MEXICO Is PROSPEROUS.
Not in Ten Years Has the Country
Been So Thriving.

Boston, Oct. 16.-A special from the
City of Mexico says. The financial situ-
alton continues favorable. The glut of
money in the banks remains, merchants
having so much cash that they are in
dependent of banks in being able to
purchase foreign exchange without re-
sorting to them. Mexican capital is be-
ing invested in tropical agricultural
land, principally coffee, and in manufac-
lures and city real estate, but not so
much in the latter as during the past
years for the reason that good mortgages
are steadily declining, forcing capitalists
not content with net of five per cent.
to be more speculative. The railways
are hauling more and more native
freight as the country prospers. Large
shipments of dollars are being made to
San Francisco for Asia, largely for
China. Many railways are soon to be
built, and the country has not been SO
generally thriving for ten years Presi-
dent Diaz and Finance Minister Liamn-
tour are now in hopes of refunding the
entire external gold debt at per cent.

EXECUTION OF Stokes
He Was Tried By a Court
of One Man.
The English Trader Sentenced To
Death By Captain Lothaire, and
When His Friend Arose the Next
Morning Saw a New Grave Con-
tanning Stokes Remains.

London, Oct. 15.-The Pail Mall Ga
Eette publishes an interview with DR..
Michaux, the Belgian official who is
said to have been the only European
witness of the trial and execution by
hanging of Stokes, the English trader,
who was executed by order of Capt. Lo-
thaire, the Belgian commander at
Lindl, Congo Free State. DIR. Michaux
Is quoted as saying that on Jan. IL of
the present year Stokes was brought be-
fore an alleged court-martial, Capt Lo-
thaire composing the entire court, and
he and the doctor being the only whites
present. The only witnesses present
were few Arabs who had purchased
rifles from Stokes. The trial lasted be-
tween one and two hours, after which
Capt Lothaire announced that he was
sentenced to death and that he would be
executed on the following day DR..
Michaux adds: "All my intercessions
were futile. Capt. Lothaire refused to
grant even a few days respite Az 5
O'Clock the next morning a servant
called me and informed me that Stokes
was dead. rose hurriedly, thinking
that Stokes had been stricken with
apoplexy or had poisoned himself, and
was startled to see a gallows and new
made grave. Stokes had been executed
and buried while | slept AS to the
question of his guilt or otherwise, l
must be silent"

Water for Bees in winter.
A Russian, Czieselski or Tseselsky,
has been making some interesting ex.
periments regarding the way in which
bees get the moisture they need in
winter 1t Is we'll known that honey
attracts moisture In a damp atmos.
phere. At temperature Of 70 degrees
three grains Of uncapped honey viii in
twenty-four hours absorb from .bs4 to
L0a2 grains Of water; at 80 degrees,
from 1.bT to ao34 grains Of water,
thus absorbing fully Its own weight Of
water in twenty-four hours. So when
bees need moisture In winter, they un-
cap honey In advance Of their needs,
and the uncapped honey gets from the
air and from the breath Of the bees che
necessary moisture. = American Bee
