being made are completed, this mill will
be one of the finest in the country.

After five years of isolation-so far as
communication with the outside world
is concerned Whippany is to have tele
phone connection. The line of the New
Yook and New Jersey Telephone Com

tract for the poles was given to F. @
Howell, and work on the extension will
begin at once. The new convenience
was secured by the McEwan Brothers
Company, which concern will have {
telephone in each of its mills. j. E
Polhemus will also be subscriber
Whippany was for some time connected
by telephone, but the service there wal
abandoned five years ago from lack o
patronage.

ENEMIES OF BEES.
They Are Numerous and Intelli-
gent in Their Mischief.
Parasites of the Insect World That
Are Too Lazy to Work and Seek
to Rob the industrious
Honey Bee.

To the student of natural history a
morning at the apiary seems well spent,
not alone in watching the maneuvers OF
the honey bee, but in observing the
various dwellers of the insect world who
hover about the home of the bees in
the hope of snatching taste of stolen
sweets.
But 1t is not the stranger insects only
who annoy the apiary of bees; the rob-
Der honey bees from other apiaries, and
even from hives in the same apiary, are
apt not infrequently to cause skir-
mish.
These robbers, too lazy to seek among
the flowers their lawful booty. dart
about the entrances Of the hives, striv-
ing by art and celerity to enter and
bear away to their own hive the pill
laged honey.
If the colony which they are trying
to rob is strong one, the marauders
are quickly pounced upon by the bees
who guard the entrance TO the hive,
and by these guards they are rolled
over and nipped at and stung if pos
sible.
The robber usually makes a plucky
fight, and as bees are clothed in an
armor of scales sting must enter be-
tween them to be fatal, else the robber,
in his valiant struggle for liberty, es-
capes unharmed. But If the colony is
weak and it's guards are few listless,
the robbers often succeed in destroying
1t. Frequently in the spring or early
summer, when the bees are being fed
sugar sirup in little wooden troughs
for the purposes of brood-rearing, less
industrious insects and other hymen-
optera visit these feeding places, alight-
ing at the troughs whenever they can,
and, by swift darting escaping the ven
geance Of the bees, succeed in snatching
many coveted sips.
Sometimes the bees are SO greedily
occupied in cramming their little honey
sacs that they trouble themselves very
little about the intruders, and the lat
ter drink up the sirup side by side with
their sharp-tempered little neighbors.
The yellow jackets fly in great num- !
bers about the apiary at feeding time,
but they do not try to gain an en-
trance to the hive, and many kinds of |
wasps fly back and forth between their
nests and the feeding trough at regular
as described by Sir John Lub-
lock.
The most beautiful of the wasps is
linn, brilliant, dark blue insect, prob
IDLY one of the solitary wasps seeking
or bees to feed to her young, as well as
or honey.
Blue flies and bright, green ones, and
many Others less gayly hued, constant

The coll ection of the "a, 300, ,00C
due the Cherokee nation under
the strip agreement is one of the
main issues that will occupy the
busy brains of Cherokee statesmen
in the immediate future. The
per cent allowed somebody to
collect that vast sum will come in
for first place before the adjourn
ment OF the next regular session
OF the council. The syndicates
that were represented at Table
quah last year, and the order with
which their claims were pushed
would indicate that there might
be chance to make a good thing
out OF this "Wyly accounting" as
it is called. The average Chero-
kee would like very much to know
why it should cost any per cent
to induce the United States gov
ernment simply to pay its debts.
Where is the delegation to WASH
ington? What reason is there for
hiring attorneys to collect the
solemn obligation of the govern
ment? The president of the
United States ought to veto any
act of the national council that
gives away any portion of the In
dians' money in the hands of the
United States. Tt would be a
good idea for the Cherokee people
to keep an eye on the 100, cool
and see that it don't go like the
s126, 900 fee in the freedmen COM
promise.

stantly, finding them great nuisance,
for the guard bees are seldom quick
enough to catch the flies, and so the
latter keep them all the time "shooing"
them off.
Ofttimes bright-eyed brown toad
will be spied sitting close by a hive,
waiting patiently till bee comes close
enough for him to lick him down with
it's lightning-lke tongue.
| Kingbirds fly swooping down on the
| apiary to catch the little honey gath
erers, and the cunning spiders spin
their webs where the bees will become
enmeshed and struggle to death. But
most dangerous to the welfare of the
colony are the moths and the ants
when they gain foothold in the
apiary.
The moth lays eggs in the comb.
and these develop into disgusting large
white worms, which tunnel their way
through webby galleries in the wax.
eating up everything and devastating
the colony.
The Italian bees have proved them
selves the most efficient in keeping the
moth from the hive.
In southern countries, where ants
are numerous, all sorts of contrivances
are resorted to in the hope of keeping
the apiary clear of them.
1t is amusing to watch guard bee
seize upon an enemy and conquer him.
The bee holds the hostile insect in IT,
front legs, pinching it and rolling it
about and also stinging it if possible.
When the invader is made helpless the
conquering bee, still holding her VIC
tim in her forelegs, makes strenuous
efforts to fly with her heavy burden,
and finally succeeding, she rises with
her closely clasped victim and, when
at certain distance from the hive,
drops it.
Sometimes 1t takes several of the
guards to overcome the struggling epe-
my, and together they push the insect
over the porch of the hive.
The bees, If simply wounded, some
times succeed in getting back to their
own hive, but, being incapacitated for
work, they are no longer welcome
there, and only meet with repulse from
their fellow colonists, and, excluded
from their hive, they crawl off some
where and die. For in the cooperation
