Tho Turtle Took Direct Route for Home
Experiments with Bees.
An interesting experiment was tried
by Maine farmers family not long
since with a mud turtle which had
been brought TO the house from a small
pond quarter of mile away, says
the Lewiston (Me.) journal. 1t was
noticed that when set free the reptile
Travelled Off in the direction of the
pond ('going back home," said one of
the lads), and this led them TO put him
to the test. He was tried under a great
variety of circumstances which might
tend to confuse even a mud turtle of
uncommon mental capacity, but put
him down in whatever way they
would, or anywhere, he would instant
ly turn his stubby nose straight for
the pond and walk off with every ap-
pearance of one who knows he Is right
and intends TO go Shcad. lie evident
ly had the same instinct or supernat-
ural knowledge 20 often observed in
pigs, dogs and cats, which will take a
bee line for home when they could not
possibly know its direction by any
power of observation possessed by
human beings.
II may not be amiss TO note in con-
nection with the turtle incident the
experiments tried by an eminent Eng
lish naturalist with bees, which pos
sess the same peculiar knowledge of
direction. lie took bees from their
hive and carried them in close box
by q circuitous course TO point at
considerable distance away; but on lib
Grafton they would start straight for
the hive. After testing this repeated
ly, he stopped on the way while carry
ing the box, and whirled II rapidly
around his he0d a number of times.
Then when liberated the bees were
confused and flew about in various di-
rections, not knowing where to go.
From this he attributed the faculty of
flying straight for home to result from
the keen attention paid by the bees to
the direction taken while they were
being carried away and which the
whirling of the box upset completely.

An English woman applied to the pro-
bate court of Franklin county for nat
uralizatiOn papers. The court and all
the deputies were somewhat astOnished
at the request Of the visitor, but still they
had to stand the pressure. She was told
to wait few days until the authorities
could be consulted. Editor Reefy, of the
Democrat, in Elyria, should go down to
Columbus and make the way clear to the
court to issue papers to the woman. Our
weak-minded Legislators may yet find out
that hasty legislation don't pay.

A WASTE OE RUINS.
Six Large Buildings on the Worlds Fair
Grounds Destroyed by IncondIaries.

siH Large Buildings on the Worlds Fair
Grounds Destroyed by Incondlaries.
CHICAGO, July 6.-What is left of the
gilded statue OF Columbia, near the
eastern end of the court of honor, the
central point Of interest for thousands
of visitors to the exposition last sum-
mer, now looks out upon a waste of
ruins and ashes. The six large struct-
ures which formed the boundaries of
the court of honor were destroyed by
incendiaries early last evening.
The buildings destroyed were the ter
minal station, administration, manu-
factures, electricity and mining build
ings, machinery hall and the agricul.
tural building. The art gallery, which
has been rechristened the Field Colum-
bian Museum, and the government
building were saved. The fire started
almost simultaneously at three points,
so selected as TO afford the best possi-
bic opportunity for the spread Of the
flames. A man was seen running away
from the grounds just before the fire
broke out.
The only loss OF life in connection
with the fire occurred about 1880 o'clock
between the mining and electricity
buildings. These buildings were con.
nected by a spacious subway, used
last summer as conduit for the intri-
cate system Of electric light and power
wires that connected the various build
ings A group Of spectators was stand
ing directly over this tunnel when its
roof caved in and two men, Ed
ward Anderson and Edgar J. Bassett,
were precipitated into the fiery furnace
below. Anderson, who was employed
as a bookkeeper by Marshall Field &
Co., was burned to death. Bassett was
rescued by policeman, but he is Sc
verely burned about the limbs and
lower part Of the body body. The total
territory burned over was 800 acres.

THE PULLMAN BOYCOTT.

The 9Th day May, last, the employees of
the Pullman company Of Pullman, near
Chicago, ILL.,, left the service of the com
pany because they were refused an ad-
vance in wages. The editor of leading
church paper in Chicago spent two or
three days in Pullman investigating
matters and gives it as his opinion that
the Pullman company had offered what
was fair. If that is the truth, they have
erred in leaving the service. Be that as
as it may, the men had the right to work
or to not work as pleased them.
But they did not stop there. An order
known as the American Railway union
offered to come to the aid of the Pullman
men end call out the entire force Of the
organization, il necessary, and blockade
every road that attempted to haul Pull
man car until the differences were ad-
justed. Pullman refused to aTbitrate,
the railroads agreed to stand by him and
the members of the A. r. U. were order
ed to strike. This hardly seems like
good business policy for the employees Of
one company to interfere with the differ
ences that may exist between another
company and its employees. One person
cannot force another to work for him,
neither can the second party Oblige the
first to furnish him employment, except
they have a cOntract-th The right of con-
tract should always be held sacred.
Arbitration is another dangerous prin-
ciple, Everyone should learn to figure
for himself. Then he does not become an
instrument in the hands Of others.

FrIghtful Fate of a BalIoonIst.

JOLIET, ILL.,, July 6.-"Prof." Jones,
OF Bloomington, was TO make bal
loon ascension and parachute fall at
Riverview Park, Wednesday afternoon.
The balloon was anchored between
two trees. The wind was blowing
strong and the ropes broke. Jones
held to the balloon, which went up,
dragging him through a tree and
tearing his clothes off. At height OF
forty feet he was forced to let 90 and
fell to the ground, breaking both arms
and one leg. The bones projected In
every direction. A doctor IN the GRAND
stand was called and pronounced Jones
injured internally.

On the admission of Utah as a state
the fOrtyffth star will be placed upon

why Utah should not be admitted. There
appears to be enough prOtestants who are
actual settlers to see that the laws are
enforced. The petitions for the admis-
sion of Arizona and New Mexico should
be tabled for an indefinite time.

President Cleveland acted prOmptly,in
ordering out the troops to protect the
United States mails, which were being
detained by the strikers in Chicago.
The government has nothing to do with
adjusting differences that may arise be-
tween individuals and corporations.
Those are matters to be settled by the
courts. The Pullman company did just
what any company in Wellington would
have done under similar circumstances.
If a business is no; remunerative IL must
reduce expenses or close doors. II there
is any other plan we would be pleased to
hear Of it. Whatever differences may
exist between the Pullman company aud
its employees is for them to settle that is
their affairs, President Cleveland is the
executive officer Of the United States and
when trouble arises must see that the
laws are obeyed. The differences may
be adjusted afterward. The presidents
course has been a cOmmendable one.

As we go to press the indications are
good for the railway employees to return
to work. This is probably the better plan
and will be the means of filling the coal
bin for next winter. Try moral suasiOn
on the employers and see how that will
work to advance wages and adjust wages.
We think the public then will then come
to your rescue and secure half the loaf
asked for, at least.

STATE MILlTIAS.

The experiences Of the past year with
state militias in quelling disturbances
has shown them to be comparatively use
less and unnecessarily expensive. We
have no right to expect it to be otherwise.
Soldiers cannot be created out Of Ordi-
nary citizens in day the two vOcatiOns
are diametrically different. We believe
that better plan would he to do away
with the militia and arrange with the
general government to furnish troops
when they are necessary. The govern
ment could arrange to have troops sta
TONED at points where they could be
ordered into service at the call Of any
state more promptly than the states mil
itia can be and perform the service more
