loose circle round the kopje. Daylight

through our circle. for we only mustered
seven guns. but as we neared the top of
the kopje I could tell by the noises all
about me that some execution was being

COOKING FISH IN CLAY.
Culinary Methods Up in the North
Woods.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
1.-THE natives Of the North Woods have
more appetizng ways to cook fish than
any other class Of cooks in the world. u
believe" said Leonard kehoe of Torlah.
1T surprises people who come into the
fishing country to learn that there are SO
many ways of cooking fish. The universal
favorite. however seems to be the clay
method.
This is SO simple that 1t Is nearly al
ways used when the cook can secure some
good, firm clay. The fish is wrapped in the
clay without having so much as a scale
ruff1ed by the cleaning knife. He is not
dressed, and the only seasoning is a pinch
of salt, placed in the mouth. When the
fish is done up in the clay the package Is
placed in the embers of the camp fire to
bake. When it Is done the clay is cracked
open. and the scales of the fish are found
to be sticking in the clay, and the head is
then broken of. The delicate flavor OF
fish cooked in this way cannot be de-
scrbed Some of the cooks have a habit of
cutting long cash along each side of the
dorsal fin and inserting slice Of fat bacon.
This adds greatly to the flavor of the flesh.
Another thing which makes the fish SO
fine in the woods Is that they are gener-
ally cooked In short time after coming
out of the water. The cold streams keep
the flesh firm and hard. making them far
superior to the fish one gets in the cities"

BEEs AS MESSENGERS.
Experiments Showing How The1r
Sense of Direction May Be Utilized.

From st. Nlcholas
A yarv curious and interesting investiga-
ton has been going on for some .iihe p"s'
or,ong naturalists with regard to the senses
NJ the lower animals. 1t. has been 1ouho
that in most cases these are very oiner-
~, s-on, ours and it cannot any longer be
denied that instances occur in which spe-
c,,l senses that are possessed by human
beings are developed in animals. one oi
these called 1.-The sense OF direction,
enables bees to return from long DISTANCES
To their hives unaded by any OF the nVe
dJeearent ways we have of recognizing our
surroundings To test this matter thor-
oughly, the fertile honey makers nave peen
taken considerable distances from their
hives TO localities which ii was certain tnat
thew had never before visited yet when
set free they few unhesitatngly. as di-
rectly and as unerringly home as from
places perfectly known to them.
A few years ago it occurred to we'll
known beekeeper that this remarkable abil-
tty on the part of bees might be made USE
full Convincing himself that he could rely
upon their speedy return from anywhere
within the range OF three Or foGr 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 messages, as do NOM
ing pigeons. He accordingly procured
few bees from d friend who lived on the
further side of a barren, sandy tract or
land, which, offering no inducements In the
way OF possible 1oou 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, prepared for
the occasion. with bird lime. Upon these
were written. in minute handwriting, GER
tain messages from his two little girls.
The package consisted of the thinnest paper
fastened with the thinnest of thread and
done up in tine smallest parcels possible.
Releasing the bees, one by one, from the
paSteboard box in which they had been
Imprisoned, he fastened with a 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 incred-
IDLY short space of time with their pack
ages secure upon their backs.
