Who ever heard Of church being flooded
with houeyf The very idea sounds ridicuv
lous, and in any other place than Califor-
MIA would excite onlya smile OF incredu-
lity. We hare all beard about places that
flowed with milk and honey" aud meta
phor:cal references to the "droppings OF
the sanctuary" are familiar, but it has re-
mained for n swarm Of bees TO make literal
facts Of these familiar metaphors.
IL appears that a lot OF yagrant bees.
while ia search Of suitable home, found
an admrab!s location in the loft OF an
Episcopalian church In Tuiare county
Here. having an abundance OF space, they
increased and multiplied. and at the same
time laid in large store Of honey. Great
white combs were attached to the rstters
overhead, aud were built downward and
added to until hundreds Of pounds Of
sweetness were hidden away in the delicate
white waxcn cells.
One contingency, however, was not pro-
vided against, md. indeed, was not ex-
pected. The normal temperature in the
contracted proportions Of the loft was oil a
character admirably suited for tie best ad-
vantage OF the bees. and had that tcmpera-
ture continued this story would never have
been written.
II is almost unnecessary to remind read
ers that n week or two ago California was
visited with something bearing remark
able likeness to a sirocco. la word, it
WIS hot-deuccdly hot.
In the loft Of the church. where the bees
were holding high carnival. the tempera-
turc rose and rose until IL reached the
melting point. Wax gave way beneath the
torrid heat, and now, down the rafters.
along the scantlings, over the laths and
down the joists began TO flow streams Of
liquid sweetness. They found crevices
here and there, and soon altar. pulpit,
chancel, furniture. prayer books and all
the belongings OF the interior of the sacred
edifice were treated to such deluge as the
world had never seen.
Efforts were made to stay the sticky tide.
but these were only partially successful.
and before anything could be done the in
terror Of the church was n sight to behold,
and damage had been done that required
expense and hard work to remedy.-San
Francisco Chronicle.
