NEW USE FOR BEES.

A very curious and interesting inves- tigation has been going on for some time past among naturalist with re- gard to the senses of the lower animals It has been found that in most cases these are very different from ours, and it cannot any longer be denied that in- stances occur in which special senses that are not possessed by human be- ing are developed in animals. One of these, called the sense of direction" enables bses to return from long dis tances to their hives, unaided by any of the five different ways we have of recognizing out surroundings.
 To test this matter thoroughly, the fertile honey-makers have been taken considerable distances from their hives to localities which it was certain that they had never before visited; yet when set frse they flew as unhesitat- ingly, as directly and as unerringly home as from places perfectly known to them.
 few years ago it occurred to a Well-known bee-keeper 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 homewardf or not, he set to work to test their ability to carry mes sages as do homing pigeons. He accord ing procured a few bead from a friend who lived on the further side of a bar ren, sandy tract of land which, offer ing no Inducements in the way of pos sible food supplies, was never visited by the Insects, and crossed over to his own home. Going to his garden with his children, he touched certain tiny packages, prpared for the occasion. with bird lime. Upon these were writ ten, in minute handwriting, certain sag5s from his two little girls. The packages consisted of the thinnest pa- per fastened with the thinnest of thread, and done up in the smallest parcels possible.
 Releasing the bets one by one from the pastboard box in which they had been imprisoned, he fastened with q train hand each of the little packages to the back of the 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 in- credibly short space of time with the packages secure upon their backs.- August St. Nicholas.

deep snows of the mountains, browsing from the buds of birch and baking as- pen A thaw. followed by severe cold weather, makes a heavy crst that proves the ndOing of the emaciated elk. Their progress becomes so difficult as to prevent the animal from obtaining sufficient food.
 Tt is often incorrectly stated that elk browse on sheaves Of pine and frs. If this were the case they would never starYe, for their range abounds in cOni- ters. Very few elk are pulled down by wolves, cougars or other wild animals; in fact, they remain in the mountain tl- titudes long after the deep snOws have driven these hungry marauders away, and the spring thaws reveal untouched carcasses of starved elk.
 Elk are far and free travellers. They have not that. strong love of local ity which characterizes most members or the deer tribe, and when they once get under way they swing over the toughest ground and through dense for ests of pine, up steep mountains cov- cred with fairly impenetrahle brush and windfalls at almost the pace of a locomotive. The big herd in Jackson's S Hole is a considerable source of in come to the residents of that country, and as such it is as carefully guarded as is possible in so wild and rough a region.
 In their mental equipment elk are lick cattle, caribou and reindeer. They do not aossess the instinctive cunning of most members of the deer tribe. One will sometimes see a band laboriously paving the snow for pasture in some deep civered valley, while the summits and hogbacks have been blown clear by the wind. Deer, horses and even sheep exhibit a keener reasoning in this re- spect. Only cratic methods of travel and habits of migration, together with their tendency to retreat as far as pos sible from the outDosts of civilization, have made the existence of a large band possible until now."-Washinglo Star.

REAL HELP.

H. Rider Haggard, who was sent out by Great Britain to investigate the Sal vation Army colonies of the United States, seems to have been entirely sat- isfied with what he saw, especially at the Fort Amity settlement in Colorado. He has recommended to the home gov ernment plan to have Canada turn over 24O,O0O acres of land to the Sal vation Army, to have a colony similar to that of Fort Amity established to re- lieve the congestion of the cities of Great Britain by sending men who are physically suitable to new homes in new lands. MT. Haggard says that colonies of this kind, while they have to be aided at first by having the government assume the expense of sending these people to the new farms, will, in the end, be self-supporting, and he bases his opinion upon his investigation into the conditions at Fort Amity, where 275 inhabitants have 1,76O acres we'll devel- oped
 If these colonies continue to work well, there will soon be no need of any real poverty in the world. Perhaps there has been no need of it for a long time.

4 DEFECT TO REMEDY.

It appears that there are smarter or, at least, more efficient salesmen in the world than United States drummers. Special Agent Lincoln Hutchinson writes from Rio de Janeiro that the American drummers in Brazil are, as a class, markedly inferior to their rivals from Europe. The German drummers are the best, he says, being often fine linguists who speak Portuguese, French and English as glibly as German, and experts in the lines of goods which they handle. q met recently" says the spe- cial agent, "a German commercial traveller who has for years been selling cotton textiles in South America. In addition to his perfect familiarity with five or six languages and his long eX- perience as traveller, he had had a thorough training at home in one of the great technical schools for spinning and weaving. I am credibly informed that men of this class sent out by German firms are paid the equivalent of $500 per month, plus a commission of per cent. on their sales, and are allowed travelling expenses without specific lim- it. It unfortunately seems to be the rule that American exporters are un- willing to incur so great expense as this. They send cheaper men and get inferior service.'
 This wont do. We make the best goods and we should have the best salesmen,

LARGEST HERD OF WILD AM.
 MAILS.
The Wyoming Bank of Elk Numbers
 Thirty-two Thousand

