Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-

Sawtelle, of Hartford. Conn. "a lady
customer, seeing the remedy exposed
for sale on my show case, said to me:
Il really believe that medicine saved
my life the past summer while at the
shore and she became so enthusiastic
over its merits that I at once made up
my mind to recommend it in the fu-
ture. Recently a gentleman came into
my store so overcome with collie pains
that he sank at once to the floor. 1

HOW BEES MARK A TREE.
When 1t Does Not Suit Them, They
Leave a Sign.

"Pees have a language of their own e"
said a western bee expert the other
day. They carry different meanings
by their buzzings, and they under
stand each other like a top: but
found out II thing about them that
| don't think anybody else did-becs
have got a written language and they
send communications to each other, |
found this out after years of close
observation. When the bees get too
awfully numerous in a tree-fll up The
hollow so that it's too crowded for
Comfort-certain wise bees are sent
out to prospect. When a pioneer of
this kind finds a big, li~kely-looking
tree with a hospitable-looking wind
crack in it, ne takes plenty OF time
and goes all over it carefully. Some
times he finds that, while the place
looks nice and commodious on the out
side, the knothole leads into a shallow
receptacle, or the crack is not deep
enough to accommodate ever a bach
elor bee, much less a whole brood. In
such a case ne gets out and writes a
message TO all and sundry bees that
may come along that way: This tree
is no good. That knothole is a fake
and the wind-crack is a frost-pass it
up He writes this with his tail
stringing honey along as we string
ink. If the tree is all right he puts
up a sign to that effect. The next bee
scents the honey, lights and reads tho
first words of the message. and if the
report is ~unfavorable, flies off, saving
'Hm-m-m-h!' and doesn't worry him
self any further about it. Oh. yes,
bees are cute. and if you've got the
idea that they're slow. it's because
you are slow yourself."-Denver Post.

:
some Very Exciting Balloon Adventure
on Record.
One of the saddest of modern bal
loon tragedies was that in which Mr..
Walter Powell of Malmesbury and a
member of the house of commons lost
his life. Mr.. Powell, accompanied by
Capt. Templar, assembled from Bath in
the war balloon "Saladin." At Bridg-
port the machine descended suddenly,
and Capt. Templar was thrown out
and severely injured. Before it could
be secured, the 'Saladin" rose swiftly
again, carrying its unconscious occu-
pant-Mr. POwell-with it For many
weeks the fate of the NJ. p. was yelled
in mystery, and it was surmised he
mad fallen into the sea and was
drowned. Fragments of a wrecked
balloon We're found on the outskirts
OF Spain some months afterwards. but
whether it was the unfortunate Sal
adm was not proved. In 1908 two
Parlsians had a dispute. and they de-
cidcd to adjust it by a duel. Not CON
tent with the ordinary method of set
ting quarrels, a novel idea was ven
tilated and adopted. They obtained
a pair of large balloons, and each man.
accompanied by his seconds. entered
one of the aerial chariots. When they
had attained a height of 1000 feet
from the ground, and at a signal from
the seconds, the combatants were to
fire at each other with blunderbusses
OF formidable dimensions. After two
or three shots had been fired one of
them managed to put a hole through
the balloon of his adversary. The silk
en- covering was torn open. and the
d%uellist, together with his seconds, was
dashed to pieces on the roofs of the
houses below. The other balloon sailed
on, and came down some hours later
in a field many miles from where it
assembled.
