How THEY MAKE HONEY.
When they come in loaded with pol
len they have the most important and
business like air imaginable. Fastening
to some suitable cell and vigorously
shaking off their loads. l had never
realized before bow many different
colored pollens there are; every shade of
yellow from the palest straw to deep
orange. different shades of red, laven-
der, etc. This they use, l think, in
making bee bread. The honey is de-
posted in separate cells, but is mixed
with the pollen before feeding to the
larvae.
The nectar gathered from the flowers
is carried in an interior sac where it is
transformed into honey, and by doub
ling the tongue so it forms q sort Of
trough they run the honey into the
cells. This generally Is too thin to be
Immediately sealed up, so they evapor-
ate it by tanning with their wings. To
do this four bees would stand together
and make the funniest little whirligig
movements, like little merry 60 rounds,
their wings moving SO rapidly that they
were almost invisible.
When the hive gets too hot and needs
ventilating. the bees get in line and fan
violently till the temperature becomes
satisfactory.
Our bees were Italians, a sort Of
brown color. with yellow bands. When
in the hive they looked comparatively
dull and dark. but when flying in the
sun seemed as clear as amber. They
look very pretty when flying for the
tirst time; which is four or five days
after they are Matched. 1t would seem
to be announced through the bive. as
there would be general stir and ap.

exit. When outside they circle around
few minutes. all headed towards the
hive, apparently getting their bearings
and enjoying using their wings, but not
venturing much Of fight. After two

they often 60 several miles.
We, you know, are on the third floor
OF downtown apartment house, and l
fancy some Of our neighbors thought US
very inconsiderate of the comfort or
safety of others, when they heard We
were to have bees in such a locality.
But no one was disturbed by them, for,
starting from such a height they re-
mained up in the air until approaching
flowers.
This cannot speak of from observa-
ton, but 1t is truly wonderful how
muc of their indoor life can be seen,
AMI hos fascinating 1t all is.
The YoONG BEES
My enthusiasm is almost beyond the
power Of expression when think Of the
pleasure such hive of bees affords an
invalid. There is no noise or commo-
tion, and yet such variety OF interest.
You can see the tiny egg deposited, q
little white thing, resembling in size
and shape very small grain of rice,

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW. YORK, September 7.-R. G..
Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say:
The volume of business does not ma
terially enlarge at the East, and there
is only moderate Improvement at the
West and South, but if expectations Of
greater activity when politics will
cease to disturb, are realized, current
operations will be found to have a
substantial foundation. The most i'm
portant event of the week in the indus
trial world was the agreement on the
tin plate wage scale with the Amalga-
mated Association granting about s
per cent advance to $4,000 hands long
idle. Other metal workers disputes are
not nearing settlement, While the
Borden purchase Of five hundred thous-
and pieces print cloths at rs cents
clears up the Fall River market and is
believed to preclude serious wage dlt-
ferences there. The final dcision OF the
anthracite miners as to a strike will be
reached to-day. II strike is decided
upon, it is likely to involve only a
portion of the anthracite interests, and
the producer are well prepared, as pro-
duction in August was $4,000 tons
over last year, and coal has been NOV
ing to market for two weeks very heav-
lily.
Business in iron and steel products
steadily increases and mills are more
actively employed. 1t is significant
that ship. yards on the lakes and the
Pacific, coas are full of orders for 8
months or more. AS to pig iron the
outlook is no better In spite of de-
crease in production to 231,77S tons
weekly, according to the Iron Age. fur
mace stocks have increased to 594,215
tons, a gain of S9,S77 during August;
but the INCREASE in demand was rot
noteworthy until August 18th. Rail
roads have refused to make reduction
in freight rates which ii was hoped
would increase exports. BesGemer pig
and gray forge further declined one
dollar per ton at Pittsburg. although
no change is reported at other points.
Copper continues firm, with electricity
tic higher at 1875 cents bid, and tin
advanced moderately.
Failures for the week were 145 in the
United States, against 1872 last year, and
"a in Canada against 80 last year.

MUTINY OF PRISONERS.

press Prisoners at Manila.
WASHINGTON, September Ma
Mia newspapers just received at the
War Department give details of des-
perate mutiny among the native pris-
oners in Bilibid prison, which resulted
in the death of four and the wounding
of fifteen of them. The report states
that the outbreak came without the
slightest warning.
The commandment and other officials
of the prison were going about their
duties on a hot summer afternoon, the
10th of July last, when little wizened
Filipino, serving a life term, assumed
a crouching attitude and began to
creep up behind the native foreman,
giving utterance to a low growl like a
wild beast The effect was electrical
on the other convicts. In an instant
the muttering had grown to a wild
roar and every prisoner was making
for the keepers with murder in his
eye.
The senior captain of the native
guard. when he commanded the little
mob to dispense, was slashed across the
Infatuated men started for the gateway
of the prison to overpower the guard
an. escape.
They were met by Major Rogers, the
commandant, and a small portion OF
the guard, who fired a volley into the
ranks of the fugitives. Three men fell
and this seemed to check the prisoners
for an instant, but their leader, a FLIP
inc of the most desperate type, urged
them on. Though already wounded by
the first fire, his spirit was unbroken,
and four times the rifles spoke before
he fell Then. like rats in trap, the
prisoners tried first one gateway and
then another, and very probably would
have overpowered the small guard and
made their escape had not American
prisoners themselves come to the rescue
and helped to capture the fugitives.
A few more volleys from their rein
forced pursuers, and the prisoners sour
ried to their quarters in abject terror.
