Hiqh Priced Bumblebees.

Many years ago the farmers of
Australia imported bumblebees from
England and set them free in their
clover fields. Before the arrival OF
the bees clover did not flourish in
Australia, but after their coming
the farmers had no more difficulty
on that score. Mr.. Darwin had
shown that bumblebees were the
only insects fond of clover nectar
which possessed a proboscis sufi-
GENTLY long to reach the bottom Of
the long, tubelike flowers and at
the same time body heavy enough
to bend down the clover head so
that the pollen would fall on the in
sect's back and thus be carried off
to fertilize other flowers of the
same species. The bumblebees sent
to Australia cost the farmers there
about half dollar apiece, but they
proved to be worth the price.

Color of the Brides Gown.

1t is interesting to note that the
choict, of white for wedding dresses
is comparatively a modern fashion.
The Roman brides wore yellow, and
in the most eastern countries pink
is the bridal color. During the mid
die ages the renaissance brides wore
crimson, and most Of our Plantage-
net and Tudor queens were married
in this vivid hue, which is still pop
ular in parts of Brittany, where the
bride is usually dressed in crimson
brocade. 1t was Mary Stuart who
first changed the color of bridal gar
ments. At her marriage with Fran
els II. of France in 1553-which
took place not before the altar, but
before the great doors of Notre
Dame-she was gowned in white
brocade, with a train of pale blue
Persian velvet six yards in length.
This innovation caused quite a stir
in the fashionable world at that
time. 1t was not, however, till quite
the end of the seventeenth century
that pure white, the color hitherto
worn by royal French widows, be-
came popular for bridal garments
in England.-Church Eclectic.

The kl!ioator'5 Sleep.

A man who passed himself off as
an animal keeper at zoo had one
spring an experience with an alli-
gator which cost the concern dear.
The alligator had not awakened
from his winter nap when the keep
er appeared on the scene at the
park. He could not understand
why the saurian slept and thought
it was sick. He punched the ALI
gator and tried in many ways to
wake it up. He also noticed that
the creature did not eat. Finally,
growing desperate for fear that he
would have a death on his hands,
the keeper bought ten pounds OF
beef, pried open the saurisn's huge
jaws and poked the meat down his
throat with a fence rail. A few
days later the thick skinned crea-
ture died. The keeper later ex-
planned that he did not know that
alligators slept in the winter and
did not eat anything during their
long maps.

The Very Earliest Coins.

No one knows exactly when or
where the original coin was
"struck" or what metal was used.
Certain passages in Homer would
lead to the inference that brass was
coined as early as the year 1884
B. C. Tradition affirms that the
Chinese had bronze coins as early
as the year 1920 B, c., but Herodo.
tus, the acknowledged "father OF
history" is of the opinion that the
Lydians "invented" coins some time
during the ninth century B. c. One
of the oldest coins now known is
a gold daric, coined by the Persians
during the reign of Darius. On
one side of this coin is a bust of
Darius and on the other side a
figure of a kneeling archer.

SERPENT POISON.
The Venom Of the Cobra Is Deadly Al
most Beyond Belief.

It was in the autumn of 1891
that Calmette, while acting as di
rector of the Psychological insti
tute of Saigon, Cochin China, frs
commenced his experiments on the
naturalization of serpent venom IL
the animal system. He had excep
tional opportunities in the matter
of serpent venom wherewith to car
~ out his investigations, inasmucf
as a band of cobras had recently at
tackled a village in the vicinity Of
Baclieu, and by order of the gov
ernor of the district no fewer thar
ninety specimens of the terrible Ma
ia tripudians, or cobra de capello
were forwarded in a barrel to the
institute.
Forty of the reptiles arrived
alive, and several were at once sac
rifced to secure their venom glands
Each gland. resembling both in size
and shape a shellcd almond, con
tains about thirty drops of venom
and in this transparent limpid liquor
is embodied toxin OF extraor'
dinary strength. As is well known
this cobra is tie most dreaded Of
all scrpcnts, ard it is widely dis
tributcd over India. Burma, Suma'
ira, Java, Malacca and Cochin Chi
ma. Until Calmette, however, SCI
to work to Systematically study the
nature of this reptiles venom but
little precise or reliable informa.
tion had been obtained as to its
character. 1t was, of course, nee
essary in the first instance to as,
certain, within as narrow limit a:
possible, the exact degree of toxic
power inherent in the venom and tc
determine if possible the precise
dose lethal in respect of each varie'
ty of animal experimental upon.
A correct calculation Of the guam
tity of venom required in every case
was, however, found to be quite i'm.
possible, for so virulent is the
poison that a single drop Of ar
emulsion produced by pounding uT
eight glands in 500 grams of dis
titled water is sufficient, when in
troduced into the vein of a rabbits
ear, to kill it in five minutes. AL
the mammals to which Calmette ad'
ministered this cobra venom, such
as monkeys, dogs, rabbits, guinea
pigs and rats, succumbed more OF
less quickly, according to the size
of the Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

BERNINrS FOUNTAINS.
The Way the Gres: Artist Helped to
Beauty Rcnie.

