BEES IN BATTLE ARRAY,
Rapid and Businesslike Movements Made
BY the Tiny Combatants

Rapid and Businesslike Movements Made
BY the Tiny Combatants.
The movements of the combatants are
so rapid in battle that it is difficult to
follow their evoludons, but the plan of
battle seems to be very simple. Two bees
from the hive are sent to kill one intrud-
er, and the latter always tries to force an
entrance, even at the risk of its life. Once
inside it makes room for others Of its COM
panions to enter. and then gathering up
its abdomen in as small a, space a S pos
sible, it assumes the defensive. Two of
the hive bees pounce upon it and, collar
ing it fiercely, they seek to find a vuner-
able point between the rings of its body
to sting it to death. The attacking bee
just as determinedly 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 mauled bees that have not been
stung to death will suddenly assume the
offensive. The contortions and evolutions
of the various fighters are interesting to
the observer
Should the battle go against the attack
ing body, the balance OF the swarm flies
away to seek safety, and the dead car
cases Of their companions are thrown con-
temptuously out of the hive. But in the
event of an opposite termination of the
struggle the poor inhabitants are slaugh-
tered. When their fate has been practi-
cally decided many of them turn traitor
to their cause, and in order to save their
own lives, join the forces of the attack
ing party and display great vigor in kill
ing their former companions. But there
is honest patriotism even among bees. In
every hive there are some who fight TO
the last and prolong the struggle for
hours.

BASE BALL IN ENGLAND.
Americas National Game ia RAPIDLY
Gaining a Foothold There


Gaining a Foothold There.
Mr.. A, G. Spalding, the well known
base ball magnate, who has just re-
turned from trip to England, says
that he was more than impressed with
the interest that is now being taken in
base ball in Great Britain, and for the
hrst time since its introduction there
1t has a promising outlook.
When the American game of base
ball was introduced in England it was
utterly impossible to make expenses.
and the clubs for years were carried on
at loss. Now the game has a very
strong hold throughout the Midlands
and the North of England. The Derby
Club, for the first time since it was or
ganized, has this year paid all its ex-
penses and can now be considered a
paying venture. This is indeed graf
flying to those who helped build I'D the
game in England
While Mr.. Spalding was in England.
the final game for the possession of the
championship cup was played, the Der
by Club winning. thereby becoming
possessors of the trophy for 1897.

IAOh III IhSiAuu, lHcy play ulQ6r the

low our regulations in every respect

Mr.. Spalding states that, of course.
he was interested personally in the de-
velopment of base ball in England. His
first connection with the game in that
country dates back to 1874. when he
arranged trip for the Bostons and
Philadelphia Athletics. On this trip
base ball and cricket was played by the
team very successfully; in fact. Mr..
Spalding even laughs now when he
tells about having PLAYED cricket while
the team was in England as base ball
players, and succeeded in beating some
very strong cricket teams While con-
siderable interest was manifested in the
game at that tine-more out of curl
oslty than anything else-the good
work then accomplished is now bearing
results.

by A. G. Spalding for
nip of Great Britain and


pNhile in England, Mr.. Spalding met
DIR w. H. Wray, of the Crystal Palace
Club. DR.. Wray, who is an enthusiasts
tic follower Of the game, has made a
careful study of the rules and umpires
most of the games that are played
there, and is in every particular a
crank
1t seems to be a hard thing to make
any other game than cricket popular in
England Mr.. Spalding, however, is
firmly convinced of the merits of base
ball. and feels confident that it will
make for itself place among English
sports. To his way of thinking, after
having made a careful survey of the
field when abroad, the time is not far
distant when an international base ball
match will be played between England
and America. When that time arrives,
Mr. Spalding believes that base ball
matches betweenthese countries will
Outrival any other international con-
tests ever held, be it athletics, yacht
races or cricket matches. In the sports
just enumerated they attract but GER
tain classes, whereas, base ball appeals
to the masses.
Mr. Spalding was quite amused at
the way the newspapers handled the
game in England, although they DO not
give it the same space We do here
They nevertheless pay some attention
to it, but in very crude way. The
scores are not printed in full, only by
innings. They are, however, adopting
many of the slang phrases that are SO
popular with the base ba'' crank Of
this country.

coyote can be easily approached, when
once sighted. When near enough to give
chase the back end Of the box is dropped
oy pulling a cord on the drivers seat. The
dogs issue forth in a stream OF 10 or a
dozen, and are familiar enough with the
sport to Immediately start In pursuit OF
