The first European to learn of the

NJ. Hue and party OF friends set

They met young Chinaman on the

asked him If he could tell them the

and he couldn't read any answer there.

BEES IN WARFARE.
Two Instances In Which the Insects
Were Used ar Weapons.

Two instances In Which the Insects
Were Used ar Weapons.
History records two Instances In
which bees have been used in warfare
us weapons against besieging forces.
The first is related by Appian of the
siege of ThemiscJ ra, in Pontus, by LII.
cullus in his war against Mithridatcs.
Turrets We're brought mp, mounds We're
built, and huge mines were made by
the Romans. The people of Themis-
cyra dug open these mines from above
and through the holes cast down upon
the worlimen bears and other wild
animals and hives or swarms of bees.
The secon instance is recorded in
an Irish manuscript in the Bibliotheque
Royale at Brussels aud tells how the
Danes and Norwegians attacked Ches-
ter, which was defended by the SaNons
and some Gallo aaXiliaries. The Danes
We're worsted by n stratagem, but the
Norwegians, sheltered by hurdles, tried
to pierce the walls of the town when
"what the Saxorls and the Gaeidhil
who We're among them did was to
throw down large rocks, by which they
broke down the hurdles over their
heads" What the others did to check
this was to place large posts under the
hurdles.
What the Saxons did next was to put
all the beer and water of the town into
the caldrons of the town and boil them
and spill them down upon those who
We're 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.
What the Saxons did next was to
throw down all the beehives in the
town upon the beslegers, which pre-
vented them from moving their hands
or legs from the number Of bees which
stung them. They afterward desisted
and left the city.
