BEE STING PoiSoNs.
Remarkable Discovery Made by Dis
tingushed French Chemist.

M. Phisalix, distinguished French
chemist, has made discovery about
the nature OF bee stings that is quite
a revelation, and, considering that
Dees nave been carefully studied for
thousands of years by the most fam
Gus philosophers, from Sol
ONION and Aristotle onward, this is
specially interesting Hitherto the
generally accepted theory about the
sung OF the queen bee has been:
1. That it has been "given" her to
protect her hard-earned stores of hon
ey from marauding insects, etc.
z. That the darts work independ-
emily and alternately, and are connect
ed at the base wit hthe poison sac,
without whose powerful contests such
a tiny weapon would be wholly inef-
tective.
3. That the poison glands pour an
acid secretion largely formic acid)
in this sac, whence it is conveyed to
the top of the sting along the groove
or canal formed by the junction of the
sheath and the darts.
4. That the formic acid is known
to have considerable antiseptic prop
critics.
5. That it is found present in we'll
preserved honey, but not in freshly
gathered nectar
6. That it has been added by the
bees to assist in the preservation
of the honey, but how that is accom-
plished has not yet been demonstrated.
M. Phisalix's researches appear to
show that the poison contains three
principles-one convulsive, one stupe-
flying, and one which stimulates in
flammation. The extraordinary fea-
ture of the discovery is that the poison
contains two ingredients opposed one
to the other. That may account for
the fact that fatal cases of bee sting
are excessively rare, although not I'M
known. In June, 1900, boy at Mol
lington, Oxfordshire, was stung by a
bee. and died within half an hour in
great convulsive pain. An inquest
was held on the body, and medical
man gave it as his opinion that no
one could be fatally poisoned by a
bee sting, and that the boy died from
"heart depression and nerve shock
consequent upon the sting" In the
matter of bee stings, as in many other
cases of disease and death, modern
bacterial and chemical researches are
revolutionizing medical theories and
practices.-Pall Mall Gazette.

her mother was what Eloise had been
promised in delicate words that could
not be resented as a bribery.
Your dear mother may live for
years in quiet house, but this con-
slant care and toll is killing her!"
So, little by little, wearing out the
young hearts constancy by steady per-
severance, Cyrus Worthington won
Eloise for his wife. She told him she
did not love him, but knowing nothing
Of Bert's spoken love to her mother.
she kept her maiden secret folded close

leading lawyer and asked for an in.

"Assuredly, and Mrs. Hunters ad-

one week ago. I leave you the adj
dress of my assistant in Paris, the
lawyer who drew up the will, and the
witness, that you may ascertain that
all is correct"
And, unheeding the lawyers keen,
scrutinizing looks, Cyrus Worthington
bowed himself out of the office.
"a bold game the lawyer muttered;
che has played his cards we'll"
And while he spoke there was
noise in the street, a rush of many

hard to explain just why this famous
breed of cattle has passed away, but
the stock has completely died out and
today the huge horns of the former
monarchs of the West are seen now
and then adjoining particularly swag-
ger bars, but are found no more on
the plains.
The modern steer, like the modern
cowboy, is inferior. The cattle now
seen on the ranches of the West are
smaller and not nearly SO wild or SO
powerful as the old long-horns. The
modern ranch is also an institution of
today. Up-to-date methods are used
and many of the old features have
been eliminated.
