Some Common Bees and How They
Live" by A. Hyatt Verrill, is an article
that appears III st. Nicholas. Mr.. Yer
rll says:
Perhaps some OF my readers may
have noticed on their rose bushes n
number Of leaves IN which neat round
or oblOng holes were cut. This is the
work Of the leaf-cutting bee. n pretty
little insect looking much like the COM
mon honey bee, but with stout orange
red legs and metallfcgreen reflections
about the head. Although the mutilat-
ed leaves are all too common, the nest
for which they are sacrificed is seldom
seen; for this little bee is n carpenter
rs well as q leaf-cutter, and hides her
home away deep in the heart of some
old post or board. The hole is much like
that of her busy relative, the carpenter
bee, but smaller. and instead of forming
a tunnel at right angles to the entrance
penetrates directly into the wood
When the hole Is drilled to her salts
faction. our little friend stops carpenter
work, and flying to the nearest rose
bush selects tender, perfect leaf
From this she cuts Oblong pieces, which
are carried TO the nest and formed into
a thimble-shaped tube at its bottom
This tube is next filled with pollen and
honey. on which tiny egg is placed
Another trip is taken 10 the rose-bush,
and this time perfectly circular pieces
a trifie longer than the diameter of the
tube are cut. These the little worker
forces into the upper end Of the tube
forming 4 tightly fitting stopper These
operations are repeated until the hole
is nlled with tubes. one above another
The lowest eggs hatch first, and each
young bee waits for the one beyond to
go forth. in the same manner as the
vnnng Of the large carpenter bee.

The Sulphide Belt,

Chas. w. Belts, manager of the Modoc
mine, in an interview with the Ward
Miner. gives some important facts rela-
tive to the great sulphide belt that exists
in the Ward district. Mr.. Belts states
that the belt extends along the eastern
slope of the Rocky mountains north
ward into far-away British Columbia,
where he first observed it while inspec.
tor of the mining bureau of that terri.
tory in 1882. Ore identically the same
as that taken out of his Modoc mine is
obtained in British Columbia. "That
the sulphides exist" said he, south of
Ward we need no further demonstration.
We IN Colorado owe it to ourselves to
extend our mineral area as much aid as
rapidly as possible, and l think that it
can be done in no way so thoroughly
and quickly as by intelligent prospecting
on the edge Of the known sulphide
districts, with the formation of which
our miners and prospectors are entirely
familiar, instead of attempting some
thing or other in entirely new territory
of which nothing is known with certainty
and which even if anything worth having
is found will require years for develop
ment.

the stories of his loss of memory were

the points in the interviews that have

THORN SENTENCED TO ELECTRIC
CHAIR
Murder Of Guldcnsuppe Hears Rs Fate
Without Retraying Any Emotion.

Martin Thorn, convicted last week
OF the murder of William Gulden-
suppe, was on Friday sentenced to be
eectrocuted in the week beginning
January 10, 1898.
When Thorn was taken into court
in Long Island City he stepped as
brskly, walking between two officers,
as he had done on the days when he
was on trial. He preserved the same
calm imperturbable expression of
countenance that he haG at every
crisis in the working out Of his tate
during the trial and when, as prelmi-
nary to the passing of sentence Of
death, Justice Maddox put the Gus
tomary questions to him, he respond.
ed promptly, collectedly and without
outward evidence of emotion.
"My true uame," said the murderer,
sis Torceswisky. l was born in Ger
many and am thirty-three years old.
| was a barber and have never been
in prison before. l was brought up
in the religious belief of the Roman
Catholic church. l can read and
write. My father is living. l am not
married."
Then Judge Maddox proceeded to
pass sentence solemnly and impress
lively. He said:
"Thorn, you were indicted charged
with having premeditated and deliber-
ately designed and caused the death
of William Guldensuppe. You have
had fair trial, in the course of which
you were defended by the ablest and
most astute counsel. They could not
have done more for you. Every effort
was made by them to save you. After
that the jury found you guilty Of muir
der in the first degree and the punish
ment for that is death.
"The judgment of the court is that
you shall be taken hence to the state
prison at Sing Sing, within reason
able time, and that there you shall be
executed in the form prescribed by
law in the week beginning January 10,
1898"
Thorn listened without moving a
muscle and when the Judge had finish
ed he inclined his head slightly for
ward as if bowing to the court. The
prisoners lawyers then handed up
their affidavit applying for an appeal.
Justice Maddox took the affidavit and
will pass on it later.
