When there is but single colony Of
bees for miles around It is very prob
able that close inbreeding occurs, says
exchange. This would seem TO arise
from the necessity of the case Fok
many years the best authorities sup1
posed inbreeding to be the rule among
bees, from the fact that the hive wa6
tenanted by a single female, and the
bees of different hives were known to
be hostile toward each other. But
Tegetmeir has shown that this hcstili.
ty does not apply to the drones, which
are permitted to enter any hive un.
niolested and Darwin believed that
"the union invariably and necessarily
taking place on the wing, during the
queens nuptial fight" was a special
provision against continued inbrecd-
ing"
Proof of this is found in the cross
bred bees. Darwin cites the following
cases: "Mr. Woodbury., who intro
duced Ligurian bees into Devonshire,
found during a single season that those
stocks, at a distance from one 10 two
miles from his hive, were crossed by
his drones. In one case, the Liguriap
drones must have flown over the city OF
Exeter, and over several intermediate
hives. On another occasion, several
common black queens were crossed by
Ligurian drones, at distance of from
one to three and half miles" 1t Is
not altogether improbable that the
nuptial fight Of the queen is induced
by the collecting of drones, which call
her by their loud humming. This may
be the signal to her to start on the
journey which is to prepare her for her
life work; and the presence of a queen,
ready to take her nuptial fight, may
be scented by the bees. 1t does mob
seem necessary, therefore, to hold that
inbreeding is the rule in situations
where the reverse is possible. The
free out crossing of different varieties
the collecting of drones in great num-
bers in out of way places, the absence
of hostility to foreign drones, and the
liberal provision throughout nature to
prevent inbreeding aud secure cross
ing, all seem to converge to the idea
that inbreeding is not resorted to only
when circu instances compel it. 1t Is
probably the exception rather than the
rule, and the crossing is natures
method of keeping up the constitution
of the bee. This may be theory, but
the reverse is also theory, and this
theory really seems to have the strong

The spokesmen OF the mob asked
for the return of the pamphlets,
claiming that they had been illegally

workmen to dispense. The mob re-

met by shower of stones and driven
back. The municipal authorities called
for detachment of troops. and upon
the arrival of the soldiers the gen.

wounded, continued stoning the
troops, and second volley, this
time in real earnest, was fred
