A GERMAN COUNT
 COMES TO Ills OWN
The Patience of Years is Finally
 Rewarded.

Count von Melnick, a familiar char acter on the streets of Phoenix for many years past, has at last come into his own, according to all outward signs. Many years ago ne came to this country from Germany and located here for many months being in the em- ploy of the Wormser company. and later in the employ of the Goldman company. On various occasions his actions showed he was used ,o much better in this life tan he was having, but when questioned about his past ne was not a willing talker. All that he would ever tell was that he was born in Germany, that his name was Jacob Melnick and that he was by right a count. About twenty years ago a pass
 ing band of gypsies camped near Phoenix and in making their purchases at the store where Count Won MeInick was employed spied him and on all oc- casiOns during their stay here they would trade with no one else but him. From them it was learned something of the counts past life, most Of which was to the effect that he was a mem Der of a high German family. For the past few years the count has been the manager of the De Witte line of hacks and had grown very careless in his dress; in fact, his appearance was shabby. He was ofted taUnted by his friends about his appearance but his only answer was that the day would come when he would surprise them all and the day has evidently arrived.
 Vest erday the count appeared on the street attired in the best that Phoenix haberdashery affords and on his finger he wore a ring set with a diamond For years he had been an inveterats smoker of a pipe which from its con-
 stant use mad grown vile. But his change in costume included new pipe; in fact everything he usually wears on the street was new. To his friends he offered no explanation fur ther than to remind them that he said the day would come when he would inherit his own. From appearances that is the case, though there have been no reports of the recent sale of any of the castles along the Rhine or of any of the larger German estates.

HIVE IN AN AQUARIUM.
Good Way oz Seeing How the Little
Busy Bee Works.

|
Busy Bee Works.
Everybody is curious to see bees ac-
tually at work. Take rectangular
glass aquarium and place it on win
dow sill, elevated slightly at the side
nearest the window, so that when the
latter Is raised an inch the bees may
pass in and out If desired, the bees
may be kept FOR some time in confne-
ment by raising the aquarium an inch
on blocks and using strip Of wire
screen cloth to prevent the bees from
escaping.
When confined the bees should be fed
q sirup Of equal parts Of sugar and
water, A frame or two Of bees may
be purchased for a trifing sum.
Put within this glass aquarium some
rustic supports to represent projecting
undecayed portions Of the inside OF the
hollow trunk. Keep all covered by an
OPAQUE cloth when not observing what
Is going on within this glass bee home.
Then the bees will be free to work
and to adapt themselves to the enVl-
ronment. They can suit their own
fancy about attaching combs to the
sticks; they may build diagonally or IN
any other form that they may prefer,
and they may attach the comb to sides
or ends just when and where they
think it is necessary.
In the artificial hives the combs are
attached only at the edges, but IN nat
ural conditions within the bee tree or
in it's counterpart, as represented by
the old fashioned box hive with Opaque
sides and in our transparent Inverted
aquarium, Tie bees can build combs
and attach them in any way that they
see fit.
| One Of the most interesting objects
for study Is to note when the bees
think it necessary to put out side
support from a long comb. They seem
to believe that they are really within
a hollow tree and that it is likely to be
swayed by the gales. OF course when
so swayed long combs laden with
honey or with young bees would be
too much for the unyielding rigidity OF
the upper part Of the combs. These. if
hey have no side stays, would bend
crack and be crashed against each
other.
The bees have learned this and give
the combs e fine support whenever ii
is necessary. They do this, it is true to
certain extent, in the regular eight
or ten frame hive, but not with the
naturalness with which they do 1t In
large, unobstructed space.
Not long ago veteran beekeeper
took a colony Of bees from an attic
where they had been for many years
"Well," said he, "you should have
seen the funny forms Of those combs
most interesting thing ever saw
There was one pillar almost round-a
solid center right and several feet long
and these combs around that; the
most fantastic shape you ever saw
