BIG BEE RANCH IN FRISCO
Public School Principal of Coast City Harvests Third of Ton
 of Honey a Season.

There is bee ranch with more than 100000 bees in the heart Of one of the densest residence districts of San Fran cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior, prin- cipal of a public school, and is in the little back yard of his home. For ten years he has kept his bees there, has harvested about third of a ton of honey each season and has been at no expense for food for his interesting and industrious pets. Although it Is dis tance of two and one-half miles from the Prior bee ranch to Golden Gate park, the bees make the trip there, collect loads of honey and get back to the hive in two minutes, making . bullet-like flight at the surprising rate of 150 miles an hour. MT. Prior has demonstrated this by having an observer watch cer- tain bee-favored places in the park and exactly timing the arrival there of bees he purposely sprinkled with -four as they issued from a hive. He has also kept time on the absence of the whitened bees

HAS FEW TRADE FACILITIES
Mobile Merchant Experiences Difa- culties in Getting Goods to Cap
 itAl of Guatemala.

A Mobile merchant sold some cotton goods not long ago to be delivered at Guatemala City Within 300 feet of his warehouse . steamer was loading for Puerto Barrios, whence runs railway to within 60 miles of the Guatamalan capital. To reach the latter the goods would have to be packed over the noun tains by Indians or on muleback. The merchant found it cheaper to ship by way of San Francisco, thence by boat to San Jose, Guatamala, and to the cap- ital by rail. New Orleans, terminus of the Southern Pacific. is almost next door to Mobile. New York, however, 1en- joyed a cheaper rate because there was competition with the routes across the Atlantic and thence round Cape Horn. So the goods were sent by boat to New York, thence by boat back to New Or leans, and thence on their way, going nearly 10000 miles instead of HOO by the Puerto Barrios route. This inabil- ity to get at the west coast markets has done much to keep American goods out of them. Guatamala has now arranged for the speedy completion of the rail- way from the Caribbean to the capital. and a cheap direct route will thus be opened.

ASPARAGUS HAS A LINEAGE
Romans Held Vegetable in High Es- teem Many Years Before
 Christ

Of all food plants there is none which sessed of SO distinguished lineage as the asparagus. It's records reach back almost to the beginning of authentic his- tory, and it is mentioned by the comic poet Cratinus, who died about 425 B. c. The Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote a work which is still extant, "De re Rustica." {" and 1t treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, in his natural history, written about 60 A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes: "Of all the products of your garden your chief care should be aspafagus," and he devotes several chapters to its many good qualities and the best methods of raising it. He as- serts that the soil about Ravenna was % favorable to its production that three heads grown in that district had been known to weigh . Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to Il ounces in our day, 90 it would ap- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached a pound of our weight. The asparagus being essentially | southern plant, 1t is possible that the stock growing in Italy was of . more vigorous growth than that of our north ern cline. It is found all around the shores of the Mediterranean and branches of into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

MILE-A-MlNUTE WATER RIDE
Motor Boat Invented by Frenchman Goes at Express Train
 Speed.

Among the many interesting experi- ments with motor boats. says the Lon don Mail. perhaps the most pictur- esQue were those on the Seine at Puteaux, when Compte de Lambert. in conjunction with Messrs. De Dion and Bouton, brought out their bateau glisser, or gliding boat It is also called hydroplane. and that name is really indicative of its construction.
 With De Dion 14-horse power mo- tor, the count attained a speed of 2S kilometers an hour in his first ex- periments, and now he has added to that speed and has made 32 kilome- ters, or 20 miles, in the hour.
 The inventor of this hydroplane is not, however, content with this. and will try in 8 day or two to raise tho speed to 3H or even 40 kilometers, or % miles an hour. or a speed that Is not exceeded by the use of . 40-horse power motor.
 The boat itself Is 36 feet long and nine feet wide. To the bottom of the boat are affixed five planes or fns When the boat is stationary these fins hang vertically in the water. They are hinged, however, and are all under control of the driver. When the mo- tor is set in motion and the boat begins to move these planes, begin ming at the bow, are gradually given 8 backward angle. The boat rises in the water and then gradually rests upon it, with the stern of the boat only immersed. The speed increases. and the boat, following the inclination of the planes, glides along the surface of tho water just as an aeroplane glides on the air. and with not much more resistance.
 It. is confidently expected that with an increased horsepower motor the hydroplane will reach a speed of 60 miles an hour. .f%

NELSON NOT FOR HOCH
Former State Superintendent Is
Enthusiastic for Bailey.

