The WORK of Bees.

A writer in the Revue des Sciences
Naturelles makes the following cal
culatlons in regard to the work
done by the honey bee: When the
weather is fine, a worker can visit
.4 fen 81 to 81 flowers in Isl six or ten
trips land collect agrain Of nectar.
If it visits 200 or 400 flowers, it
will gather 5 grains. Under favor
able circumstances, it will take a
fortnight to obtain Is grains. 1t
would, therefore, take it several
years to manufacture a pound OF
honey, which will fill about 5000
cells.
A hive contains from 10000 to
$4,000 bees, half of which prepare
the honey, the other half attending
to the wants Of the hive and the
family. On fine. day, 5000 to
10000 individuals will, in six or ten
trips, be able to explore from 3O0,.
600 to i 5000 flowers, say several
hundred thousand plants. Again
the locality must be favorable fol
the preparation of the honey, and
the plants that produce the most
nectar must flourish near the hive
A hive inhabited by 10000 bees
may, therefore, under favorable con.
ditions, receive about two pounds
of honey day.

stimulation Of Death y Indian Falri.s.

DR.. Kuhn has had occasion. 10
observe two cases, the genuineness
of which he had nP reason to doubt.
One Of the fakirs in question had
been intersed for six weeks and HE
other for ten days, says the Nav
York Medical Journal. The fakiss,
who are hysterical to the highest
degree, possess tho faculty Of pro-
ducing artifcially condition iden-
teal with cataleptic ecstacy. They
use all possible means, such as
modification of the body by spe-
cial diet, the internal employment
of different plants known only TO
themselves, and the adoption Of a
peculiar posture of the body for
mary hours, etc. When they have
practiced this for 4 sufficient length
of time, they assume one of the
pastures prescribed by the sacred
books of the. Indians and fall into
hypnotic condition induced by
looking fixedly at the end OF. the
nose.. Hasheesh 10 still made use
of by them to diminish the respira-
tory force, for this hypnotic, when
associated with other plants and
employed in peculiar manner,
makes up for the loss of air and
nourishment. The fakirs have hal
lucinations when hypnosis begins;
they hear certain sounds, they see
angels and their faces express a feel
ing of happiness.
But, little by little, consciousness
disappears and the body acquires a
peculiar rightly. This is evidently,
says the writer, a matter of self
hypnotism in hysterical persons
who are sufficiently predisposed to
it. This lethargy is looked uponby
the people as death, ana when the
subjects are aroused it is God who
has brought them to life. In Greek
or Roman literature, says the writer,
we may find accounts of persons
who have died and returned again
to earth. There is nothing aston.
ishing in these facts, for Bouchut.
in his treatise on the signs which
unable us to recognize real death.
reported the case of a woman who
had been disinterred in order that
a friend might look at her again.
She was found to be alive, and sht
lived for many years afterward
Also in the department ofthe north
there was a case reported of a girl
who had remained in lethargic
condition for several years. She
had fallen into this condition on
hearing that she was to be arrested
for having committed a crime.

The Color Of Flames.

You have often noticed the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape of "forked tongues Of fame
from wood burning in the CRATE. II
is ten to one, however, that you
never have thought to figure on the
cause of the variegated hues pre-
scented by flames. To bring the
matter quickly to the point, we will
say that the many colors are the
result of combustion among the
different elements Of the wood. The
light blue is from the hydrogen and
the white from the carbon. The vic.
let is from the manganese, the red
from the magnesia and the yellow
from the soda, which are constitu-
ent parts Of the ood.-Republic.
A collie dog belonging to Engi-
neer Robert Tyler, Of New York

An Old prOba'fn.

One of the problems that is as old as
the science of mathematics is that of
"squaring the circle" by squaring the
circle is meant the problem of finding
the sides of square exactly equal in
area 10 Il circle Of given diameter. 70
do this, either by elementary geometry
or by expressing it arthmetically in
commensurate numbers, has been
found to be an impossiblity. In other
words, the ratio between the diameter
and the circumference of circle cannot
be exactly found, even though in the di-
vision, the decimal he carried TO 10000
figures. The above being the exact
facts in the case, we will say that the
problem of "squaring the circle" is one
that has long been given up 10y the
mathematicians as insoluble.

COMMERCE NEEDS A STABLE STAND

Vice Presidential Candidate Hobart Shows
why Gold l. the Best Measure OF Values.
In his letter accepting the Republican
nomination tor vice president Hon. Gar
ret A. Hobart said:
The money standard of great nation
should be "a fixed and permauent as the
nation itself To secure and retain the
best should bc the desire of every right
minded citizen. Resting on stable foun-
dations, continuous and unvarying GER
tainty of value should be its distinguish
ing characteristic. The experience Of
all history confirms the truth that every
coin, made under any law, howsoevcr
that coin may be stamped, viii finally
command in the markets Of the world
the exact value Of the materials which
compose it. The dollar of our country,
whether Of gold or silver, should be Of
the full value of 100 cents, and by so
much as amy dollar is worth less than
this III the market by precisely that
sum Will some one be defrauded.
The necessity Of certain and fixed
money value between nations as well ~
individuals has grown out Of the inter
change Of commodities, the trade and
business relationships which have arisen
among the peoples of the world, with
the engagements Of human wants and
the broadening Of human interests
This necessity has made gold the final
standard of all enlightened nations.
If we are TO continue 70 hold our
place among the great commercial ma
tions, we must cease juggling with this
question and make our honesty of pur-
pose clear 10 the world. No room should
be left for misconccption as TO the
meaning of the language used III the
bonds Of the government not yet ma
tured 1t should not be possible for any
party or individual to raise a question
as TO the purpose Of the country 10 pay
all its obligations in the best form Of
money recognized by the commercial
world.
Any rstion which is worthy Of credit
or confidence can afford to say explicit
" on "a question so vital 20 every in
tereSt what it means when such mean
ing is challenged or doubted 1t is de-
sirable that we should make il know Gt
once and authoritativcly that an hon
est dollar means any dollar equivalent
to a gold dollar Of the present standard
Of weight and fiuoncsS.

Every cheap money experiment ever
tried in this or in any country has dem
onstratcd that, while prices respond
quickly TO changes in the value of
money, wages respond but slowly.
Hence, Though wages appear 10 rise
when money H. doprociating, they are IL
reality falling. The difference IL rapid
