Killed by Bees.

News reached here that Urich
Lamb, an old citizen of Guilford
county, was stung to death by bees
a day or two ago. A man was plow-
ing and Mr.. Lamb was walking be-
hind him; humble bees nest was
plowed up, and one of the bees stung
Lamb on the forehead, the whole
nest then few upon him and stung
him horribly all over his face and
bald head. He fell helplessly to the
ground and had to be carried to his
house. He suffered terribly, and
grew worse, dying in Jews hours.
The parts of his body where he was
stung were swollen to an unreconiz-
able degree.

A New Kind OfNaval Armor.

A letter from London to the New
York World quotes Mr.. Irwin M.
Scott, the California builder, as
indorsing the merits of cellulose as
lining for armor-clad ships. Gel
lulose is made from the hasks of
cocoanuts, and has the property of
absorbing eight times its weight of
water. When hole is made in it,
it comes together and closes up the
aperature. Thus a vessel with a
cellulose lining inside her armor
may be shot through, and yet con-
tinue on her course without danger
of sinking.

A Handsome Residence

Mr.. p. W. Crutchfield moved into
his new residence on Main Street this
week. The building is handsome
structure and the nine rooms which
are finished up with antique oak
and walnut are conveniently arrang-

to the beauty of the building. The
plans were drawn by that "prince OF
good fellows" Hill C. Linthicum, and
the mechanical part of the work was
done under the supervision of Mr.. j /.

bers: DIR. R. F. GRAY, Capt. D. P.

Constructed of material to last but

though it covers space but $50 feet

South OF Fifty-ninth street, however,
great changes have been wrought.
On this area all of the big buildings
OF the exposition are to be reared
Skeletons of huge buildings are
raising themselves from the waste
of sand, and acres of lumber
await the workmen. Dredges
are putting and snorting on every
hand, blowing out wide canals for
pleasure boats. Such buildings as
are being erected for the Worlds
Fair have never been constructed for
previous eXpOsitions. They are to
cost nearly So, 900, 900, with the land
scape decorations. A line drawn
around the walls of the principal
buildings would be 1882 feet long,
or more than five miles. This is ex-
elusive Of the numerous State build
ings and palaces that will be reared by
foreign powers. The largest building
OF the exposition is that for the man
ufacturers' exhibit. 1t has al acres
Of floor space, including the galleries.
This building is 1888 feet long and
1888 feet wide, all under roof. A man
who walks around it's outer walls
will travel distance Of 1852 feet.
The architect who drew the plans for
this building left an open court in the
center 385Xl 400 feet. The directors
have decided to roof this court over,
1t will be put under glass and steel
arch. A comparison with the largest
building Of the Paris Exposition shows
that Machinery Hall at Paris, which
was the triumph of that exposition,
could be showed into this court,
and eighteen acres would yet be
left for exhibits in the main corri-
doris. One million five hundred
thousand dollars will be spent on this
building, and, like all Of the others,
it will be torn down as soon as the
Exposition closes. But little has
been done yet on this mammoth

a Watch Dog OH a Wire.

A fruit-grower in College Point,
who finds it necessary to keepa watch
dog to guard his orchard, is humane
enough not to want the dog to bite
any one. So he keeps him on string.
He has wire stretched under the
trees across the orchard, and to the
wire is attached by loop another wire
fastened to the dogs collar.
The dog can run only in the direc-
ton of the wire, but thief in the

though he were unhampered.-New
