran artist of great con-
scientiOusness and teacher OF rare
Judgment, and who has been spend
ing her summer in Cincinnati pre-
pairing for more extended work on
her return to San Antonio, expects
to resume her work here October l..
In a recent letter to the LIGHT Miss
Matthews encloses a "plea for the
Kansas Art SCHOOL, published in the
Topeka Daily Capital, and compliment
ting the LIGHT on the deep interest
it has always taken in the San An
tonic Art school asks that special
attention be directed to the work OF
Kansas as a stimulaut to Texas in
terest in Art work.
During the summer Miss Matthews
has been busy sketching and will
bring with her in addition to her
sketchs anumber of is for her draw
ing and modelling classes, which will
be an acquisition to her studio.
This school is now state institu-
ton and should be patronized liberal
ly in Texas. Topeka prides herself in
being one of the towns that main
tains an art school, as only one town
in every 80 of &C, 900 population does
this. Topeka people supported that
school with the aid of Boston the first
year, it has been self supporting
since. San Antonio has had no aid
outside of the city much less outside
of the state. Topeka is endeavoring
to raise permanent endowment OF
$50, 900 and mas over ODe-fOurth OF the
amount promised. san Antonio has
done nothing toward endowment but
should do so.
The LIGHT calls attention TO the
work of this institutiOn-the Texas
State Art association. Itneeds funds
and patrons. 1t is doing good work.
Miss Matthews has no superior as an
art teacher in the south. Ladies and
gen tlemen of means and culture and
who desire TO promote the culture OF
this state could do no better than IN
terest themselves in this Art associa-
ton, further its interests and promote
its work. Any information concern
ing its organization, work and men,
bership can be secured by addressing
