VIII Eces Freeze In Winter.
Discussing the question ''Will Bees
Freeze In Wintcr?" in the light of last
years experiences, \. ii. Duff has said
in substance in Farm. Field and Fire
side: Bees that are in proper condition
in the hives will not freeze, otherwise
they will. If a colony of bees have
ample stores of honey and the honey
so situated that they can partake of it
as they need it, they will not freeze
Hungry bees will freeze, and losses
largely occur from starvation. Bees
Starve with plenty of honey in the
hive. This is true from the fact that
during a long spell of continued cold
weather owing to the intense cold the
cluster of bees in the hive is unable to
expand in the least, to move sidcwiSe
but a few inches. to where the honey is
located. Thus they starvc and then
freeze with plenty of food in sight.
\ good winter hive for bees is Il long
deep one that admits of all the surplus
honey being stored directly above the
bees, and Il hive of this kind will will
ter bees without freezing from the fact
that the bees have access to the honey
at all times, for the heat of the cluster
naturally rising upward the bees can
ascend with it and thus readily reach
the honey directly above them. To
remedy this defect of the modern hive,
which is shallow, the chaff hive is
brought into use. BY thus placing
heavy packing around the bees their
natural heat is retained to such extent
that only III very severe cold weather
are they unable to reach their stores.

MINISTER'S SAFE
Several Reports Confirm the
News from Picking

Washington, Aug 8-Minister WI
called at the state department this
morning with an edict dated Aug. 2,
and transmitted by Chang. The
edict is in response to Chang and Ii
U Kun LIS memorial proposing the
sending of the ministers to Tien
Tsin. The edict says it has been
found necessary to protect the min
listers during the disturbances, as
Picking is not yet restored to order
and precautionary measures may not
secure absolute security. The min
listers are being consulted upon the
proposed plan of detailing troops to
escort them to Tien Tsin for tempo
rary shelter. 1t also commands Jung
Lu to provide sufficient escort and
protect the ministers whenever they
agree upon leaving Picking. If for
eign ministers before leaving desire
to communicate with their govern
ments, and if Geographic messages
should be in plain language, the
tsung Ii yamen shall Immediately at
tend to them.

The low Senatorship.

Ed tar Herald Considerable in
terest attaches to the selection of a
senator from the state of Iowa to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Gear. He was selected as
his own successor last winter and
there is now some question whether
Governor Shaw will appoint some
one to fill the unexpired term until
next March and then allow the legis-
lature to elect a man for the new
term or whether he will call an extra
session of the body to fill both places
There are several candidates for
the place, fact which is not sur
prising when it comes to consider
alton of the exceptionally large num-
Der of really big men in the state. 1t
has been said and with considerable
ratification that no state in the
union has a stronger body of men
representing her in Washington than
has our beloved state and from
among them the republican party
will have no trouble to find a man
worthy in every way of the seat va
Gated by the death of Senator Gear
Congressman Cousins is a candidate,
as well as Congressman Dolliver,
both of whom are exceptionally
strong with the people. Hon. A. B
Cummings Is also in the race and
Governor Shaw has ambitions in that
direction, though it is not thought
likely he will resign the governor
ship in order to accept an appoint
ment from his successor. Any one
of these four men, however, is OF
senatorial size; all are men of ripe
experience and would serve the state
with great credit in the upper branch
of congress. Both Congressman
Hepburn and Hon. John F.. Lacey
are also of senatorial size and would
make strong fight for the place
should they enter the list of candi-
dates.
There is little danger of misfit,
however the contest may result. A
selection from body of men, any
one of whom would be satisfactory
choice, cannot result in injury to the
party. The people of Iowa should be
proud OF tho number of really big
men in public life. So long as this
condition prevails there is no ques-
ton but what the state of Iowa will
cut wide swath in national affairs,
and get her share of the good things
which fall from the political pie
counter. Yours truly,
JOHN A. BELL.
