Numerous requests have been re-
ceived at the war department from
municipal authorities and enterpris-
ing citizens for share in the captured
cannon, which, according to Santiago
dispatches, are to be forwarded north
for distribution among the principal
cities of the United States. The de-

concerning the cannon than what they
have seen in the newspapers.
One of the first requests received by
the secretary of war came from De-

from Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Phil

has been received as to when the ship

OUR GROWING NAVY.
Fifty-Five War Vessels Now Under
Course Of Construction,
When Completed They Will Place the
Unitsd States as the Third Ne-
val Power of the
World.

The remarkable rapidly with which
the naval power Of the United States
Is being increased at the present time
may be realized when 1t is stated that
IS war vessels are now under contract
for the government, and that their
aggregate tonnage far exceeds that Of
the vessels building at any one time
during the civil war. This vast con-
struction programme, which has ex-
cited more attention abroad than at
home, has been authorized gradually
by congress, until the vessels soon to
be completed will place the United
States third in rank among the sea
powers. In addition to the enormous
feet, including auxiliaries, actually in
construction at the present time, 20
vessels are in various states OF readi-
ness and the shipbuilders are hurriedly
gathering the material for 35 others.
OF the IS vessels, eight are first-class,
heavily armored, sea-going battle
ships, SO are torpedo boats, four are
monitors, and one Is powerful
cruiser.
Chief Constructor Hichborn has
completed tabulated statement
showing the degree of completion Of
the 20 vessels now nearly ready for
commission, or rapidly approaching
that condition, from which 1t ap-
pears that IT of these vessels have al
ready been launched and that the
others will be afoat before the end Of
this year.
OF the five battleships, the Kear-
sarge, the Kentucky and the Illinois,
building at Newport News, Va, are
respectively 6S, 66 and IS per cent.
completed. The Alabama, at the
Cramps yard, Philadelphia. has adj
vanced to SO per cent, and the Wis
consin, which Is to be launched at the
Union iron works, San Francisco, next
month, is exactly half finished.

BUSY BUNDLE BEES.
The Part Which These Busy Little
Workers Play i'm the Fertiiiza-
ton of Many Flowers.

Barney Hoskin Standish writes an ar
ticle on 1.-THE Bumble-Bee" for ST.
Nicholas. Mr.. Standish says: The work
cross-fertilization of flowers is as i'm
portant as that of the honey-bee, and
these two stand at the head of the list
of insects useful in this respect. Each
has it's flowers which it alone visits, but
there are many flowers on neutral
ground, visited by both. So we may
say Of the bumble-bee, as of the honey
bee, the more bumble-bee the more
seeds; the more seeds the more flowers
especially wild flowers, as the tall bell
flower, touch-me-not, Solomon 's-seal,
gentian, Dutchmen's -breeches and tur-
tle-head. But probably the most i'm
portant work this insect does for agri-
culture is upon the fields of red clover.
There is abundant proof that this plant
will not produce seed without the CO.
operation of the bumble-bee. 1t is i'm
possible for the wind to bring about the
fertilization of the seed, as it may do in
the case of Indian corn, grain and some
forest trees. The tube of red-clover
blossoms, too, is so long that other in
sects Gncluding the honey-bee) are not
regular visitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumble-bee. This
insect is not native of Australia, and
red clover failed to produce seed there
until bumble-bees were imported. AS
soon as they became numerous the
plant could be depended upon for seed.
| Again, the blossoms of the first crop Of
| the medium red clover" of our own
| country are just as perfect as those of
the second crop. but there are too few
bumble-bees in the field, so early in the
season, to produce fertilization; hence
little or no seed in this crop. If humble
bees were sufficiently numerous there
| is no reason why much larger yields of
clover seed might not be expected than
at present.
Here is what a well-informed farmer
says about it:
"It was formerly thought that the
world rested on the shoulders of Atlas.
l can prove that its prosperity rests on
the bumble-bee. The world cannot
prosper without the farmers product.
The farm will not be productive with
out clover. We cannot raise clover
without seed, and we cannot have
clover-seed without the bumble-bee, be-
cause it is this insect that carries the
pollen from flower to flower, securing
its development and continuance. Let
US learn to know and to protect our
friends 4"
