not conclusive evidence of the reasoning

OF 1T. During light spring shower the
professor took shelter under large
linden tree in full bloom.
While there he noticed an unusual
number of bees busily at work among
the flowers Of the linden, while a tree of
another species. close at hand. also in
bloom, had no bees about it. The rea-
son was quickly apparent to him. the
deserted tree was light foliage. and the
rain poured through freely, while the
linden had heavy foliage, and in such
abundance that the rain was shed al
most as perfectly as from an umbrella.
The bees were evidently aware of this.
for they came and went directly to and
from the linden. ignoring the other tree
entirely.

Well-Known Young Man Arrested
ON Serious CHARGE

Well-Known Young Man Arrested
ON a Serious Charge.
a. w. Weldenborner, wsll-known
young mar, was arrested last evening
by Detectives MeGuiggan and Byrnes
on charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The warrant was is
sued by business firm who. as alleged
advanced $1S to Weidenborner on his
check several days ago. The check
sent to the bank was returned, as al
legged. marked no account. and. as al
legged, the young man paid no attention
to the matter, the complaint was made
and the warrant issued. The detect
ives have been on the lookout for
Weidenborner for several days. but
they did not find him. Last even
ing the two officers went to his
residence at $50 st. Peter street
and, finding side door, which
had been left unlocked. walked in and
placed him under arrest. The prisoner
was taken to the central station and
locked up, and although an effort was
made by his friends to have him released
on bail they were not successful. Weld
enborner was married last spring, the
engagement and ceremony being quite
surprise to his relatives and friends.
Since his marriage Weidenborner has
been playing in hard luck. Some of his
friends have assisted him in a number
of ways. but finally became tired. and,
as stated recently, gave him to under
stand that he would have to shift for
himself.

Raises Points of Exorbitant Prices
and Proves Them.
Aid. Franklin and Copeland and AS
semblyman Reardon, of the council
committee on acquisitions, held a short
session. Yesterday afternoon. At pre-
vious meetings of the committee Mr..
Reardon objected to the approval OF a
requisition for five dozen pick handles
which had been purchased by the city
engineering department without a re-
QUESTION. 1t was claimed by the city
engineer that the purchase was neces-
slty, and under resolution of the coun-
Gil all departments had authority to
make necessary purchases without wait
ing for acquisitions. Mr.. Reardon then
raised the point that the pick handles
were not the right kind for the price
charged, he claiming that he could
buy the identical goods for half the
price charged. This was denied at the
time, but since then investigations
showed that the point raised was good
one. At the meeting yesterday letter
was read from the firm of Robinson 81
Cary, who sold the handles, stating that
by some mistake the goods. which should
have been billed at S1.40 per dozen,
were charged for at the rate of 81. rs per
dozen. The mistake in the charge will
be rectified. Mr.. Reardon also called
attention to the price which the
police department was paying for
oats. acquisitions submitted for oats
for this department have been al
lowed at 81 and So cents per bushel for
the past year. and Mr.. Reardon said
that this was thee cents too much, even
at the price at which the same was pur-
chased by other, departments. The
matter will be investigated

happy reunion of friends than anything

After the guests had been received
came the musical portion of the even
ing's entertainment. Such local artists
as Oscar Lienau and Mrs. Llenau, Miss
Grace Smith, Miss Lulu Weber, N. P.
Void, r. Geddes and William Stoll

succeeded the sextette sung by the
others with several solos, among which
were "Queen of Earth'' and Mona"
Miss Smith sang "Across the Deep"
and Mr.. Geddes "Bell River" All
these were enthusiastically encored.
The Twin City Mandolin and Guitar
club gave number of selections.
AT the close of the musical programme
light refreshments were served, after
which all repaired to Lifts hall, where
they "tripped thelight fantastic toe."
There were about eighty present, and
the affair was one of the most enjoyable
ever held III st. Paul.
At Lifts hall two intere sting features
were added. Miss Emma Waterman, of
Austin, gave the Spanish skirt dance,
and also the "Thuma." while Miss
Sabre Goddard, of st. Paul, danced the
''Georgine." to music by the st. An

showed themselves adopts and received
hearty encores. The Lumbermen's

ABOUT LIGHTNING.

Although lightning and thunder oc-
cur always simultaneously. an interval
of shorter or longer duration is usually
observed between these two phenom-
ena, which is due to the fact that sound
travels only at the rate of LOO feet per
second. while the passage of light is al
most instantaneous. Based upon this
fact it is an easy matter to tell. at least
approximately, how many miles thun-
der storm is away.
A normal pulse will beat about one
stroke to the second, and by counting
the pulse beats during the interval Of
the lightning and the thunder the lapse
of seconds is arrived at, and conse-
quently the number of feet, which can
be reduced to miles.
For example: If thirty seconds elapse
between the flash of the lightning and
the crash of thunder, the storm center
is at distance of $4,000 feet, or about
six and half miles. An almost &C
curate calculation can be made by using
a watch with minute dial.

INSTINCT AND REASON,

Prof. Mehan Relates a Striking
Observation With Some Busy
Bees.
Philadelphia Ledger.
A few years ago the person who might
give utterance to the idea that any but
human beings possessed reasoning pow
e1s would have been considered guilty
of rank heresy. But with advanced en-
lightment there are thousands who have
been driven to the belief that the Crea-
tor has not bestowed the ''divine light"
upon man alone, but upon animals as
well, even insects coming in for share
of that force which is grade higher
than instinct.
Close observers are continually max
Ing public examples which show that
that class of animal life which has beeu
designed as 1.-The lower crdersr when
compared with human kind, accomplish
results, the working out of which can
scarcely be ascribed to instinct alone.
This reasoning faculty is especially no.
ticeable among dogs, while many other

There was to be a grand carnival of
