oarental HelRtions.

One OF the teachers in the Sunday
school OF the First NJ. E. Church. Of
Germantown, was endeavoring to in
still into the little girls OF her
class recently a due appreciation of
parental affection. She spoke OF the
mothers love for her children and Of
tue respect which the children should
show to the mother. For some reason
she rather omitted to lay as much
stress upon the father. Finally one
Of the little girls remarked that she
thought children should love their
mother much more than their fathers.
"Why do you think that?" asked the
teacher. "Oh. welI," said the little
tot, "your fathers are only related to
you by marriage, but your mothers
are related to you by bornation!'-

Fuel Oil Tests.

So far the tests with fuel oil in
tended as substitute for coal on ships
of war, which are beng made at Nor
folk and New York, do not appear to
have sustained the glowing reports of
tests made abroad. 1t is most prob
able, however, that coal will some day
be superseded by some more easily
handled fuel. The authorities having
charge OF the present tests have nearly
reached the conclusion that fuel oil
will be valuable only in times of emer-
gency, especially on board torpedo
boats, when il is necessary to get up
steam quickly. At such times the
question: of economy need not enter
into the matter. 1t is yet too early 10
determine whether fuel oil will be
smokeless, and the other features
which have recommended rs trial have
not been fully demonstrated, therefore
it may be some time before anything
definite in the way of an improvement
will be discovered.

Look For the s.Planet of Romance,
on May 2Stf.

Part Of the investigations of May
2Sth will be directed, not to the sun
itself, but to the space lying between
the sun and Mercury. We are told in
paper by Julia MacNair Wright in
the May New Lippincott" that it has
been the dream of many astronomers
that about half way between tie sun
and Mercury lies little planet, lost in
the efNdlgence of the sun. Sir Will
liam Ball names this the PLANET of
Romance" Other astronomers have
searched for it, christening it Vulcan
before it has been found. If ever such
a planet rolled exactly between the
earth and the sun, it would sometimes
be seen crawling like black dot across
the suns disk. In the gloom Of an
eclipse such an orb might show its
face if its position as regards the earth
were favorable Most astronomers
have concluded that there is no such
planet, but that the space between
Mercury and the sun is empty.

Increase of Population.

Some interesting statistics in regard
to the increase of population have just
been compiled By Sir Robert Clifton,
a distinguished English expert on this
subject. He shows that England now
has possessions on all five continents,
and that quarter Of the population
of the entire earth is subject to her
suzcrainty. The extent of territory
owned by England amounts to 49,
900, 900 square miles, and on this i'm
tract is-s<sssN lation d.
600, 600. During the fsst tS q
seven years the English realm has in
creased 2,854,000 square miles, and
within the same period $4,000, 600
have been added to the population.
Since 1871 the population of tho
United Kingdom-England, Scotland
and Ireland-has increased from 32,-
600, 900 to 10, 100000 At the begin
ming of this century England, Scot
land and Ireland had population of
1000, 900. and France of 26, 900, 900,
yet to-day the proportion of popula-
ton in both countries is almost alike.
Russia has increased her population
by 60, 900, 900 since 1870, the result
being that she has now total popula-
ton of 130, 100000. Germany had q
population OF 2O,OOO,OOO at the be.

of the increase of births over deaths.

BEES IN A BATHROOM.
A Baltimore Family Supplied With Honey
by Big Working Colony.


Honey bees of different times and
countries nave chosen many peculiar
locations for their homes, but none
have shown themselves more domestic
in their choice than colony in north
west Baltimore, which has invaded a
dwelling house, and cannot be induced
to 60 elsewhere. This colony, which
has thousands of members, has pre-
empted for its own use part of the
dwelling 1915 Harlem avenue, oceu-
pied by Mr.. E. J. Goldman.
When that gentleman moved into
the house, several years ago, he noticed
that large number of bees collected
around the windows of the bathroom.
on the second floor, and, on observing
them closely, he saw that they came
out and went into the opening in the
house wall through which the pipe
from the bathtub ran. He concluded
that there was hive somewhere in
the vicinity of the bathroom, and on
cutting out small section Of the floor
ing he found in the vacant space un-
der the floor, and between the joists,
on which the flooring rested, what
seemed to him million bees, with q
large amount of honey.
Tubs and large pans were brought
into requisition to hold the honey.
The honey combs stood at right angles
to the ioists. They were an inch in
thickness and about ten inches square.
The squares of Ehoneycomb, set oA
edge side by side, completely filed
the space between the beans. To take
them it was only necessary to detach
them at each side from the beam and
lift them out. The members. of the
family had all the honeythey wanted
and it was freely distributed to neigh
bors 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 transfer
the bees to hive and take them out
of the house. There were some dis
advantages connected with their pres
ence in the bathroom now, especially
since the hole had been bored in the
floor to get at them. The children
could enter the room and take the
bees up from their place by the double
handful, and smooth them along their
laps with their hands, but the workers
OF the colony were opposed to certain
members CT the family, and stung
them whenever they got chance.
That was why Mr.. Goodman 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 rot success.
It brought about a schism, in the
colony, however, and nearly oil the
bees went away. During the blizzard
last February the colony that remained
beneath the bathroom perished, and
Mr.. Goldman thought he had gotten
rid Of the bees,
About a year after the exodus Of
the bees a swarm that seemed larger
than the one that had gone away re.
turned to the Harlem avenue house
and reoccupied their old quarters.
While entering through the aperture
in the wall the bees swarmed about
the waste pipe, and formed bundla
about as large as half-bushel basket.
They have remained there ever since,
supplying the family with honey al
intervals. American.

soil. The manure applied usually pro-
duces quick effects, but the fertility ex.
hausts with the first crop and requires
TO be restored before it can produce an
other. Much Of it's mineral fertility
is leached down into the hard pan Of
the sub soil, and it is this mineral
plant food which has leached into the
clay, rather than the clay itself, that
makes its value as q fertilizer when
brought to the surface. In some places
blue clay is found under a sandy soil.
This is favorable indication, for this
blue clay usually contains phosphate
Of lime that when mixed with the
sand makes soil in which almost any
thing can be grown. Where the sub
soil is itself sandy it needs 20 be seed

soil with vegetable matter without
which the sand would quickly become

All plants Of the melon family do

clover each alternate year, end sowing
wheat with clover seeding again,
good wheat crops could be grown for
few years. But after a while the
small amount of phosphate in the
sandy soil would become exhausted,
and then even when stable manure
was applied the sandy land would pro-
duce only rank growth Of straw,
which ruSted and the heads would not
yield any grain. 1t was on sandy soil
that tie grain first failed in the locality
in western New York where our first
farming experience was gained. Most

the greater durability of fertility in
the clay land and its much greater pro
