WINGS OF THE HONEYBEE,
A Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful Schemes.

Microscopic View of One of Ma
lures Wonderful Schemes.
At a meeting of the New York Mi
croscopical society the president of the
organization exhibited, besides other
things. the honeybee's wing. showing
the booklets by means of which the
lower Of the two wings Of the bee is
joined to the upper wing In flying, thus
making them practically single wing.
The upper of the two wings is about
half an inch in length, the lower little
shorter. The wings come together
where they are Joined to the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into it's hive, it folds its wings
together, one leaf over the other, SO
that they will take up less room. When
1t goes abroad. it spreads its wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
the upper edge Of the lower wing is
seen to be REINFORCED as though 1t had
an extra plate or rib stretched along
there, and to this rib, spaced apart at
regular intervals, though they are all
contained within total space of little
=
more than a quarter Of an inch, there
are attached 10 or 20 tiny. bony hooks.
There Is little thickening at the base
Of each hook, where nature has
strengthened it, and one is inclined to
regard the hooks as inset separately
and to look for the rivets wherewith
they were secured to the plate or rib
from which they SDrinQ
The lower edge Of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope, is seen
to be curled up into fange or trough.
When the bee comes out Of the hive, it
hooks the hooks on the upper edge Of
the lower wing into that fange ortrough
at the lower edge of the upper wing
and so makes the two wings practical

WHEN MEN MISS SUCCESS.
Idleness and IncOmpetency Keep the
Business Novice Down.

Idleness and IncOmpetency Keep the
Business Novice Down.
Walter P. Phillips, the founder of the
national newspaper corporation known
as the United Press, and the inventor
Of Phillips Geographic code, a typical,
energetic American, who has put many
young men in the news gathering bust
ness, believes that the cause of failure
everywhere among young business be-
ginners lies In incompetence.
Nine-tenths of the young men who
are struggling for name and place in
the world are united for the callings
they have picked out for themselves. Be-
sides an unlimited supply Of energy
and whole heartedness in the work be-
fore him, the successful man Of the
future must know his business from
A to q.
The next great drawback to success
is idleness. Nothing worth while Is
accomplished without work, and plenty
Of it. Things do not happen without
q cause, and behind every great life
there are years Of concentrated energy
and tireless industry. Idleness will
make any man q failure; intelligent
work will land any man among the
successful. 1t Is all 80 simple and so
trite that one hesitates to put the fact
down in cold blood, and yet how few
men recognize, or. recognizing. live up
to the axiom that labor conquers all
things.
Idleness and the consciousness of in
competency should make any man
ashamed Of himself and drive him to
do something that is worth the doing.
1t is within the grasp of every one to
learn some one thing that will yield
both pleasure and profit. Success
comes only to those who seek it.
The young man who is really in
earnest will not have to be advised
how to succeed. He may learn much
by studying the failures of others. how
ever, and he will always find. after a
survey of the great legion Of the un-
successful, that two causes have
brought them to their present misery
-idleness and incompetency- Saturday

A Terrible Tumble.

Most marvellous Of all the stories of
great falls Is the account Of Charles
Woolcot's terrific tumble from height
of no less than 5000 feet. 1t was in
Venezuela, and he was making para
chute descent. The parachute refused
to open till within 100 or 200 feet from
the ground. Then it spread out sud-
denly and split.
The unfortunate man crushed both
ankles and both knees, broke his right
thigh and hip, dislocated his spinal col
umn and suffered other injuries. Yet
after year in a hospital he recov-
cred sufficiently to write an account of
what was probably the most fearful
accident mortal man ever survived.

NORTH SCRANTON NOTES,
n. B. Belts Charged with Violation
of City ordinance-Another Sewer
Cave-in-other News Notes.

II. B. Belts, of Grand View avenue,
was before Alderman Myers last night
on the information of G. s. Watson, u
neighbor. who charged him with vic
lating a city ordinance in dscharging
firearms within the city limits. The
case grows out of the shooting of q
blooded dog owned by Watson, and
which was at the time in a lot adjoin-
ing that Of Belts. The defendant, II
appears, has been pestered of late by
the visits of neighboring dogs, which
have tracked his porches and COM
mitted other depredations not to his
liking. One of three of the CANNES, It
is stated, have suffered by his gun,
and Watson's dog was the last to come
under the eye of the shooter.
WatsOn's dog was not killed, how
ever, and a further action of cruelty
to animals, and also one of trespass
in claim for damages was accord
inglv brought. In the matter of vio-
lating the city ordinance there was a
summary conviction and the fine pro-
vided was imposed as well as the costs.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY CASE.

Patrick Gallagher, of Providence, a
few days ago appeared before Alder
man Ruddy and swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Robert Gaurd, also OF
Providence, on the charge of assault
and battery. Guard could not be found
until yesterday morning, when he was
arrested and placed in the lookup in
the municipal building.
Last evening he was brought before
Alderman Ruddy for a hearing. Ac-
cording to the evidence of Mr.. Gal
lagher and several witnesses, the as
sault took place on the night of Oct. Z,
when the defendant and prosecutor
were passengers on a Providence car.
1t appears Gaurd and a man named
Monahan had dispute and were about
to strike each other when Gallagher
stepped in as peacemaker and, as is
usually the result in such cases, he
was roughly handled, hence the suit.
Gaurd was asked to furnish $500 bail,
in default of which he was committed
to the county Jail.

Hon. John r. Farr, William Farrell
and b. G. Morgan, the special com
mittee appointed by President c. Il.
Daniels at the recent meeting of the
board of trade, will today begin an ac-
tive canvass for stock in subscriptions
for the proposed new tin plate plant,
which they confidently expect will be
located in West Scranton.
In conversation with Tribune man
last evening, Mr. Farr stated that al
ready he has met with much encour-
agement and several well known busi-
ness men have promised to take stock
in the new industry.
1T will require considerable capital
to secure the plant" he said but l
am satisfied that it will be the greatest
boom for West Scranton we have ever
had"
"If the moneyed men of this side
will only put their shoulders to the
wheel" continued Mr.. Farr, 1--WE will
be able to raise the required amount
by the first of January. That is the
time limit for the West Scranton peo-
pie to show that they mean business
and secure an industry that will be Of
great benefit to the city and our people.
Men who owe their success in life
to the start they received in West
Scranton should have sufficient pride
in this locality to invest their money
in an enterprise which will be con-
trolled by local stockholders and bring
employment to our people. The plac-
ing of valuable tracts of land on the
market for home sites has made it
possible for West Scranton to become
one Of the best industrial sections in
Northeastern Pennsylvania and I hope
this proposition will receive the re-
cognition ii deserves"
