The Honey Bee not Native of America

No one seems to have taken the
time and trouble to thoroughly inves-
tigate the early history of the honey
bee in America. Enough is known
however, to assure us that it is not
indigenous to the country. but was, in
all probability, imported by the early
colonists.
The earliest mention of honey in
America, so far as considerable re-
search discloses to the writer, is in
Irving's account Of De Soto's wander
ings. While the adventurer was at
the village of Ichiaha, in June, 1540,
his men found "a quantity Of bears
greese preserved in pots, likewise oil
made from the walnut, and q pot Of
honey. The latter they had not be-
fore seen, nor did they ever again
meet with during their wanderings.'
Some have inferred from this that
the honey bee was in Florida at this
period, and that it was indigenous to
America. But this does not follow !;
first, because the village in which the
honey was found was located in the
country since known as Northern
Georgia, or, perhaps, Northern Ala
bama, and not in Florida second, the
honey mentioned was very possibly
the product of the humble bee,
which was native and very widely
scattered.
Nevertheless, the honey bee was
probably introduced by the Spanish
settlers, in Florida, at least at a later
period, for Bartram, who explored the
country in 1913, mentions honey and
beeswax as articles Of barter among
the Indians. He speaks Of honey in
SO many places in his book, that it
must have been quite common, and,
therefore, could not have been the pro-
duct Of the humble bee, whose store
of honey is very scant. Bartram was
told by physician that there were
few or no bees west Of the peninsula
of Florida, and but one hive in Mobile,
which latter had been brought from
Europe. Traders had also Informed
hia that there was none in West
Florida.
At this period the honey bee was
common all along the eastern shore Of
the country, from Nova Scotia south
! ward. The fact that it was not found
in the interior is good evidence that
the insect was not native of America.
Otherwise natural swarming would
have distributed it throughout the
land long before the arrival of the
white man.
Jonathan Carver, an Englishmau,
explored Wisconsin and the adjacent
territory in 1766-67, and in his book,
published soon after, he mentions the
commonest insects. The honey bee
is not among them, but the humble
bee is referred to as follows: ''The
bees of America principally lodge their
honey in the earth, to secure it from
the ravages of bears, who are remark
ably fond of it.
According to a writer in The Amer
ican Bee Journal for July, 1866, the
honey bee was first noticed b. white
men in Kentucky in 1880, in New
York in 1888. and west Of the Misssis-
sippi in 1897. At the present day
this Industrious little bee is scattered
throughout America, and the produc-
tion of honey is constantly increasing.

Work on Coal Docks.

Missoula, April S.--Supervisor, Weed
of the bridge and building department
of the Northern Pacific reports that
80 per cent" of the work on the new
coal docks is completed. The work has
certainly made good progress, but it Is
now six weeks since the report was that
80 per cent" of the work was COM
pleted. 1t is hoped that it will not take
six weeks more for the completion of
the remaining 10 per cent. All that is
now lacking is the plan for the power
house. The machinery for the handling
of the coal is already in place, and as
soon as the power house plans are re-
ceived it will be a matter of short
time before the fine plant will be in ope-
ration. 1t will be one of the finest on
the whole line of the road when it is
finished

THE STOCK MARKET.
Very Large Volume Of Selling to Take
 Profits.

New York, Nov. 1.-The stock mar
 ket had to absorb a very large volume | of selling to take profits on yesterdays | rise dusing the early hours of to-day's 1 trading. The tone of the market for tue
 rest of the day was rather flat and dis spirited in spite of aggressive strength by a few prominent stocks and notable advances by number of rather ob-
 scure stocks. The profit taking was es- pecialy noticeable in Southern Pacific and Union Pacific and held those stocks
 under yesterdays price for the greater
 part of the day The buying in both of them was nevertheless on a very
 large scale. block of 1000 and upwards
 of Union Pacific making theri appear
 ance frequently in the record. The
 most conspicuous movement of the day
 was in the Baltimore and Ohio stocks,
 the preferred leading. It's extreme ad-
 vance was 7-S, the closing being near
 ly at the top. The common stock added
 l 34 to it's price for the day. The va
 rious metal stocks had a period of
 strength. Otherwise the market was
 rather irregular and disposed to reac-
 ton until a late rally which wiped out
 many previous losses. The grangers
 were conspicuous in the late movement
 led by Burlington which rallied an ex-
 treme 3-8. Isolated movements of im-
 portance were advances in the Buffalo,
 Rochester and Pittsburg stocks of
 points for the common and nine points
 for the preferred, the latter reacting
 points. United States Milling preferred
 fell an additional B. making 2S 1-2 for
 two days, and Mating preferred lost 3 1-2 The hesitating tone of the market was due to a recurrent anxiety over
 the showing to be made by to-morrow's bank statement. This was accentuated by a late stiffening of the call loan rate to per cent. on demand from Monday. The earlier rate had been 6 per cent. and fell as lote as per cent. The sub-treasury to-day paid out about $2 000, ,000 for bonds offered for redemp- ton and the subtreasury's debit bal ance at the clearing house of $3.351 ,649 reflected it's payments for the same purpose yesterday. But these addi- tions to current supplies, coming late in the week, will have diminished ef- feet on the cash showing of the banks, owing to the system of averages. The net result of sub-treasury operations other than these is small. The interior money movement by express and by sub treasury transfers has resulted in a cash net less to the banks of over $1,- GOO, 900, The heavy loan contraction of the latter part of last week, however, will be partly reflected in this weeks
 ,yil tn reserve requirements. Apparently there has been some expansion of loans dur ing this week by the banks With the inflow of funds. The net result upon reserves is thus very difficult to estimate. Sterling exchange made fur ther progress upward to-day and served to add to the apprehension that any ac- tual ease of money at this center would lead to a demand for gold upon it from abroad.

CT and sewed up the ruptured blood vessels. Then they packed everything back neatly into its place and sewed up the arm pr. Smith suggested that the husband be brought up to see the result of the operation before the bandages were put on.
 The man had sat with stolidity of his race in his chair in one corner of the room, hardly moving all the afternoon except to light a fresh cigarette. But sometimes, when the woman would partially come out from the effects of the chloroform and would moan, could see his fingers clinch and his face tWitch. When the doctors said he might see the result of their work he walked over to the stretcher and stood looking for moment at his wife's arm. "Gracias!'' he said. That was all, but if ever there was word that came from human heart that one did. The effect it had on me is of no consequence, because l am new to this butcher fea- ture of war, but when a major general who has been through three wars turns away with tears on his cheeks, and two doctors who have cut off enough legs and arms and dug out enough bullets to know better both look up with mist in their eyes. I insist that a plain, everyday civilian has q right at least to feel little queer.
 After the woman had come out from under the influence of the chloroform the Chinos and her husband carried her home When the soldiers who had gone along to carry the provisions that the general had sent over, because the hus- band had said there was nothing to eat in the house, returned, they said they believed that the husband was an in surgent soldier.
 l hope he went back and told the oth- CT insurgents that he had seen Filipi- no woman who had beep shot by her own people taken up by the Americans and cared for as tenderly and gently as though she had been queen. l also hope that the husband told his comrades that he had seen an American brigadier- general stand for over two hours by the side of that Filipino woman and refuse to go away until the operation was fin ished. I hope the husband told the in surgents these things. It may convince them that the Americans are a much better people than they have been told. Manila Letter to the Chicago Tri- bune s
