The Drones In a Beehive.

To the drones nature has certainly
been very bountiful. They are very
large and strong, have helmet made
of enormous black pearls, two lofty
quivering plumes, a doublet of rides
cent, yellowish velvet, heroic tuft and
a fourfold mantle, translucent and
rigid.
While the workers have 1900 facets
to their eyes, the drones are gifted with
26,000; while the workers have 5000
olfactory cavities In their antenn@, the
drones have over 10000. While the
workers are laboring for the benefit OF
the community the drones sail off every
bright morning into space, irresistible,
glorious, and TRANQUILITY make for the
nearest flowers, where they sleep till
the afternoon freshness awakes them.
Then, with the same majestic pomp
and still overflowing with magnificent
schemes, they return to the hive, go
straight to the cells, plunge their heads
to the neck In the vats of honey and fill
themselves tight as a drum to repair
their exhausted strength, whereupon,
with heavy steps, they go forth to meet
the good, dreamless and careless slum-
ber that shall fold them In its embrace
till the time for the next repast.-Mae-

VIII Harness the River.

Il is proposed now to utilize the pow
er of the Colorado River, which tears
its way through the Grand Canyon with
force enough to move the machinery Of
a thousand mills. For many months
hydraulic engineers have been studying
the project and they have just made a
report.
They declare that in $50 miles of the
rivers course dozen times more cleo
trical energy can be secured than is
taken from Niagara Falls. Part of the
canyon is in the forest reserve and it
also passes through several Indian res
ervations.
If the Governments consent can be
secured it Is intended to install this
summer plant of sufficient size to fur
nish electrical power to cities, towns
and mining camps within comparative
ly easy reach of the Colorado, and then
to increase the scope of the company
until all of Arizona and most of the
lower part of California can be supplied
from the canyon torrent.
If success attends the plans Of the
company one Of the chief results will be
the placing In operation of many mines
of value which have long been idle be-
cause of lack of power.
The plans of the company include the
furnishing Of motive power and light
to all the cities within reach and to cleo
trio railways. 1t is proposed to build an
electric line along the rim of the canyon
for distance of fifteen miles, the bet
ter to enable tourists to view the won
ders Of the great chasm.-New York

TO Gauge His Wife. Temper.

Il heard about peculiar case of hem
pecked husband recently" said young
woman the other day.
What was it?' her friend inquired.
There is man who has some diff
Guilty In gauging his wife's temper. At
times she is considerate of his welfare
and at other times-well, he rather
thinks that married life is failure.
HE has a peculiar manner of finding
out the state of his wife's feeling to-
ward him. In the evening when he re-
turns home from work he never steps
into the house without going through a
sort of ceremony First he throws his
hat in the house, and then he seats
himself on the steps and waits. If FIVE
minutes pass without the hat being
thrown out again. he enters and gener-
ally finds his wife very agreeable.
However, If the hat is thrown out
again the unfortunate man seeks hos
pitality for the night somewhere else
rather than brave the anger of his help
meet."-Cleveland Leader.

aullnshter. Afraid of Cows.

1t will probably not surprise our
readers to hear that most Spanish bull
fighters object to fighting cows. The
real reason may, however, astonish
them. A sportsmanlike objection to
prosecuting a female animal has moth
ing whatever to do with 1t. The fact is
that the average toreador is sincerely
afraid of a COW.
And he has good reason. The cows OF
the half wild breed used for the arena
are much quicker In their movements
than are the bulls. Their horns are
more pointed and more formidable.
They do not lower their heads to the
ground, shut their eyes and charge like
a locomotive upon the rails, but are
alert and ready to follow every move
ment of their prosecutors. Their war
like tactics have been adapted not to
blind, bovine frontal attacks, but to the
strategy of active and cunning beasts
of prey, of which the human bullfighter
is only a feeble mimic. If these cheap
idols of the Spanish populace would
face young and active wild cows which
had just been robbed of their calves,
they might perhaps forestall the butch
er, but they would, at any rate, do
something to earn their laurels.-Pear-
sons

THE LATEST CREATURES.
Indoient Aquatic FswI Are Found ON
Shores of Western Lakes.

Shores of Western Lakes.
During the recent trip through the
lower western section of the country
said young man who had recently re-
turned to New Orleans, Il believe | dis
covered the LATEST and most stupid
form Of life to be found anywhere ON
the globe. 1t was an aquatic fowl,
with a big, clumsy-looking beak, In
form something like the dodo, now ex-
tinct. l have spent some time In
watching this fowl. which is found in
some of the shallow lakes, and the
chief point Of interest to me was the
startling stupidity displayed. They call
them shags, believe. out west. They
generally squat on stumps or logs in
the lake and watch for the smaller fish
that play around the surface Of the
water. They are fairly clever in catch
ing what they want, and they throw
out their bills with considerable preci-
sion when they dig for game and they
never get to eat what they catch until
they have fed at least one and maybe
LuCIc Ludu Ouc uGl1DeT Ol dIOIIler KIM
of water fowl. Whenever a shag be-
gins to catch fish long-legged water
hen will take a place Immediately be-
hind him. When the shag lands the
fish the water hen simply reaches over
and gets 1t. Without any show of re-
sentiment and without turning around
the shag will continue its watch for
fish and this is kept up until the water
hen has finished It's meal, and then, If
no other enterprising member of the
same tribe comes along. the shag Is per-
mitted to enjoy the product of its own
sleepy efforts. / have, on one occa-
sion, seen one shag feed as many as
three water hens before eating a single
fish. 1t Is certainly a singular display
of stupidity, and after having watched
the performance a number Of times |
am convinced that the shag is actually
too dull to even know that the water
hen stands behind him to steal the fish
out of his mouth. New Orleans
