HONEY LOVING BIRDS.
They Sometimes Have BATTLES With Bees
For the Sweet Booty.

They sometimes flaEc BATTLES with ices
For the Sweet Booty.
The love for sweet things is craving
of nature in all living creatures and
birds Will sometimes run great risks to
satisfy it. Bears III their eagcrncss to
get at the honey III hollow tree will
sometimes wedge themselves into so
small a hole as to endanSer their lives,
and many forest birds, such as wood
pccllcrs, blue jays and thrushcs, will
run the danger Of being stang to death
i'll their cndcavors to obtain the sweet
honey that the bees store in the hollow
trunks CT trees. Sometimes they will
attack bees on the wing and snap them.
up for the tiny specll Of nectar contained
in their sacks Bluc jays often take a
position near boehivcs and fish all day
for honey. Every returning bee is
caught, but not devourcd. for birGs will
kill the bee only that they may sip up
the honey. Unless driven away Il few
such bird robbers would soon dopopu-
late hive
Occasionally the bees organize and
fight the birds. They issue in body
from the hive and make bold attack
upon tho aseassins. In the quick, sharp
conflict that follows the birds invaria-
bly, get defeated. Indced they do not at
tempt to resist the onslaught, but seek
safety in flight. If the bees surround
one of the birds quickly enough, there
is little hope for the robber. They settle
down upon him and sting him to death
He may fly away, but the bees cling to
his back and sides tcnaciously. His
flight soon becomes less energetic and
more and more uncertain until at last
he drops 20 the Garth and gaps out his
life among the leaves and bushes while
the bees return triumphantly to their
home.
In the wild forests the honey loving,
birds sometimes make an organized at.
tempt to drive the bees away from their
home in the hollow trunk of Il tree
They first discover the place Of the hid
den treasure by following tho bees ON a
warm, sunny day, and if there be an
opening in the tree large enough to adj
nit them they plunge down tho hole in
q body.
Then there follows a sharp conflict
inside the tree, the birds swapping at the
bees and cutting them in two at each
snap. Tho only chance for the bees is to
light on the backs and sides of the
birds. If they fail to do this, they are
soon routed, and the rich treasures of
sweets are captured by the enemies.

Why do you weep when the yoke and letters OF

You know this world is u house of sorrow, you
know this world is II house of sin;
That pain is tho Dead sea fruit of pleasure and

Why, then, cling unto life when over the blue.

Why do you beat your hands with passion and

Whenever passes IL stainless spirit forever out

You say he goes to Il glad, brave kingdom,
over vague and voiccicss sea,
Where never II last goOdly is spoken and never

And where from rapture to perfect rapture,
with crown and Tyre, he scars and sings,
The chrism of Christ upon his forehead, the

THE CONNER ACT SUSTAINED.
Land Commission i5as Power to Dis
establish EarbOr Lines

Land Commission Jas Power to Dis
establish Harbor Lines
The following dispatch from Olympia in
sundays Post-lntellgencer shows the
status OF the Aberdeen and Cosmopolis
tide land question:
"ln order to test the validity oi what is
known as the Conner act, passed by the
last legislature regarding the disestablish-
ment OF harbor lines, action WAS iustitu-
ted by citizens of Cosmopclis to restrain
the land commission from disestablishing
such lines in front OF that city. Commits
sioner Chadwick, who appeared on be-
half OF the commission filed demurrer
to the complaint, alleging no cause for ac-
ton, which Judge Mason Irwin sustained
The result of this test case sustains the
act. 1t is not known whether further
proceedings will be had in the way of an
appeal. The commission has set July .
as the time for hearing the matter. The
citizens OF Aberdeen, proceeding upon the
assumption that the commission has au-
thority to disestablish harbor lines, have
applied for Il mandamus to compel such
action regarding their lines, on the ground
that the bodies of water in front OF that
city are not arms of the sea, within the
meaning OF the act

TIN CANS AND OLD SHOES.
They Well Reward the Italians Who Rake
Them Out of the Ash Heaps.

