Pasteur and SiIkworms.

A disease broke out among the silk
worms Of France in 1858 which threat
ened to ruin the business. In 1858 a
government commission was appointed
to inquire into the cause Of the evil and
suggest remedy, when, by the labors
of Pasteur, the disease was found to be
due to microbes developed in the bodies
of the silkworms. Pasteur was fortunate
enough to discover a remedy. and the
silk industry Of France soon resumed
its former prosperity.

CZAR'S FATAL DREAD,
Has Fear Of Assassination Affected
His Mind?
1T Is SAID HE SUFFERS LOSS OF
MEMORY.
Nihilists of the New York Group Say He
Has Nothing to Fear-Their Campaign

Nihilists of the New York Group Say He
Has Nothing to Fear-Their Campaign
of Education.
New York. Sept. 1s.-One Of the news
papers here printed ten line ca blegram
from Berlin the other day relating to a
certain happening at Breslau when the
Kaiser met the young Gar of Russia.
This seemed ordinary enough, but when
it was read by certain members of the
Nihilistio colony here and spread by
them among their comrades 1t created
almost as much excitement as the news
would OF another outbreak on the part of
the terrorists of Russia. This cablegram
briefly recited the fact that the Kaiser
opened his speech of welcome by saying:
Permit me to lay my thanks at Your
Majesty's feet" Diplomatic courtesy
required the Gear, in replying, to men,
tion the Kaiser in the opening sentence !
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-09-19

but instead. he said: 81 am imbued
with the same traditional feelings as my
father" This seeming discourtesy at
tracted some attention, and to explain it
one of the diplomats in the royal party
said that the Gear occasionally suffered
from loss of memory and that he meant
to say yourself, meaning the Kaiser,
instead of my father. 4"
The cause of the excitement among the
New York Nihilists is that they regard
this as the second pu blio admission that
the mind Of the young Gear is failing
under the fear of assassination at the
hands of some one of the many terrorist
parties Astounding in Russia. The first
admission, they say, was made in tn e
first week Of August, when the news W as
chilled here that Professor Mandel, the
noted alienist of Berlip, had been sent
for to attend some member Of the royal
family at st. Petersburg. At the time
much secrecy attended the movements of
Professor Mandel, and it was never
stated definitely that he had been called
to attend the Gar. although that was
the general inference.
The Nihilists here, however, say that
they know definitely that the Gar has
lived in dread of their machina tionever
since the death of his father. and that
being a man of sensitive tempera ment
the constant strain has been too much
for him. They link closely the little slip
of the tongue at Breslau with Professor
Mandel's trip, and assert that it can
mean but one thing.
The Nihilist colony in New York is a
we'll organized affair, and for the most
part IL made up of men and women of
education, who do not realize in appear
anoe or action the common idea of the
bomb-throwing terror OF Russia. They
hold meetings every Sunday in hall
on East Broadway in the heart of the
Russian quarter, and these meetings

young woman the other day in answer to

ENDS In view it is easy to understand
why the assassination of a single indi-
vldual is regarded as futile when the
great prize of national freedom is at
stake,
But the Gear and his chief adviser,

think that there is immediate danger

For the past four months every mem bel

sion any anxiety, for the reason that the
Nlhiiists claim that they have nothing
to conceal. They are not plotting
against the life of the Gear, but they
are plotting against the present system
OF Russian government.
AS an example of the care taken to
spread the propaganda of Nihilism il
Russia it is only necessary to say that
orders have been Issued to every educated
worker to apply for positions as teach

Of their offices, studies on all social ques
tions, government, wealth, labor, jus
tice, wages, profits, law, ents, capital,
etc. There Is no pay connected with
such positions, the Sunday schools Of
Russia being practically taught by mer
and women of this kind although the
Government is now endeavoring to weed
out suoh dangerous teachers.

, was accomplished. Moreover Alexande,
Ill. father of the present Gear was
practically worried into his grave by the
fear OF assassination. En- oeror Paul was
strangled in his own bedroom on March

blown up by dynamite. II ANYTHING,

are always orderly. lncendiary talk is
never INDUCED in. For the most part
the work of the organization is the PROP
agation and dissemination of literature
among the working classes of Russia.
In this way the fever OF revolt Is always
kept alive, and new recruits are daily
added to that immense and mysterious
colony known as Underground
Russia"
These Nihilists are in constant COM
munication with those in London, Bsr-
lin. Vienna AMI the Russian centres.
The London Nihilist colony is more ex-
tensive than the one here, or in any city
outside of Sh Petersburg and Moscow.
The bulk of the Nihilistic literature is
distributed from London. Stepniak, the
noted leader, lived In London for many
years and collected about him mum Der
of the most formidable men in the party.
The Listok, the paper he founded in
London for secret circulation in under
ground Russia, is still published, and
the news it contains shows the immense
growth of Nihilistio groups in all parts
of the world.
From what could be learned of the
workings of the men now directing the
Nihilistio groups it would seem there is
little need of the fear of violent death
on the part Of the Gear. II is claimed
that they do not aim at bloodshed, par
ticularly the assassination of Russia

