HoNEY-BEE POISON.
Experiments Made by German Sci
entist-Chemical and Toxic
Properties.

The chemical and toxic properties of
the poison of the honey bee have been
subject for long study by German
scientist, DR.. Jose Zanger. During his
investigations DIR. Zanger employed 25,-
900 bees. He found that the fresh poi
son is clear, like water, of an acrid re-
action, bitter taste, and of a fine aro-
matte flavor. On evaporating and dry
ing at q temperature of 100 degrees
centigrade (212 degrees Fahrenheit), a
gummy residue is left. IL is soluble in
water; with alcohol it forms an emul-
sion-like mixture. The aromatic odor
is due to volatile substance, which dis
appears on evaporation, and is not
poisonous. The poisonous constituent
is not destroyed by short boiling, nor
by drying and heating the residue to
212 degrees Fahrenheit, nor by the di-
luted acids or alkalies., DR.. Zanger has
proved the existence of formic acid, but
he has also proved that there is not the
poisonous principle. The latter is an
organic base, soluble with difficulty in
water, but kept in solution by an acid.
On the healthy skin neither the bee
poison or two per cent. solution of the
poisonous principle has any effect, but
they act as powerful irrtants on the
mucuous membranes. His tests, made
on rabbits and other animals, show
tina: when the poison is brought in con-
tact with the eye there follows lachry-
nation, hyperemia, chemoss and Group
Gus membranes in conjunction. The
general condition is also affected; the
animals become melancholy, take no
food, but are very thirsty, and the urine
shows small amounts of albumen.

ABOUT THE SMALL GUNS.
They Play Most Important Part in
Harbor Defense Where Great
Guns Would BE Useless.

Much has been written of the big guns
that were to defend the harbors. In the
| system of defenses the smaller guns
play most important part, both to sup
plement the work of the great rifles
and to be used against bodies of men
who otherwise might carry the works
by assault. For direct service against
attack by men the great guns are use
less. Their value is altogether in the
power of destruction possessed by them,
says the New York Press.
The smaller guns of the United States
artillery service are made in scores of
styles and are designed for all the diff
ferent kinds Of service for which a gun
can be needed.
Among the smaller arms which have
been adopted by the ordnance depart
ment of the United States army in the
lastyear are six-pounder rapid-fre guns
to be used either behind ramparts or in
the open against landing parties, three
inch, 16-pounder rapid-tire guns for
rampant or easements, five or six-inch
rapid-fre guns for use with moving
troops. Calling, Maxim and briggs

MONSTER HAwSERS.
Big Ropes Used in the Navy foI
Cables and Towing Heavy
Vessels,

The largest cable of modern times is
the manila hawser which was sued to
tow the drydock to Havana 1t is 90
inches in circumference, but it is by no
means the largest that ever has been
made, although it has the reputation of
breaking the record.
There are at least two others of a
greater circumference, but both older.
One of these had circumference of %
inches, and was used for the purpose OF
anchoring the ship North Carolina in
the navy yard at Brooklyn, while the
other was 24-inch hawser, which was
used as sheet anchor cable on the Ten
nessee, when she was stationed in the
Mediterranean in the COS.
Such an enormous rope was naturally
found to be unwieldy, a fact which was
abundantly demonstrated when the
vessel encountered a storm in the Bay
of Naples. When the Tennessee re-
turned TO her native home in America
the hawser was sent to the oakum mills
and made into oal:um.

DELEGATES CHOSEN.
Saturdays Primaries Holly Contested
Throughout the District.

There are few voting precincts in the
Fifteenth Congressional District which
did not have a more or less exciting
contest Saturday for the election OF
delegates to the Congressional conven-
ton to be held at GAINESVILLE next Tues
day. Throughout Washington county
the contests were in most cases very
spirited, the opposing lists of delegates
being generally considered as repre-
senting Col. Riley and Hon. Ii. G. Van
Voorhis. The result is not exactly
known, the returns not having been
received from many townships, but it
is certain that Mr.. Van Voorhis has Sc
cured some delegates and that Col.
Riley will not have his county solid
In the city there were contests in
each ward, but the majorities for the
Riley delegates were without exception
very large, the total being over 600 ma
jority in vote Of 100 in the six wards.
The delegates elected were as follows
First Ward-Charles Best, Henry
Cherry.
Second Ward-E. R. Alderman, P. c.
Mugrage.
Third Ward T. F. Davis, Robert
Simpson, Henry BOIL, c. c. Cham ber-
lain.
Fourth Wards. II. Plumer, j. e.
Hardy, j. w. Lansley.
Fifth Ward-Alla Schnauffer, Asa
Mccoy.
Sixth Ward-Rollo Putnam.
In Harmar precinct Col. Riley's
home, Perry Stage defeated w. H. Hen
ming, Jr., by one vote, but we are in
formed that Mr.. Stage has declared
himself Riley man. While the pri-
mary was in progress in that precinct
Henning was assaulted By Gus Harris
and severely beaten about the face.
He was brought up to the office of DR..
Hardy, who dressed the wounds. So
far as we have learned this was the
only physical clash of the day.

