A Bee Six Feet from Zip to Tip"

Wouldn't you like to see a honey bee
as large or larger than the average man?
There is just such a creature in the speci-
men room of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania at Philadelphia. 1t is the largest
insect Of its class ever seen in this or
any other country. Its wings are as
broad as those of an eagle and its honey
bag Of twenty pounds capacity. It's legs
are also large and well formed, remind
ing one Of the crooked supporters of a
piano stool of We olden times. The
prOboscis, which is attached to a head
the bigness of a candy bucket, is owe a
foot in length and as big around as a
broom handle. | know hat you are
wondering where he ever found clover
heads large enough to work on, and who
provided a half a million of similar sized
specimens with a hive in which to store
their tons of honey, but there is no use
exciting your curiosity further-he never
gathered honey; never improved each
shining hour in fact, he never had
hours to improve!
He is made of papier mache, and is so
constructed that every part of his body
can be disarticulated for study. This,
the giant of the honey bees, was the
work of an ingenious French artificer,
who spends his time making gigantic
worms. gnats, bees, flies, ETC., for the
benefit of students who are studying
| entomology, ''wormOlogy' and kindred
| sciences.-St. Louis Republic.

A Specific Against Snakebite.

| will mention an extraordinary spe-
cific for the cure of snakebite which
General Sir John Bisset obtained at
Natal. 1t was called "Croft's Tincture
of Life" and was prepared and sold by
an old ScOtchman who kept the nature of
its ingredients and preparation a pro-
found secret. 1t was put up in small
bottles about the length and thickness
of a mans foretinger, and these were
sold for half a guinea ($2. i 5) each.
OF the efficacy the general declared
that there could be no question. He had
himself preserved by it the lives of two
of his servants, who at different times
had been bitten by venomous serpents,
to say nothing of Il great many oxen and
a beautiful and valuable horse. UnfOr-
tunately, Crofts died some years ago,
and it is understood that the secret OF
his tincture persisted with him. 1t was
probably a remedy the preparation OF
which was impaired to him by some one
Of the Zulu witch doctors, whose knOwI-
edge of the curative properties OF all
African mineral, vegetable or animal
substances is known to be most extern
sivc.
But they guard this knowledge jeal-
ously. and are seldom won to impart 1t
TO any European. If the secret of the
tincture could be rediscOvered its finder
might perhaps be enabled to claim the
reward of $40, 600 now offered by the
British government of India for a specific
against snakebites. -LondOn Cor. Phil

Taking = Steamboat Around the N

IaklnS a Steam boat Around the Horn.
Captain John Thompson, master of
the steamboat Cumberland, Information
al line, relates a remarkable incident Of
Names early contributions to the Pa
citic coast. Shortly following the gold
fever of 1849, in the years 1901, the
steamship S. B. Wheeler, a sidewheel
wooden craft of medium tonnage, was
built at Eastport. Farther up the st.
Croix, where the towns of Calais, Me-,
and ST. Stephens, N. E., stood on oppo-
site sides of the river, was built the bark
Fannie. The Fannie was constructed
with a detachable stern, this part being
secured by screwbolts, and after COM
pie tiOn the hull was lowed to Eastport,
Thompson forming one Of the crew of
TOW.
At EastpOrt the stern was removed
and the craft sunk. While submerged
the steamboat was fioated in; then the
Fannie was raised, the stern secured, her
hold freed from water, the steamboat
steadied by ballast and freight, the
masts of the bark stepped, two of them
passing directly through the steamboat,
her rigging and sails supplied, and out
of the PassamaquOddy she sailed around
the Horn to San Francisco. Passage
rates to California were high in those
days, and the cabin of the steamboat
afforded extra facilities.
The Fannie arrived safely in Califor-
mia, where the same plan Of submerging
liberated the steamboat, and for many
years it ran on the Sacramento river, the
first steamboat in California waters.-

Imposing on a Bald Head.

The average barber is a pretty cheeky
person, but it is seldom that he mas the
assurance to deliberately make use Of a
customers head and face, to say nothing
of time, to further his selfish ends. A
good natured man on whose sparsely
fringed head a silk skullcap sits with
appropriate grace took his seat in a bar
ber's chair the other day for "a hair
trim and a shave" There were four
BARRIERS at work in the shop and just
four customers. The artist in whose
care the good natured man found him
self did his work in a very satisfactory
manner. He handled the scissors deity
and proved to be a thorough master
of a keen edged razor. After the bay
rum, the powder and the brilliantine
had been successfully administered the
barber unpinned the small sheet in
which he had wrapped his customer,
and was just on the point of removing
it when his eye caught sight of a man
in the doorway Of the shop. The new
conner was n of those puffy, red faced
persons such as no barber likes to touch.
This cheeky barber therefore pressed
significantly on the shoulder of his good
natured customer, repinned the sheet,
took out his scissors and razor and dill
gently went through the motions of
trimming the hair and beard. Then he
applied more bay rum and powder and
fused about until one of the other
chairs was vacated and the red faced
man had actually taken possession of it.
Then with much ceremony and a loud
call for Brush here" he dismissed his
good natured customer with a smile and
just the suggestion of a wink.-New
