THE DECLINE OF aAsTRoNoMY


Culinary Art In Paris ON the Verge
of q Crisis.
Paris Correspondence of the Pail Mall Gazette.)
cooking exhibition now in progress in
the rooms OF the SOciete d'Horticulture has
given to eminent cOrdons bleus the op-
pOrtunity Of bewailing the degenerate days
ON which gastronomy has fallen. The au-
thors Of these heartfelt lamentations sre
| no less important culinary persOnages than
| the chefs of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild
and Of the Baronne de Hirsch. The tale
these men unfold Is a sad one. The Gull
| nary art, they declare, is now traversing
| a crisis, the principal cause OF which Is
the irregular hours at which people lake
their II eals.' Even the most distinguished
members OF society are now totally igno-
rant Of or supremeiy Indifferent to, the
art OF eating. Formerly dinner was one
OF the principal events OF life. In properly
conducted houses the guests were ex-
pected to arrive punctuaily, and by the
time they were at table the cook was
ready for them, and they were ready for
the feed. Nowadays dinner is announced
for 7:30 O'Clock. but il may be $3.50 or
even before it begins. By the time
start is made the rotis are overdone. the
sauces have thickened beyond recognition,
the potages lies have cOagulated, and-un-
kindest cut of all-it is the cook who is
blamed.
But this is not all. When people 40 con-
sent to sit down to dinner they conduct
themselves IN the most deplorabie fashion.
They do not appreciate their food. they
bolt IL. The fifteen courses Of which the
dinner at the Baron Alphonse de Roths-
cbild's nightly consists are dispatched In
forty minutes-a crime. Misogynists will
not be surprised to learn that the women
are largely responsible for this state OF
things. Formerly they used to five
O'Clock" punctually at /, and cup OF tea
and a cake sufficed them. At present they
begin five o'clocking'' at and are still
hard at IL al Z. They drink chocolate and
sweet wines and consume incredible guam
titles of sandwiches. foie gras. and cold
meats. Having spoiled their appetites In
this way. 1t Is only natural that they
should take but a lsnguid interest in din
ner. Happily for the Gordon bleu there
are still countries in which his talents are
esteemed and he himself is treated with
proper consideration. There are still no.
blemen in England and Russia who ap-
preciate "a good dinner and take their time
over II when they can find a genius to
cook il for them. And this genius. the two
authorities observed with patriotic pride.

MANY SECURITIES
FLYING SKYWARD
Heavy Dealings in Wall Street
With Striking Advances.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Opens the
Early Stride Forward.
Granger shares Strong and Substan
tial Gains Exhibited i'm Pa
cihc Stocks.

New York, May 10.-The dealings in the
were of immense value, and there wee
many striking advances in prices. To some
extent the reactions and the course OF the
prices reflected the tendency OF the Lon
don market for American stocks which
showed many advances in excess of one
point, and the early cabled advices re-
ported that the break in prices had
brought in food of buying orders from
all quarters. There was as a matter OF
fact no danger whatever in the outside
situation to account for the abrupt recov-
cry in prices.
The Government crop report to be pub
lished this afternoon was eagerly expected
and there was some talk to the effect that
the bank statement on Saturday would
make very strong showing.
Interest was very well distributed
throughout the market. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit was the feature in respect of az
tivity, and 1t advanced rapidly after the
opening. The other local transit stocks
also showed spare gains, and there were
striking recessions scored in the industrial
quarter The granger shares were all
strong, and there were substantial gains
scored in the Pacific stocks. the Atchison
issues, and the Southern stocks Notwith-
standing the advance in the market, the
trading still disclosed evidences of no lit
tie feverishness, as was to BE- ex ected aft
er the decentralization OF Monday and
Tuesday. and the dealings of the first hour
showed many wide and irregular fuctua-
tions.

WARS AMONG THE BEES.

