BEE BuzzEs.

One-fourth OF an acre may contain
$50 colonies of bees.
An apiary should not be placed on
ground ttlcllly set with trees.
Bees sccrete wax only when necessa-
~ to furnish storage room for honey
Or brood.
The secretion OF one pound OF wax
necessitates the consumption OF twenty
pounds OF honey.
When queen is gone. 1t will be only
a few days until the colony Will cease

Sometimes. toward the close OF the
honey season, the bees will destroy
.he queen cells or kin ell of the queens
but ono, thus destroying The incentive
to swarm.
Care must be taken to see that there
is n queen in every colony. IL she gets
lost or Is killed. another must be put in
her place, as the colony will run down
very fast If left queenless.
Never feed bees during the day. il
matters not whether there be one col
ony or many. 1t causes confusion, and
the bees frequently get cross and go to
singing anything they come near.
In getting bees that have swarmed
back into n hive much loss may be pre-
vented by stretching n piece OF strong

FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.
in the City DestrOyed-Loss
Nearly SG5O,OOO.

st. Louis, April s.-Sparks from a
switch engine Sunday set fire to the
big elevator on the river front at the
foot of Biddle street owned by the st.
Louis Elevator e. Storage company,
and within less than two hours the
building was reduced to ashes, entail
ing a loss of nearly s65o,0oO. II. C..
Haarstick, president of the company,
said the building and the contents,
which consisted of about 100000 bush
els of wheat and corn, were fully in
sured. II was his opinion that the
loss of the grain would not affect the
local market. The burned elevator
was the second largest in st. Louis
and was used for storage purposes
by others than members of the st.
Louis Elevator & Storage company,
but the latter just at this time hap
pened to own almost all the grain.
The building contained corn and
wheat of grades below No. 2. Only a
small amount of high-class cereals
was stored there. The building was
insured for 100000 and the storage
company's grain for $4,000.

Santiago de Cuba, April s.-Fifteen
hundred pounds of dynamite were
used by the authorities of the port
Saturday afternoon in blowing up the
forward superstructure of the sunken
United States collier Merrimac, which
has long impeded the entrance to the
harbor. The explosion was plainly
heard in the city, five miles away.
Divers Immediately descended and
found 40 feet of clear water over the
forward portion of the wreck. Port
Capt. Irwin will begin to-day to place
mines aft, which he expects to ex-
plode within a week, thus completely
clearing the harbor entrance. Satur-
days incident was highly spectacular.
Residents on Smiths key, adjacent to
the wreck, left the island, fearing
that their houses would be demol-
ished. The overlooking hills were
lined with people and large numbers
of pleasure vessels encircled the
wreck at safe distance. When the
electric button was touched pyra-
mid of water rose 40 feet and the sur
face was Immediately covered with
wreckage and tons of dead fish. The
launches and yachts returned to the
city laden with souvenirs of the
wreck.
