Great, indeed, is the amount Of
work which q busy bee will do in
day. Every head of clover consists
of about go flower tubes, each of
which contains very small quantity
of sugar. Bees will often visit a hun
dred different heads of clover before
retiring to the hive, and in order to
obtain the sugar necessary for a load
must, therefore, thrust their tongues
into about 5000 different flowers. A
bee will make 20 trips day when
the clover patch is convenient to the
hive. and thus will draw the sugar
from 100000 different flowers in the
course Of single days work

IMMENSE TREES TN FLORlDA.
Monarchs Of the Forest That Have
Stood for Centuries.

It is difficult even to guess at the
age of the ancient live oaks, but some
of them must number centuries and
the Oldest and greatest Of them ali
is q monarch of the forest, with its
outer branches sweeping the ground
IN a circle 120 feet across, with limbs
as great as ordinary trunks of trees
and bearing {. garden of aerial ferns
and air-plants upon their bark. This
venerable tree is supposed to be the
largest live oak in Florida. Enormous
grapevine trunks rise sinuously from
the ground and lose themselves amid
the quarter-acre of foliage that
crowns this tree; the saplings that
once gave them support have disap-
peared long years ago, their only
record being the angles and curves of
grapevine stem to which they lent
their transient aid in climbing sky

A Prosperous Institution.

The Board of Directors of the
First National Bank Of this city met
on January End, and declared a
seven, per cent dividend on last
years business. A surplus of
$l250 was also. set aside, besides
$631.6 SO, the banks taxes. This
shows: that the bank is in a pros
porous condition and ranks as one
of the solid financial institutions of
Marshall county. Much credit is
due to the careful and conservative
management of cashier F. W. Flan-
ders for this excellent showing.

AN ANTI-TRUsT VICTORY.

IT MAY BE A little early for the peo-
pie to smile over their victory in
the first bout with the meat trust, but
it is just as well for them to smile
while they can The trust has some
resourceful attorneys who will doubt
less take advantage of. every Oppor-
tunity to delay final action in the case.
Several methods are open TO them and
they may be expected to exhaust all of
them before acknowledging themselves
defeated.
The initial victory is important, how
ever. Judge Grosscup of the United
States circuit court. sitting in Chicago,
has found that the meat trust is
combination in restraint OF trade and
that it therefore comes under the pro-
visions of the Sherman antitrust law.
He finds that the defendants agreed
to refrain from bidding against each
other in the purchase of cattle: that
they agreed tc bid up prices for the
purpose of stimulating shipments, in
tending to cease from bidding on the
arrival of the shipments.
Judge Grosscup found further, that
the packers combined to fix the prices
of meat and restrict the quantities
shipped to each of their customers or
agents. He might also have found that
the combination refuses to sell at all
TO butchers who refuse to handle their
lines exclusively or who refuse to sell
meat at trust prices. Further, he
might have found that the trust has
ruined many a butcher who declined to
do business on it's terms.
The effect of the temporary injunc-
tion issued against the meat trust by
Judge Grosscup will not be Immediately
apparent. The firms and corporations
composing the trust will doubtless Sc
cure a stay of proceedings for pur-
poses of appeal, and it may be a year
or two before the temporary injunc-
ton is made permanent. if at all. Still.
it is good to know that there is at
least one federal judge who under
stands that there are such things as
trusts and that they are in violation
Of the law.
While the proceedings. thus far dem
onstrate the strength % the Sherman
antitrust law, so-called, in some cases,
they demonstrate its weakness in
others. If the packers had formed
mammoth corporation. such as the
steel trust, issuing capital stock to its
owners in proportion to the value of
their plants and having one manage
ment for all, the Sherman law would
have been powerless to interfere.
Neither is there anything in that act
which prevents the formation of other
great trusts. or mammoth monopOlies.
The Sherman law simply forbids
combinations of individual dealers in
restraint of competition or trade. The
individuals may merge their interests
under one president, one board of di-
rectors and one set Of officers when
ever they desire.

THE CORNELL EPIDEMIC.

T HAT Is A DISTRESSING state of
affairs which exists in Cornell uni
versity, at Ithaca, New York. AS a
direct result of an impure water sup
ply several hundred students have
been stricken with typhoid fever and
nearly all who are able to get away
from the university have done so. Three
deaths and a number of new cases
were reported in the dispatches pub
lished yesterday.
AS is well known, typhoid fever be-
longs in the list of what physicians
call preventabIe diseases. 1t is there
fore, astonishing that an epidemic
should have been possible at Cornell.
a seat of learning that is celebrated
all over the United States. and that
numbers among its alumni some of the
nations most eminent men. Certainly
somebody in authority at Cornell has
been criminally careless.
We are told that some months ago
an analysis of the water used in the
university was made. It was shown
that the fluid contained typhoid germs
in alarming quantities. A system of
and it was urged that all necessary
steps to prevent an epidemic be taken
In spite of this warning nothing seems
to have been done.
Now comes word that the authorities
will install at once a filtration plant
that win cost $15O,O00. In other words,
the stable door viii be locked after
the horse has been stolen. Cornell
must inevitably suffer enormously as
result of this epidemic of typhoid.
Aside from the expense to which the
directors of the institution will be put
in remedying the water supply. there
will be a loss of confidence which years
will be required to restore
Mothers and fathers will remember
that the epidemic could have been
prevented if proper precautions had
been taken in the beginning. They viii
remember that the authorities were
warned and that they failed to heed
the warning. There may be another
side to the case. the directors may
have some excuse for their inaction
but the public will be slow to accept
any excuse>as reasonable.

CHIEF PAUL's RETIREMENT.

THE HERALD congTatulates former
l. Chief of Police Paul upon his vol
untary retirement from his official po-
sition. The atmosphere of the livery
stable cannot fail to be more congenial
to him than the atmosphere in which he
has been spending a part of his time
since his appointment about a year ago.
For Chief Paul personally. The Herald
has never entertained any but the
kindliest feelings.
As chief of police he was simply a
very nice old gentleman who was sadly
out of his element While it is never
pleasant to say unkind things when
the necessity for saying them has
passed, it cannot now be said with
truth that Captain Paul made a good
chief of police or that he will be sadly
missed by the department. He did not
make a good chief and the city viii,
without the slightest possibility of
doubt, be the gamer by his retirement.
The trouble with Captain Paul was
that he never gave the time to his Of
fetal duties which he should have given
to them. This is not to be wondered
at, either. for it would have been I'M
Reasonable to expect him to neglect his
large private interests for the interests
of the public, especially when the sal
airy he received constituted but small
proportion of his income. 1t was but
natural for Captain Paul to be chief
of police more as a recreation than as
q business, and to attend to his livery
stable with more conscientious atten-
ton to detail than he gave to the other
In the appointment of his successor
II is hoped that no disgraceful squabble
between the mayor and the city council
will arise. We hope. too, that Mayor
Thompson will not again make the mis-
take Of naming a man who is not will
Ing to devote his entire time to the du
ties OF the position. No man can be
a good chief of police in Salt Lake City
unless he gives the place every one OF
mis- waking hours.
Coupled with the willingness to work
must be ability to handle the members
of the force and a knowledge of the
habits and descriptions of the criminal
classes. 1t should be possible to find
In Salt Lake a man in whom these
qualifications are centered. We trust
that personal considerations and petty,
partisan feelings will be brushed aside
In the selection and confirmation of
Captain PauPs successor. Unless this
is done, we may expect another era of
lawlessness and Reorganization such
as the city has suffered so much from
IN the last year or two.
