IMMUNITY TO BEE STINGS.
Bee Keeper Becomes Proof Through
incubation With the Poison.

From the Medi ,al Times.
That a person who has been often stung
by bees becomes in time immune to the
poison Of the sting Is asserted by DR.. H. F.
Parker. He reports that when he first be-
gan to keep bees he was frequently stung.
and that each sting was attended with
acute pain; but that as time went on the
pain and swelling became less. In the fol-
lowing year, while transferring hive OF
bees, he had an experience which he thus
relates:
Sting followed sting in succession. In
legs, arms, fingers, neck and face. l imag-
tned what a picture / would present, closed
eyes and swollen hands and feet. worked
on, and so did the bees. I could feel the
needle-like thrust, but then 1t did not seem
to pain as much. and at last finished the
task. With aching head. slight nausea and
vertigo slowly coming on, left my task
with a sigh of relief for what was accom-
plished. and filled with wonderment as to
what my personal appearance would be-
Imagine my establishment to find merely
slightly raised red spots. like little pimples
with the red sting in the center. as the re-
suit of each and every sting. 1 must have
had something like forty Of them on various
parts Of my body. My clothes were full OF
them. but. they. being so thick, did not al
nausea and headache left me. and Richard
was himself again
when l again visited my bees did not
dread the singing properties any longer,
at least, not as much SO as formerly, and
then, and ever since, I have found that
when a bee does sting me the pain is only
sharp for an instant and there Is an alb
sence of the after-swelling.
Il have since been stung many more times
than l was at that time. and yet none or
the symptoms above referred to have been
reproduced. Am 1 not, therefore, immune
to the poison of the honey bee,- at least to
a certain extent?
"All authorities on bee culture state the
fact, as crumb Of comfort to novices IN
beekeeping, that the poison of bee VIII
produce less and less effect upon their sys-
TENS. old beekeepers,' 1t Is said, like
Mithridates, appear almost to thrive upon
the poison Itself Hush speaks of seeing
the bald head of Bonner. a celebrated prac-
teal apiarist, covered with stings, which
seemed to produce upon him no unpleasant
effect Rev Mr.. Kleine advises beginners
to allow themselves to be stung frequently,
assuring them that in two seasons their
systems will become accustomed to the
poison.
"In conclusion, let me state that firmly
believe that the beekeeper becomes inoc-
uIated with the poison of the bee. and
usuaIly becomes proof, or at least immune.
against IT, Is no more to be doubted than
the fact that vaccination Is preventive
against smallpox.

A badger, which had made its home

while painting sea piece. discovered a

London clay and Essex marshes are two

England's Beundarymaker.

From the London Chronicle.
Sir Thomas Holdich leaves England with
in the next few days on his mission to
lay down the new frontier between Chile
and the Argentine Republic 1t is not a
light task. but Sir Thomas already knows
something of the Andes, and he has proba-
bly, had more experience in mapping out
boundaries than any man living. Much of
his work has been on the frontiers of India,
which he knows as intimately as we know
our London streets. He has written a book
called the Indian Borderland," and If ever
he gives us his "reminiscences they should
be full Of agreeable accounts Of travel. He
was serving In India nearly forty years ago
as a young officer of the Royal Engineers.
The Abyssinian campaign took him to an
other continent, but the Afghan war. took
him back to the regions which he has done
so much to make plain on maps. Sir Thorn
as Is within sight OF sixty, but grand
tour of mountainous South America has no
terrors for him. He and his staff OF engi-
neers expect to be away several months.
