The Alps are some Sc, 1000 feet in thick
ness and have been folded in most tire
mendous fashion. The strata have not
only been thrown up into buiges, but
hEave actually been thrown over on their
sides in great folds; the arches have
fallen down in many places, so that
many of the Alpine ridges have actually
tumbled over and become inverted:
The red clover, when introduced into
Australia, grew most luxuriantly, and
lowered, but produced no seed. The
reason for this was the absence of
humble bees-the humble bee being
the one that does the fertilizing, almost
exclusively, in the red clover. Bees
were introduced, and the clover seeded
in Profusion consequently. EXACTLY the
same wa the case with the apple. J;

iotions in regard to the work done by
the honey bee: When the weather is
fine a worker can visit from 40 to 80
flowers in six or ten trips, and collect n
grain Of nectar. II it visits 200 and 400
flowers, it will gather five grains. Under
favorable circumstances it will take a
fortnight to obtain Is grains. Itwould,
therefore, take it several years to manu-.
tacture a pound Of honey, which would

Cleveland World.
A telegram that did Mr.. Tyndale Pal
nler great wrong appeared in the Caeye-
land World OF October 2. 1851. Mr.. Palm
er was some years ago connected with the
press OF this city. and since then has been
quite well-known 70 the gas and electric
interests OF Cleveland. The dispatca came
20 the World IN the usual way by IT'S regu-
lar news service and stated in substance
that be had committed theft OF SAC. GO
ana that IL had just come 20 light.
The dispatch stated that a company
known as the South American Welsbacn
Incandescent Light Company had been
organized, with 0. A. Granger as presi-
dent, and ex-senator Joseph NJ. Gazzam
as vice president. IL had an invention and
the article stated that the company had
sent young Palmer 10 Rio Janeiro TO boom
this invention. The dispatch proceeded 70
say that Palmer and a confederate named
Freitas had sold the patent rights for s5le.-
eco and that Mr.. Palmer had reported the
sale as being made for $50. 600 intimating
that he had distracted the difference.
The article did Mr.. Palmer great
wrong. AT the time IL was published he
was residing in London, where he had
established a business as financial agent
OF various American corporations.
The attention OF the Cleveland World
has been directed "a these charges, and
they have been found to- be utterly with
out founda ton. The scope of our inquiry
has extended not only 10 Philadelphia but
70 Rio Janelro. Brazil. where the trans
action in question occurred, and a con-
sidera Bile time has been consumed in It
The result of this inquiry has bean to ex-
onerate Mr. Palmer from either indirec-
ton or dishonesty OF any nature, and dis
closes that the entire transaction was re-
ported fully and completely to his princi-
pals at the time 1t occurred and precisely
as IL occurred.