Mcpherson, Kan, Jan. 27.-Ex-State
Superintendent Frank Nelson is enthus-
iastic in his support of Governor Bailey
and denies the statement made by the
Kansas City Journal and Topeka Cap
ital that all the Swedes are for Hoch.
The leader of the Hoch movement in
this county is Farmer Smith, who
it is understood is to be appointed ad-
jutant general in case Mr.. Hoch is
elected.
The boss busters are making a des-
perate effort to carry this county for
Hoch and are attempting to stampede
the Republicans by the aid of the de-
feat of Bailey in Reno county. The
Topeka politicians who are at the bot
tom of the movement fail to under
stand that the people of Mcpherson
county realize that the Instruction in
Reno county was led by Carr w.
Taylor, the ex-county attorney of that
county, who was against Bailey be-
cause the governor refused to appoint
him judge of this district in the place
of Judge NJ. P. Simpson of this city.
The governor stood by Mcpherson
county and Judge Simpson and Nc
Pherson county Republicans will now
stand by Governor Bailey.

down the corridor Of the state house

justice of the supreme court be left va

county. Mcpherson county will not be

who would have Supplanted Judge
Simpson, nor John D. Milliken, who
would have maintained a Populist on
the supreme bench of the state. And

cans will not stand for any movement
that has for its ultimate object the
reinstatement of the Burton machine
in state politics.

LOSES OLD CLAIM FOR ICE.
Bill Pressed Since the Wsr Is Turned
Down at Washington.

Washington. Jan. 27.-The claim of
Joseph w. Parish, formerly of Peoria.
III, but now of this city. against the
United States government has been
turned down by the comptroller of the
treasury The claim grew out of
large quantity of ice which Parish fur
nished the medical department of the
army under a contract dated March ).
1868. Parish said that much of the ice
which he had bought from subcontract-
ors was allowed to melt at Cairo. ILL.,
and that the government refused to
pay him for it.
In order to press his claim to better
advantage Parish moved to Washing
ton twenty or more years ago. His
efforts on behalf of the claim have been
persistent since then. bills being intro
duced for its liquidation every congress.
He interested various persons in the
matter, it being charged that H. H.
Rand, formerly confidential clerk to
Postmaster General Payne was one of
those who lobbied for the claim.
1t was not until last year. however.
that congress took any action upon the
claim, when the comptroller of the
treasury was authorized to examine the
matter and pay Parish whatever
amount he found due The auditor for
the war department had previously
found a balance of s1S1, 1858 due the
claimant, but the comptroller's decision
reversing that finding closes the case.

The harrington Well Near Cherryvale
Grows Better Daily.

Cherryvale, Kan, Jan. 27.-Hundreds of
CherryVale people have visited the Far
rington oil well since it was shot Satur-
day afternoon and all pronounce it one of
the best going.
The well is claimed to be one of the
largest oil wells in the. Kansas oil field
and is situated three and one-fourth miles
east and south of Cherryvale on the
southeast corner of a 160 acre tract of
land known as the Butler farm, now own
ed by J. c. harrington and others. Hen
ming & Co. commenced drilling this well
the 9Th OF January and brought the well
in the sd at a depth of 40 feet, striking
gas at 652 feet, reaching the top of the
sand at a distance of GAS feet finally
reaching the oil sand at a depth of SOS
feet, and stopped drilling after going
through % feet of oil John Davis of the
Western Torpedo Co shot the well Sat
urday afternoon and since that time the
Well has been producing oil faster than
any Wen in the state. A gauger for the
Standard company tested the oil today
and pronounced it 30.2 proof which is
two points above that required by the
Standard Oil company. The company
owning this well will commence drilling
another well at once.

A $4,000 Suit Dismissed.

EmpOria, Jan. 27.-In the district
court here a motion was filed to dis
miss the case brought by Mrs. Sadie
White of 1909 Exchange street, against
the Santa F'e for $4,000 personal dam
age. Mrs. White it is remembered was
in the Santa Fe wreck near Fowler
Colo, last November and sustained
severe injuries. Recently in Colorado
a tramp was found guilty of wrecking
the train and was sentenced to life in
the penitentiary for the deed. The
tramp it is claimed was found asleep
near the scene of the wreck. This con-
viction is evidence that the railroad
was not to blame for the wreck be-
cause the tramp removed the spikes
of the rail that wrecked the train. Be
cause the railroad cannot be held for
damages the case brought by Mrs.
White was dismissed.