They Well Reward the Italians Who Rake
Them Out of the Ash Heaps.
On every dumping ground where the
city contractors of Brooklyn place their
ashes ono may sec constantly Italians
working hard leveling the heaps, as
load after load is deposited, and care
fully placing the tomato cans and other
casto1f pieces Of tinwaro in piles by
themselves. The contractors do not OBJ
joct if the householders put old cans
among the ashes, for this insures care
full leveling by the Italians at the
dumping grounds at no expense to the
contractors. The revenue from these
cans that are collected by the hundreds
and thousands is matter of surprise to
most persons A two horse load brings
from Sc to IS. 1t takes several days of
hard work to get big wagon load, but
the Italians don seem to mind the labor
sight as the piles of tin cans grow.
They watch jealousy their picking
grounds and sometimes make special
arrangements with tho contractors for
tho privilege of scraping and raking the
ash heaps over.
Tho tin cans are sold to men with
furnaces, who place them in big cal
dron, and under slow fire melt the tin
and solder and run that part off for fu-
ture use and sale. Almost all the tin
and solder is saved by this process and
is salable for use in making moro cans
for preserving vegetables. The heat is
then made intense, and the iron that re-
mains is melted and cast into sash
weights. The demand for these old cans
is said to be greater than the supply,
and ono of the most valuable of the
scavenger privileges that tho Italians in
largo cities assume is that of working
over an ash dump.
The Italians also collect odd bits Of
leather in heaps. Old shoes of large
size arc always special delight to
them A wagon load of them is always
salablo for use in making lampblack
There arc other sources of profit in ash
heaps, but the chief sources of revenue
to those who pull them to pieces are the
cans and the shoes. Now York Sun.

BY the time OF the next national con-

BLASTING GELATIN.


One of the Most Important Explosives, and
How II l. Made.
By far the most important Is well as
the latest form of dynamitcs or solldl-
fed nitroglycerin are those designated
not too happily us blasting gelatins. y
Many persons imagine, quite naturally,
that these consist OF some form of gela-
tin, isinglass or glue, converted by
chemical means into a powerful cXplo-
sivc. But blasting gelatin contains
no particle whatever of gelatin, prop.
crly SO called, the term being applied toa
mixture of nitroglyccrin and IL nitroccl-
lulose. 1t is prepared at Ardeer, i'll Ayr
shire, N. b., by heating nitroglycerin
III ''jacketed' pans to between 40 de-
grees and water at 60 degrees CLIO
degrees F.-a certain proportion of dry
gun cotton of the "soluble' kind. A
current of hot water at 60 degrees c.
40 degrees F. circulating between
the outer and inner pans keeps the con-
tents of the latter at the required tenn
peraturc, and the mixing is effected by
mechanical stirrers.
Any rise of temperature above 40 de-
grees Glib degrees Els quickly

Jacket" aStrcam Of cold water in place
of the hot for time In the course Of
about an hour the nitrocotton is dis
solved III the nitroglycerin, the two
bodies uniting to form q mOra or less
stiff homogeneous jelly. 1t may indeed
be compared to tho Photographic COLO
dion, thickened by evaporation, the gun
cotton having been dissolved not in the
usual alcohol-ether mixture, but in nj
troslycerin. When composed of SO per
cent of the latter, with per cent cot
ton, We get most powerful explosive
Mr.. G. Macroberts, the manager at
Ardecr, observes upon this point:
"Of all the nitroglycerin explosives
blasting gelatin is the strongest If tho
energy of dynamite be represented by
100, that of blasting gelatin will be 100
Nitrogelatin itself shows less energy
than blasting gelatin. "-Nineteenth

Warmth In Old Age.

In old age remember that warmth ard
an even temperature are just as essential
TO the welfare of the aged as proper
food. Many old persons die from bron-
chitis, for example, induced by exposure
to temperature which, harmless to
the young and middle aged, acts severe.
~ on the lungs Of the old The bedroom
OF an old person should be kept at u heat
OF not less than 60 degrees, and natural
~ chills should be especially guarded
against. In respect Of the feeding of the
aged, second childhood is like the first
childhood. Little and often,' is the
motto, and old people should have their
food given them in state of easy di-
gestion, above all things. New York
