Browns Queer bee rres.

Joseph Brown, who works in the
lumber woods near Galeton, Pa, came
into town aDd got William Squires to go
with him to Bald Hill to help him gather
the stores from bee tree he said he had
discovered on his way in from the woods.
81 heard the bees buzzing in the tree
while was five rods away from it,
Brown said, cor | wouldn't have dis
covered it,
The men took with them three patent
pals to hold the honey, an ak to cut the
tree down, and a lot of sulphur to burn
in the hollow for the purpose of smoth-
ering the bees. Brown led the way to
the tree, but they could not hear the
humming. The tree was hit with the
ar and the humming struck up immedi-
ately and so loud as to startle the two
men. They found near the bottom of
the trunk a hole where the occupants of
the tree had made their entrance and the
sulphur fire was started there, and its
sitting fumes went up into the hollow
tree. For time the buzzing inside was
terrific, but gradually grew fainter and
fainter as the sulphur had its deadly ef-
feet and finally ceased entirely. =
''Now we'll cut her down and gobble

The tree was chopped down, and when
it fell and displayed its hollow interior
the two bee hunters were not only sur
prised, but Disguised. Instead of layers
of rich honey they were greeted by the
sight of a tangled mass of rattlesnakes,
which had been suffocated by the sui
phur fumes. The snakes had chosen the
hollow tree for their winter home
There were fifty eight large rattlers and
eight blacksnakes, puff adder, and
three copperheads in the collection. The
noise Brown had thought was the buzz
ing of wild bees was made by the rat
tling of rattlesnakes in chorus as he was
passing. Brown and Squires will get
about two gallons of oil out of the rattle
snakes, which will net them at least
800, SO their queer bee tree will pan out
good days work after all.-Cor. New

This unofficial expedition marks the first
use of the army wheel in America. Early
In June orders went forth from the Thir-
teenth's headquarters for each company to
make reconnaissance preliminary to the
regiments cline of occupation" that
unique national guard maneuver that was
performed June 13 of that year. Captain
Luscomb and Sergeant Pratt, of Company
X, made their tour on safety machines,
covering nearly twenty-five miles in four
hours and half, measuring all distances
exactly, noting the line of retreat and the
points of defense, and drawing topograph-
ical maps meanwhile. Much better time
would have been made had it not been that
the roads were covered with a sticky mud.
No further experiments were made until
early last spring, when Captain Cochran
mounted his company signal corps on

Wants Them to BE Farmers,

BY his purchase of 100000 acres of land
in the Argentine Republic, and by the con-
ditions under which homes on this vast
tract are allotted to refugees from Russia,
Baron Hirsch hopes to revive taste for
agriculture among the Hebrews he is try
ing to benefit. He remarked recently: I'm
twenty or thirty years let those of our col
onists who have prospered make trades
men, mechanics, lawyers or doctors OF
their children. if it SO pleases them; but
the present generation of emigrants must
be taught to learn and to like agriculture,

safeties and drilled them on the armory
floor That they might become expert
riders, he put them night after night
through the English evolutions of fitting
at the ring, tent pegging and sharp turns.
This little corps numbers about dozen,
and though state headquarters does not
recognize it, the regiment does. 1t will
form a great nucleus for the cycle bat
talon that Captain Luscomb and General
Porter are advocating, and a bill will prob
ably be introduced in the Albany legisla-
ture this winter to establish it. But in
the meantime Company rs corps stands
unique and alone.
1t first marched out officially on the regi-
mental Creedmoor Day, last spring, as an
advanced guard. On July g. and it
made twenty mile tour to Hunts Point,
n. Y, bivouacked, signaled and repulsed
the enemy by day and night
In no other state except Massachusetts
have cycling experiments been made. Mas
sachusetts herself has done very little as
yet, but her First Signal corps has the
matter in hand and is preparing tests.
In all the experiments made hitherto or
binary safeties have been the mounts. A
distinctively military machine, however,
has been devised by Captain Luscomb.
While not yet tried it seems perfect in the
ory. 1t is of safety build, its weight scaled
down to nearly forty pounds by the sim
plicity of gearing and the use of a rubber
pneumatic tire. This tire, initiating to
nearly three inches, also minimizes the
jolting when on rough ground. There are
forks or grips for the rifle and signal flags
at either side. The brake is placed on the
front wheel 10 economize space. A rack in
front of the handle bar holds the kit, and
between the wheels triangular canvas
bag is swung for instruments, maps and
cartridges.
Captain Luscomb does not approve of the
cyclist carrying a rifle though. "He is a
scout and seizer of advance posts after
dark" he says, ian engineer and signal
man, and if he is cornered he must run as
fast as he can. Pistols will defend him
amply. He can travel 100 miles a day
easily, and even 800 in a single twenty-four
hours if he must. That would be impos-
sible with a horse. As a means Of COM
munication between posts where signaling
would betray, the cyclist is most admi-

that they excel in floral displays il not in
enthusiasm for prize fighters. Chrysan-

varieties grown there surpass in size and
equal in color the finest known In Amer

gear as the cycle an adjunct in the art of
war for long excited the risibilities of men
who had fought with Grant and Little
Phil" At first they called it "fancy bust
ness" and looked on with amusement at
the younger set of soldiers and their
theories.
But reports and records are now coming
tn, records of what has been accomplished,
reports full of statistics and detail that
make the veterans pull their whiskers and
think. These reports show that the BIZ
cycle is not only a necessary but an almost
invaluable aid to warfare as it is now prac-
ticed. Even its most enthusiastic disci-
pies do not claim that the wheel is of any
earthly use in the field. They emphatical-
ly say that for charges and countercharges
and advances along the line the bicycle
would only be hindrance and a failure.
They claim instead that the military
wheels province is reconnaissance and
scouting, the taking Of advanced posts,
and the mounting of Typographical engi-
neers and signalmen. The reports of ex
periments already made show that army
cycling has advanced from a stage of theo-
- to one of practice
While the American experiments have
woved the success of the 'roadsters" be-
fond doubt, Europe has gone still fur
ther in the science. Bicycles are in actual
use in nearly every army of the Continent
and England. 1t was during the Italian
field maneuvers of 1875 that the first trial
was made. The bicyclists of Somma were
called upon to carry dispatches, and though
the machines of that day were heavy,
clumsy and badly geared compared with
those of now, their value was at once
recognized.
Germany and Belgium have we'll drilled
and effective corps, mountainous and bad
ly roaded Switzerland is establishing one,
and England, according to recently pub
lished report, has cyclist section of over
5000 men. The most famous of them all
is the Twenty-sixth Middlesex Cyclist
corps of London, numbering 100 officers
and privates, and having a house of its
own opposite Chelsea hospital. Even Rus
sia, popularly supposed to be barbaric and
behind the times, has added bicycles to her
regular service under the newly coined
name of samoskaty, ''self roller"
