Barbarian Bee Communities.

The so called queen bee is really the
mother of the hive. Her functions are
maternal rather than regal. If she may
be said foreign in a certain sense, the
workers rule, deciding all questions and
performing all acts affecting the com
mon veal. Populous and powerful bee
communities sometimes relapse into
barbar-isn, renounce the life of peaceful
industry for which they have become
proverbial, acquire predatory habits and
roam about the country as freebooters,
plundering the smaller and weaker
hives and subsisting on the spoils.
These brigand bees seldom reform; if
they busily Improve each shining hour
it is not to ''gather honey all the day
from every opening flower" but to
range the fields IN looting parties and
ransack the homes of honest honey
makers. Against these marauders of
apian society and other foes the honey
bees often fortify their hives, barricad-
ing the entrance by thick wall, with
bastions, classmates and deep, narrow
gateways. When there seems to be no
immediate danger 81 hostile attack these
defensive works, which seriously inter
fere with the ordinary industrial life of
the hive, are removed and not rebuilt
until there is fresh occasion for alarm.

Big Field Guns and Their Eject

If you insist on high velocity you have
to add so much additional machinery to
your gun carriage and have to so greatly
strengthen its construction that you
destroy its mobility, while even if you
gain long range you are still unable to
make use of your most efficient projec-
tile at it. Moreover, since the remain
ing velocity of its shrapnel is a truer
measure of the value of a gun than its
initial velocity, and the two are by no
means directly proportional, it does not
follow that we benefit as much as we
might expect by submitting TO these
disadvantages. Thus, the 12-pOunder
has an initial velocity Of over / ,7G0 feet
per second and q remaining velocity at
1900 yards Of s62 feet; while the
13-pounder, with an initial velocity Of
only ], $50 feet, has at the same range a
remaining velocity greater by SIX feet
per second than that Of its rival.
One of our highest authorities on field
artillery has, indeed, recorded MS opin-
ion, that, as regards the efficiency Of
shrapnel, We gain nothing by the in
creased muzzle velocity Of the best field
gun in Europe" at all practical ranges.
Moreover. If is the attempt to squeeze
out the last few extra feet that does al
the harm.-LoRdon Saturday Review.

England'S Labor Leader,

John Burns, the great labor leader, has
had remarkably successful career for one
of his years, with comparatively little edu-
cation and no political training. He is
looked up to for advice by all strikers IN
Great Britain, and the influence which he
yields is therefore tremendous. Contrary
to the generally accepted idea. he is a con.
sentative and particularly mild hammered
man. Mr.. Burns is thirty-three years of
age, although his thick chest, broad shout
ders and full beard give him the appear
ance of being ten years older. He calls
himself socialist democrat, and gives his
employment as working engineer" Mr..
Burns has been a member of the London
county council for three years, and his adj
mirers predict that he will go much higher
on the ladder of political preferment.

for with them viii come all who bear the
names. In the district, formerly the state,
of Antioquia, in the republic of Colombia,
there were from 1874 to 1884 forty-eight
revolutions or revolts, counting the state
and national attempts, but in the District
of Antioeuia it is only necessary to get
seven men, the heads of the seven great
names, to join, and 80 per cent. of the male
population will have been secured.
Until / understood this curious state of
things l was at loss to understand how
the many Spanish-American revolutions
were possible. But it may be understood
at once that an enormous difference exists
between working up the passions of many
thousands of men to the fighting point and
convincing fifteen or twenty men that it
will pay them to revolt. The various sue
cessful attempts at dictatorship in Span
ish-American countries are thus explained
The would be dictator has merely to gain
the assent of a few men to have force be-
hind him, and he need only kill few men
opposed to him in order to utterly disorgan-
ize the opposition, for when the head of a
name is dead the clansmen-if / can use
the word-are at sea. Their natural leader
has disappeared, and his successor may be
a child in arms. Stable government in
Spanish republics depends on the
education of the people to the point where
they viii refuse to follow blindly the heads
of the names they bear.

A Departure in TeIephonv.

The manager of the telephone ex.
change in Lisbon achieved distinction
some time since by connecting the roya
palace with the opera house at time
when the king was in mourning. The
telephone man also connected his OWL
house with the transmitters ca the stage
of the opera, and had wires with receiv-
ers attached all around his drawing
room. On opera nights he used to in
vite his friends to enjoy the performance
at his house, and it was curious sight
when some ten or twelve people were
sitting ABSENT the room in comfortable
armchaiSs with receivers to their ears

was no necessity of holding up ones
hands all theF tiiRe-and listening atten-
lively without uttering a sound beyond

now Witches Were Convicted.

