A pretty feature i'm Washington pro-
cessions, says the Star, political and ma
tioual, for many years, has been the
ship of state or constitution, as
GOat, often complete in its appoint
isents, armed with miniature cannon,
and manned by sailors. Sometimes the
intervals between the appearance Of
such floats have been OF such length
that the ship IS hailed Us an entirely
new figure. Under the name Of Con
stlrltion" or Union" however, the ship
Goat has been a feature In political
demonstrations in the United States
for over a century. As far as known the
first exhibition of the kind Cat least In
this part of the country was IN Bal
timore in 17ss, and the credit Of It's in
PRODUCTION belongs to Commodore
Joshua Barney, who, though q mere
boy, was q valiant officer in the revolu-
tion, and distinguished himself IN the
war OF 1912 with his aotilla. In that
year the ratification Of the constitution
was the great question before the peo-
pie, and there was a division of senti-
ment on 1t, those IN favor OF its ratifica-
tion as framed forming the federallst
party. in Baltimore a great fedornlist
demonstration WAS projected--0 pro-
| cession from the eastern purt OF the city
around what is now the haibor to the
hill south Of tho basin. and a mass meet

The largest cabio Of modern tiIDns Ia

tow the drydocl1 to Havnnn- 10 is s3
inches in circumference, but il is by no
means tho largest that ever has been

There are at least two others Of a

One Of these had circumference of %
inches, and was used for the purpose OF
anchoring the ship North Carolina in
tue navy yard at Brooklyn, while the
other was q 24-inch bawser, which was
used as a sheet anchor cable on the Ten

Such an enormous rope was naturally
found TO be unwleldy, fact which was

HoNEY-BEE POISON.
Experiments Made by a German sci-
entist-ChemicaI ana Toxic
Properties.

The chemical and toxic properties of
the poison Of the honey bee have been
a subject for dong study by German
SSientist, DR. POSE Zanger. During his
Investigations Dp. Eanger employed co.
roo bees. 10 found that the fresh poi
son is clear, like water, OF an acrid re
action. bitter taste, and of a fine arU-
matte flavor. On evaporating and dry
ing at a temperature Of 100 degrees
centigrade (s12 degrees Fahrenheit), a
gumny residue Is left. il is soluble in
water; with alcohol it forms an cInul-
siop-like mixture. The aromatic odor
is due to q 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
g12 degrees Fahrenheit, nor by the di-
luted acids or alkalieR 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 beo
poison or two per cent. solution of the
poisonous principle has any effect, but
they act as powerful irrtants on the
mucuous membranes. nis tests, made
on rabbits and other animals show
that when the poison Is brought IN con
tact with tho eye there folloWs lachry-
nation, hyperemia, ehomosis and Group
Gus membranes In oonjunetion The
general condition is also effected; tho
animals become melancholy. talce no

Civilization is transforming nature in
surprising ways, says an exchange.
The dehorning of cattle is an example,
as this practice is gaining favor so rapid
ly that bornless cattle nay be expected
soon TO become the rule rather than the
exception. The first objections were
that il is cruel and unnatural. The
early method of dehorning with saw
was undoubtedly slow and painful, but
specially constructed clippers are now
used that often remove horn in n sim
gle second, and with so little suffering
that feeding Is continued as usual and
the operation is really humane, the frc-
quont injuries ir herds from goring be-
