NOT SURPRISING.

There is a curious disturbance in Sa- lem, Massachusetts. Some of the town born there are considerably agitated. Frederick P. Aver of New York wants to put up in Salem s5o.Ooo monument perpetuating the memory of his Quak- CT ancestors who were driven from the town, and some of the salenites object. They admit that the work is beautiful from an artistic standpoint, but say that MT. Aver ought not to expect them to allow him to present the ancient rul- CTS of Salem in the guise of wild beast. The statue represents man struggling with tiger who has attack ed a woman, the sculptor using the tiger to impersonate superstition.
 It is not surprising that some of the Salem town-born don't want their an- cestors pictured as they were. There are other places where some descend ants would object to having it done.

When Iull- grown, each larvae pins silken cocoon about itself, changes to the pupa form. It remains in this stage for two or three weeks, and then fanges to an adult bee, which emerges from the cocoon by cut ting lid at it's apex. As soon as the bee has come out. the other workers cut off the upper half of the cocoon, clear away the rubbish, but, being thrifty. they keep the lower part as sort Of jar to hold the nectar and honey as they are brought into. the nest.
 For some time, all the bees which are 1 matched are workers, but in tAugus there appear a number of perfect fe- males or queens, and some males or l drones. In a few days these leave the nest, presumably on their marriage l flight, and never return.

It looks as if the Grenzboten of Leip- zig had not heard of the new good feeling between Germany and the United States: It makes strong plea for the concentration of all German migration upon Brazil and for giving those Germans who go thither assur- ance that the German government will eventually convert the Brazilian prov inces in which they settle into Ger man colony.

Not long ago we were hearing about the decay of British trade, and there was solemn talk that Great Britain was on the way down hill. But there is now another story. According to the figures put before the Chambers Of Commerce of the United Kingdom by Lord Avebury at recent meeting, British trade is not 'petering out" but is increasing it's already large total. In 1902 the total. of imports and exports was $4,o60, 100000. or $50,000,000 more than in 1901, and more than in any pre- vious year. The popular consumption of necessaries and luxuries has greatly increased-a sign of progress.

----------------->----------- THE BUMBLEBEE.

Last spring, while studying meadow mice, I frequently got glimpses Of the home life of the bunblebee, which or ten found occupying the deserted grass nests of the little rodents in the low meadows. The life history of this little insect is a very interesting one, ana IS one which may easily be studied py any one having a little patience and spare time. Unless one begins in the right way, however, the first, observation ne is likely to make is that the bumblepee has g. sting, and that4he can use 1t with great severity. It has been found good plan to hunt for the nests in the daytime. but not to disturb them until the bees have retired for the night. The student should provide himself with a wooden box ia large cigar box will dol, with glass cover and a small hole in one end. He should also have small bottle of chloroforn1. a pair or forceps and a wide-mouthed bottle cov- cred with gauge. Thus equipped, he should approach the nest about dusk, and pour a little Of the chloroform over it.
 This will create considerable conafno- ton in the nest, but presently the ehlo- roform will do it's work, and the hum- ming will cease. The nest may then be opened, and the bumblebees picked out, one by one, with the forcept, and placed in the wide-mouthed bottle. The nest with the rest of it's contents should be placed in the cigar-boE. The bees will soon revive after this treatment, ana, if the chloroform has been used in mod eration, even the larvae will be unlh- jured. The box may then be taken I home and fastened to the window-siii, | just outside the dindow, where the stu- dent may oberve his bees at his leisure The opening at the end of the poS l should be kept closed for day.. ana then opened, that the bees may come
 and 20 as they please, Careful notes should be kept on all that is observed
 and now and then it may be advisanie
 to chloroform the bees, and see wha' has been going on in the nest
 As it is known to-day, the life history
 of the bumblebee is about as follows
 A fertile female bee, which has passed
 the winter in torpid state, sets out t found a little colony. First of all, sh' either hunts up an old meadow-fnouse'
 nest, or begins to make a new nest fo herself. In the latter case, she collects
 a. little heap of moss or grass, whici
 she usually deposits in slight depres
 sion in the ground. Under this ftti heap. she makes a lump of wax. in cav ities of which she lays her eggs, severa
 together After matching, the larvae O
 grubs remain in the wax. and are her fed with a mixture of polish and honey
 In July many of the gruhs have be
 come adult bees, and the nest contains besides the queen, a number of worker of different sizes. These workers seen
