DIED UNDER THE KNIFE
Notaire Gouffe's strangler GuiIIotined


Paris.
PARIS, Feb. 3.-Michael Eyraud the
murderer of Notary Gouffe, was exc
cuted on the guillotine at 7:2O O'Clock
this morning on the Place de la Rououet.
Eyrand met his fate with fortitude and
resignation. There were bat few wit
ncsses at the execution owing to the
fact that it was not generally known un-
til too late for yesterday evenings pa
pers to announce that the famous GRIM
inal was to meet death to-day. When
Governor of the Prison La Rououet
and Chaplain T. Able Faure were ush-
oTed into Eyraud' s cell short time pre-
ious to the hour fixed for the con-
mned mans execution, they found
hat he was already up and dressed, ev-
identity forewarned contrary TO the
rules, by some kind hearted official.
Eyraud declined glass of Cognac
which was offered him by one of the
Wardens, and In spite of the earnest Sc
Ectations Of Able Faure the murderer
positively, even angrily, refused ia listen
to the good priests PRAYERS, to pray
himself, or to have any religious rites
performed in his behalf The Abbe's
pleading with the criminal in that dark
Ill tins morning, while within and
without the prison all preparations were
made to usher the sullen prisoner into
another world, was probably the most
solemn and most dramatic incident of
tie execution. But Eyraud's iron vii.
WAS mol to be shaken even in tie pres
encc of death, and he continued i'm
patiently to refuse religious consolation

Ventilation of Bee CelIars.


The amount of air needed by bees va
ries greatly according to circumstances.
When they are excited and full of honey,
as is the case with a working swarm, the
amount of air needed is very great. If
they can be kept quiet, very little air
will suffice. In winter bees are in semi
dormant state, and the amount of air
necessary for their maintenance is very
slight. Special ventilation, simply for
the sake Of securing fresher or purer air,
seems to be almost unnecessary. The
few beekeepers who plead for special
ventilation do 80 almost wholly upon
the ground that they can thereby more
readily control the temperature.
If the bee repositories are built suffi-
ciently underground it does not seem as
though ventilation would be very much
needed for controlling temperature.
When bees settle down into that quies-
cent state essential for successful winter
ing, their need of air is very slight in
deed. When their winter nap is ended,
and spring arouses them to activity and
to brood rearing, more air is needed.
1t is then, if ever, that special ventila-
ton is benefit; but as all that is needed
can be so easily secured by the occasional
opening of doors or windows at night,
if it ever becomes really necessary, it
scarcely seems worth while to go to the
expense of laying subearth pipes.

between the posts are fitted with panel

in the second story can likewise be heated
by stoves, which connect with flues In the
