BEES IN BATTLE.
The Contest as Viewed by a Spectator as,
 Safe Distance.

Safe Distance.
 The movements of tho eombatants are so rapid in battle that it is difficult t5 follow them through all of their evolu! tions, but the plan Of batsie seems to be very simple, says Thes Chautauquan. Two bees from tho hive are sent to kill one intruder, and the latter always tries. to force all entrance. even at the risk of its life. Once inside. it makes room fof4 others of it's companions 10 enter and then, gathering up its abdomen in as small space as possible, it assumes the defensive. Two of the hive bees bounce upon it and collaring it fiereely they seek to find a yulnesNble point between the rings of its hs3lsss5f s.lig U f6 deaih The attacking bee just as detcrminedly struggles to cover every unprotected spot. If sufficient time can be gained and the attacking swarm is large enough to force an entrance the badly nauled bees that have not been stung te death will suddenly assume the offensive and pursue the tactics of their enemies The eontor6ons and eyolutions of the yari- ous fighters are interesting to the ob- server.
 should tho battle go against tho at lacking body, the balance of the swarm flies away to seek safety, and the dead carcasses of their rcompanionsaret thrown contemptuously out of the hive
 But in the event of an opposite ter imitation of the struggle the poor in- habitants are slaughtered. When their fate has been practically decided, many og them turn traitors to their cause, and i'll order to save their own lives they join the forces of the attacking party and display great vigor in killing their former companions But there $ honest patriotism even among bees. In every hive there are some who fight to the last and prolong the struggle for hours.

Winter Coats.

In coat shapes for the winter both semiloosc and fitted shapes are favored. The collars are still the familiar high standing bands finished with braided or braid edged tabs, crenelated strips of velvet, fur hordered points and other fancy shapes formed and decorated to conform to the rest of the garment. Most of the sleeves are very small coat shapes or else very much reduced nut ton leg styles, finished either with a flare at the wrists or turned back with a deep machine stitched cuff. The great est novelty in wraps, aside from the widely popular Russian model, is the garment closely fitted back and front, the jacket slightly pointed, and reach ing only trifle below the waist line on the sides
 Over the very close coat sleeves fall loose open circular bell sleeves, which are silk lined and decorated in various ways to match the jacket trimmings. These little garments are designed to accompany a calling or church costume or for other occasions for which a small wrap is requisite. \ few of these wraps fasten OH the left side and are trimmed across the front with two rows of rather large buttons, giving the jacket a dou ble breasted cffect. These wraps are made of various materials, including velvet, hroeade repped silk ill heavy eordings or fine cloth, with a handsome trimming ef braiding ar pdssementerie in conjunction with fur New York poaf

The amount of capital stock of the

company will be to establish trans

Business men of Duluth have been
much interested in any plans proposed
for the lettering Of the facilities for
transportation between Tower and
the gold fields. for it is realized that
the amount of business that may
accrue to the city will be very great.
Reports from Canada are to the effect
that the Canadian government i

Department. Store Bill.

From all over the state the senators
and Representatives at ST. Paul are
receiving protests from the small
merchants against the passage of the
'Theden anti-department store or oc-
cupation tax bill. These protests are
not formal affairs, typewriter or
printed with long lists of signatures,
secured. nobody knows how, but they
are individual letters from merchants
who say that the plan proposed would
simply tax them out of business. The
department stores would then have a
monopoly and could pay the tax with
comparative ease. One hardware
merchant from a town in the southern
part of the state said his occupation
tax under that bill would be $1,000
per year, and business would not war
rant him in paying any such sum.
These men Go not like department
stores any better than does Senator
Theden, but they believe the remedy
proposed by the bill to be worse than
the evil.

Arbor day has become national

for tree planting, for economic and
aesthetic purposes, but one for secur-
ing much valuable knowledge in re-

kindling in the minds of the young
an interest in natural objects which
will be lifelong source of benefit and
pleasure.

TEN MILLION TONS.
That is the Ore Output Now Figured ON ID,
Producers

PRODUCERS.
The producers of old range iron
ores have perfected their allotments
FOR all the mines have been agreed
upon. The total allotment for the
standard Bessemer mines was fixed at
4,5GO.OOO tons for the season. 1t is
figured that about $500. 600 tons of
Mesaba ore will be shipped, and the
general opinion is that the movement
of non-Bessemer ores will be heavy
enough to bring the total shipments
1or the season up to nearly 10000, 900
tons. That will be an outside figure
unless there is quite an improvement
In the iron trade. Shippers say they
can get ore tonnage at 20 cents from
the head Of Lake Superior up to Oct.
/. but it cannot be learned that anv
tonnage has been contracted for.
Some small sales of Mesaba ore have
been made and sales agents for the
old range mines are now hustling for
business.
Fayal ore is now virtually conceded
to be to the Mesaba range what
Norrle ore is to the Gogebic-the
standard for the range Norrie ore is
to be $3.50 on Lake Erie docks. accord
ing TO the newest ore producers agree
ment, and all other old range ores are
to take their position in the scale of
prices according to their comparison
with the Norrie standard of SO Der
cent metallic iron. 10 per cent moist
ure and .045 phosphorus.
The Fayal ore averages 81. SO metallic
iron, .057 phosphorus, and go in
moisture. Norrie is 1884. .04I, 9.73.
Thus the putting of Norrie ore at
500 and Fayal at $40 practically
makes differential of p cents against
Mesaba ores, or, in reality, under the
scientifically exact schedule agreed
upon. the superior chemical compost
tion of the Fayal ore would make this
diferential y cents. if it were an old
range ore.
The schedule referred to has been
made with such minute attention to
each detail that prices have been
established even to the last half cent
In representing the precise relation of
each ore to the standard set I'D. This
very eXactness gives to some ores a
great advantage over others.
For instance. the Chaplin. That
mine yields an immense quantity Of
the finest grade OF non-Bessemer ore.
it only being graded as nOn-Bessemer
because of a slight excess in phos-
phOrus over the Bessemer limit.
When used to mix with Bessemer
that is very low in phosphorus, not
much of the latter is required to
bring the entire mix" up to the
Bessemer standard, so that Chaplin
non-Bessemer ore at So 40 is in fact Il
more favored ore than the Mesaba
Bessemer at a slightly higher price.