SHIPPING FISH ALIVE.
4 New and simple Danish Method for
Delivering Finny Food
Far Inland.

A new method of transportation for
live fish from seaports into the interior
has just been patented by Danish fish
dealer of Copenhagen, and the system
is so simple and yet so perfect that one
wonders why it has never been thought
OF before, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The inventor had number of
large bags made of waterproof mate
rial, strong oilcloth appearing to give
the best results. These bags, after be-
ing filed with water and the fish to be
sent inland, nre laced at the top and
either suspended in the cars from hooks
in the roof of the car or from folding
frames taking almost DO space and al
lowing the close hanging of these bags,
20 that there is but little movement be-
tween the bags. They may also be set
upright alongside each other, but sus-
pension has been found to be prefer
able, particularly for long distances.
Several transports of fish made over
long distances have shown the splendid
features of the new system, for the fish
arrived IN excellent condition after a
16-hour ride.

GAS EXPLOSION.

Fireman at the Boiler Works Painfully
Burned Saturday.
Saturday morning Mr. P. E. Remely
fireman at the boiler works, met with
a painful accident while at work and
his injuries may prove serious. He was
lighting the fires under the boilers
when quantity of natural gas which
had collected in one of the fire boxes
exploded The fiery blast shot ont
through the furnace door several feet
striking Mr.. Remely in the face uand
breast. He was knocked down by the
force Of the explosion and his face &c..
verely burned. His heavy wooden
shirt saved his neck and body or he
would undoubtedly have been much
more seriously injured. AS it is, Mr.
Remely fears that his eyes have suf.
fured. .
The explosion was purely accidental.

IRISH EELIzF III FAIRIES.
The story o: "a Lost Child Who Was
Found Recently ny Smoking
Out the Sprites.

In u village in the west OF Ireland a
few weeks ago a child wandered away
| into the country and was lost. Its anx-
ious parents. after q weary and unavail-
ing search, reported the matter TO the
constable in charge Of the village. After
carefully questioning them he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
prelimiDaries, because ii was clear TO
lin that the poor child had been car
ried off by the fairies, according to
their we.l-known custom. The consta-
bic told them to make fire and burn
il, ii as much of certain herb as they
could find. They did so at once. Then,
according to his instructions, they went
again in search of the child. He had de-
c!ared that the smoke Of the btlrning
herb would force the fairies TO bring
the child back, and, sure enough, on
going over the ground they had previ-
oGsly searched, they found the little
boy asleep beside stream, says the
New York Sun.
The reputation and authority of that
constable have now increased a hun
dredfoid in all the countryside, and
very few householders in those parts
now have the teraerity TO risk offending
"the good people" as they call the
fairies (Inuch as the Greeks used to call
the furies 1.-The Eumenides," or we'll
wishing ones). by omitting to leave out
every night the traditional bowl of milk
and the griddie cake for their benefit.
The constable himself believes his
charm brought the child back. Yet,
like all the Royal Irish consta bulary, he
has had to pass fairly stiff examina-
ton in order to be received into the
service.

SEVENTEENTH WILL GO.
ohio's Quota Increased From Six Regi-
ments tie Eight.

WASHINGTON. May THE eight
regiments of the Ohio National Guard
how in Camp Bushnell, Columbus, will
go to the front intact. The Presidents
call was for only six regiments from
the Buckeye State, but through the in
defatigable efforts of Charles Dick,
lieutenant colonel of the Eighth Regi-
ment, all the troops called out by Gov
ernor Bushnell will be enlisted in the
United States volunteer army, and have
chance to participate in the Spanish
war if the conflict is not ended before
the land forces are needed.
When the Presidents proclamation
was issued last week Ohio's Governor
and Adjutant General, in the enthusi-
asm and exuberance of the occasion,
called out eight regiments of infantry
instead of six, the State't apportior-
ment as determined upon by the War
Department. When they discovered
that they had more than 5000 troops
in camp instead of 7,24s, Ohio's allot-
ment, they asked the War Department
to allow the addition. Their requests
were met with peremptory refusals,
and there appeared to be no alterna-
tive but to send two regiments, the
Eighth and Seventeenth, back home.
Both will now be allowed seats on the
band wagon.

Fitzhugh Lee, who was a major gener-
al in the Confederate army. and Repre-

TALK about what the U. S. will do
with the Philippine Islands, which
have been so gallantly captured by
our Asiatic squadron under Commodore
Dewey, is altogether premature. 1t is
a bridge that the administration will
not reach until the war is ended, and
consequently has not been seriously
considered by the President and cabi-
net. That the islands will be held by
the US. during the continuation Of the
war is the only thing that is certain;
ali stories about the final disposition of
the islands are founded upon nothing
more substantial than guesses.
