NEW USE FOR BEES.
Their Sense of Direction May Be Util-
lied by Man.

The very curious and interesting in
vestigation has been going on for
some time past among naturalists with
regard to the sense of the lower ami
mails, writes James b. Carter in st.
Nicholas. 1t has been found that in
most cases these are very different
from ours, and it cannot longer be
denied that instances occur in which
special senses that are not possessed
by human beings are developed in
animals One of these, called 1.-THE
sense of direction" enables bees to
return from long distances to their
hives, unaided by any of the five diff
ferent ways we have of recognizing
our surroundings.
To test this matter thoroughly the
fertile honey makers have been taken
considerable distances from their
hives. to localities which it was GER
| tain that they had never before WIS.,
| tied; yet when set free they flew as
| unhesitatingly, as directly and as I'M
erringly home as from places perfect
| ly known 10 Them.
A few years ago it occurred to a
well-knOwn beekeeper that this re-
markable ability on the part of bees
| might be made useful. Convincing
himself that he could rely upon their
| speedy return from anywhere within
| the range Of three or four miles from
| their hives, whether they had ever
been at the place from which they
started homeward or not, he set to
work to test their ability to carry mes
sages as do homing pigeons. He ac-
cordingly procured a few bees from n
friend who lived on the further side
of a barren, sandy tract Of land,
which, Offering no inducements in the
way of possible food supplies, was
never visited by the insects, and
crossed over to his own home. Going
to his garden with his children, he
pared for the occasion with bird lime.
Upon these were written in minutest
handwriting certain messages from
his two little girls. The packages
consisted Of the thinnest paper fas-
tened with the thinnest thread and
done up In the smallest parcels pos
| Sible.
Releasing the bees, one by one. from
the pasteboard box in which they had
been imprisoned, he fastened with Il
trained hand each of the little packets
to the back Of bee, which he then
allowed to fly away.
Like homing pigeons. they started
off at once across the unfamiliar
desert for their home, arriving there in
an incredibly short space of time with
their packages secure upon their
backs.

democratic party is shown by the TACT
that he again recommends them and
earnestly urges their adoption
The four measures upon which both
parties were agreed during the cam
paign last fall and advocated in the
platforms of the two parties are the
initiative and referendum, a direct
primary nomination law, a railway
commission and fellow servant law.
The republican papers, whose party
has majority in each house, assert
that the republicans in the legislat-
ure will not fail to keep their prom
Uses in regard to these matters; and
the democratic papers that supported
their party in the campaign are urg-
ing that the democratic platform
promises to be kept.
Governor Toole requests the legis-
lature to adopt another joint memor-
ial or resolution, directed to congress,
asking for that long delayed amend
ment to the constitution providing
for the election of United States SEN
ators by the direct vote OF the people.
Though the republican national plat
form last year contained no reference
to this matter, it is we'll for the Mon
tana legislature to keep pounding
away at it, especially as both parties
in this state advocated direct election
of senators.

signing of a capitulation agreement.
Both armies had suspended hostili-
ties five hours earlier. The city of
Port Arthur was occupied by the
Japanese yesterday.
There is an expectation in diplo-
matte circles in ST. Petersburg that
some one of the powers may make a
tender of friendly offices and the in
timation is conveyed that the United
States may take the initiative. Should
that be the case, it could be only on
assurance from both the warning
powers that the tender would be re-
ceived by them in good part.
Some interesting statistics concern
ing the defense of Port Arthur were
brought by the fiotilla of Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers which
carried numerous chests containing
complete records of General Stoessel's s
army.

while 5000 remained in the forts, of
whom, however, 1000 were unable to
fight.
1t is learned that when General
Stoessel wrote to General Nogi re-
garding the surrender of the fortress
he said:
81 have 5000 men in the forts and
5000 of these are able to fight. If
you do not accept my proposal these
men will die fighting, but it will cost
you three times their number to kill
them'
During the siege'65 per cent. of the
garrison were put out of action.
This remarkable fact was due to
wounded men returning to the front.
Cases have been reported where men
have gone to the hospitals seven
times, always returning to the front.
The number of officers killed was
proportionately greater than in any
battle known in history.

taking of the fortress has cost Japan

PORT ARTHUR

Either Ammunition or
Strength.