facts related by him are so closely allied
to the current report of years that there
is no doubt but that he found the won
derful honey deposit. Ihs man averred
that the bees going and coming looked
like an immense tar rope, at least two
feet in diameter, and so constantly did
they keep at their WORK that in the hour
or more he watched them there was not
one break in the flying string of bees.
INACCESSIBLE ROCKS.
The report was verified by him in every
respect, only he Is of the belief that there
is at least from four to five tons of honey
stored away in those rocks. To dislodge
the bees and secure the honey would,
however, be an almost impossible task,
at the very least herculsau one. From
the bottom of the ravine to where the
rift in the rocks occurs is fully seventy
five feet, and from the top down to the
rift il almost an equal distance. The
rocky side is ve.y nearly straight. up and
down, and the small brush and wild
vines with which the side is almost en-
tirely covered are not Embodied securely
enough in the rocks to admit of one
olim bling either up or down with them as
a support. And then,i it would be AS much
as a mans life was worth to attempt to
storm the beehive single handed or even
in large force, without some sure way Of
destroying the insects, ss they are In
sufficient force to make 1T very unoom-
Portable, If not extremely dangerous, for
anyone so bold as that.
There isgonly one way by which the
cavern could be reached, and then 1t
would be at the risk OF destroying the
rich store therein, and that Is to blow
the mountain side up with dynamite.
But even this mode of attack would not
rid the place of all the bees, and when
once their home was destroyed, all inter-
lopers would want to seek some secure
retreat. The stranger averred that he
would find a way to get the bees out and
get the store of honey. He declared his
intention of returning ere long to make
the attempt at least, and what the re-
suit will ba remains to be seen. Others
who by chance formerly found the bee
colony, when they the second time tried
to locate it found themselves completely
at variance. In the section of the noun
taius where the hive is supposed to be
located there are numerous deep ravines,
and the seeker after any par ticular one
very frequently becomes confused and
often is compelled to give up the search
after many weary days of trudging
through the mountain depths.
Quits naturally the late revival of the
beehive story Is creating some excite
ment, and all who have heard of IL, or
will hear of 1t. will await with consi d.

DOG STORIES.

From the London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
Being keenly interested in your dog
stories, I venture to send you two which
were told me by the late prime minister,
Sir Robert Peel, which had happened
when he was young man studying with
private tutor at a place near Ipswich.
There was well-to-do farmer in the
neighborhood, a great breeder of cattle,
who had a small, smooth terrier to which
he was very much attached, and which
was always with him. On one occasion
he went to sell some of his beasts at Up
switch. and as usual, his dog followed
him. Prices ran high that day, and the
farmer got a far larger sum than he ex-
pected for his bullocks. When the mar
ket was over he went to drink a glass
of beer with a friend who kept a public
house in the town, and boosted to the
publican of his success, adding: I'm go
ing to sleep at my daughters tonight,
but shall go home tomorrow morning;
and won't my missus be pleased when
she sees the money!" His friend con-
graduated him, and the farmer, having
Maid his score, took up his hat to leave
the public house, whistling to his dog as
he did so to follow him. But to his as
constituent she would not come. In vain
he called her, first encouragingly, then
angrily; the dog would not obey, but hid
under the settles and in the back yard
eluding all pursuit.
"WelIr' exclaimed the farmer, that's
the most extraordinary thing I ever knew
That creature has been like my shadow
ever since she was a puppy She even
insists on going 10 church with me. What
has happened to her / can't Think Then
recommending her to the care of his
friend "till she came to her Senses" he
went away very dissatisfied leaving the
dog behind. The next morning he started
early on horseback to return to his farm
having called in vain for his dog, which
had disappeared. The road led through a
narrow lane with high banks on either
side As he came into this lane his dog
suddenly started up before his horse, and

when she found &c was useless TO try

man was seen scrambpng up the bank

When Cornelius Vanderbilt was born n
1913 his father had such a modest for
tune that the boy was put to work in a
bank on a clerkage to earn his living.
His grandfather the old commodore,
a rich man with plenty of children, looked
on quietly while his favorite grandson
worked day and night over the ledgers
and the stain OF ink was on his hands.
When the commodore died Cornelius
was "a years old. a tired man who looked
middle-aged from overwork. His portion
