ness at the PanAmerican Exposition
the coming summer. 1t has been de-
cided to construct a special building
for the proper display OF the working
colonies OF bees and the great variety
of bee keepers supplies which will
constitute this exhibit THIS will un-
doubtedly be the most extensive bee ex-
hibit ever prepared in this or any other
part OF the world. Anyone who is not
a student OF bee culture little realizes
dustry. 1t is estimated that there are
100000 persons engaged In bee cul-
ture in the United States alone and
that the present annual value OF honey
and wax is in excess of $20, 1000, 900.
There are 10 societies devoted TO the
study and promotion OF bee keeping.
Eight journals are sustained by this
industry. Fifteen steam power factor
les are producing supplies OF various
kinds for the use OF bee keepers. Am
erican honey finds a market IN many
distant countries. the United States
producing more honey than any other
nation.
The bee exhibits at the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition will be so arranged
that the bees may enter their hives
from the exterior of the building and
carry on their work OF honey collec-
ton undisturbed by visitors, yet in
full view through the glass sides OF
their hives. The successful manage
ment of an apiary requires a knowl
edge of botany as well as the habits
and requirements of the bees them
selves. The little honey bee plays a
very important part in the general
economy. The failure OF fruit crops
may be due to the absence OF baes
whose special function is to fertilize
the blossoms by carrying the pollen
from stamens to pistil.

transportation building, so that visit
other and make comparisons between
the closely allied apparatus in the two
buildings. In The northwest corner OF
the Electricity Building will probably
be located the 5000 ii. Z. transformer
plant which will transform the Niagara
power polyphase current from 1000
volts TO 1900 volts for distribution
about the grounds. Smaller step
down transformers will be used in sev
eral hundred transformer pits about
the grounds and in the various build
ings, where the current will be reduced
from 1900 volts to 10i volts. At this
pressure lights and electric motors and
other appliances will be operated.
The progress in the development and
application OF the various branches
OF electrical science and industry OF
recent years makes the exhibit at the
Pan American exposition OF the utmost
Importance and interest. At the time
OF the Worlds Fair at Chicago, cleo
trio transportation over street car lines
OF cities was in its infancy. In ten
years the electric motor in its applica-
ton to both transportation and in
dustry has effected we'll nigh an indus
trial revolution. In the electric ght-
Ing industry, and in the telephone sys-
tenn there has been great progress dur
Ing this decade. Wireless telegraphy has
come to the front within a few years
and Is destined to effect still further
radical changes in methods OF electric
communication. Automobiles electri-
cally propelled have come into use. In
all these fields the Pan-American Elk
position will have electrical exhibits
illustrating this marvellous progress.
There will be collection of historical
matter relating to the subject which
will show the gradual development OF
the apparatus used. An especially in
teresting exhibit will be that illustrat-
ing the application OF electricity to the
propulsion of cars and vehicles Ike the
automobiles. Most persons are more
familiar with the successful operation
OF such vehicles by electricity than

Question About Snakes Under Debate

by Scientific Experts.
After the meeting Of the Colora 20
Academy of Science recent Y, at
which President Regis Chauvenet o.
the School OF Mines delivered an ad-
dress, there was an argument about
snakes, says the Denver Republican.
Ii was continued in a desultory way
soon after at the state capitol by Cura-
tor Will G. Ferril OF the Historical So
ciety, and Captain Cecil Deane OF the
war relic department, the men who
started ii at the meeting on the day
previous. Curator Ferril ca ms that he
has proved that rattlesnake, when
pursued, will retreat and go into its
hole backward. He says that month
ago he ran across a rattlesnake which
slowly went toward its hole. He fol-
Owed with discretion and a gun and
when the rattler reached its home it

claim he says that the way in which
curio dealers secure rattlers in large
numbers for sale is 10 follow the
snakes to their holes and cut off the
tails as they dive into the holes. Csp-
tain Deane says he has pursued this
method on various occasions and new

In him revoked. The voter is the agent

out he becomes false to his trust and

of less magnitude?" A righteous and

ROOT REBUKES
FEARsOME CUBA
Alleged Interference in
Elections Sharply
Denied.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Secretary
Root to-day addressed a communication
to Elijio Bonachea, president of the con-
vention at Havana, Cuba, that nominated
Bartolomeo Maso for President. relative
to complaints that the United States was
interfering in the elections.
A press dispatch from Havana stated
that Maso complained that the influence
of the United States officers was being ex-
erted in favor of Estrada Palma and a
dispatch from Bonachea to the Secretary
implied the same thing. The Secretary in
his communication to Senior Bonachea
says:
'I have the honor ito acknowledge the
receipt of your dispatch of November 26
saying The National Convention of Ha-
vana, which has proclaimed General Maso
candidate for the Presidency of the future
republic of Cuba respectfully asks you
to recommend to the representatives of
the intervening Government the strictest
impartiaity in the electoral contest which
is now taking place.
1.-THE representatives of the intervening
Government in Cuba are already aware
that their duty requires them not to be
merely impartial in the electoral contest in
Cuba, but to refrain from interfering in
any manner whatever with the free ex-
preston Of the wishes of the Cuban peo-
pie at the polls. They have not violated
this rule in the past and will not in the
future; They, will have nothing to DO with
the electoral contest, except to enforce
the electoral law prescribed by the consti-
tutional convention and promulgated by
the Military Governor on the 18th OF Oc-
tOber last. This Will be done lmpart1aIly
and effectively.
"It is quite unnecessary to assume that
the officers of this Government will be less
faithful to their duty hereafter than they
or direct that they shall perform a duty
which they are already performing.

NOMENCLATURE

Pan-American Congress
Asked to Establish
Rules. y

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 29.-The session OF
the Pan-American Congress this morning
was largely taken up with reading Of re-
ports of the committee on international
banking and monetary exchange and on
literary relations, the latter favoring an
exchange Of official publications and a
lengthy report of the committee of which
Senator Davis is the head with respect to
the Pan-American railroad.
A project was submitted by Buchanan
of the United States delegation on COM
mercial nomenclature. Buchanan said:
'"The Importance Of this subject to the
commerce of the republics represented
here is one that has been frequently and
forcibly brought to my attention and I
have reached the firm conviction that if
uniformity of name and description can
be secured for the common articles OF
Pan-American commerce and such nom
enclature ofncially adopted and made the
basis of the customs. schedules and laws
of the republics of this hemisphere dis
appertains to the general betterment OF
commerce will be gained"
Buchanan proposes that the govern
mentS represented in the bureau OF Amer
lean republics contribute among them
selves the sum of $4O,00O with view to
careful revision and compilation in Eng
lish. Spanish and Portuguese, and under
the direction of the customs division Of
each of the said governments, Of the COM
publics heretofore issued by the bureau OF

was referred to the committee ON COM
