Value of q Bees Tongue.

honey-gathering capacity, and new
French apparatus, the glossmeter, is
designed to aid the apiarist who, by
judicious selection, seeks to develop
a long-tongued race. The apparatus
is simply glass vessel for syrup, with
lid containing numerous small per.
forations, and floating scale to show
the hight of the liquid when the bees
just reach it through the holes. It is
estimated that the ordinary bee can
draw sweets from depth of about
quarter of an inch, and that selection
can increase its range a twenty fifth
of an inch.

Novel Mountain Railroad.

Two Syrian engineers have been ex.
perimenting with great success. says
the Geneva correspondent of the Lon

locomotion, which consists of captive
balloon attached to single suspended
rail fixed to the side Of precipitous
mountain.
The balloon remains about twelve
yards above the rail, to which 1t is at.

oeuvered up and down the side of the
mountain at the will of the engineer.
When ascending the balloon itself
furnishes the lifting power by means

BEAD CHAINS.
A Fashion in Vogue in London Now Ex-
Decte.l n Atfoc7. Na,v Vo,l,

A Fashion in Vogue in London Now Ex-
pectea to Attack New York.
The bead chain has not yet reached
IN New York the same vogue that it
has enjoyed for the dast six months in
London, but the craze seems likely to
be seen here before next winter. AL.
ready there are few girls who have not
chains to match particular costumes,
and the summer piazza leisure has
given a decided impetus to the fad.
AS 1t is, the beads have been i'm
ported by the dealers in nearly every
conceivable shade. They come In
warm tints Of terra Gotta, and they
are bright yellows as well as the more
usual tints 1t must be strange shade
that cannot be found in these beads.
The chat should usually fall in
front nearly to the knee, and the ends
are finished always with some elab-
crate tassel CT other ornamentation.
The japanese and other Oriental stores
have imported 'ainted and fancy beads
in varied colors and designs, and the
strand is punctuated with these at
different points. They come now in
solid colors and also in dull colored
carved woods that alternate effectively
with the colors of the beads that make
up most of the chain. The chains are
used rarely to support a lorgnon or
locket and are generally intended only
for ornament They are rarely strong
enough to hold anything heavier than
the tassels at the end of the chain.
They are not likely. to remain a |
fashion permanently, as they are sim
pie enough to be made without diff
Guilty, and the materials are cheap. |
The only thing needed to make them
we'll is certain neatness in stringing
The beads. A pretty combination seen
The other day was of rather vivid blue
beads ornamented at five points in the
string by bright yellow beads a little
arger than the others. These yellow
BEADS were strung on each side of
ong oval black bead on which were
painted flowers in a Dresden pattern.
Dark brown beads made up with a
bright carmine are very ornamental to
dark brown dress.
The chains are always to be limited
0 house wear, and only the informality
# country life excuses them in the
pen air. Most of the department
torres sell them now, and in addition
0 the pretty colors to be found among
hese exhibit there is always the
leasure Of seq ching in the japanese
nd other curio stores for strange
oriental beads.-NeW York Sun.

Figures About Pressed Steel Cars,

Carefully figured estimates of the
earnings per year of wooden and steel
cars give a single steel car, on &C.
count of its lighter weight and larger
capacity, an advantage of ninety-four
dollars and fifty cents. There being
somewhere near 100000 wooden cars
in service In the country there would
be an aggregate yearly saving OF SAL.
10000 IL steel cars were used. An.
other estimate, taking the capacity CT
the cars as starting point, gives a
result of $147,000.000 saved. There
are now about $4,000 pressed steel
cars In use, and the first one was made
only four years ago.-Tls Worlds

~, established in Springfield, Mass, q
few months ago, Is proving success
in the district in which it has been

be renewed this fall, AMI If the plan

it will be extended to other sections
of the city. OF the $50 persons re-
ceiving books in this way, more than
one-half had never before made any
use of the city library. 1t has been
found necessary to raise the price Of
the delivery somewhat, and choice
is given OF paying so cents for six
weeks of the service, 81 for IL weeks,

the cost Of street-car fare to and from

Much Opposition to New Constitu-
tion is Brought to Light.
Birmingham, Ala. "A conference of
leading Democrats from all over the
state was held here Saturday, in con.
junction with meeting of the state
democratic campaign committee in
charge of the campaign for the ratifl-
cation of the new constitution. At
the conference there was a general
interchange Of views as to the pros
poets for ratification.
Short speeches by those present
brought out the fact that there is
considerable opposition among Demo-
Gratis to ratification, but it appears to
be chiefly Of negative character
based on lack of knowledge of the
new organic law and consequently
upon opposition to a change. John
b, Knox, president Of the constitu-
tional convention, in speech sound
ed the keynote of the conference
when he declared that the opponents
OF ratification are enemies of good
government because they stand for
the perpetuation Of the menace of the
ignorant negro vote. The general
consensus Of opinion was that all that
was needed to carry through the new
constitution was campaign Of edu.
cation.

To Domesticate the Zebra.

R. J. Stordy, who is connected with
the English government in East
Africa, has proposed a scheme by
means of which he believes the zebra
can be domesticated and made of great
use to mankind. He says: "The great
difficulty so far has been the domesti-
cation of the adult animal. | would
propose that kraal be formed within
district where firearms are non-ex-
istent, as in the case of preserve. The
kraal would have two extending arms
leading from the open country into it,
and it would be large enough to hold
herd of so adult animals. Several
mounted Cape bows would first be EN-.
ployed whose duty would be to accus-
tom the zebras to the neighborhood of
the kraal and to the sight of horses
and mules. Through their following
the horses or else by driving them,
they are finally secured in the kraal.
Here they would be allowed to breed.
AS it has been found almost impossible
to rear young zebra away from its
mother, the foals would be left in the
kraal until they were several months
old. Then they would be separated
and gradually accustomed to the pres
ence OF man and the other domesti-
Gated animals.
in the course Of a generation or
two Mr.. Stordy believes that new,
very hardy and entirely docile beast
of burden could be secured, which
would have especial value in the dis
tricts afflicted with the tsetse fly, as
the zebra is quite immune to the lat
ter's bite.
