INTELLIGENCE of THE BEE.


Maurice Maeterlinck. in Harper's.
1t would be easy without appealing to
any prehistoric event to bring to-
gether a large number Of facts that
would show that the faculty of adap-
tation and intelligent progress is not
reserved exclusively for the human
race
Transported to Australia or Cali
fornia, our black bee completely alters
her habits. After one or two years,
finding that summer Is perpetual and
flowers forever abundant, she will live
from day to day, content to gather the
honey and pollen Indispensable for the
days consumption. and her recent and
thoughtful observation triumphfng
over hereditary experience she will
cease to make provision for her Win
ter. Buchner mentions an analogous
fact. which also proves the bees adap-
tation to circumstances, not slow, sec
ular, unconscious and fatal but I'M
mediate and intelligent; In Barbados
the bees, whose hives are in the midst
of the refineries, 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 entomologists, Kirby and
Spence:
SHOW u.s." said these, "a single case
in which under the stress of circum-
stances 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. hav-
ing coated the bark of certain trees
with sort of cement made of wax
and turpentihe, observed that his bees
entirely ceased to gather propolis and
only this new and unknown substance, |
which they found prepared for them
In abundance 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 a few pinches of -four for |
them to understand at once that this |
can serve the same purpose and be
turned to the same use as the dust of |
the anthers, although its taste, smell |
and color are absolutely different.

radius of 1000 miles. During the earth
quake which wrecked Port Royal in
1892, not long after the British took
possession Of the island, a portion of
the town, which Is situated at the
western end of an eight-miIe sandpit,
sank into the sea. A similar depression,
though less extensive took place at
Port Royal during the recent earth
quake. The classmates of the British
shore batteries were brought down to
the waters edge, rendering them use
less. AS a result OF this land drop.
cocoanut trees that formerly graced
green fields are now to be seen for
lorrly waving their plumes over the
water hundred yards off shore.
The nigh altitude Of Kingston, which
stands on Liguinea plain. fortunately
tends to make 1t somewhat earthquake
proof Professor Brown reports that
the greatest disturbance at Kingston
was off shore or along the shore line.
The plain served to dispense the seis-
mic waves, and consequently the low
lands felt the effects in longitudinal
direction. Some small assures were
found along the harbor front of the
capital However, high attitudes are
not always safety resorts. for the bar
racks formerly occupied by the British
troops at Newcastle, 1900 feet up in
the hills. suffered considerable dam
age, and landslides, elected from the
hill slopes. played havoc with the fa-
nous road running from Kingston to
Newcastle. This road, which as re-
markablo for its rare construction as
we'll as for it's wonderful scenery In
some places was swept away alto
gether and in other places 1t was
turned into q dump heap.
A curious record Of the earthquake
effects at Kingston was the stopping
of the clock of the English parish
church at the moment the first shock
was felt. The steeple toppled over part
way, and In that position remained for
some time, the object Of much curios-
ity and k.dsk swapping with the
hands of the clock pointing significant
ly to 4:33.
While the Brown expedition was on
the island several slight shocks were
felt. AS late as February 23 was felt
the most severe shock since the big
one of January IA. Professor Browns
explanation Of these occurrences is
that the lateral adjustment Of the
earth's crust following the strain
caueed by the big earthquake was not
complete.

The Evening News shows that a
large number Of the men who have
gained political preferment in Nebras-
ka secured a part Of their training in
public affairs in the legislature. Strik-
ing as this showing is, in the future
even moro of the state officers, con-
gressmen and senator's are likely to
be taken from the floor of the senate
and the house. Men will need a good
deal of advertising under the direct
primary system Of making nomina-
tions and no easier way can be found
for really strong men to gain state
recognition than to serve a few terms
in the laWmaking body Under the old
system ambitious men snuggled up to
Mr Holdrege and asked him to give
them boost into office. The new plan
viii be to win promotion by doing
something in the public service, and
the legislature is the natural place to
begin.

The return of Charles Klein 81 great
play, 1.-THE Lion and the Mouse, when
takes place at the Opera house tonlsht.
is hailed with delight by theatrical
patrons, for it will be remembered that
the performance of this great play
given here a year ago created an ever
lasting sensation. Mr.. H. Z. Harris
will, on this occasion, present an excel
lent company and production fully
equal to the one originally presented
here.
1.-THE Lion and the Mouse" Is an
American play essentially and conspic-
uously such and based upon 4 theme
which has not been before exploited
dramatically. 1t deals directly with a
subject which at the present moment is
very much in the public mind-the cor
ruption of politics and legislation by
the power of combined money-maKln2
organizations and the dominance of un-
scrupulouS kings of finance.
To Charles Klein, who wrote the play
and Henry r. Harris. who had the
foresight to appreciate the tiineliness OF
1t, is due credit for undoubtedly one OF
the best dramas that has been seen In
America In many years. The announce
ment OF the production here IS causing
much comment. Prices. Soc, 75c., $l.Oc
