and pitying the toiers of the downtown
| marts.
To understand the elementary aspects
| of the dream one needs but to know
that the tunnel company's facilities are
| ample to take care of the equivalent of
every pound of street tonnage in the
| contested district today and probably
for generations to come. John r. Wal
lace made careful study of the tunnel
system. and he estimated It's traffic
capacity at 340,0 900 tons daily. This Is
nearly three times the amount of the
daily surface traffic at present.
Take this enormous teaming business
from the surface of the street to
| underground avenues of commerce and
| the physical and moral betterment of
| the people will follow inevitably. With
the great bulk of it's 10000 teams and
| heavy wagons dispensed with, the prob
| lem of making a cleaner, more health
| full and more beautiful business mart
will be simplified.
Every business street will be trans
| formed into a boulevard. Noise will be
| reduced to a minimum. Wagons OF
| heavy draught will seem as much out
of place as a Bowery urchin In Upper
Fifth avenue. Pedestrians will cross
| the streets without taking their lives
| in their hands Torn up streets will
rarely assail the eyes when many of
the public utility equipments are hid
den in the subway. Riots and block
AIDES and bloodshed like those that
featured the stockyards and teamsters
strikes, will be impossible
To see Alright the broader vstas of
the dream one should know that the
tunnel company has a franchise right
to extend it's bores under every street
within the city limits. Instead of forty
miles it expects some day to have a
hundred miles of tunnel, extending
from Seventy-frst street on the south
to Fullerton avenue on the north, a
distance of eleven miles. Unlimited
ramif1cations may then be made, as the
exigencies of business shall demand,
1t is in contemplation of this ulti-
mate magnitude of the project that the
sociologist finds his keenest pleasure.
When the tunnel promoters asked for
their franchise they agreed to furnish
free of charge and haul millions of
square yards of dirt needed to fill in
large area of the lake for new park.
This plat, to be known as Grant park,
! is now in process of naturalization

in America to his name. Though he
rides his horses to death, he does not
find the pace sufficiently hot, however,
and against his fathers express wishes
he has announced his intention Of buy
ing a powerful motor car.
He has contracted bogus secret mar
riage with beautiful girl, the daugh-
ter of a general, three of the friends
OF the prince masquerading as priests
and witnesses.
His recent assault on the convent
of the Blessed Trinity outside Belgrade
proved that the crown prince was lost
to all sense of decency and shame, and
that his offenses are quite outside the
catalogue of the forgivable.
With three companions he drove from
the Cafe de Paris in the small hours of
the morning, battered in the convent
wicket gate, ran a sword through the
body Of the faithful watchdog and
then as they started on a tour of the
cloisters they were suddenly confronted
by the mother superior
Then they seemed to have been
brought to their senses. but they got
no farther, But this sacrilege raised
the greatest Indignation among the In
tensely religious people of Servia, and
the insult will not soon be forgotten
or forgiven. The convent has since been
reconsecrated by the Metropolitan.
The prince has been turned outside
the doors of the principal music hail
of Belgrade for finging champagne
bottles at the leader OF the orchestra
and for mounting the stage and pub
licly making love to Mime. Beyla, fav-
orite performer of the Servian capital.
If it is true that every country has
rs good a government as it deserves,
SerVia cannot be deserving OF a very
good government And Prince George,
If he ever ascends to the throne, will
make the Servians regret even King
Milan. The superstitious says that h6
is the scourge sent by Providence to
avenge the assassination of Alexander
and Draga.
The people of Belgrade are already
talking of presenting petition to King
Peter urging him to arrange the sue
cession so that there will not be Il pos
sibility of the crown prince succeeding
him after his death.

but it's hoofs injured the back of one
Of the beasts.
But 1t is not mere youthful spirits
which have stirred the resentment of
the Servians. Harum- -scarum youth
always has its admirers. Prince Hal
was loved by more than Falstaff and if
mere irresponsibility were the sum
total of the offenses of Prince George
the streets of Belgrade would probably
be filled today with his shouting ad-
mirerS.
The crown prince is fairly tall, we'll
built and has rather a handsome face.
He spent his younger days in the Car
Alexander's military school for cadets
in st. Petersburg, living under the eye
Of his aunt, the Princess Anastase
But neither the strict regime of this
military school, the supervision of the
cZar himself, nor that of his aunt has
any effect in teaching him self-disci-
pline.
| When, some time ago, King Peter in
structed Maj. Levasseur to take charge
of his son as tutor, he said to the
major:
1.-The education of my son is confined
to you. You must first make a man of
him, then a good soldier and finally a
king. Rely at all times upon my
assistance"
Maj. Levasseur has failed, and so has
King Peter, for that matter But the
! double failure has not been because
the king has not backed up his servant
In accordance with his promise. for one
occasion, at any rate, has been recorded
when the king thrashed his son with
the universal implement of youthful
correction-a strap. The incident took
place only last year, when King Peter
/ q innnnGn1 nf ha ~
the young prince in driving four times
before the door of singer whom he
admired and causing much amusement
to the staring Belgrade public by his
elaborate bows to the ladys windows.
On the first day of Maj Levasseur's
tutorship, Prince George, in his love OF
! Independence of control led his tutor
/ i'll a reckless ride on horseback through
quagmire and brushwood for many
miles. The Frenchman kept up, and for
| once the prince had to acknowledge
that he was beaten and tired out at his
own game. But he had his revenge
later on when the tutor met with>a bad
accident while attempting a high fence
which the prince had taken, and was
laid up for some time in consequence
of his injuries.
| Last July the major retired from his
tutorship, declaring that he found it a
little too exciting. Just before that
date another mad gallop ended in the
tutor falling from his horse and again
injuring himself. This escapade was
followed by a fencing bout in which the
prince disabled his tutor; and then,
despite the majors condition, the prince
insisted on the fight being continued
the following day, the tutor handed in
| his resignation to King Peter,
He has already intimated his inten-
tion of starting a racing stable. His
royal father is still holding the purse
strings with a firm hand, but the youth
full lover of sports has announced that
if he is not allowed the funds he will
lend his name to any stable in Europe,
and even in Great Britain, and if that
! will not do he will have horses raced

