The Policy of Isolation.
They have no issue. but are trying hard
to champion the policy of isolation. They
did their best to bring on the present war,
and then, when the supreme test of loyalty
to country came, they refused to vote for
revenue measures which were essential to
prosecution of the conflict.
Their party leaders are confused. They
do not know where to look for their candi-

this nation find an issue between now and
the opening of the next national campaign
I believe that issue will be so-called anti

STING OF THE BEE,
Poisonous Properties That Lurk In the
Honey Maker.

Poisonous Properties That Lurk In the
Honey Maker.
The chemical and toxic properties of
the poison of the honeybee have been a
subject for long study by German sci
enlist, DR.. Joseph Zanger. During his
investigation DR.. Zanger employed 25, =
900 bees. He found that the fresh poison
is clear, like water, of an acid reaction,
bitter taste and of a fine aromatic odor.
On evaporating and drying at tenn
perature of 100 degrees centigrade (212
degrees F. a gummy residue is left. It
is soluble in water; with alcohol it
forms an emulsionlike mixture. The
aromatic odor is due to volatile sub
stance, which disappears on evaporation
and is not poisonous. The poisonous
constituent is not destroyed by short
boiling nor by drying and heating the
residue to S12 degrees F. nor by the di-
luted acids or alkalis.
DR.. Zanger has proved the existence
of formic acid, but he has also proved
that that is not the poisonous principle.
The latter is an organic base, soluble,
with difficulty, in water, but kept in so.

ritants on the mucuous membranes.
His tests made on rabbits and other
animals show that when the poison is
brought in contact with the eye there

junctiva. The general condition is also
affected; the animals become melan-

Cost of Elephants.

I s somewhat Interesting to compare
the weights carried by elephants in the
tin producing districts Of the Malay
peninsula with those used in the long
journeys and mountainous country of
the Lao states. In the peninsula the
distances are seldom more than at most
three or four days. march, and the ele-
plant is expected to carry as much as
900 or 1000 pounds, besides his mahout
and howdah. The latter is often a mere
brace Of panniers slung together SO as
to rest one on each side of the backbone
and covered sometimes with a light
barrel roof of bark. A good tusker car
rying 81 hundredweight will fetch
about e56, and female which can bear
eight hundredweight is worth about
245. a-..~. n III
In the Lao states, where journeys Of
ten days or three weeks are frequent,
the average weight hardly exceeds 300
pounds, or third Of what is usual in
the peninsula. The prices in various
parts Of the country vary considerably.
When we were on the Me Having and
in Muang Nan in 1898, a good tusker
could be had for $50 and female for
e24. At Chieng Mai, where good teak
hauling elephants are in great demand,
tusker may fetch $3.50 and female
anything from $50 to $780,, according
to her strength and ability. Geograph

BREAD OF THE NATIONS.

HOW the stan OF Life Is Made Among
Various Peoples.
It is curious and interesting study
to compare the various materials which
serve the different nations of the world
as the basis of their bread. In this
country, where good bread, made from
spring and fall wheat -four, is within
reach Of all, rarely thought is given
to the fact that, after all, the inhabit-
ants of only a small portion of the
earth's surface enjoy such food. In the
remoter part Of Sweden the poor make
and bake their rye bread twice a year
and store the loaves away, so that even
tually they are as hard as bricks. III,
Farther north still bread is made
from barley and oats. In Lapland oats,
with the inner bark of the pine, are used.
The two together, we'll ground and
mixed, are made into large, fiat Cakes
cooked in a pan over fire. In dreary
Kamchatka pine or birch bark by
itself, we'll macerated, pounded and
baked, frequently constitutes the whole
Of the native bread food. The Icelander
scrapes the Iceland moss'' off the rocks
and grinds it into flour, which serves
both for bread and for buildings.
In some parts of Siberia, China and
other eastern countries fairly palata-
BILE bread is made from buckwheat. In
parts Of Italy chestnuts are cooked,
ground into meal and used for making
bread. Durra, a variety Of the millet, is
much used in the countries of India,
Egypt, Arabia and Asia Minor for max
ing bread. Rice bread is the staple food
Of the Chinese, Japanese and large
portion of the inhabitants of India.
In Persia the bread is made from rice,
flour and milk; it is called "lawash. -
The Persian oven is built in the ground,
about the size of barrel. The sides are
smooth mason work. The fire is built at
the bottom and kept burning until the
walls or sides Of the oven are thorough
~ heated. Enough dough to form a
sheet about one foot wide and about
two feet long is thrown on the bench
and rolled until about as thin as sole
leather, then it is taken up and tossed
and rolled from one arm to the other
and flung on the board and slapped on
the side Of the oven. It takes only few
moments to bake and when baked it is
spread out to COOL This bread is cheap

fishing.
A specimen of the 'hunger bread
from Armenia is made of clover seed,
fax or linseed meal, mixed with edible
grass. In the Molucca islands, the
starchy pith of the sage palm furnishes
white, foury meal. This is made W
into fiat, oblong loaves, which are bakec
in curious little ovens, each being di
vided into oblong cells to receive the
leaves.
Bread is also made of roots in some
parts of Africa and South America. Il
is made from manioc tubers. These
roots are deadly poison if eaten in the
raw state, but make a good food il
properly prepared. To prepare it fol
bread the roots are soaked for severa
days in water, thus washing out thu
poison. The ibers are picked out, driet
and ground into -four: This is mixed
with milk, if obtainable; if not, water
is used. The dough is formed into lit
tie round leaves and baked in hot ashe.