CFrom the Kansas City Star)
Ibid you ever know that bees have wars
among themselves. just as men do?" said
G. W. Reynolds. of Los Angeles, Cal, at
the Midland Hotel Saturday evening.
Well, they do: l own big honey farm
near San Diego. and have made study
of the habits and methods of the little
workers. and in doing so | have come TO
believe that each hive of bees has its
guards or policemen. whose duties ii is
to- keep watch and warn the hive il an
other and stronger hive comes to rob
them. This often happens. you know. \
strong hive raids weaker one. and. aside
from killing hundreds of the bees, steals
all the honey. But if the weaker hive is
warned in time by its policemen it will
prepare to fight and often the stronger
hive IS driven back"
Mr.. Reynolds has a reputation for be-
ing one of the Oldest travelling statesmen
in the United States-he is - years old.
though he doesn't look a day more than
So. and has been on the road fftytwo
years. He owns one of the most produc
tive honey farms in California, and he
knows many curious things about bees
and their habits.
Il have 500 stands on my farm" said he,
"and the annual production of honey is
about 60 tons. There are about 10000 bees
10 each stand. so you see the population
OF my bee city is greater than that Of any
city OF men and women in the world. And
unlike any other city, its population is
changed entirely every forty-flve days, or
almost entirely so. for working bee only
lives that long and the queen bees are the
only ones that reach greater age. They
live year or more.
California honey is about the finest that
is produced anywhere. The wild sage is
the flower most hunted by the little
workers. and during April, May, June. and
July they make most of the honey. On the
market this honey brings from to cents
a pound wholesale SO you see there is
pretty good profit in it"

lai, called at the District building this
morning, and had a conference with Engi-
neer Commissioner Beach, relative to the
Specifications under which proposals for

year will be opened. Mr.. Syme. In act
ing as the spokesman, explained to Cap
tain Beach that Nj. Nicolai felt that the
Specifications. as how arranged. favor the
Pennsylvania Globe Gaslight Company,
which has the contract at the present
time.
Captain Beach explained that he will en-
deavor TO have the District, and not the
contractor. own the naphtha lamps in the
future, and that he had directed that
specifications be drawn Up SO as to pro-
vide for city ownership of the lamps alter
the lst of July. Captain Beach admitted
that the present contractors own the
lamps. but he said that fact would not be
permitted to give the present contractor
any unfair advantage ever other competi-
tors Captain Beach stated that if Mr.
Nicolai bids only for lighting the District
will furnish the lamps, but if he desires
10 bid for both lighting and lamps he will
be given reasonable time to install the
lamps if he is successful in the COMPETE
tiOn. The Engineer Commissioner said
he was In favor Of the freest and fullest
competition and had for that reason re-
dueed the candle power OF the lamps from
twenty to sixteen.

firms the news officially received by the

tan of Morocco had paid the claims of
American citizens for indiginities suffered
by them at the hands of the Morocco
authorities. As soon Admiral Howison
was notified that the claims were salts

startev for Port Said. The Chicago's
presence was the cause of the Sultan's
sudden determination to pay the indemnity.
Naval officers are very much pleased
over the success that attended the Chica-
go's visit to Tangier When the State De-
partment requested that she be ordered
there. the Navy Department found that in
order to keep to her round-the- world
schedule, her stay must be very brief and
the State Department was informed that
she could not remain longer than yester-
day. The flagship reached Tangier on
Sunday and remained off the port while
the consul general of the United States
was politely expressing to the Sultap,s
minister Of the state the hope of this
Government that the claims would be paid
and remarking on the friendliness of the
United States in sending a warship to
Tangier. The money was paid in time to
permit the Chicago to leave In accordance
with her schedule. II there had been any
delay in the negotiations, the Chicago
would have been obliged to leave before
the money had been collected.

ranchers. There was no doubt that the
man was guilty. but he had number Of
friends who were willing to swear to any
thing, and thought that it was my duty
to make the best possible use of them.
They were all willing to swear that the
defendant was forty miles away from the
spot when the horse was stolen, and the
prosecution was unable to break down
their testimony. 1 saw that was going to
free my client, SO 1t was witfiqa satisfied
