The wild bees Of the desert and mountains

The wild bees Of the desert and mountains
provide an interesting study. and honey
hunting is most unique sport, which is
not without it's dangers, but with recon-
pense @ sufficiently delightful to repay. one
Tor its difficulties. In the cavities of the
highest rocks the bees gather in great
sWarms and store their supply of food.
with remarkable sagacity they choose the
most inaccessible spots, and frequently find
piaces which battle all ingenuity Of even
the Indian, the most persistent seeker of
money frequently great boards of honey
are round In caves and down the sides of
steep Gins where thousands of bees have
stored their products for perhaps scores of
years, and sometimes as much as a thou
sahd POUNDS OF honey are taken from such
places. The Indian bee hunter many times
rlsks ms life to obtain the nectar Of the
Wild bees, and swings himself at the end of
a frail rope far down the sides of a steep
precip1ce. Neither is his danger ended
there. for If not well protected from the
onsiaught or the bees, sometimes in 1ense
swarms of thousands, he IS likely to be-
come victim Of the angry defenders.
indeed, not long since Papago young man

DEV0TEES OF JAINIsM.
Believe In the Eternal Persistence
and Progressive Evolution.


From the San Francisco Chronicle.
San Francisco. having already become
acquainted with theosophy. the mystic re-
ligions Of Brahma and Buddha and with
the lofty philosophy of the Vedantan
Swamis, 1t only remained to learn of Jain
ism, perhaps the sanest and most ideal of
all the East Indian religions. Yesterday
before large audience, in the rooms of
the Laurel Hall Club, 1920 California
street, Jainism made it's first bow to the
people of California, the lecturer being
Emlyn Lewys, until recently a resident Of
London. Prof. Lewys is a scholar of strik-
in personality, and the only English-speak-
ing authority on this most ancient of re-
ligions
Jainsm as explained by the speaker, is
the Professionalism of India as opposed to
the Vedas, Brahmanism and the soul-par-
alyZing caste system. 1t aims at the per-
fection of character, not through faith, but
through correct conduct and systematic
| intellectual activity or concentration as op-
posed to the Yogi system of intellectual
Vacuity. The speaker said:
IF a religion may be known by its fruits
what snail We say of this one, which though
now numbering 0J0O00 votaries and dat
ing it's origin long prior to the entrance of
the Aryans into India in prehistoric times
has never y~t produced a murderer? Though
! regarding kingship the greatest injus-
! tice. still the Jains do two-thirds of all the
d.
! eat meat and the monks often carry
| brooms and sweep the paths to avoid
| crushing the insects. They believe in the
/ advancement of women. in reincarnation
! and the eternal persistency and progressive
| evolution of each ego, and hold that the
| atrocities of the soul and intellect, such as
/ sense knowledge, clairvoyance telepathy,
/ the emotions. the physical constitution and
/ the power 10 achieve are all under the OBJ
| scuration of Karma, which to the Jain is
a substance. The object of their study and
! effort is to shake this karmic clog out and
/ to liberate the soul by vibrating in a GER
| tain way. This may be done by concen-
/ trating on such ideals as benevolence,
| charity or wisdom, by analyzing the teach
| ings found in their enormous and as yet
| untranslated libraries, and then by SYM
! theizing and Immediately acting on these
| truths Jainism then Is the religion of in
| telligence, utility and Of action. The Jains
marry at the age of nine or ten, and live

DESERTED WIVES.
Apt to BE FOrgfvfng Even IL They
Make a Complaint to the Courts.
From he phfls sdalpbfa praes

From the Philadelphia Press.
An odd statement emanating from the
Chicago bureau of associated charities
casts an interesting sidelight upon the d.
vorce question. According to this state
ment the burden upon the bureau OF
women who have been deserted by their
husbands is out of all proportion to a civ
nized society. In one way and another it
has been estimated that there are in Chi
cago $500 women who have been thus left
alone in the world. Some of the recreants
have disappeared, but many are still hang
ers-on in the household, leaving their wives
to earn the bread. What. then, the Chi
cago courts are asking, is to be done with
these offenders? The question would be
simple enough were it not that the de-
serted wife is loath to set In motion the
machinery of the law. or IL she has done
so, is generally anxious to stop it.
A Philadelphia lawyer, when asked about
this. was of the impression that affairs
were not much better in this city. You
must" he said, devise an effective punish
ment before you can stop crime. When
husband is to be tried for ill-treating his
wife the latter must generally be the prose-
cutor, and If she gets far as taking the
oath her spirit generally leaves her at about
that point She leaves the magistrates
Office, and by night she IS back at the sta
ton house begging to see the fellow 1 be-
lieve that In Philadelphia fully 75 per cent
of these arrests are lost through the de-
fault of the wife as the complaining wit
ness. Besides. many a woman who would
be only too glad to be rid of husband in
any other way will refuse to take a step
that would land him in jail" The Chicago
society is now looking out for about fifty
women who have been deserted These
women are cleaning. cooking, sewing and
scrubbing at from 81 to $1.50 day, but an
officer of the society expresses the opinion
that fully 40 per cent of them are sharing
their earnings with their good-for-nothing
husbands

