 ef Honey . Season.

There is ! bee ranch with moro thaD 1000. 900 bees in the heart of ono cf the densest residence districts of San F'ran- cisco. It is owned by Philip Prior. prin- cipal Of . public school. and is in the little back yard off kis home For ten years he has kept his bees there. has harvested about third of . ton of honey each season and has been at no expense for food for his interesting and industrious pets. Although tt is dis tance oe 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 got back to the hive in two minutes, making . bullet-like flight at the surprising rate of 160 miles m 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 flour as they issued from hive. He has also kept time on theabsence of the whitened bees.

LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of It's
 Restrictions.

What is it, at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely ? It is, believe, that he feels himself in country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; country where man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected. to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed in most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention. 'good form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society. comments . writer in the North American Review. That unconQuerable huoyancy which infects the American air like a sting and challenge, and braces every Ameri- can with the inspiration that he has a chance in life: that there are open op- portunities. unreser ved possibilities, no battering at locked doors. no ttoun- dering in blank alleys; that here, ID short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing 1t.

CURIOUS WORMS OF NORWAY
They Gather in Great Numbers Form ing . Ssrpent-Like Mass ss
 When Migrating.

The Sciaras, of the genus Tiplux, tiny wormlike creature which is found in the forests of Norway and Hungary dur ing the month of July or early in August, gather in huge numbers preparatory to migrating in search of food or for . change of conditions. When setting out on this journey, says Nature, they stick themselves together by means of some glutinous matter, and form huge ser. pentlike mass, often reaching length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the scaria ia only on an average of about three-thir- ty-seconds of an inch in length, with no appreciable breadth whatever, the num- Der required to form a continuous line of the size above mentioned is incal- culable. t.
 Their pace is, of course, very slow, and upon meeting an obstacle. such as . stick or stone, they either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for the purpose. A celebrated French naturalist says that if the rear portion of this snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours. never seeming to realize that they are getting no further on their journey. If the portions be broken in two the procession will unite In a short time. When the peasant meets one of these processions he will lay some obstacle in front of it. If 1t passes over 1t it is good omen.

|AsPARAoUs HAS X LINEAGE
1omans Held Vegetable in High Es- teem Many Years Before
 Christ.

or all food plants there is none which has been SO long known or been pos- sessed of co distinguished a 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. Tlle Romans held the vegetable in high esteem. The elder Cato wrote work which is still extant, "De re Rustica," :" and it treats at length of the virtues and proper cultivation of asparagus. Pliny, in his natural history. written about SO A. D., has much to say about it. He feelingly observes: "Of all the products of your garden your chief care should be asparagus" and he devotes several chapters to its many good qualities and the best methods of raising 1t. He as- serts that the soil about Ravenna was SO favorable to its production that three heads grown in that district had been known to weigh a Roman pound. This pound seems to have been about equal to Il ounces in our day, so it would ap- parently have taken four of the stalks to have reached a pound of our weight. The asparagus being essentially a southern plant, 1t is possible that the stock growing in Italy was of moro vigorous growth than that of our north ern cline. It Is found all around the shores of the Mediterranean and branches on into four or five distinct species besides the one ordinarily used for edible purposes.

BIC PROFIT IN PENTHOUSE
Average New York Seashore Resort Receives Nearly $2,OOO a Day
 for Rooms Alone.

If you doubt that the nickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay, consider the money-making propensities of the aver age seashore bathhouse around New York, and make over your opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has 1,500 bath compartments. It costs 20 cents to rent one. On a medium hot summer's day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms. for the com- partments are used in the course of the day by about 4.00o persons. Bathing suits rent for 25 cents each. There would be 5000 of them for such a pavil- Ion. which means $1.0O0 day if half of them are rented once: and it is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 1000 bathers pay i've cents for the use of a comb and brush-$1s0. \ total of near ly $2,000, to say nothing Of the proceeds from restaurant. bar. barber shop and Indoor baths.
