ABOUT HANDLING BEES.
Frequent Stings Render n Person Inn
mune Against the Poison.
shinRfon Sfar


Washington will recall a set Of moving
pictures which shows the handling Of bees
without apparent danger" said a scientist
at the Department of Agriculture this
morning. 1T Is a fact beyond dispute that
a person who has been often stung by bees
becomes absolutely immune to the poison.
when first began handling bees 1 was
frequently stung, and each sting was ac-
cOmpanied with acute pain. but time
went on the pain and swelling became less.
In the following year, while transferring a
hive Of bees, L had an experience which is
the basis OF this story.
I'm handling my bees sting after sting
followed in legs, arms, fingers. neck and
face. L imagined what a picture I would
present-closed eyes and swollen hands and
feet-but then IL did not seem TO pain "a
much, and al last finished the task With
aching head. slight nausea and vertigo

sigh OF relief, but filled with wonder as 10

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
parts OF my body. My clothes were full
of them. The dizziness, nausea and head
ache soon left me, and / was myself again.
when / again visited my bees 1 did not
dread the singing properties any longer.
and ever since 1 have found that when a
bee does sting me the pain is only sharp
for an instant, and there Is absence OF
the after-swelling. l have since been stung
many more times than l was at that time,
and yet none OF the symptoms above re-
ferred to has been reproduced. Am I not
therefore immune OF the honey bees poison
TO a certain extent?

fact as a crumb OF comfort 10 n0vices In

Suitable Inscription.

On of my trips through the South I
sauntered into old dilapidated cemetery of
Virginia and read many very peculiar eptaphs
upon tombstones. One in particular attracted
my attention which happened to be that of a
slave who had been inclined to be stout. The
grave had long been neglected, and the inscrip-
ton could only be read after brushing away
the vines which grew over il. But my labor
was rewarded for there the tombstone 1

mediately in his path?
In the foregoing extract from the Times
Democrat article it bases its support of the
Panama treaty on considerations local to
the South. but further on it takes the
broad national ground that the canal would
contribute materially TO our national safety
by almost doubling the power of our navy
to protect the Pacific coast and our Pa
ciic ocean possessions. 1t calls attention
10 the fact that with the canal in opera
ton our warships could be concentrated
for action either in the Atlantic or Pacific
ocean or in the Gulf of Mexico far more
speedily and safely than they could be
without it. Thus the New Orleans paper
finds national as we'll as sectional grounds
for supporting the Panama treaty.

styled by a leading Southern paper "a

political acumen to recognize an accom-
plished and irrevocable political fact. when
