About Bees.

There is a question in the minds OF
most bee keepers, whether or not the
acts ofthe bee aregoverned by instinct
or reason. On this subject the Phre-
biological Journal takes the position
that the acts OF the bees are governed
by intelligent thought. To prove this
it cites the fact that bees gather
honey only in climates subject to
wintry weather. Ii our bees are TAX
en- to Australia where the summers
are perennial, they learn in a few
years to store up no honey, gathering
it only as they need it for sustaining
life. The only way the Australian
can get honey is to import queens
from cold countries every few years,
they not having learned that the
storing up OF honey is unnecessary.

NEVER HEAR THE END OF THIS.

Champs Elysees, Paris, just before the
battle OF Sedan in 1870. l never saw
such enthusiasm before or since. AS
he sang that national air, oh! how the
Frenchmen shouted! Have you ever
in an English assemblage heard a
band play "God Save the Q%ueen?" Ii
you have. you know something about
the enthusiasm OF q national air.
Now l tell you that these songs which
we sing Sabbath by Sabbath are the
national airs of Jesus Christ and OF
the Kingdom OF heaven, and ii you do
not learn to sing them here, how do
you ever expect to sing the song OF
Moses and the lamb? l should not be
surprised at all if some OF the best all
thems OF heaven We're made up of
some OF the best songs of earth. May
God increase our reverence for Chris
tan psalmody, and keep us from dis
gracing 1t by our Indifference and
frivolity. When Cromwell's army
went into battle he stood at the head
OF them one day, and gave out the
long meter doxology to the tune OF
the cold Hundredth," and that great
host, company by company, regiment
by regiment, battalion by battalion
joined in the doxology:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, We heavenly host,
Praise Father. Son and Holy Ghost.
And while they sang they marched,
and while they marched they fought,
and while they fought they got the
victory. o, men and women OF Jesus
Christ, let us go into all our conflicts
singing the praises of God, and then
instead OF falling back, as we often do,
from defeat to defeat, we shall be
marching on from victory to victory.
Glory to the Father and to the Scr
and to the Holy Ghost, as it was il
the beginning, is now and ever shall
be, world without end. Amen.

TIE NEW GAS WOE KS.
The PIntsch Company Ready 20 Begi
the Manufacture OF Gas.

The PIntsca Company Ready 20 Begin
the Manufacture OF Gas.
The Pintsch Gas Works plant on East
Broad street is completed and in operation.
The plant is adjoining the Mutual Gas
| Light Works, south of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad yard on East
! Broad street. The plant is for the manu-
facture of Pintsch gas, the new inuminator
that is rapidly coming into use on railroad
cars in this country and Europe. The
Pintsch gas is a rich, high candle power,
compressed oil gas manufactured especially
for illuminating purposes for the use OF
railroad cars, steamboats, and steamships.
The new plant consists of two brick build
ings, ad Joining the Mutual Gas Compauys
buildings, about 20x30 feet each, and tank
with capacity Of about 5000 cubic fees.
A MOREISG News reporter went through
tue works Yesterday afternoon, in company
with Supt. David Douglas Of the United
Gas Company, which also has charge Of the
Pintsch Gas Company's plant. There is
no competition between the varieties OF
gas, as they are manufactured for
different purposes. The new works are
small addition of regular gas works, with
the exception that they are fitted with
machines 20 compress the gas TO about one
third the spaca occupied by the common
gas The COS is compressed into two i'm
mense iron cylinders about twenty feet
long and about four feet in diameter, manu-
factured especially for this purpose.
The gas is so manufactured that compress
sion does not decrease its natural lighting
power as is the case when common gas Is
compressed.
About 1900 feet of 3l-inch pipe have
been laid from the gas works TO toe Gem
trial, Savannah. Florida and Western and
Tybee depots and the arrangements are
such that whole train of cars can be
supplied in short while with gas
sufficient for twenty-four TO seventy
two hours journey.
The gas supply of the cars is carried
in small cylinders underneath the cars,
and il necessary a supply sufficient
TO last several days can be carried.
From = one = 20 two days supply
is about the usual quantity, however.
The cars on the Tybee road and the new
seepers and passenger coaches on the Gen.
trail railroad are now using this Pintsch gas
as an illumiuator. The Central railroad
expects. as fas, as changes are made in the
cars already in uss or new cars are bought,
TO fit thsm for using this gas
The vestioule train will probably also be
lighted with the Plntsch gas the coming sea-
son. The Pullman car company has prom
ised to adopt the system as soon as a suffi-
clent number of the gas plants are COM
pleted to supply their cars.
About 10000 cars are now lighted in Eu-
rope by this system, and the gas is coming
rapidly into use as car iluminator in
America

