CAPTURING wild Bees.

The bees and brood from bee trees
are often saved. If the swarm is not.
too high up, a ladder may be put up,
and a piece Of the wood taken out in
front of the bees by boring a line of
auger holes around the piece that Is to-
be removed. Sometimes a scatfold is
built against the side Of the tree, and
an X or saw used in cutting in to
the bees. Sometimes climbers" are
used to reach the bees if they are pref
ty high up, but this is dangerous work.
Usually it is better to fell the tree.
taking care to have 1t strike smaller
trees and thus break the fall as much
as possible. When the bees are reach
ed the combs should be cut out, one by
one. and fastened into the frames of
n movable comb hive. They may be-
tied in. or small sticks may be tackled
across on each side. The bees should
be brushed off at the entrance of the
hive, and as soon as there is a comb
containing brood placed in the hive
they will begin clustering on the brood.
If there are many bees remaining In
the cavity or flying about after the
combs + removed. it Is well to place
the entrance of the hive as near the,
cavity as possible and leave it there
several hours-possibly ell nightly
which time nearly all of the bees will
have entered the hive. when it may
be carried home. If no honey Is COM
ing in the bees should be fed a few
days until the combs are securely fast
ened. when the sticks and strings may
be removed. No harm will result from
placing the captured one by the side of
the one already in the yard.

heit.
The zero of absolute temperature has
long been indicated as a mysterious and
important point in two ways. The first
Is the contraction of gases, which in
all known gases operates uniformly as
the temperature is lowered. AS long as
they retain the gaseous state, gases
shrink in volume so uniformly with
each added degree of cold that an exact
%unvarying line of diminishing volume is
established. This line is an unvarying
as the pointing of the needle to the
north pole. 1t cannot be explained any
more than the action Of the needle can
be explained. AS every gas is cooled,
however, degree by degree, it points

proportions of loss of volume never

ness. 1t could not do So. of course;
and all gases, sooner or later, fall out
of the line by becoming liquid, when
the law ceases to operate, and the
proportion of contraction in volume
ceases to be the same. AS long as they
remain gases, howcver-and the law is
precisely the same in all gases-thcy

At the Present Age.

1t is true that women demand more
of men at the present time than u
grandmothers and even our mothers
did. Once it was enough to be a man.
Now he must be a deserving one. and

She is his companion, not his toy nor
his slave. Men talk of affairs of wom-
en- now, where they used to speak only
gallant words.

The Ascent of Woman.

all the traditions of the worlds past,
that the great factor in the future evo-

The Russian Jews in America ara
said to be rejoicing-and very nat.
urally, too-over the death of the Gar
Alexander. One Of them remarked
that an opportunity will now be given
for new ideas to reign, and he hopes
for a return of the progressive policy
of Alexander's father. The recent
utterances Of the new car, indicating
that he would tolerate all religions.
affords some basis for this hope. The
persecution and expulsion of the Jews
by Alexander will always remain a
foul blot on his reign.

NEW STYLE OF DUCK HUNTING.


Sportsmen May Now Paddle After
Their Game in n Pneumatic Boat.
Sportsmen whose tastes induce them
to seek duck and other water fowl as
a quarry should feel particularly happy
this season, says the New York Sun.
They are being catered to in a way
which promises to render their amuse-
ment as comfortable as watching a
kintoscope fight. The innovation which
is to work this transformation among
aquatic marksmen is a pneumatic boat
which can be carried around as a small
parcel when not in use. When duly
inflated and ready for active service
the new sporting craft presents the ap-
pearance of a circular soup tureen on
feet. The marksman gets inside, and
having adjusted his feet in the rubber
boots attached to the boat he has only
to paddle away and enjoy himself.

A recent fresh meat cargo delivered
at London from Australia and New
Zealand was the largest single load Of
refrigerator meat ever handled. 1t con-
sisted Of 10000 carcasses of sheep,
5000 launches and the same number of
legs Of mutton, $50 tons of beef, $50
bags of bullocks' hearts, $50 bags of OK
tails and kidneys, Z cases Of oysters,
and $50 cases of butter. There was
room in the steamers hold for about
10000 more carcasses of sheep. The
shipment was the first of it's kind from
the Pacific, where the ammonia ma
chine was used for refrigerating pur

A comparison Of the maximum tenn
pelature in different parts of the world
shows that the Great Desert Of Africa
is by far the hottest. This vast plain,
wbich extends 1000 miles from east 10
wesr and 1000 from north to south,
has a temperature of $50 degrees Fab
renhelt in the hottest days of summer.
1t would be impossible for any one but
the acclimatized Moors, Berbers and
Arabs to live, even for a day, in the
heart of the rainless Sahara. In spite
of the fact that the days are extremely
hot, the nights are nearly always un-
comfortably cold, and the travellers are
obliged to burden themselves with blan-
kets in order to endure the change.
