WHY BEES WORK IN THE DARK. -
a lifetime might be spent in invcsti-
eating the mysteries hidden in IL bee
hive and still half of the secrets would
be undiscovered. The formation OF
the cell has long been problem for
the mathematician, while the changes
whlch the honey undergoes offer at
least an equal interest to the chemist.
Everybody knows what honey fresh
from the comb is like. 1t is q clear
yellow syrup, without trace of solid
sugar In 1T. Upon straining, however,
1T gradually assumes a crystalline APP
pcarance-it candies, as tho saying is.
and ultimately becomes II solid mass OF
sugar. 1t has not been suspected that
this change is due TO "A Photographic
action: that the same agent which
determines the formation of camphor
and iodine crystals in bottle causes
the syrup honey to assume crystalline
form. This, however, is the case.
M. .SChlebier, an eminent chemist
has inclosed honey in stoppered TASKS,
some OF which he has kept in perfect
darkness, while others have been ex-
posed to the light. The invariablc re-
suit has been that the summed portion
rapidly crystalli. IS, while that kept in
the dark has rem, ned perfectly liquid
And this is why . es work in perfect
darkness, and why tney are so careful
to obscure the glass windows which
are sometimes placed in their hives.
The existence of their young depends
on the liqnidity of the saccharne food
presented to them, and if light were
allowed access to this, the syrup would
gradually acquire a more or less solid
consistency: it would seal up the cells.
and in all probability prove fatal to the
inmates Of the hive.

patches from the Yalu river show that
in the battle fought Thursday between
the Chinese and japanese $500 Chi
nese troops of all arms were utterly
routed.
CHEMUPLo, Oct. 29.-Dispatches from
Wi-Ju give additional details of the
battle fought between the Chinese and
Japanese across the Yalu river Gen.
Nodzu, the Japanese chief of staff, it
appears, succeeded in getting the main
body of the Japanese army across the
Yalu river without mishap before
daylight on Thursday. Then Col. Sato
was sent forward at the head of a
flying column on a accommodating ex-
pedition. He discovered the enemy
occupying a fortified position near
the village Fushang on the right bank
of the Yalu. In spite of the fact that
he had no artillery at his disposal, Col.
Sato Immediately commenced an at
tack upon the Chinese and a fierce fight
followed. The Chinese fought des-
perately and stubbornly. The attack
began at 10 o'clock in the morning and
lasted until noon, when the Chinese
began wavering, broke, and eventual
ly retired in great disorder. falling
back upon Kulienchas.
The troops commanded by Col. Sato.
after the Chinese had retired, set to
work upon the demolishment of the
Notifications of Fushang. Inside the
Notifications they found 200 Chinese
dead. The Japanese also captured
number of prisoners, among
whom was a Chinese officer who
stated that the position was
held by eighteen battalions of
Chinese troops. The Japanese, es-
corting their prisoners, then marched
in the direction of Gen. Nodzu's main
body with the intention of rejoining
it. The number of Chinese wounded
is not known. The Japanese lost five
officers and ninety men killed and
wounded.
Later dispatches said that the
Chinese outposts were falling back
upon Kulienchas, where it is expected
that the only really determined stand
of the Chinese in Manchuria win be
made

OUT OF A JOB.
United States Marshal Bede's Resignation
Is Accented.


Is Accepted.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The publica-
ton in st. Paul of j. Adam Bede's
letter of resignation as United States
marshal is regarded at the department
of Justice as a sufficient reason for the
publication of the attorney generals
letter of acceptance. In the course of
his letter Marshal Bede, after uncon-
ditionally rendering his resignation
because he cannot conscientiously
obey the presidents order forbidding
federal appointees doing campaign
work, says:
II do this because the party to which have
ever given my allegiance and in the principles
OF which have an abiding faith is this year
being maligned.by know-nothlngs and mounte-
banks and charged with evils that come from
others crimes
when 1 must choose between public office
and my friends shall take my friends. and
nothing shall stand between my best efforts
and their interests"
The attorney generals letter accept
ing Marshal Bede's resignation is as
follows:
Il have yours of the 10th inst in which you
tender your resignation of the office OF
United States marshal on the ground that you
cannot consistently or conscientiously govern
yourself by an order OF President Cleveland of
1886 which forbids federal ofice-holGS.s from
engaging ia political campaign work.
Il have just been obliged to call for the
resignation OF United States marshal, who.
beginning political campaign with speech
maklf ~, ondod by shooting. and is now under
Indictment for murder From the tone and
temper of your letter, it would not be surpris-
ing to find you in the like predieamen Mt
should you undertake TO be political
worker and a United States marshal
at the same time. Undue excitement and
recklessness are always most inevitable when
the ordinary political partisanship is added
to the personal interest inseparable from Of
nceholding. Your resignation as marshal is
accepted. to take effect upon the appointment
and cdali dcatiOn of your successor"

emperor and Count Botho Zu Eulen-
burg was the anti-revolutionary meas
nre. The second bone of contention
between the same parties, he added,
was the proposed treatment of the
Polish question.
The Fatal Newspaper Article.
BERLIN, Oct. 30.-The article which
annoyed the emperor more than all
others in the Caprivi- Eulenburg press
feud was published by the Koelniscne
Zeitung to remove the impression pro-
1uced by the emperor's recep-
ton OF the East Prussian agra
rians. This article said: Chancellor
Won Caprivi won a complete victory
over Count Botho Zu Eulenburg. and
as the emperor stood behind Caprivi
nothing is left for Eulenburg but
soumettre on demettre." Eulenburg.
who had already decided to resign, re-
garded this as an offensive notice ~
quit. and showed it the emperor.
DisavowaI Demanded and Refused.
The emperor sent Herr Won Lucanus,
chief of the civil ca binet, to ask Count
Won Caprivi whether he had inspired
the article in the Gazette. Count Won
Caprivi replied in the negative, but
expressed his sympathy with that
papers views. The emperor then
summoned Count Won Caprivi and
demanded a public disavowal of
the article. Count Won Caprivi re-
peated that he had not inspired the
article and would not publish a dis
claimer, because he agreed with its
views. lie now had no alternative but
to resign, which he did 1t is now
known as fact that the emperor tried
to reconcile the personal differences
between the two men, but failed.
Says Caprivrs Policy WIN Continue.
In summoning the federal ENJOYS to
another conference the emperor said
that Capriv.'s policy would be contin-
ued. This statement is taken with a
grain of salt, as the emperor made a
similar statement Immediately after
Bismarcli's fall
The ENJOYS expressed their satisfac-
tion with the choice of Prince Hohen-
lobe. The South Germans were es-
pecially complimentary to the new
chancellor who, they said, enjoyed the
full confidence of their governments.

BERLIN, Oct 29.-The report that
Chancellor Won Caprivi has handed his
resignation to the emperor is con-