In 1929 Bernini, the famous ltal-
ian architect, painter and sculptor,
who vas one of the architects of
St. Peters, turned his mind to an
other branch of ornament for
Rome. Many of the most beautiful
fountains had already been con-
structed. In the preceding century
Cardinal Ippolito d'Este had made
his famous garden at Tivoh. con-
tanning no less than $50 Many of
these we're on very large and c!ab-
crate scale, and it seems very prob
able that these, which in Bernini's
time were still in good preservation,
NAV have inspired him to emulate
their splendor, He certainly often
visited Tivoli, as he was employed
to report on some new waterworks
constructed there, and there are the
remains of one fountain which ap-
pears to have been added about this
time and in which a seventeenth
century porti:o is supported by col
umns similar to that which Bernini
copied for his baldacchino. How
ever this may be, in Rome Bernini
may claim to be the creator of the
monumental fountain, feature so
conspicuous in the city.
Who that loves Rome but will ac-
knowledge a debt of gratitude to
the man who set the Barcaccia or
open boat at the foot of the Spanish
steps, who reared the dripping Tri-
ton draining his conch shell on high
on the piazza of the Barberini? ?
Who will not thank him for his gift
of the famous Trcvi, with its splen-
did facade, its wild sea gods and
plunging horses, its reckless prodi-
gality of space and material, its
wealth of spouting streams: For
although erected many years after
tie death Of Bernini, still the idea
and the original plans are his. and
Prince Doria possesses his sketch
for the central group. 1t intervals
all through the remainder of his
life he found time to add to their
number. Grl Rome owes to him no
less than twelve of her founts. They
meet us in all parts OF the city. In
the Piazza Navona the little sea
gods blow their horns around the
Fountain of the Moor. and the CO.
lossal forms symbolical Of the Four
Rivers recline in sleepy grandeur.
Others stand in the Vatican gar
dens, in the Villa Mattel, etc, and
are all marked by the same fertile
invention and largeness OF concep-
tion Review.

had been severely criticised by
some of the dispen,ary ;tGvo-
Gates for pairing on dispen>ary
questions with Senator Bass OF
Williamsburg, who has been ab-
sent ON account of sickness 1or
several weeks. He had been re-
ferred to by come a.> a "traitor
to the cause" and various un-
kind remarks had been made.
He understood the custom OF
the senate to be that senator
when asked to pair with anoth.
er senator on any question
would be acting discourteously
if he refused to do so. At the
request of Senator Black, who
is an advocate OF the diSpensary
and who was too i'll last night
to be present, he had secured a
pair for him on any dispenSary
question that might come up in
his absence. Mr. Graydon said
that while he might be persuad.
ed in some things he desired it
distinctly understood that he
could not be driven an inch.
Senator Graydon is highly es.
teemed and his friends in the
senate resented the inslnuationS
that he had acted otherwise
than would be expected of any
honorable member of that body.
Senators Black, Hardin, Holli-
day, Mauldin, Brooks, Weston,
Raysor, Appelt, Walker and
others eXonerated Senator Gray
don of the charge that he had
acted traitoriously to the
cause which he is known
to represent in this dis
cussion. Senator Hardin declar-
ed that his regard for the sena-
tor from Abbeville W&s such
that he believed he would be
the last man in South Carolina
who would do anything dishon-
orable.
Mr.. Graydon did no. disclose
the name of the mer 70 had
criticised his action,, but if
they were present must
have regretted the "1Sty and
unwarranted reflections after
hearing Senator Ora rs ac-
ton in this matter so generally
endorsed. While m.Hy mem
bers of the senate at as disa-
gree with Mr. GraydCA ill no
word of reproach has ever before
been uttered against him and
those who have occun:ed an op-
posite position fro.o i'm on
matters OF such Importance as
the dispensary question have
always been his warm personal
friends.
Senator Weston also arose to
a question of personal privilege
and explained his position in
connection with his former pair
with Senator Bass. He had con-
sented 10 pair with Senator Bass
soon after the latter went to
his home. His action had been
questioned by some of his friends
a few days ago and he went to
Senator Christensen, one of the
leaders of the antidispensary
forces, and told him that there
was some question about the
prosriety of the pair, inasmuch
as senator Bass was absent from
the chamber indefinitely. He
consulted with Senator Raysor
about the matter and was ad-
vised by him that the pair was
all right and it would be perfect
ly right for him to continue it.
When he went back to Senator
Christensen TO explain to him
that the pair would be contin,
ued, the latter informed him
that ha had ,rnmedia telv arranC.

VIGOROUS DENIAL
BY SENATOR DANIEL \
Report That He Said He Would
Not Vote for Bryan Untrue,
He Says.
BRANDS TACOMA DISPATCH
Declares That There Is Nothing
Whatever in the New York
Times Story,
DY WALTER EDWARD HARRIS


y WASHINGTON, d. c., May 17.-Scn-
ator Daniel was prompt to deny to-day
story tolegraphed from Tacoma to
the New York Times last night, in
which 1t was stated that he had said
to man in Washington that he would
not vote for Bryan, nor for Taft nor
Roosevelt, but might support a man
like Secretary Root.
'As to the statement that would,
or said I would, support q man like
Secretary Root. and would not vote
for Roosevelt, or Taft, or Bryan" said
the Senator to-day, "all have to say
is that there is nothing whatever in
it but big mistake somebody has
made"
The Senator did not care to discuss
the subject further. 1t ls probable
that tho direct and exceedingly OUT
spoken manner in which Senator Dam
lei, n day or two after Mr., Bryan's
speech in Madison Square Garden, de-
nounced tho latter's position regarding
government ownership of railroads
caused the Impression that he would
not vote for MI. Bryan were he to be
made the nominee of the Democratic
party. While Senator Daniel, in COM
mon with the vast majority OF the
leading men OF the Democratic party,
is bitterly opposed to government own
ership, there has nothing been said
Il him to Indicate that he would not
support Mr.. Bryan were the Ncbraskan
to be nominated
