SCIENCE AND BEE STINGS.

NJ Phisallx, a distinguished French
chemist. has made a discovery about
tie nature of bee stings that is quite
revelation, and. considering that
bees have been carefully studied for
thousands of years by the most fa-
nous naturalists and philosophers,
from Solomon and Aristotle onward,
this is especially Interesting. Hith
elto the generally accepted theory
about the sting of the queen bee has
been:
|. That it has been given" her to
project her hard earned storts or hon
e> from maraudins insects. etc.
>. That these darts work ndepend-
emily and alternately. and are CON
nected at the base with the poison
sac, withou, whose powerful contents
srch a tiny weapon would be wholly
ineffective
3. That the poison glands pour an
acid secretion Oargely fromic acid)
into the sac. whence il is conveyed to
the tip of the sting along the groove
or canal formed by the FUNCTION 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
well-preserved honey. but not in fresh
ly-gathered nectar: and
6. That it has been added by the
bees to assist in the preservation Of
the honey, but how hat is accomplish
ed has not yet been demonstrated.
NJ. Phsalix's researches appear to
show that the poison contains three
p"inciples-One convulsive. one stupe-
fying and one which stimulates in
|flammation The extraordinary fea-
tGre of the discovery is that the poi
son contains two INGREDIENTS opposed
one to the other That may account
for the fact that fatal cases of bee
sting are exceedingly rare although
not unknown.

RUSSIA COMES TO TIME.
AGREES to Consider the American
Passport Question.

St Petersburg. Oct S.-Contrary to
general expectations. the representa-
tions submitted to Russia by the unl5-
O., States for the recognition without
discrimination of American passports
have not been entirely fruitless. For
eign Minister I.amsdorf's response
communicated 70 Ambassador McCor-
mick today. even creates the hope
that something may actually be &C
complished.
After receiving consideration at the
foreign office the American note was
referred to the high commission for
general revision of the passport laws

The Mammoth and the Mosquito

What has come 20 pass In thousands Of
years seems hardly credible. Primitive
man, a weakling in comparison to modem
man, was able to conquer the huge mon
sters of thousands Of years ago, such as
the Mamnsofh, and to-day they are dead
forever; yet the mosquito and Ay have
never been conquered. It Is now time
for the scientist to devise methods for kill
ing the mosquito aud iy, so that they viii
go to Join the mammoth and the monster
lizards. The mosquitoes and flies are dan
gerous enemies Of man because they spread
contagion. The mosquito often earries the
germ OF malaria with his bite. The house,
fy spreads germs Of disease over our food.
These bacterial germs, ever hunting for
the weak spot, find a place In our blood,
and then we suffer from grip, catarrh, con-
sumption. or malaria.
DR.. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, says. ~There
would be no grip epidemics, the germs 81
consumption, or malaria would End no
place in the human economy, II the blood
were pure, II the lungs, heart and othes
organs were fed on good blood. Poisonu
should not be allowed to accumulate in the
body; to be safe II is best to take gentle
laxative at least once a week. Such .
vegetable laxative as Or. Pierce's Pleasan,
Pellets contains nothing which could harm
the system.
For putting the blood in order, and as q
tissue builder and tonic for those weakened
by coughs, colds, catarrh, grip, nothing will
