BEES IN WARFARE.
Two Instances In which the Insects
Were Used as weapons.

History records two Instances In
which bees have been used In warfare
rs weapons against besleglng forces
The first is related 10y Applan Of the
siege of Themiscyra. IN Pontus, by Lu-
cUllus In his war against Mlthridates.
iurrets were brought up, mounds were
Luilt, and huge mines were made by
:he Romans. The people Of Themls-
cJra dug open these mines from above
aud through the holes cast down upon
the workmen bears and other wild
animals and hives or swarms of bees.
The second instance is recorded In
an Irish manuscript In the Bibllotheque
Royale at Brussels and tells how the
Danes and NocSegians attacked Ches-
ter. which WAS defended by the Saxons
and some Gailic auxilarieS. The Danes

this was to place large posts under the

What the Saxons did next was TO put

the caldrons OF the town and boil them
and spill them down upon those who
were under the hurdles. so that their
skins were peeled OF The remedy
which the Lochlans applied to this was
TO place hides outside on the hurdles.

FELINE FISHERS.
III Cats Apparently Are Not Afraid
OF the Water.

Judging from my experience. cats,
then living near water. are generally
fond of fishing have personally
known three feline fishers. One was a
mere acquaintance and used TO fish in
trout stream, The other two lived
with us and during the summer
months used TO fish in the lake nearly
every evening. They would crouch on
the shore and suddenly jump into an
advancing wavelet. very frequently
bringing out small fish. When they
had kittens. have sometimes seen
them bring up TO the house three fish

Turks Stay Persian Women and
Children.

The incursions of Turkish troops
across the northwest frontier of Per.
STA, which for some time had been ir
allegiance, have again broken out. A
serious raid has occurred near Uru-
miah, 5000 Turkish troops, with ar
tillery, having crossed the frontier
and destroyed the village of Mavaneh
Seventy-eight persons, of whom six
ty were women and children, mostly
Christians were killed Subsequently
the Turks drove a small force oil
Persian troops from nearby camp
and instituted themselves in il.
According to an unofficial report, 8
large body of Persian cavalry subse-
quently joined the Turkish invaders
and the combined force is said to be
threatening the town of Urnmiah
twelve miles west of Lake Urumiat
and sixty-four miles from Tabriz
Urumiah, which has a population es-
timated between 10000 and $4,000
persons, including many Christians

which finally crossed the ocean and
took root in New York, where for days
the most atrocious of deeds that have
ever been recorded in the annals OF
criminal history against women and
young girls, many of them barely
toddling. has at last extended its ter
rorizing hand all over the land, until
today, Chicago, Baltimore, Pittsburg
Milwaukee, Dayton, o., and many
smaller places have felt its blight
Dispatches pour in daily chroni-
cling assaults that cause the blood to
chill in the veins and parents are
thrown into terror by the unre-
strained foe that stalks aobut, not en-
ly in the shadows of the night, but
in broad daylight, and wantonly prac-
tees his brutal assaults.
Today's story brings forth new as

brute attacked Miss Anna Markowit7

Canadians Seize Isle ROYAL

Capt S, c. Young returned Sunday
evening from his trip to Isle Roya
in Lake Superior, where he was sue
cessful in planting the British flag
meeting with no opposition in any
quarter He claims the island is nortf
of the forty-ninth parallel and conse
quently rightly belongs TO Canada
He asserts that the action of The
Asburthon commission in making it Z
neutral island was disgrace tc
British diplomacy.
Asked why he had made his expe.
dition, he said it was for the purpose
of opening correspondence between
Ottawa and Washington, which
would show the great injustice done
to Canada in the matter
With Young was NJ. Fisher of Fort
William, and a party of men who, re-
ports say. were armed to meet any
resistance which might be made by
the American customs officers These
officials wired Washington ON the
matter but received no reply.
The affair has caused a sensation
here and it is expected that interna-
tional complications will result The
action of Young is not Endorsed by
the Canadian government, which was
in ignorance of the affair until Sun
day when it was officially notified
that the island had been seized in the
name of King Edward.
