Wealth Above and Below.

An illustration OF the diversity OF
upper Michigan's resources came to
notice yesterday at the Hammer farm,
near here. Two different crews
OF men were at work, one exploring
for iron ore for Pickands, Mather Il
Co.. of Cleveland. which recently took
an option on the property. and the 9TH
er engaged In thrashing oats. One
crew was sinking test pit, and the
other was operating steam thrash
ing machine. A similar occurrence was
remarked In Spring Valley. A steam
thrasher was at work on the farm Of
Andrew Youngs, while lust across the

The man is Brig. Gen. j. Franklin Bell.
chief of staff. He was selected for his
present position some months ago
much to his regret. he publicly de-
clares as he had some work he pre-
ferred to do at the Fort Leavenworth
school; and, anyway, he would have
liked it better IL this important place
had been given to him later In his
career. Now, by reason of numerous
changes, he is senior brigadier gen.
eral, and -.ould therefore be the off,
Ger to be- promoted TO the rank OF
major general this week on the re-
tirement of Lieut.. Gen. Corbin. AS
soon as Gen. Bell heard that he was
likely to be promoted, he went direct
to Secretary TAFT and asked as per-
sonal favor that he be overslaughted
by at least two other officers-Gens.
Jesse NJ. Lee and Theodore j. Whit,
both men of much longer service than
himself Naturally, the secretary
could not resist so unselfish an APP
peal, and Gen. Lee, who retires for
age next January, will be promoted
this week to the major generally he
would not otherwise have obtained.
The army has every reason to be
proud of Gen. Bells fine record, re-
marks the New York Post, but 1t will
like him all the more for this readi-
ness to step aside for others.

The BUSY Little Bee.

The commercial statistics bearing
upon the subject eloquently answer
the question: How doth the little
busy bee improve each shining hour?"
She improves them. early and late.
in garnering the sweets of buds and
flowers, and the sum total Of her gar.
nering, it is evident, forms no mean
item in the worlds affairs. Germany
leads with 100000 hives and 10000
tons IF honey last year. Spain is a
good second, with 100000 hives and
10000 tons of honey. Austria-Hun-
gary comes close thereafter with l.
$4,000 hives and $4,000 tons OF un-
adulterated sweetness. France sup
plies 10000 tons, and Russian bees
are credited with 900 tons. The last
prompts the thought that If only po-
litical hornets were honey gatherers.
etc, etc. Despite the lapse of GEN.
turtles the historic honey of Mount
Hymettus," celebrated in Grecian
lore, is still on the market of today
and from 10000 bee hives Greece pro-
duced last year 1,400 tons of honey.
Statistics bearing upon the industry
of our own bees have not yet been
published, says the Troy Times, but
it is gratifying to obtain the advance
information that the bee industry is
growing here and we have as good
"pasturage" for these personifications
of industry as any country known.
