A HONEY BEES RESTLESS LIFE.
1t Begins When Three Days Old and
Dies mt Forty-Five.

1t Begins when Three Days Old and
Dies at FOrty-Five.
G.. W. Reynolds. of Los Angeles, CAL,
one of the oldest travelling men in the
United States, is Il years of age. Mr..
Reynolds has a ranch, of which he en-
joys telling even more than he does of
the experiences through which he has
passed during his half century upon
the road. The ranch is neal San Diego,
Cal. The chief product is honey. This
product is gained from two apiaries,
which Mr.. Reynolds visits every time
his business permits him to go to south
ern California.
"In my apiaries, which are cared for
by my son." said he, there are lao
stands of bees. The honey season lasts
from April to July. This season my
bees yielded 10000 pounds of honey,
which sells in that country in bulk
lots at four cents a pound. Two of
the hives gave over 500 pounds each
For ten years 1 have been interested in
bees in a small way, and l take greater
interest in them every year. A hive or
stand of bees is worth $3.50. In it are
the queen, the drones and the workers,
a total population of from 10000 to
$4,000 bees.
This very good-sized colony" he con-
tinued, resides in a hive or wooden
box. in the hive are a dozen frames
Is by z inches. In these the bees make
or deposit the honey, a foundation of
wax having been first placed in each
frame by the ~beekeeper, so that the
bees may have something to build upon.
The honey is taken out of the frames
every other week during the honey sea-
son. While doing so there is little need
of protecting the hands. The bees seem
to be most inclined to sting one in the
face. So, as a ~precaution, the man who
is removing the honey from the hives
wears a straw hat, from the brim of
which is hung a silk veil, like they have
to do up in the Klondike country to
ward off the summer mosquitoes.
"The queen is an absolute monarch
within her dominions. She is the I'M
disputed boss of the job. An ordinary
bee lives during the working season
only As days. Young ones are being
hatch1d out all the time. A bee goes
to work at the tender age of three
days, and hustles like a veteran for
AZ days. Then it is just naturally all
tired out, 1 suppose, for it dies. The
queen lives longer, and when a young
queen ONE into existence in the hive
she drives the old queen out. Her loyal
subjects follow her in her Punishment,
and that is what makes the swarm.
"1n southern California the bees
make water-white honey when the
black sage is in blossom. When the
white sage is Towering the honey has
an amber tinge. In winter the bees
make no honey. Seventy-tive car loads
of the article are shipped out of San
Diego county in good years."-Denver

THE GLORIOUS REDWOOD,
Grandeur of the Forest Kings of the
Pacific CoQst.


The redwood is the glory of the Coast
range. 1t extends along the western
slope, in a nearly continuous belt ten
miles wide, from beyond the Oregon
boundary TO the south of Santa Cruz,
a distance of nearly 400 miles, and in
massive, sustained grandeur and close
ness of growth surpasses all the other
timber woods of the world. Trees
from 10 to Is feet in diameter and 800
feet high are not uncommon, n a few
attain a height of $50 feet, or even 400,
with a diameter at the base of Is to 20
feet or more, while the ground beneath
them is a garden of fresh, eNuberant
ferns, lilies, g%aultheria and rhododen-
dron.
AS timber the redwood is too good to
live. The largest sawmills ever .uilt
are busy along its seaward border.

was the favcrite in the betting. Hugh
Leonard was chosen referee. Bob F1tZslm-

than his adversary and fully fifty pounds
heavier. When time was called both stepped
to the center of the mat and Yousouf was
the first to get his hands on. Roeber kept
sprinting away from the big fellow and

Chairman CaIdwcll's Fast Train Fare
Decision Not Perfect.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The roads
running the fast trains between Chicago and
Denver, on which Chairman Caldwell, as
arbitrator, said 81 extra fare should be
charged, have found a very easy way of
getting around the extra fare, although it
is not probable they will adopt it, The de-
cision of the arbitrator was that the extra
fare should be charged on all business orig
mating at or passing through Chicago. 1t
is to be 81 for each passenger in the day
coach and 81 for each passenger in the
sleeper. If the man intending to use the
sleeper to Denver waits until he has gone a
short distance from Chicago before buying
a sleeping car ticket he will be in the day
coach class Of passengers, and as the Sleep
ing car business did not originate in his case
until after Chicago had been left behind,
he can be called upon to pay but the 81 and
can save himself So. There is absolutely
nothing insthe ruling of the arbitrator to
prevent passenger getting off and buying
a sleeping car ticket and getting on the cars
again with net profit to himself of just s..
