lost his temper and said, 81 suppose

President Roosevelt to Dictate
Party Platform

A dispatch from Washington,
discussing the political situation
says:
Already political Washington is
discussing, not only presidential
candidates of next year, but also
presidential platforms. 1t is con-
coded that, whoever may be the
probable Republican candidate
when the convention convenes, the
platform will be dictated by
President Roosevelt and his
friends. This, it is pointed OUT, is
lnly neutral, as the campaign will
be won or lost by the Republi, an
party On the record Mr.. Roosevelt
Is making. The salient policies CT
he president will stand out in the
platform like u felon on thumb.
They will include strong plunks on
the regulation of trusts and cor
poratlons the construction of the
Panama caual; the management IF
our foreign possessions; the con
troll of the public domain; the
work accomplished by the Rerub-
lican congress, and the re-adJust-
ment OF the tariff.
Just what direction the tariff
plank will take is yet matter cf
discussion arc it is unlikely that
a declsion will be reached until
about the time the convention
n eets. Revisionists will make a
fight for a declaration
in favor of an immediate and
radical change in tire tariff sched-
ules and it is intimated that they
will have the support Of the rresi.
dent in their efforts. The 'tand
patters have been losing grourd,lt
is maintained by conservative Re-
publicans, and it is expected the
:onver ton will be forced to make |
, distinct declaration of intention |
ls to readjustment OF the tariff.
It is suggested in influential Re.
publican quarters that the fret
gun in the contest for tariff read
ustment will be fred by the presi
lent himself, and that it probably
will be a recommendation in his
lext annual message to the con-
,ress. If that accommodation
hould net be followed by congress
ional action, then the fight will

INSECT WISDOM.
The Wonderful RatloeInsry Power Of
the Busy Bees.

| tns Busy hcee.
1t would be easy without appeal.
Ing to any prehistoric event to bring
together a large number of facts
that would show that the faculty OF
adaptation and intelligent progress
is not reserved exclusively for the
human race.
Transported to Australia OF Cali
fornia, our black bee completely al
tiers her habits. After one or two
years, finding that summer is per,
petual and flowers forever abundant,
she will live from day to day, con-
tent to gather the honey and pollen
indispensable for the days consump-
ton, and, her recent and thoughtful
observation trinmphing over hered-
itary experience, she will cease to
make provision for her winter,
Buchner mentions an analogous
fact, which also proves the bees
adaptation to circumstances, not
slow, secular, unconscious and fatal,
but immediate and intelligent. In
Barbados the bees whose hives are
in the midst Of the refneries, where
they find sugar in plenty during the
whole year, will entirely abandon
their visits to the flowers.
Let US lastly recall the amusing
contradiction which the bees gave
to two learned English entomolo-
gists, Kirby and Spence.
"Show u.s." said these, "a single
case in which, under stress of cir
cumstances, the bees have had the
idea of substituting clay or mortar
for wax and propolis, and we will
admit their reasoning faculties"
Hardly had they expressed this
somewhat arbitrary wish when an
other naturalist, Andrew Knight,
having coated the bark Of certain
trees with a sort of cement made Of
wax and turpentine, observed that |
his bees entirely ceased to gather
propolis and used only this new and |
unknown substance, which they |
found prepared for them in abnn-
lance in the neighborhood of their
home. Moreover, in the practice of
agriculture, when pollen is scarce,
the beekeeper has but TO place at
their disposal few pinches of -four
for them to understand OF once that
this can serve the same purpose and
be turned to the came use as the
dust Of the anthers, although its
taste, smell and color are absolutely
aifferent.-AIauricc Maeterlinck in

understand why nothing of the
clown ever cropped out in facial or
bodily contortion when he was say

er did, and his perfect poise and
