Bumblebees.

Many years ago the farmers of Aus
tralia imported bunblebees from Eng
land, and set them free in their clover
fields. Before the arrival of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia, but
after their coming the farmers had no
more trouble on that score. Bumble-
bees were the only insects fond of clover
nectar which possessed a proboscis suf-
ticiently long to reach the bottom of the
long, tube-hke flowers, and at the same
time body heavy enough to bend down
the clover head, so that the pollen
would fall on the insects back, and thus
be carried off to fertilize other flowers
of the same species. The bumblebees
sent to Australia cost the farmers there
about two shillings each; but they
proved to be worth the price. One en-
terprising man, on hearing of the de-
mand for bumblebees, bought up some
thousands of them, set sail for Aus
tralia, and pocketed a small fortune
over the deal.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

TOM CLARK'S ISLAND.
Stolen from England by a Man WI
Wanted to Remain an American

stolen from England by Man Who
Wanted to Remain an American.
Above the village of Caribou, Me-, on
the ST. John river, is an island which
Tom Clark, the original proprietor,
stole from England away back in the
days of the Aroostook war. This blood
less conflict began in the latter part Of
the third decade Of the present century
and did not close until the Webster
Ashburton treaty had been signed.
While the treaty was under consid-
Grafton Thomas Clark learned that the
st. John river was to be the boundary
line between Maine and New Rruns-
wick, and that the natural channel of
the river was to mark the exact di-
vision. His island, which comprised
about 300 acres of woodland grass lands.
was in the river, but on the wrong side
for him, the channel running on the
south side and annexing Clark and mis-
farm to New Brunswick.
For nearly month Clark and his
two brothers were busy carting stones
and gravel and dumping them in the
river. AS the dam grew higher and
the natural waterway became narrower
the river flowed back and made adetour
around to the north side Of the island.
In two weeks Clark had. shifted tile
channel, but. wishing to make his work
sure, he continued to pile up stones
until there could be no doubt as to
where the channel ran. When the
boundary commissioners came along
and divided up the disputed territory,
according to treaty, they annexed Clark
and his island farm to the United
States, and, although the spring fresh
cts have since gouged channel
through the dam, the island belongs to
Maine and its proprietors pay taxes in
the United States.
During the civil war resident Of the
island who did not approve of fighting
and was opposed to the draft made an
effort to become a British subject by
revealing the secret which Clark and
his friends had. kept so we'll. Letters
were sent to St. John telling all about
the theft and offering conclusive proof
When these failed the colonial secre-
tary in the Euglish cabinet was ap-
7ealed to, also in vain. Meantime the
| man who wanted to renollnce his al
legiance to the United States was draft
ed and had to pay $500 communication
money to avoid gci,ig to- the front.
Since then he and his heirs have spent
deal of time and postage in petition
ing the legislature to pay back the $500.

WINGED PESTS.
Poisonous Insects That Bother Alaska
Miners.

Poisonous Insects That Bother Alaska
Miners.
ln Alaska the paramount struggle is
to keep warm. The next is to keep fed.
Third is the pest of gnats. Vicious ill.,
sects, so1.e of them so small that they
could go IL abreast through the eye OF
needle '99S fipe," give the -\laskan all
experience that he recalls as the most
exasperatipg of his career. The Alas
kan mosquito-all gnats are alike to
hin-keeps the miner busy on his sum-
mer nights with a smudge fire. When
he goes out t. work he wears all kinds
OF nets of garlZe or wire over his head
A warm day in Dawson City is 81
degrees above zero. it is on such days
that the gnat is born by the million
The grat or mosquito is, as u rule, born
ofiew hours and they are full of trouble.
They probably fitted a brief hour in
the region of X londike creek few years
ago. Now they strike it rich, aud those
hatched in the vicinity Of Uaws64 City
may drink the blood of rnillionaircs if
so inclined. There is no time of the year
when the pests do not abound. Iu the
winter they are infrequent, like house
flies here at home. The Indians firmly
believe that when the long nights set
in the gnat drops it's wings and becomes
a flea. The white miner is not as rule
a stole. He cannot reconcile himself
to feas. The native seems to enjoy
them.
During the Alaskan summer some of
the winged pests achieve the size of
the blue bottle fly of our own gardens
This creature is the most poisonous Of
the myriad of puny torturers. 1t
alights with the sudden movement of
a wasp and leaves behind it large red
welt that is hard and painful for days
The Esquimaux know this fay and call
it 'wahhai-rah,' which one of the
United States chronological experts says
means ''bad spirit come back for re-
venge." 1t is of little satisfaction to
the Alaskan sojourner to know that the
life OF these gnats is short. Anyone
who has been driven to the shelter of
smudge fire or to drink by their i'm
portunities would be glad to have them
lower all records in the matter of brief
existence.-N. Y. World.
