Though the late Robert Ingersoll had
many oratorical triumphs he is charged
with at least one disastrous failure. 1t
occurred at an evening meeting of the
delegates to the Republican National con-
yention in 1888. Before the convention
m 1t there had been much favorable men7
tion of the name of Walter q. Gresham
as a candidate. Indiana had, however,
instructed for Harrison. lngersoH fay-
ored Gresham and he took the first OPP
portunity to make speech In his favor.
The delegates who sat and listened to the
famous orator had no idea what his ob-
iect was. They heard him describe in
eloquent terms the qualities to be de-
sired in candidate. They were spell
bound as he glorified the history of the
party. Finally, he came to the climax.
As he named Walter q, Gresham chill
seemed to fall Ga The audience. lnger-
soil stood with a smile on his face tn
watch the effect of his words. Gradu-
ally it faded away The entire Indiana
delegation got up and left the house in
body. There was no applause. In
some way the great orator had entirely
spoiled the chances of his favorite. Final
ly he put on his hat and went out, a
thoroughly disappointed man.

1t seems a little strange that yellow
fever should make its appearance at
Hampton, VT, while no cases are report
ed from the Gulf States, Once during
the sos Norfolk and Portsmouth were
visited severely by yellow fever, both
places being .hen in filthy condition.
Since then Virginia has been free from
the disease. 1t is not agreeable to learn
that in spite of all the precautions which
have been taken yellow fever has found
it's way into this country. But it is much
better the disease should break out at Il
place like Hampton, off the highways of
trade, than in New Orleans or Charles

Japan's Queer Stores.

Japanese are very fond Of strolling
through their bazaars. You enter at
one door and leave by another. Goods
for sale are displayed on each side Of
nisles that wind through the length
Of the shop. Passing up and down
these aisles, they lead you to the Sec
ond and often third story Of the build
Ing and then back again through diff
ferelt aisles, causing you to travel the
length Of the establishment many
times. Finally you see the doorway a
few feet distant, but even then you
must travel this maze several times It's
length to escape.
Usually shopping Is very restful In
Japan. You sit around on the floor,
and in some shops they bring you cups
Of tea to sip and n ."hibachi" from
which to light your pipe.-Baltimore

WINGS OF THE HONEYBEE
A Microscopic View Of One of Ma
ture'n 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 a single wing.
The upper Of the two wings Is about
half an inch In length, the lower a little
shorter. The wings come together
where they are Joined to the body;
they are otherwise separate. When the
bee goes into Its hive, 1t folds Its wings
together, II leaf over the other, so
that they will take up less room. When
1t goes abroad. 1t spreads it's wings and
couples them together with the hooks.
When looked at under the microscope,
the upper edge Of the lower wing Ia
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 a total space Of little
than a quarter Of an inch, there
are attached 10 Or 20 tiny, bony hooks.
There Is a little t%hickening at the base
Of each hook, where nature has
strengthened It,, and n 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 spring.
The lower edge Of the upper wing, as
looked at under the microscope, Ia seen
to be curled up into n f1ange or trough.
When the bee comes out Of the hive, 1t
hooks the hooks on the upper edge Of
the lower wing into that fiange ortrough
at the lower edge of the upper wing
and 80 makes the two wings practical
ly one.-New York Sun.

1t all sounds simple in the recital.
The wonder Of the thing comes into
view only when one reflects on the
speed and nicely with which cumbrous
parts are made to do their duty. The
piston and connecting bar of Il modern
locomotive weigh some 600 pounds.
When the speed is GO miles an hour,
these parts travel back and fortl, five
times a second. Ten times a second,
ut the end of every stroke, the piston
head Is at rest. 1t must pass from this
condition to Il velocity of l,SOO feet per
minute in one-twentieth of n second.
The drive wheels measure more than
Il rod at every revolution, but when,
going GO miles an hour they must turn
more than 800 times a minute.
Sixty miles an hour Is the merest
commonplace to the mind Of the up
to date railroad man, but 1t

that are wonderful to the outsider. 1t
