The Invention Of Spinning.

The invention of the art Of spinning
was ascfibed by the ancients to Miner
va. the goddess of wisdom. The date
1900 II. g. Ii given as that OF the be-
ginning OF the art In Greece, under
the direction Of the king Of Arcadia,
but pictured inscriptions on Egyptian
monuments show that the use of the
spindle and dlstaff was known In that
country much earlier. The first dlstaff
was simply stick, around which the
fiber to be spun was loosely coiled,
held In the left hand; the spindle was
a sort Of top set In motion by twirl
Of the hand. the fiber passing between
the finger and thumb Of the right hand
This invention was improved upon in
the course Of time by placing the spin
die in frame and making 1t revolve
by mechanical action Of the hand OF
foot In connection with a wheel OF
treadIe, thus giving the true spinning
wheel The first recorded use of this
was in the early years Of the sixteenth
century, but 1t was probably made and
used long before this. The first spin
ming jenny, machine working eight
spindles, was invented in 1857.

A wild clamor comes from the Phil
ippines for colony Of American bum
bIebees, says a Washington special to
the New York World The Filipino
farmer declares these insects are In
dispensable in his business He wants
to raise red and white clover. and IL
cannot be successfully done without
the bumblebee.
Scientific sharps at the department
OF agriculture assert that the honey
bee and all kinds OF oriental bees have
been carried to the Philippines, bpt all
OF them leave clover alone. Tile scic=
lists explain that these bees hire short
tongues. They are unable TO GVah t'K
honey in the clover blossom. They
realize this inability and pass It by.
The American bumblebee has long
tongue and likes TO dig down in
Juicy clover blossom. As conse-
quence there Is nothing that can make
the clover crop OF the Philippines a
success except the American variety
Of bunblebee
The wall OF distress from the Fill
pino farmer has been needed. The flrst
shipment Of bumblebees will consist OF
800. These viii be carefully selected
with reference to long tongues. The
bureau Of entomology Of the agricul-
tural department is charged with the
duty OF Selling the bunblebees on
their native heath and arranging for
their transportation. Agents Of the
bureau have been IN Ohio and Kansas
buaily chasing bumblebees.

sEEpLEss PEARS.

Discovery Of Pear Tree Which Pro.
dueoa Fruit Without Cores.
A tree OF seedless pears has been
discovered by A. /. Mason on his fruit
ranch near Hood River, Ore, says the
Portland 0regonlan. All attempts so
far to arrive at its variety have prov
ed futile, but authorities ON the sub
ject say that II 1t continues to propa-
gate seedless and coreless pears 1t will
form the nucleus of one OF the most
valuable canning pears known. Being
without cores or seeds, there win be
no waste In putting 1t up, and It's size
and fine quality, combined with the
lateness with which It comes into
bearing, bring 1t in between the sum-
mer and late winter varieties. When
ripe It Is said by Mr., Mason to be Of
amer quality than the Bartlett and q
much better fruit for all around pur-
poses.
Tho owner OF the new discovery ac-
counts for not knowing its variety by
the fact that several years ago he
bought large consignment of nurs-
cry stock from a dealer who he aft
erward discovered had not sold him
trees true to name. Altogether there
We're six boxes OF fruit ON the tree, In
none OF which could be found seed or
core or any indication Of one except a
slight mark around where the core
should be and which became visible
after the fruit had been cut in two for
some time.
