The Ree's STING.

The chemical and toxic properties OF
the poison Of the honey bee have been
a subject for long study by German
scientist. DR.. Joseph Ianger. During ms
investigations DR.. Ianger employed %
O0O bees. He found that the fresh
poison is clear. like water, OF an acid re-
action. bitter taste and Of fine arO-
matte odor. On evapOrating and drying
AT a temperature OF 100 degrees centigrade
(2l2 degrees FahrenheiD, a gummy resi-
due is left. 1t is soluble in water. with
alcohol Il forms an emulsion ike mixture.
The aromatic odor is due TO a volatile
substance. which disappears on eyapora-
ucn. and is not poisonous. The poisonous
constituent Is not destroyed by short boil
ing. nor by drying and heating the RESIDUE
to 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit nor BY the
diluted acids nor alkalies. Or. Langer
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 i'm solution by an acid.
On the healthy skin neither bee poison
nor "a two per cent. solution or the pois-
onous principle has any effect, but they
act as powerful irritants on the mucous
membranes. His tests made on rabbits
and other animals show that when the
poison is brought in contact With the eye
there follow lachrymatiOn. hyperemia,
chemosis and crOupous membrane on cOn-
iunctiva The general condition Is also
affected: the animals become melancholy
take no food. but are very thirsty, and

men.

COMMISSIONER
WILSON LOSES.
Supreme Court Dismisses Case For
Lack Of Jurisdiction.
CONTEMPT CHARGE DISMISSED
On the Ground That Mr.. Caldwell Was
Not Aware the Court Had Taken
Cognizance OF the Contempt
Case Loses No Right.
CONTEMPT CHARGE DISMISSED

WASHINGTON, March H.-In the
United States Supreme Court to-day the
case OF ]. w. Wilson VS.. the State Of
North Carolina I'm relation Of l.. &. Cald-
well, was dismissed on the ground that
the court was without jurisdiction. Inc
case involves the right of the Governor
OF North Carolina TO remove members OF
the Railroad Commission from Office I'M
der the State law OF 1891, and this right
was sustained By to-day's decision.
THE CAUSE
Mr.. Wilson was formerly chairman OF
the Railroad Commission and was sum-
marily removed on the ground that he
was a railroad stakeholder contrary TO
the law. and l.. .. Caldwell appointed in
his stead. Mr. Wilson refused TO vacate
and Mr.. Caldwell began quo warranto
j,oceeding against him to test the title
10 the office.
The State courts decided against VIII
sons contentious. and this view was prac-
ucallv sustained by the decision rendered
to-day holding the United Court TO be
without jurisdiction.
Justice Peckham in deciding the case
said that as the office was exclusively a
state Office the United States Court had
to deal only with the question whether
Mr. Wilson was deprived of any right
guaranteed by him by the Federal Con-
sututlon. lie had not been so deprived
and accordingly the court. was without
jurisdiction.
NO CONTEMPT.
The case also involved proceeding on
motion OF Mr. Wilson to punish Mr. Cald-
well for contempt in proceeding upon the
Judgment Of tho state court while the
case was pending in the United states
Court This was also dismissed because
Il appeared that Caldwell was ignorant OF
the fact that the court had taken cogni-
zanco Of the contempt proceeding

that if voted It would result I'm party

which gives such action or Is responsible

There is a feeling among them he
said, that the United states Is afraid TO
fight and that they can do anything they
please / am as firmly convinced as any
man can be that tho blowing up OF the
Maine was not due to any submarine
mine. This belief is shared by all Cubans
that the Maine was blown up by tor

"As TO our reasons for thinking so:
first, there is the fact that the night be-
fore the Maine explosion the Alfonso
which had been anchored near was moved
TO "A safe distance away;
Second. the fact that not once since
the day Of the explosion has any seaman
or marine from the Alfonso been allow

that the officials are afraid the sailors