PAVE 1T TO THE PARK.
Bull Street Should lBs Asphalted to
- CASTOR

Bull Street Should IBs Asphalted to
re CASTOR.
The curbing for the Bull street asphalt
pavement has arrived and is being laid
along the street preparatory to being put
down in November.
While the paving ordinance provides for
the paving Of Bull street only as far as Lib
erty, the sentiment of a majority OF cit
liens and property owners is in favor
of continuing it to Forsyth Park.
Under the decision of the supreme
court rendered some months ago churches
and cer ain other property are not exempt
from street pavement assessments. The
pavement therefore, under this con-
dition of affairs could be completed as
far as Gordon street at almost the same
figures calculated on by the council, before
the rendering of the decision, to do the
work from State to Liberty streets.
This would leave but one block, from
Gordon to Castor streets, to be paved.
Several aldermen, among them Alderman
Harmon chairman of the street and lane
committee, favor the scheme, and when the
time comes for the beginning of the pave,
ment an ordinance will probably be intro,
duced to have the asphalt pavement con-
tinued TO the park.

wounded man died on Aug. Z.
! Turner had a row in the morning with
Stevens daughter aud undertook 10 beat
her She turned the tables on him, how
aver and administered a sound pummeling.
/ This enraged Turner aud he returned home
! and So Jursd a Winfield rifle and opened up
a f1silade on the Stevens house, but didn't
do any damage.
Laterhn tho day he saw old man Stevens
and another negro named Isaac Campbell
walking UP the railroad track, and taking
his rifle started toward them. Stevens
saw them approaching and remarked to his
companion that they had better get out OF
the way, as Turner had been drunk
for sometime and was dangerous char
acter. The two men climbed a fence and
continued their walk through potato
patch. As soon as they got opposite Turner
be raised his rifle and, without a word. fired
at Stevens. Tie bullet struck the old man
in the leg, cutting the main artery, and he
sank down among the potatoes.
Turner looked at his victim for few
minutes and then walked back to his house
as unconcernedly as if nothing had hap
pened. When Campbell saw Turner raise
the rifle to shoot Stevens he dropped into q
clump of bushes aud remained there until
Turner got out of the way. He then went
10 Stevens home and reported the affair.
The old man was carried to his house In
an unconscious condition, bleeding pro-
fusely. A physician was secured later, and
pronounced the wound fatal, but afterward
said that there was apostolic chance of saw
ing his life by amputation. This was agreed
10, and the leg was taken off, but Stevens
died few hours later. 1t is said that the
physician claims that Stevens died from
the effects of losing such a quantity of
blood from the wound, and not from ths
amputation.
No coroner's inquest was held, and Ste~
vens was buried without an investigation.
Turner was arrested at the time of the
shooting on charge of assault
and released on bond Of $3.50. He has not
been arrested since his victims death.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.
No. T..


Until the year 1852 the house of Mason
& Hamlin had been known simply as Tho
greatest in the realm of organ building
The Mason q Hamlin reed organ being tSs
criterion Of excellence the world over AZ
the time named. they decided to 90 into the
making OF pianos, and with characteristic
enterprise and Judgment produced AZ
once what has been demonstrated to be the
greatest Improvement in the piano forte
since the invention of the iron frame.
This great feature is the entire and radi.
cal change in the method of stringing. thar
Is, OF fastening the wires to the frame AZ
the piano. -
The old system. which is the one in gan
eral use, consisted Of an Iron peg driven into
wooden block or wrest plank, the wire
being twisted around the peg or pin, which
is turned back and forth in the wood tn in
crease or decrease the tension of the string
thus raising or lowering the tone. In sDiis
OF the most skillful construction this has
never been an entirely satisfactory metnod
OF strlnging, and nine tenths Of the annoy.
ance caused by the failure to stand in time
and exasperating breaking of strings ara
owing to the faults Of this manner Of fast.
eniDg the wires
Like so many great inventions, the Mason
g Hanlin stringer is so simple as to excite
wonder at its not having been sooner dis
covered: 1t is a simple screw device by
which the string is fastened directly to The
iron frame. By this means the fl1menss
strain OF the wires is placed lChere it prom.
erty belongs, upon the only part of the in
strument which can successfully resist the
tension. The consequence is that the Mason
q Hamlin piano stands in tune perfectiv
for great length of time, and broken
strings are almost unknown.
The makers of this instruments were nor
content with the introduction of a mera
mechanical improvement, however import
ant. They immediately set about produo-
ing an instrument that should be of the
highest musical excellence, and 50 we'll have
they succeeded that any maker in The
World might be proud of their present
pianos
Within the past few weeks four M. &H
grands and ten uprights have been sold to
the Chicago Conservatory of Music. one on
the leading music schools Of the world. and
they are constantly growing in favor with
the musical public. IL will be remembered
that William 81. Sher wood usei the Mason