One OF the theories Of the age was that
the devil set his mark upon each of his
servants-that witches were all marked.
A jury of the sex of the accused was ap-
pointed to examine the body for such
marks. 1t often happened that some ex-
crescence of flesh common to old people,
OF one explainable by natural causes, was
found One such was found on the body
of Goody Nurse and reported to the
court, all but one Of the jury agreeing to
the report. Rebecca Preston and Mary
Tarbell knew that the mark was fresa
natural causes. The prisoner stated to
the court that the dissenting woman of
the Jury of examination was one of the
most ancient, skillful and prudent, and
further declared, 81 there rendered
sufficient known reason of the moving
cause thereof" She asked for the ap-
pointment of another jury TO inquire
into the case and examine the marks
found on her person.
The Jury of trials returned a verdict
of not guilty. Thereupon all the &C
cusers in court ''cried out" with renewed
vigor and were taken in the most VIC
lent fits, rolling and turnbling about,
creating a scene of the widest confusion.
The judges told the jurymen that they
had not carefully considered one ex-
preston of the prisoner, namely, that
when one Hobbs, a confessing witch,
was brought in as evidence against her
she said: What, do you bring her? She
is one of u.s." The jury retired for fur
Their consultation. Even then they could
not agree upon a verdict of guilty.
They returned to the courtroom and de-
sired that the accused explain the re-
mark. She made no response, and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty.-New

Use of the Telephone in Surger,

A remarkable application has been
made by DIR. j. Mount Bleyer. In case
of membranous group intubation was
successfully resorted TO. When the re-
moval of the tube became necessary it
had disappeared. Tracheotomy would
evidently have to be performed, but the
difficulty was TO locate the tube. A del
icate metallic probe attached to an cleo
tric wire, the other end of which termi-
mated in a telephone receiver, was passed
down through the larynx AS soon as it
came in contact with the tube distinct
click was communicated to the ear
through the receiver. The exact loca-
ton having thus been determined. trache-
otomy was performed and the tube ex-
tracted.-New York Telegram.

Songs Not Easy.

Beranger,. the famous French poet,
whose greatest gift lay in writing little
poems which he called songs, was par
ticularly dependent upon the chance
visits of the muse.
He was once visited by the author and
academician, Viennet, who said to him:
"You must have written several songs
since l saw You last"
Il have only Begin one," answered
Beranger.

the so-called republics to the south. The
possibility OF these civil wars is curiously
enough the resHat of the fact that Span
iards Will recognize illegitilnate relations.
The natural son of a Spaniard takes his
fathers name and is received as brother
by his fathers sons.
When the slaves were freed in South
American countries, after the successful
revolt from Spain, they for the most part
took the names of their former owners.
Their descendants now rank as members
of the clan having the family name. This
fact accounts for the great numbers OF
some Of these families. One of them in
Colombia has certainly 1900 men OF fight
ing age.
1t follows then in time that the name of
man who has pure Spanish blood and
who has inherited the family estate is that
of many hundreds of other men who are
more or less nearly allied to the head Of
the family. The natural son has the name
of the father, his sons and his sons sons
carry the same name, and with the Span
lard the name is everything. The hum
blest peon, who is almost pure Indian OF
negro in blood, will be recognized by the
caballerc Of tee same name as relation
More than that if the peoI. gets into trou-
bic the head of the name Will help him,
counsel him and generally take an interest
in him. In return the peon recognizes his
duty stick by the family and to follow
in pol.tics the head of the name. There
results social organization, something
like that of the Scotch clans of the High
lands in 1715. All that was necessary in
order to get the clans to join the fortunes
of the Stuarts was to secure the adherence
of the chiefs. The clansmen followed as a
matter of course.
In South America today it is not neces-
sary to get the vast mass of the people TO
agree to revolution If it were, there
would be few Of these outbreaks. 1t needs
only that the heads of the numerically
great families shall join the movement,

Huahing Little Indiana

We We're camped at the Hot Springs
on the Lo Lo trail, made famous in In
dian annals by the escape of Chief Jo-
seph and his band of Nez Perces. Just
above us was large camp of Flatheads
who were making their fall hunt. One
morning we were awakened by shouts
and cries. Evidently there was great
excitement somewhere, and we promptly
jumped up. 1t was just after daylight
and cold clouds of steam were rising
from the big basin shaped pool at the
foot of the granite wall, from which
poured thick stream of boiling water.
The pool was so large that at the lower
edge the water was almost cold. The
nearer you approached to the place
where the water burst from the rock the
better chance you stood of getting boiled.
At the edge. at a point wherethe water
was of comfortable temperature, stood
two Indians, one on the bank and TIL,
other on stone in the water. Near by
were dozen other Indians guarding q
number of little Indian boys and girls
who had nothing on and were bowling
and crying.
When we looked out of the tent the
two Indians at the pool had an Indian
boy, one holding him by the feet the
other by the hands, and were gravely
swinging him backward and forward
through the warm water, while he yelled
at every dip. AS soon as they had fin
ished with him he was set upon the bank,
and ran to the willow brush near by.
Then the noise redoubled, for each
child in the group guarded by the In
dams feared that it was his turn. They
all tried TO escape 10 the brush, but their
elders pursued and caught them, unit.
the very last one had been put through

Rem arkable Old Age.

Perhaps the Oldest person in the world is
Antoine Juritcb, of Dresnika. Although
he has seen sixscore years and ten of life,
he still tends his little vineyard, and every
Sunday he may be seen walking to church,
a distance of several miles. Juritch's age
is well authenticated by records in his
possession, and his physical peculiarities
seem also to lend color to his claim. His
eyebrows have to be cut in order TO pre-
vent them from completely obscuring his
sight, so bushy are they. Juritch's father
lived TO be 1870 years old, but his mother
died quite young.