The popular clergyman who had been en-

The wealthy members having been heard

ARIZONA HONEY.
Sweets Extracted From the Mesquite
and Cacti of the Desert.

and Cacti Of the Desert.
From the Kansas City Star.
Never before have Arizona's bees pro-
duced such a great crop of honey as that
of the present year. There has never been
a year In a decade that this territory has
not produced 100000 or more pounds Of
honey most of which has been placed in
New York and Chicago markets. During
this season, however, conditions have been
more favorable than heretofore, and an un-
usual plentitude Of water has given such
great growth to desert flora and to culti-
waited crops in the alfalfa and fruit districts
that the production will be nearly double
its usual size. While the alfalfa blossom Is
to be credited with the greater part Of the
Arizona honey, and the orange, peach, april
cot and pear blossoms do their part, the
best and sweetest results are obtained
where the bees harvest from desert
able during the spring and early summer,
while the alfalfa blossoms can be used for
the larger part of the year.
Strange as 1t may seem, the mesquite
and cactus which flourish without water,
provide. the bees with honey far superior
to that from cultivated plants, and the
blossom and fruit of the cactus is even
better than the mesquite blossom. The
most handsome of desert flowers grow on
the hundreds of varieties of cactus. One of
the most beautiful is the Cereus Giganteus,
the organ cactus, generally known by Its
Spanish appellation Of the "Saguara." Ari-
zona's most typical plant. that towers in
great, green futed shafts, the most con-
spicuous and oldest object on all the plains.
In the late springtime each saguara is
crowned by mass of brilliant, silken white
flowers, sometimes over 100 In a bunch.
Each blossom Is about four inches across.
Nearly all develop to fruit, the ''petahaya," "
the most paiatabie Of the wild products,
and In the blossom and the fruit the wild
bees and the tame ones find the essence of
honey. The prickly pear. the night bloom
Ing cereus, the cholla. the double barred
terror of the desert. the ocatilla and many
others give honey to the bees, while the
wild roses of the rocks and the thousands
Of smaller flowers aid in furnishing the
most delicately favored honey known to
the apiartes.
In the Salt river valley bees work for a
longer period than in any other locality, a
crop of 300 pounds of honey to each hive
being not unusual. while an average of 1O0
pounds for the season is maintained From
Phoenix and Temple alone are shipped
about 1000 600 pounds Of honey each year,
nearly all Of 1t being separated or strained.

THE NAME OF GOD.
His Character and Nature Shown in
His Name.


From the New York Observer.
The name of God is his manifested nature.
Unaided reason can never determine what
the divine nature is IN its mysterious es-
sence, nor does even a revelation resolve
every mystery connected with the being and
character of God In a certain true sense it
is never given to mortal man. or to any Gre
ated creature, to see God.
And yet in just as real, though in a some
what different sense, it is possible for a
man, that is, for a believing man, to see
God. Gods nature, essentially mystic
rious, hidden in the recesses of an awful
majesty, is manifested to a degree, so far
as it is either possible or desirable for
Though an absolutely perfect gnosts of God
is not afforded, nor ever promised us, we
need not pose as agnosticS. Our knoWl-
edge is valid so far as it goes. We are not
obliged, with Herbert Spencer, to toy with
the notion of Persistence of force,
which transcends our capacities of concep-
ton, or to phrase Deity as an Absolute IN
scrutability. We are not tempted to try,
with the gnostic Valentinus, to separate
God from His attributes and reduce Him to
an eternal silence, nor to crack our brains
epdeavoring to think, with Bassilides. Of
the non-existent God" We fear as we
enter into such clouds of vain, self-contra-
dictory speculation. Such obscurantism can
never satisfy an immortal spirit What
our hearts demand is not an infinite vacu-
uneven though We should affect to capt.
talize that vacancy and term 1t q divine
abyss-but is a heavenly vision.
In the Scriptures this clearer view Of God
Is afforded us. Though
Nature herself is but a verger, showing
The silent, glorious Temple of the Lord.
Yet that physical shrine which science un-
locks for us remains but a silent temple. un-
til in the gospel of His Son the great tenant
of the universe is heard to speak. The
vision we have Of God. and the only vision
we can have, must be a Shekinah pretense
In the sanctuary of redeemed life The

personal God, but brings Him near to men as
an object of worship and subject for rev.
