Slot Machine Banks.

The Thrift bank, limited, of London,
is preparing to establish an innovation
in the way of slot machine banks with
view 10 encouraging saving habits
among the poorer classes of England
The plan is to place some thousands
tions, in factories and public places
BY prodding penny in the slot the
depositor can secure ticket, and when
these tickets have accumulated to the
value of shillings (621S cents) they
may be exchanged for a deposit at the
bank. The deposits are to bear inter-
est at 21z per cent and may be with
drawn at any time under the usual
conditions.
The results of this experiment will
be watched with considerable interest
in this country. A penny savings sys-
TEN may seem insignificant, but the
aggregate deposits, even of such small
coins, will reach an enormous aggre-
gate IL the system meets with popular
favor. No doubt for a time the novel
ty of the scheme will sustain it, but the
real test of its practicability will come
leatr. From banking standpoint the
system will doubtless prove profitable,
for it Is likely that many deposits will
be unclaimed.
II all the money put into slot ma
chimes In this country, where slot ma
chimes have come to be a craze, was de-
posted as in bank, an enormous cap
ital would be quickly accumulated.
Thousands Of dollars go into the slot
machines and every person who parts
with money in this manner is poorer
for it, II slot machine banks could
be introduced with the result of even |
temporarily checking the gambling
mania which has grown out of thes lot |
machines, it would be blessing in
deed. The desire to get something for
LothIng, which is the spirit of gamb-
ling, and upon which it seems many
people are willing to take chance, is |
more readily cultivated than the desire |
to save money.
The slot machine craze in this coun-
try is an evil which threatens society |
1t breeds profiigacy and destroys thrift |
Surely slot machine savings banks |
would be welcome innovation.

BOY DIES IN AGONY
At Cambridge From Eating Wild
Parsnip.

Cambridge, o., April 13.-Samuel
Hartill, the twelve year old son of Su-
perintendent Joseph Hartill, of the
Morton Tin Plate Mill of this city, met
a terrible death this evening as the re-
suit of eating wild parsnip root, poi
sonous plant, which he had mistaken
for Sweet Anise.
Young Hartill, in company with five
school mates of about the same age,
went to the home of Councilman II.
V. Orme, of the North Side, shortly
after school was dismissed and from
there wandered down a small ravine
leading to Taplor Lake. Here the boys
found a bunch of wild parsnip, which
very much resembles Sweet Anlse, and
all ate of the root.
In company with young Hartill were
the twin sons of Councilman Orme,
two sons of George Coburn and the lit
the son Of Mrs. Sue Davis, all residing
on the South Side. The boys started
for home about o'clock. When in
about two squares of his home the
Hartill boy was seized with spasms
and fell to the pavement. He was
picked up and carried 10 mis- home and
a physician hurriedly summoned, but,
after lingering about half an hour, he
died in great agony despite every eff
fort of the doctor.
The other boys were taken i'll about
the same time but with the exception
of one of the Coburn boys, all are now
thought to be out of danger. The Co
burn boy is in a very critical condition
and but slight hopes are felt for his
recovery.

The Honey Bee Not a Native Of
America,

No one seems to have taken the time
and trouble to thoroughly investigate
the early history of the honey bee in
America. Enough is known, however,
to assure us that 1t is not indigenous
to the country, but was, in all probab-
llity, imported by the early colonlsts
The earliest mention of honey in
America, SO FAR as considerable re-
search discloses to the writer, is in
Irving's account of DeSoto's wander
ings. While the adventurer was at the
village of 1chiaha in June, 1910, his
men found "a quantity of bears grease
preserved in pots, likewise oil made
from the walnut, and pot of honey.
The later they had not before seen,
nor did they ever again meet with it
during their wanderlngs"
Some have inferred from this that
the honey bee was in Florida at this
period, and that i. 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 a native and very widely scattered
Nevertheless, the honey bee was
probably introduced by the Spanish
settlers, in Florida, at least at n later
period, for Bartram. who explored the
country in 1878, mentions honey and
beeswaN as articles of barter among
the indians. He speaks of honey in so
many places in his books, that it must
have been quite common. and, there
fore, could not have been the product
of the humble bee, whose store of hon
ey is very scant. Belram was told by.
a physician that there few or no bees
west of the peninsula of Florida, and
but one hive in Mobile which latter
had been brought from Europe. Trad
ers had also Informed him 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. Thief act that it was not found
in the interior is good evidence that
the insect was not a native of America.
Otherwise natural swarming would
have distributed it throughout the land
long before the arrival of the white
man.
Jonathan Carver, Al Englishman,
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 1T from
the ravages of the bears, who are re-
markably fond of it.
According to a writer in the Ameri-
can Bee Journal for July, 1866, the
honey bee was first noticed by white
men in Kentucky in 1880, in New York
in 1898, and west of the Mississippi in
1897. At the present day this indus
trious little bee is scattered through
out America, and the production of
honey is constantly increasing

1t is announced from Washington
that Senator Foraker has succeeded
in securing from the navy department.
Spanish cannon as war trophy for
Cincinnati and another for Hillsboro,
his former home. The cannon for
Cincinnati is a five and half inch steel
gun taken from the Spanish battleship
Almirante Oquendo, which was de-
stroyed with the rest of Cervera's fleet
off Santiago. 1t will have its shield
and carriage, but not its breech-block,
as that was taken from the gun and
thrown overheard by the Spaniards
before they abandoned the ship. The
gun is now at Norfolk. The cannon
secured for Hillsboro is one of the
bronze cannon taken from MORO cas-
tie either at Havana or Santiago, but
which one is not stated. While not a
war relic exactly in the sense in which
the other cannon is, nevertheless it is
of special interest to the antiquarian,
as ii Is picturesque specimen of old
artillery made, il is thought, at least
century and half ago. Three other
such cannons as the one that will go to
Cincinnati have been secured for Ohio
ciiios. One of these will go to Cleye-
land, the home of Senator Hanna, an
other to Canton, The home of the pres,
ident, and the third to Akron, the
home of Colonel Dlck-Columbus Dis
