Some Court Decisions.

recalls decision OF an Irish Judge
that bees are dangerous and malici-
GUS creatures" and that no one has a
right to keep them In unreasonable
numbers or In an improper place.
Both decisions may be set down
among the curiosities Of legal wisdom
with the decision that pigeons are not
domestic animals, that frogs are fish
and that horses are cattle. It has at
least to be decided what is an unrea-
sonable number OF bees. Leland, it
self has somewhere between 10000 and
10000 hives, yielding honey by hum
dreds Of tons in a year. and the largest
bee-owner In the world, who lives In
California, has 5000 hives which are
worth handsome fortune every year.

licitous for reciprocity with the
United States, further than to get q

day firmly welded to the high tariff
idea as against American trade, and is
steadily raising the barriers to pro.

has seen that a high tariff is forcing
American capital across the border,
and on that account also will insist
upon It. i ~

Laying all jokes aside, what excuse
has an old bachelor for living? Posi-.
bly, the better one Is that he can't help
1t or that 1t Is no fault Of his that he
Is or that he continues to exist These
observations are made from the old
maids point of view. which seems to
be the point from which the old bach
esor is viewed. There are other view
points from which he appears TO better
advantage, particularly at first glance,
but when the halo of sentiment which
he has gathered around him has been
blown away even these points do not
offer enhancing views The fact re
mains, howTer, that he still exists and
still has natural force enough to de-
velop halo of sentiment that is more
or less attractive to the opposite sex,
II not really magnetic, and strong
enough to draw attention to him, and
respectful attention too. The bachelor
ought to know why he Is as he is, and
no doubt he does. but for some reason
or other he has not been entirely sue
cessful In satisfying the public that his
reasons are good and sufficient 1t is

The detection OF the direction of a
sound by the sense of hearing is, like
the rapid focusing OF the eye on OBJ
jects at different distances. one OF those
instructive operations which are con-
tinually done without any conscious
method
Sound waves traverse the air as rip
Piles stir the water, and the ear. by ex-
perience. acquires some slight power Of
detecting the direction in one case, as
the eye does with far greater accuracy
In the other. Usually we unconscious
ly receive assistance from other senses
as well. Often we fail to locate at
once some hidden source OF sound. such
as n singing bird. and then our instinc-
tive ingenuity displays itself.
The intensity OF sound Is. OF course,
by no means so great behind a screen
as In front OF II, and every one carries
with him the screen of his own head,
which may prevent particular sound
from being heard so well by one ear
as by the other. If. then, the head is
turned until this inequality disappears.
and both ears hear equally well. we
know that we must be directly facing
or turned from the source of sound,
and our previous rough idea of its
whereabouts generally prohibits us to
face Ii.

The Handicap of Lack of Education.
Many men OF wonderful natural en-
dowments are dwsried and hampered in
their life-work because of their lack OF
education, says Success.
How often do we see bright minds In
responsible positions, serving on boards
OF directors, as trustees Of great business
houses or banking institutions, men who
control the affairs OF great railroads and
manufactures, who have good judgment
and great natural ability, but who are SO
stunted and cremped by their lack of
early development that life does not yield
them one-tenth OF what 1t might had
their intellectual and aesthetic possibili-
ties been unfolded in youth. In social
life, on public platforms, in debate, In the
higher fields OF the worlds work, enjoy
ment, progress, they are constantly
baffied, embarrassed, and handicapped by
the limitations OF ignorance.
tAesin, thousands of young men, and
young women are working to-day In in
ierior positions because of their lack Of
mental culture. Conscious OF dormant
powers which they cannot get control OF,
many of them fret end chafe under the
restraints imposed upon them by their
own ignorance.
They are in the position OF the Chinese
and other non progressive peoples, who
have great mineral. agricultural, and
other natural resources, which, however,
do not yield them hundredth part Of
their value because they do not know how
to utilize them. In the very midst Of
potential wealth and vast possibilities,
those people live in poverty and degrade
ton, just as an unedueated man or woman,
who has never developed his or her men,
tai eeltb, is doomed to perpetual igno-
rance and its consequences.

how long before the pillar would com

standing by noticed his expression.

he said. There are the ages of brass

when Linen liz Translucent.

The Wilderness and opacity of dry
linen, as of writing paper. are due
mainly to the fact Of repeated reflex
ions at the surface, so that the light is
wasted In these reyerberations before
1t can reach to any depth.
The body of linen is a network Of
transparent fibers not In optical con
tact, which intercept the light by re-
peatedly rehexing il. Now, If the in
terstices OF these fbers are filled by a
body OF the same retroactive index as
the flbers themselves the reAexlon OF
the surface is destroyed and the linen
is rendered more transparent. Water
does this; hence linen when wet Is
darker, but more translucent. just as
is the oiled paper used for tracings by
architects and engineers.
The same holds good with ordinary
glass and ground glass. the repeated
reflections of the latter making 1t far
less transparent. To similar cause are
due the whiteness and opacity Of snow,
of salt and of pulyerized glass.
