AMUSEMENTS,

The beautiful Spring Street theater, at
Los Angeles, was not quite big enough to
seat all the people who wanted to hear
James Whitcomb Riley. the inimitable
Hoosier poet, last night. but those who
stood only complained because they could
not stand longer. every one, from the cor
ner down In front. where the little man is
wont to play on so many different things,
clean back to the doors. complaining that
the only POOR thing on the programme was
that there wasn't more of it. Mr.. Riley is
an all-around genius, with the happy
faculty of playing upon the feelings eff his
audience as q harpist PLAYS upon the melo-
dious strings. He wrings the hearts OF
those In front OF the footlights with his
tender touches of pathos until their eyes
ill and run over, and then with a sweep OF
the hand and a twinkle of the eye he
startles them into ripples of laughter.
The above 10 interesting at the present
as MIR. Riley will probably favor Helena
with d visit during his western trip.

Tho Engineering and Mining Journal,
nnder the caption Of 1.-THE Failure Of the
Silver Conference and Our Future Policy"
has shis 10 say: The International silver
conference has adjourned without doing
anything; in fact. it was a foregone con-
Illusion that it would do nothing. The
question wc raised of a universal currency
and the use OF both gold and silver upon a
flexible and permanent basis, under which
there can be little loss to any nation and
none TO the individual, as such. ts still open,
and will, We believe, receive greater atten-
tion a. it's aims and advantages are investi-
gated. II has already received tho warm
support and approval of the very highest
financial authorities in New York and
Washington. the presidents OF banks, the
manager Of the New York Clearing house,
and others, while the ardent silver men of
the west equally approve it. In fact, its ad-
vantageB 90 very far indeed bevond the mere
steadying the price of silver, that being but
one OF it's aims. We shall be very pleased
indeed to have II discussed and criticised
by anyone who will give it careful thought.
and who will then point out any inherent
difficulties to its adoption. The policy OF
the United States should be to abandon the
stupid role of suppliant to European ma
lions and make them come to US. The
Sherman silver bill should at once be re-
pealed, the purchase of silver stopped, and.
In its place. the governments should buy
zach month. say $4,000. 900 of gold, in just
the same manner as it now buys silver. 1t
will not then require many months to con-
vince Europe that this country can a
care of itself. When they desire to adopt
some policy satisfactory to us, we can offer
some such plan as that Of ar international
monetary clearing house, which will benefit
Che whole world and hurt no one.

the fact that her machinery is capable Of

tations we're made to determine the horse

$500, which is 200 less than the contract re-
ouirement. The official trial would lroba-

it not been that the builders became con-

vessels capacities, that by decreasing the
pitch of the screws. a greater de velopment
of horse power would be obtained which
would result in the builders receiving the
premium on horse power in excess of the
required 5,400.

PANAMA. via Galveston. Dec. 29.-The
boundary dispute between Costa Rics and
Nicaragua is assuming threatening dimen-
sions and hostilities may begin at any mo-
ment. The territory in question is but a
few thousand square miles and would be
worth little to Costa Rica should they ac-
quire it. Costa Rioa Is believed, therefore,
to seek merely an opportunity to impose
upon Nicaragua, and it seems favorable to
her inte, eats in the matters affected by the
canal. should she succeed in provoking
war she probably would triumuh, for al
though poor both in men and money she is
superior in both respects to Nicaragua.

THE BEES AND THE FRUITS.

The Honey Bee Not Only indicated, but
Invited Into the Fruit Orchard.
Fruit growers have relented much to,
ward the bees since the results Of ex.
periments made under the direction Of
the United States entomologists have
shown that wasps bit open tender fruits,
birds pecked them and they cracked
under the action of the sun and rain,
the bees only coming in TO utilize the
juices of the injured fruit.
But now Mr.. Frank Benton says in
Insect Life that the bees have not only
been indicated, but that in the future
fruit growers are likely to be generally
regarded as more indebted to the bee
keepers than the latter are to the fruit
growers, for the amount of honey the
bees secure from fruit blossoms comes
far short of equaling in value that part
of the fruit crop which many accurate
observations and experiments indicate is
due to the complete cross fertilization
of the blossoms by bees.
The observations and researches Oh
Hildebrand, Muller, Delpino, Darwin
and others, as well as the excellent ex-
PLANTATION of the subject by Cheshire,
have gone far to prove how greatly bios
SONS depend upon the agency Of bees
for their fertilization, and hence for the
production of seeds and fruits. The
facts they have brought forward are
gradually becoming more widely known
among fruit growers and beekeepers,
o,l all,t;n.al a,-;dapaa ancunplotas
Mr.. Benton states that there has come
to his notice a case very clearly illus
trating the value of bees in an orchard,
and the authenticity of which is con-
firmed by correspondence with the
parties named, gentlemen recognized in
their locality as authorities in fruit cul-
ture. particularly cherry growing. The
facts are these: For several years the
cherry crop of Vaca valley, in Solano
county, Cal, has not been good, al
though it was formerly quite sure. The
partial or complete failures have been
attributed to north winds, chilling rains
and similar climatic conditions, but in
the minds of Messrs. Bassford, of Cherry
Glen, these causes did not sufficiently
account for all the cases of failure.
These gentlemen recollected that for
merly when the cherry crops were good
wild bees were very plentiful in the val
ley, and hence thought perhaps the lack
of fruit, since most of the bees had dis
appeared, might be due to imperfect
distribution of the pollen of the bios
SONS. To test the matter they placed
therefore several hives of bees in their
orchard in 1890. The result was strik-
ing, for the Bassford orchard bore q
good crop of cherries, while the other
growers in the valley who had no bees
found their crops entire or partial fail
ures. In 1891 Messrs. Bassford had
some sixty-five hives of bees in their
orchard. and Mr.. H. A. Bassford wrote
to The Entomologist: "Our crop was
good this season. and we attribute it to
the bees" And he adds further:
Since W. have been keeping bees
our cherry crop has been much larger
than formerly, while those orchards
nearest US, five miles from here, where
no bees are kept, have produced but
