RUSSIA'S GREAT NAVAL DEPOT
VIadivostok. on the Siberian Coast,
Is Being Fitted for the
Purpose.

Russia has expended, and is still
expanding, vast amount of money
in making Vladivostock suitable ter.
minus for the trans-Siberian railway
and the development of that port as
a naval station is very remarkable
The wharves, railway station and
landing facilities have been made su.
perior to those of any other port in
that part of the world. Stone and
brick have replaced everywhere the
old wooden buildings of the city. The
view of the place from the sea is very
striking. The massive Russo-Chinese
bank is built of white stone and light.
ed by electricity. The solid brick bar.
racks, the Greek cathedral and the
Office building of the Russo-Chinese
Eastern railway attract attention
from a distance.
The flag that floats over the last.
mentioned buildings is combination
of the Russian and Chinese standards

Russian flag, the lower half the Chi.
nese national emblem, the dragon
Other fine buildings are the shore
house of the admiral. the headquar,
ters Office, the new and handsome post
Office and some imposing mercantile
structures. Such is Vladivostock in
it's civil aspect. "0f its military as
pect," says correspondent of the Lon.
don Times, sit may truly be said that
nothing which modern fertilization
can suggest seems to have been left
undone to supplement nature, and shs
in her turn must surely have created
Vladivostock to be what it is-one Of
the strongest of naval fortresses."

BEES IN THE BATHROOM.
fully Supplied with n Table
Luxury.

A colony of honey bees in north
west Baltimore has invaded a dwell.
ing house and cannot be induced TO go
elsewhere. This colony says the Bal
timore American, which has thou,
sands of members, has preempted for
its own use part of the dwelling oc.
cupied by E. j. Goldman.
When that gentleman moved into
the house, several years ago, he no.
ticed that large number of bees col
lected around the windows of the
bathroom, on the second floor, and, on
observing them closely, he saw that
they came out and went in the open.
ing in the house wall through which
the pipe from the bathtub ran. He
concluded that there was hive some
wi ere in the vicinity of the bathroom,
and, on cutting out small section of
the flooring, he found in the vacant
space under the floor and between the
joists on which the flooring rested,
what seemed to him million bees,
with large amount of honey.
Tubs and large pans were brought
into requisition to hold the honey.
The honeycombs stood at right angles
to the joists. They were an inch in
thickness and about ten inches
square. The squares of honeycomb,
set on edge side by side, completely
filled the space between the beams.
To take them it was only necessary to
detach them at each side from the
beam and lift them out. The mem
bers of the family had all the honey
they wanted and it was freely distrib-
uted to neighbors and friends.
The ''robbing" took place in the
fall. A small amount was left for the
bees to subsist upon. Mr.. Goldman
thought it would be better to trans
fer the bees to hive and take them
out of the house. There were some
disadvantages connected with their
presence in the bathroom now, espe-
cially since the hole had been bored
in the floor to get at them. The chill.
dren could enter the room and take
the bees up from their places by the
double handful and smooth them
along their laps with their hands, but
the workers of the colony were OPP,
posed to certain members of the fam.
lily and stung them whenever they got
chance. That was why Mr.. Goldman
desired to put them in hive in the
yard.
The hive was prepared, and an effort
was made to induce the bees to enter
it, but the effort was not a success
1t brought about schism in the col
ony, however, and nearly all the bees
went away. During the blizzard last
February the colony that remained
beneath the bathroom persisted, and
Mr.. Goldman thought he had gotten
rid of the bees.
About year after the exodus of the
bees a swarm that seemed larger than
the one that had gone away returned
to the Harlem avenue house and reoc
cupied their old quarters. While en-
tering through the aperture in the
wall the bees swarmed about the
waste pipe and formed bundle about
as large as half bushel basket. They
have remained there ever since, sup.
plying the family with honey at inter
walls.
