BABU OFFICIALDOM.

An amusing story told of Babu
 officialdOm comes from Aren. An oh-
 cer in charge of a post in the hinter-
 land had, in addition to his military duties, to look after the dispatch of the mails. One day he learned that he had incurred a reprimand at the post office, and that an entry to that effect had been made against his name He treated the mater lightly, and inquired whether the reprimand involved a fine or Imprisonment or both. He was then informed that by this misplaced IeviIy he had incurred a second reprimand. Further inquiry revealed that his or iginal offense lay in sealing the mail bags improperly. He had not been pro- vlded with an official seal, and in lieu thereof he had stamped the wax with q large uniform button. As this gave the impress of the crown and the royal arms, he had no doubt considered it a rather happy makeshift, but the Hindu official at the other end was of a diff ferent opinion, with the dire results above mentioned.-LondOn Truth.

union of twelve bees flying with say age force against the fragile web will at once set a prisoner free; yet, the while, they are indifferent to their comrades trouble. If a young terrier purp ventures within a yard or so of the hive. a dozen bees are on him like a flash, and with unerring judgment, they know his tender spots
 Again, on bright days during the winter they will issue forth. No mat ter if the snow is on the ground and the air is chilly; if only the sun shines they will fly around. I have seen them on these OccasOns fly a few minutes and then drop helplessly on the snow. and after a time. for a space of a few yards around the hive, they lie so thick that the snow is hidden. On these. occasions the bee keeper will often lose from 5O,OOO to 100000 bees. The question may well be asked: Why does the bee not know. have instinct enough to know. that the temperature is lower than he can bear"-Louis Reed, in the Outlook.

AS THEY UNDERSTAND.

Little Edith, five years old, felt jeal- ous resentment when her elder sister became the wife Of an eligible young man and left the parental roof to dwell in another city. Some time after she was taken to visit the bride in her new home, which is a flat in a some what crowded residential section. Here she overheard a conversation about an acquaintance of her sisters who had got a divorce. Her infantiIe mind, grasping the fact that a divorce was something that separated husband and wife, and left the latter free to return to her parents, conceived the idea prompted by grief and anger over the loss of her beloved sister. Sudden ly she spoke up:
 Sister Carrie, why don't you get a divorce? Then you could come home again."
 Why, l have no grounds" mildly replied the sister, amazed and thinking of nothing else to say just then.
 That's so," replied the terrible youngster, thOughtfully, at the same time looking out of a rear window You haven't got any ground at all here; but do you have to have a back yard to get a divorce in n?"-Albany Journal.

HUNT FOR MoNAZITE IN CALL

Consul Walter c. Hamm. at Hull.
 England, thinks that gas companies
 and gas consumers in the United
 will be interested in a statement con-
 corning incandescent gas mantIes. made at a recent meeting of the South
 Metropolitan Gas company of London.
 These mantles, it was stated, are made

 be found in workable quantities in monazite sand. The sand from which the thorium used in Europe was ex- tracted was obtained in Brazil. and was In the hands of two concession aires. They supplied the mOnazite to a number of chemists in Germany, who sold the sand to a group of continent al firms, who worked together and known as the Thorium Convention. was in the hands of four or live firms, and two or three years ago It was sold at $8.36 per kiIo. Later the price was $10.4S. and now it is $13.36 per kilo. There was an absolute mo- nopoly in 1t The directors of the Lon don gas company sent an agent to Brazil to endeavor to obtain a. con cession to export monazfte sand, but without result. Last year another ap- portunity was afforded them of ob- talning the concession. It was known that monazite sand was found in the

"One of the remarkable things in
 the manufacturing jewelry business in recent years is a watch made by a Paris manufacturer after seven years work It records the hour, minute and second of the day, the day, month and year, making the necessary changes for leap years, the phases of the moon. the seasons, solstices. equi- noxes, the time of the rising and set ting of the sun, and the time Of day in 125 different cities of the globe. It has thermometer, hydrometer and bar ometer, and an altimeter which meas the height above the sea level up to 1.5O0 feet It has a compass and a re- beating chronOmeter. and maps of the heavenes showing all the stars to the fourth magnitude in both hemispheres. If man were cast away on a desert isle and had that watch with him. he could keep track of things almost as well as a man in the finest observatory in the world. I don't know at how much that watch is valued. Probably no figure has ever been placed on it. At least it is not for sale but is kept in museum as an object of interest Milwaukee Wisconsin.

 If the claim made in respect to these incandescent mantles is correct. it will be well for manufacturers in America to see that a monopoly for the ma terial from which they are made does not pass to Europe
 MOnazite Is rare mineral, occurring in small brownish red or yellowish brown mOnOclynic crystals. also mas sive with resinous lustre and is found at Norwich, in Connecticut, in North Carolina, among the Urals, and else where. It is a prominent accessory constituent of granite rocks in some localities, and when these rocks have been disintegrated by natural causes, 1t has been obtained by washing the gravels in very large quantities.

THE STUPIDITY OF BEES.

One would conclude, after a survey
 of most that has been written about
 the honey bee, that he is endowed with
 extraordinary knowledge. Little or
 nothing has been said of his ignorance
 or stupidity; but I have come to the
 concluROn, after three years most
 careful study of my bees, that in q
 great many instances they are far less intelligent than the average in sect both in guarding their stores and in protecting themselves. It would be foolish to deny that honey bees show many qualities of a high order of in stinct, but they also show in q. great many instances a remarkable degree of stupidity. Yet for centuries. poets and writers have held them up as paragons of wisdom Maurice Maeterlinck- in his most pOetical description of the nuptial flight of the queen bee and the dramatic death of the favor-fte lover. IS one instance. On the other hand Sir John Lubbock, in his Ants. Bees and Wasps," dismisses the honey bee with little ceremony, finding it infnite- ly less interesting and intelligent than the ant. There is no question that the ant, at every turn, Outwits the bee in It's home by stealing it's hard earned store.
 The ott- repeated praise of the ten der solicitude of the nurse and doctor bees seems in striking contrast with the callOus movement of healthy bees. who pass by their dead or wounded sisters without the slightest notice. but will quickly remove them if work is impeded, taking no end of trouble to pick the body up, fly some distance and then drop it. A single bee may be seen tugging and pulling, the rest | working merrily on, taking no notice | whatever or giving assistance; yet in | the hive comb building every one helps | his neighbOr in building a cell.
