thence to Havana, MonteVideo, Buenos Ayres,
the Falkland Islands. Sandy Point, Juan Fer
nandez Island and Valparaiso. While the trip
is one OF pleasure to the young cadets ii is also
a compulsory affair." for the cruise is an impor-
tant feature of the curriculum
The cadets have had four years of prepara-
tory training at the Naval Academy at Valpa-
raiso, where there about 100 cadets, OF
whom about fifteen are graduated every year.
After graduation they compelled to go on a
cruise similar to the one now being made by
the General Baquedano in order 10 acquire prac-
tical knowledge on the various subjects which
they studied technically at the Naval Academy
Navigation, pilotage, gunnery. hydrography
signalling and electricity among the impor-
tant subjects which are taken up by the young
men. When they return 10 their home port they
are examined and promoted to the grade of sub
lieutenant, if they are found proficient. But
this does not end their work. AS sub-leuten-
ants they must be in active service on man
of-war for eighteen months before they can
come up for final examination. When they have
passed that ordeal they receive their coininIs-
sons as second ieutenants.
The thirty-eight cadets on board the Heneral
Baouedano all gained their places in the Naval
Academy by competitive examination. and are
bright young fellows. Nearly all of them speak
French and several speak English fluently. Be

THE GENERAL BAQUEDANO.
A GILLIAN TRAINING SHIP VISITS THIS

Many private steam yachts, on which owners
took their guests to witness the yacht races last
week received and discharged their passengers
At Thirty-fifth-st-, North River. Yachts of all
sizes were to be seen at that point, but none of
these attracted so much attention the large
white hulled Chian training ship General
Baquedano, which was anchored in midstream
nearly opposite Thirty -fourth-st.
One naval sharp explained to a party of eX-
csarsionists that the vessel must be antique
tub to judge from her square stern and small
battery. But this was an error, for the General
Bauuedano was launched in England in July
1898 and was built after modern plans as
training ship. She has been in constant service
s;nce her completion, and now carries in addi-
t5on to her officers and of three hun
dred men, thirty Eight cadets from the Naval
Academy at Valparaiso. The vessel sailed from
Chill about five months ago, and ii will be hVe

HONEY AND BEESW AK.
WHERE THEY ARE PRODUCED MOST PLEN.
TIFULLY, AND WHERE MUCH
BEESWAX GOES.

Keeping bees is a pleasant and classic occUpa-
ton, sanctioned by poets in all ages; moreover
and to the practical modern this is far more
important, it is paying business when scien-
thcally conducted The number of beekeepers
In this country is estimated at about three hun
dred thousand. and they sell annually some
three million four million pounds of their
sweet produce In every State of the Union

gan. Wisconsin and Central and Northern New
York the great beekeeping sections. Where

keeping means pretty good income. Some bee
farmers have 1.5O0 10 5000 colonies under their

CURIOUS PRIVILEGES.

Some OF the PreroEatIveB Which Em-
bassndorH May Exercise.
A curious privilege of an ambassador
is that he and lie alone when dismiss
ed may turn his back to the sovereign
to whose court he is accredited. The
mode Of procedure is rs follows:
When the ambassadors audience Is
over, he waits to be dismissed by the
sovereign. When dismissed, the en-
bassador bows, retires three PAGES.
bows again, retires another three
PAGES, bows third time, turns on his
heels and walks to the folding doors.
But It Is felt that more polite methods
should obtain when the relgning SOW
ereign is a woman. To turn his back
is to be discourteous, to walk back
ward IS TO resign n privilege. The en-
basRador atires sideways, like crab.
He keeps me eye on the sovereign and
with the other tries to see the door.
He thus shows polItepess to the SOW
! ereIgn and at the same time retains
one OF his privileges. AS the embassa-
dor Is usually an old gentleman, 9ftep
short sighted, he sometimes falls to

with the wall.
Another privilege of ambassadors Is
the right of being uShered into the
royal presence through folding doors,
both OF which must be dung wide
open. No one except an ambassador
can claim this privilege. The most
any nonembassadorial person can ex'
pect is that one of the leaves shall be
opened to him. The reason for this
privilege Is not known. There are Ger
tain lrreverent suggestions that have
been made. but we prefer to be silent
with regard to them.
Another privilege. capable OF causing
great Inconvenience, is the embassa
doris right OF admission to the SOW
ereign at any hour of the day or night