THE department of agriculture is
setting up in rivalry of Luther
\ Burbank. 1t is promoting the
culture of a stingless bee. This is
bee which will not sting except under
the most oppressive provocation. In
addition to this trait of gentleness the
bee Is a hard worker and big pro-
ducer of honey. The department has
distributed a number of queens, but the
supply has become exhausted and no
more are to be obtained till perhaps
next summer.
This bee, which is new to America,
is native of the Caucasus mountains
and is therefore called by bee experts
in this country the Caucasian bee.
The department secured few queens
last year and has raised large num-
ber of bee colonies, but the queens
have been distributed to experiment
stations and to leading bee culturists
throughout the country. The depart
ment retains several colonies in its
grounds in Washington and has big
group of hives, locally known as the
bee corner"
The apiarists of the department han
die these bees with impunity. They lift
the honey trays out of the hives with
out gloves, veil or smoke, brush the
bees off the honey comb with the naked
hand shake the bees, blow on them to
separate the tangled. squirming
masses, scoop them up by the double
handful and treat them more careless
ly than one would house flies.
The economic Importance of this
tame bee to the United States is diff
ficult to calculate. Everybody can
raise honey and these bees never show
any irritation except on cold morn
ing or when other races of bees try to
rob them. The Caucasian bee, though
so unexcitable and gentle toward man,
is a good fighter in defense of the hive
against other bees-a very valuable
quality in a bee.
The bee common throughout the
United States is the black or brown
one, whose ancestors were brought
from Germany in the seventeenth CEN
tury. 1t is Il vicious beast, highly ir-
ritable, a small producer of honey and
does not fight well for the hive. Not
many years ago Italian bees were inn

A youth there was with money to burn,
Even as you and |;
And he burned it up-he never could
even as you and I;
His friends got wise when they smelled
They whispered and called him IAN easy
But they left him the day that he went

Even as you and I.
o the coin we waste and the friends we
And how little we come to know
That the coin we spend and the coin we
Count small in this world of woe!
He plunged in the wild, death dealing
Even as you and 1
And won what he thought was an en-
viable place,
Ere long his money and friends had

And he SUNK from the tinsel and gilt.

where the waters of the lake used to
the ten million dollar museum offered
by Marshall Field, the Crerar library
and possibly other magnificent struc-
lures.
How serious a problem is surface
teaming in Chicago's business district
one understands when he knows that
125,OOO tons of freight are handled daily
in this area, the tribute of 5000 steam
railway freight cars loaded to capacity
limit. At eighteen street intersections
recently thirteen solid miles of teams,
or 3OS1 In number, passed in one hour.
At one crossing 1871 teams passed in
that time and at State and Adams
streets $4,000 pedestrians were counted
going in the four cardinal directions.
The significance of these figures be-
comes the more apparent when it is un-
derstood that in the whole district
there are only thirty-two linear miles
of street and that eighty per cent of
the traffic is crowded into less than
half this mileage-that within the ele-
waited railway loop in Lake street,
Wabash avenue. Van Buren, street and
Fifth avenue. 1t is this surface team
ing and street congestion the tunnels
are intended to obviate.
Tunnel connections are made direct
with the Easements of business houses
and freight goes underground from
depot to stores, being elevated to any
floor desired. When the enterprise is in
full operation coal, garbage, newspa-
pers and other matter will be whirled
along at the rate of ten miles an hour,
an enormous economy of time.
The subway became a thing of ma
tional Importance when the govern
ment made contract with the COM
pany by which the latter is to transfer
two hundred tons of local mail daily
from railway stations to the main post
office and branches and six hundred
tens of outside mail from station to
station. Underground mail cars with
government locks and seals will be
used for this purpose. The work of
transfer will be done in one-third tho
time required by wagons, and mail
wagons will have been banished entire
" from central Chicago in a short time.

train to stand on. These curves may
be used as sidetrac,Ss in emergencies,
thereby averting any stoppage of traffic
on the main lines.
Careful calculation indicates that
ninety per cent of the freightage hauled
or the steam railways may be taken
easily through the tunnels. Some kinds
of farm machinery, very long iron bars
and similar things will hav- to stick to
the surface route.
The tunnels are lighted with elec-
tricity. They are dry and well ven-
tilated. The temperature remains at
65 degrees Fahrenheit the year around.
Here the little trains, each with
capacity of thirty tons of coal or 140
barrels of sugar, fly back and forth
like shuttlecocks with a far-off roar,
the busy messengers of a great city's
commerce.
Thirty thousand tons daily is the
maximum of business expected at the
