CHINESE DIDN'T SIGN.
The Time Limit Expired anu the
Convention Wasn't N

1OnNCnhIoh
Pekin, March o7.-The Chinese had
not signed the Manchurian agreement
last night when the time expired.
The ministers of the powers do not
consider that the murder OF hev. D.
Stonehouse, of the London Missionary
society, who was killed by Chinese
brigands IA miles east of lien Isin'
recently, affects the Chinese situation
politically. They are perfectly aware
that the country around Shl-Nan is
infested with robbers, who are, natur-
allv, hostile to foreigners, and would
take such an opportunity, as In the
present case, to kill one.
Unsafe to Travel Alone.
Mr.. Rockhill, the special commits
sioncr of the United States, says ne
Ices not consider it safe for people
to travel alone in the country dis
tricts, and guards can not be supplied
to the missionaries. Consequently
those going into the country take
considerable risk. The district IN
which the murder was committed is
policed by foreign troops. Iherc'
fore, China is not officially RESPONSE
BILE. The foreign troops practically
Quilted Shi-Nan of everything worth
taking, and the people there are n
dignant against all foreigners. The
missionaries attribute the murder tc
the leniency of the powers toware
China, which makes them seem to b<
afraid.
The ministers have many differen'
views on the indemnity question
which may result in considerable de
lay in the negotiations on that sub
iect.

\ Crime Against Humanity.
I'VE must, of course, turn the island
over to the Cubans, but it is a crime
against humanity to withdraw at this
time. When our troops leave the is
land YOU will witness a reign of law
iessness which will startle the world
and compel us, in the name of justice.
to take matters in our own hands.
The Cubans will sign anything or do
anything to get us away from their
property, and when they have the
reins in their WI hands you can ex-
pect the worst.
4 Period of Loot and Anarchy.
From what l can learn they will
assess everybody with any money and
have n division of the spoils. They
will drive all Spaniards and American
sympathizers from the island, and for
a brief period will revel in loot. Law
and order will become a mockery and
no law save that of anarchy will
reign.
Only Foo1ishness.
1T will be only foolishness to talk

The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1901-1901, 1901-08-01
BarOmetric Bees.

Whoever observes these interesting
insects finds it easy enough to foretell
exactly the kind Of weather to be cx-
pected. At least this is the opinion of
many raisers of bees.
Generally the bee stays at home
when rain Is in the air. When the sky
is simply dark and cloudy, these busy
workers do not leave their dwelling all
at once. A few 60 out first, as though
the queen had sent out messengers to
study the state of the atmosphere. The
greater number remain on observation
until the clouds begin to dissipate, and
IT is only then that the battalions en-
tire rush out In search Of their nectar.
A bee never goes out in fog, because
it is well aware that dampness and
cold are two fearsome, redoubtable
enemies. We do not mean, however,
that the bee Is meteorological in the
absolute sense Of the word. Its clever
ness consists in never being taken un-
awares, for it possesses untiring vigil
lance. Often one may observe the sud-
den entrance of bees into the hive
when dense cloud hides the sun and
even though the rain is not in evidence.

Times have changed indeed from the
time when Sydney Smith complacently
observed that the United States had
SO much wilderness clearing to do that
1t might well take it's literature, learn
ing and luxury in the bulk from Eng
lish factories.
"Why," he had asked, SHOULD the
Americans write books when six
weeks passage brings them. in their
own tongue, our sense, science and gen.
ius in bales and hogsheads? Prairies,
steamboats,. gristmills, are their nat
ural objects for centuries to come"
We might almost reverse this and
ask, "Why should the English feel i'll
at ease when six days passage brings
them our sense, science and geniusY
For the time at least the Rev. Sgd
ney Smiths chief notoriety seems to
be that he was the author of certain
observations whose truthfulness has
proved as brief as 1t was bitter-Har-

The Irish,nan's Request.

In the days when fogging was in
vogue as a punishment in the British
navy a Scotchman and an Irishman. on
the arrival Of their ship in harbor, OBJ
tanned leave to go ashore for a couple
days, and they overstaid the period of
leave granted them. When they did
put in an appearance, they were order
ed 80 lashes each. On the day of the
punishment parade was ordered to
witness the infection Of the fogging.
When all was ready, the Scotchman
asked as a favor to be allowed a piece
of canvas on his back while he receiv-
ed his flogging. The captain granted
his request and, turning to the Irish
man, asked him IL he required any
thing on his back while he was being
logged, to which he replied, III ye
Place, yer honor, I'd loike to have the
Scotchman on my back, If We wouldn't

It Is very well known that the in
fuenza Is not an exclusively modern
complainA, but / aM not sure whether
curious reference to it by Bower, the
continuator Of Fordun's chronicle, has
been noted. Writing of the year 1920
he says that among those who died IN
Scotland that year were Sir Henry st.
Clair, earl Of Orkney; Sir James Doug
las of Dalkeith, Sir William de Aber-
nethy, Sir William de st. Clair, Sir Will
liam Cockburn and many others, all by
"that infirmity whereby not only great
men, but innumerable quantity of the

carly termed lie Quhew lie Quhew a

82.) Now, 'Quh" in Scottish texts usu-
ally represents the sound of "wh'
properly aspirated.) Therefore it
seems that in the fifteenth century the
Influenza was known as 1.-THE whcw,"
just as it is known in the twentieth
century as "the flue."
I have refrained from quoting at
length Bowers explanation of the
cause Of the epidemic, but there seems
little doubt that the disease was iden-
teal with that with which we are so
grievously familiar. = Notes and Que