Port Arthur, whose hills for months
have run red with the blood of the
bravest of two warlike nations, has at
last succumbed to the fierce tenacity
of the japanese attack.
Gen. Stoessel, most stubborn in
carrying out the will of his sovereign,
has seen the advance Of the besieg
ing army gain in momentum and en-
ergy until to hold out longer would
have been a crime against humanity.
Toxic is the scene of rejoicing, peo-
pie of all ranks finding in the outcome
compensation for all the sacrifice of
life and money that was entailed in
the ten months siege.
To what extent the fall of Port
Arthur will make for a restoration of
peace is an open question. There is
an encouraging note in the expression
by Baron Hayashi, Japanese minister
to London, of the ''hope that in some
way it will facilitate final peace"
though the pacific note is perhaps
lost in the later words of the minis
ter, which call attention to the fact
that the besieging army will now be
free to go north, where it will be an

started from Libau for the far east
three months ago, will have to retrace
its way home, as adherence to the

PROHIBITION.

The legislature that passed the
North Dakota prohibition law, must
either have been drunk, or afraid it
might do something TO Shut the
members off from their daily booze.
AS the law now is, it is one OF the
greatest fakes that ever crept into a
statute. The class Of people that an
enforced law would most benefit are
virtually barred from enforcing it.
Before making complaint against
an unlawful seller a S4OO bond is re-
quired, which really shuts out the
poor who need protection the most to
prevent the protiigate spending Of the
earnings needed in poor families,
therefore the very poor have no pro-
lection at all.
The saloons that enacted such d
law must have figured that Gods
poor need nothing in this world ex-
cept continued poverty and the hope
af heaven. Some narrow minned,
Pharisaical philanthropist' has said
that the poor need nothing but re-
ligion and heaven. This doubtless
includes the poor women and children
of North Dakota who suffer because
they cannot put up S40o bond to en-
force the so-called prohibition law.

pay, the sellers might at least dis
criminate some instead Of taking the

world over and conscience is not a
part of the business.
North Dakota has a so-called en-

derelict county officials, but the league
is as seldom heard of in enforcing the
law as are the county commissioners
of the several counties.

A curiosity of the plains is the buffa-
10 wallows. There has not been a
buffalo in them for years, but they are
the same today as they were genera
uons or even centuries ago. They are
no longer frequented by cattle, of
course, and therefore not freshly worn,
but they remain to this day barren and
black amid the vast plain of living
green. In the spring they stand full Of
water until the advancing summer sun
evaporates 1t, and then they are bar
ren and black again. They are perfect
circles. some large as u circus ring, and
their basins are packed firm and hard
by the tread and roll of many genera
tons OF the bison. Another recollec-
ton here Of this extinct race is the
buffalo birds. which abound in great
numbers. Their function now, as in
the time of the bison, is TO pick insects
from the backs of the cattle which
feed on the plains. Sometimes twenty
or more feed on a steers back, while
the steer calmly and with evident
pleasure munches buffalo grass.-Kan-

passed out of existence today when
the Huntsville office was abolished
and its business transferred to the
land office at Montgomery. The of
flee here was established in 1910.
nine years before the admission of
Alabama into the Union. During the
"a years of its existence there were
nearly 10000 homestead entries, ap-
proXimating 100000 acres. besides
many thousand cash purchases of
Cherokee Indian school lands There
are only about $4,000 acres yet to be
entered.
The discontinuance of the office is
due to that provision of the federal
statutes which stipulates that when
the government lands in a land office
district amount to less than 100, 900
acres, the office shall be discontinued.
There now remain in the entire state
of Alabama only about $4,000 acres
of government lands, 100O acres Of
which are in the Montgomery divis-
ion.