The Wyoming Bank of Elk Numbers
 Thirty-two Thousand.
 ''Tfle largest herd of wild animals in the United States, and probably in the world, is the great band of elk which winters in the lowlands of Jackson's Hole district, Wyoming" said D. G. Robinson, of the Western State to a Star man at the Raleigh. "There are estimated to be some thirty-two thou sand head of elk in the band. The men who have given this estimate are we'll known ranchers and cattle men or cowboys and owners of sheep and stock ranges. Their Cgtimate comes pretty close to being a correct one. During the severe winters in Wyoming, when the elk, driven by the bitter cold and heavy snows, approach almost to their very doors, they have unusual opportu- mites for observing this great herd of magnificent animal.
 "All the elk in JacksOn's Hole dis trict are carefully protected by the scattered residents of the country At present the herd is under the constant surveillance of two deputy game war dens, who carefully watch the band when any portion of it strays into the district over which they have authori- ty. In the summer time the herd is widely scattered over an extent of country the radius of which is more than five hundred miles, embracing a territory of virginal beauty and prime val grandeur.
 "Of those elk which enter Colorado, a large percentage is killed, while the few which stray into Utah fall at the hands of the Ute Indians. The elk which wander too far from the home are not killed in the summer, but in the late fall.
 By far the larger portion of the herd which is guarded in the winter in Jackson's Hole passes the summer in the timbered heights in Tteon, Gros Ventre and ShOshone Mountains, the Big Horn Basin, the Yellowstone Ma tional Park, and even in the free range near the settlement of Jackson itself. One gentleman recently counted a herd of eight hundred elk within two and a half miles of Jackson.
 Within the last five years the elk have decreased eighteen hundred in number. This alarming decrease is due as much to the restriction of their natural range as to the effects of sportsmen, Indians or commercial hunters, who, it is often alleged, have pursued the herd in order to obtain the much prized elks teeth for a certain fraternity. In severe winter weather a great number of elk perish from star vation. Rather than venture to the lower pastures they flonder through the

The London Globe thus speaks con- cerning what is read at the British Mu- scum: In the reading room of the Brit ish Museum the desks are crowded with students all day long, and in addi- tion to the books of reference, some twenty thousand in number, which fill the open shelves of the room, from three to four thousand volumes are given out every day. Theology in a wide sense, including the Bible, Bibli-
 cal literature, church history and works on the religious rites and ceremonies of all races and creeds, is easily at the head of the list with about 300 volumes. Topography comes next, with about twenty fewer, and of these books on London amount to a quarter books on English topography to another quar-

JUST 4 LITTLE MORE TBoUB1E

JUST 4 LITTLE MORE TROUBLE.
 Everybody in Russia seems to be dis contented, from the Czar down. In a petition recently addressed to the Com mittee of Ministers it is pointed out that the unhappy social, political and economic condition in which millions of Mahomedans in the Caucasus find themselves demonstrates clearly that during the last century the fertile soil of the Caucasus has not been utilized to the full, but that, on the contrary, every effort has been made to retard by artificial means the prosperity of the region and to prevent the mental de- velOpment and material welfare of it's inhabitants" Like the Armsnians, the Mahomedans complain of their exclu- sion from local self-government, of the persecution to which their religion is subjected, of the total absence of any organs of public opinion-the only Rus so-Tartar newspaper is the Perevod- chik, which is published in Bakhchis- arai and censored in Simferopol-and of the determined efforts made to deprive them of their land and to give it to Russian immigrants. Both Mahome- dans and Armenians are in favor of the introduction of local salf-government and the concession of political rights, their demands being similar to those formulated by the Russian Constitu- tionalists, with the addition of such privileges as are at present withheld from them on the ground that they are foreigners" Neither in the Mahome- dan petition referred to nor in similar petition drawn recently at Tihis by representatives of the Armenian popu- lation' for submission to the Viceroy was there any allusion to feuds with the oth;r native populations of the Cau- casus.
 If the Czar can get Japan satisfied and then make peace with his own subjects he will deserve more credit than he has been getting.

There is always more or less rivalry among coal dealers over contracts for supplying fuel for the navy. Purchases in that line under contract, however, have hitherto been confined almost en- tirely to soft coal. Lately an impress sion has gone abroad that the navy would abandon the use of soft coal and would use hard coal instead. Dealers in the latter class of fuel have recently written or called at the department for the purpose of getting their coal accept ed. It has required considerable corre- spondence on the part of the officials of the Bureau of Navigation to convince thsse 4enterprising dealers that their material has not yet been adopted. The situation has grown out of some exper- iments the Navy department is under- taking with hard coal as fuel for na- val vessels, and material of that sort is being purchased accordingly only in the most limited quantities for the purpose of the test.

THE WONDERS OF THE STEINER
 TONE pIANOFORTE


 Whenever there is a great con- cert, the performer upon the piano. forte looks for the best instrument that can be obtained, so as to do justice to his noble art. It is in this connection that we call the at- tentton of the public to Mir. August Fraemcke's playing of the tremen- douS and difficult LisZt Hungarian tantasie, with full orchestral ac- compartment which took place at the Schiller performance a week ago at the New Haven Opera, house before large audience. The piano used upon that occasion was again a SteinertOne concert grand, be- cause MT. Fraemcke has often play ed that special make in his public concerts in New York and Brook lyn, and he desired to again avail himself of the tremendous tonal powers of the SteinertOne piano. His success was instantaneous, and when the people left the hall they carried with them to their homes the sweet and delightful music evoked from the SteinertOne grand. No better proof as to the superior ity of one piano over another can be obtained than when that piano is heard in large hall with an orr chestra of fifty men, and it still keeps up its characteristics as pianoforte.
 The Steinertone Company recom- mends its instruments to the pur- chasing public as the very best on the market. A further demonstra- tion of the foregoing claims by the manufacturers is the invitation which is cordially extended to all, buyers or not, to examine and play these instruments at the factory, if accepted. There they can be seen and hard under unpretentious con ditions in the warerooms, where the assurance is given that these instruments can be obtained at very reasonable factory prices.

The French minister of public instruc- tion set him the task of deciphering Assyrian script, which he solved with the cooperation of Rawlinson and Hincks. On his return he was appoint ed professor of sanscrit at the Biblio- theque Rationale, and two years later he became professor the College de France. He spends his summers usu- ally at Carlsbad. He is still hard at work on Oriental problems, his mind being as clear as ever.
