Mr.. Bryan says 80 long as the
Republican party remains in power,
it is powerless to regenerate itself"
This is the true hypothesis of the
whole situation. 1t can only remain
in power by toadying to the inter
ests Of the tsriff-protected and party
protected institutions of the country.
Without their aid it cannot regenerate
itself. for it would not be in power.
The Republican leaders must be dis
lodged from power before the people
can come into their own.

WATER SUPPLY FOR BEES.

The necessity of providing a supply of
clean water for bees is commented upon by a
writer in GIeanings in Bee Culture, and it
is pointed out that much valuable time is
frequently lost by the bees in having to fly
long distances in search of water, of which
they require a considerable quantity. Under
these conditions it is obvious that the best
returns cannot be obtained from bee-keep-
ing. Bees, too, are drowned in large num-
bers in drinking from pools, or from water
contained in ordinary vessels, but this con-
tinuous loss can be obviated BY placing chips
of wood in the water, on which the bees can
alight. The following paragraphs are taken
from the article in question =
In many places bees can obtain water for
themselves without making any long journey.
by visiting drinking places of horses and
cattle and also pumps, etc. But in such
places the insects are frequently a great
annoyance. Generally, too, many bees are
drowned under such conditions. To avoid
this annoyance and loss it is we'll worth
while to have a place where the bees may
And water at all times.
, 1908-06-24

Such a place should be provided before
the bees have formed the habit of visiting a
pump or horse-trough, for that habit having
been once formed, the bees will not, under
ordinary circumstances, pay the slightest
attention to any other drinking place. They
may, however, by suitable means, be enticed
away to a new place, if it be only a few feet,
r even o few yards distant. For thisp ur-
pose, the pump or horse-trough should be
covered up so that the bees cannot drink
from it, and q vessel of water set near by.
Next day, and each day thereafter, the vessel
should be moved a little nearer the hive.
After getting a short distance away, it can
be moved 5 or 10 feet each day. Keep the
old drinking place covered up for a few days,
and afterward keep water constantly at the
new place, and there should be no more
trouble.
Whatever vessel is used should hold a
good supply of water and then if care is
taken to refill it before it has been complete
ly emptied, there is not much danger that in
will often be entirely dry.
The best thing I have ever tried is q tub,
or half barrel, with cork chips or cork dust
thrown on the water. Put in oil the chips
possible, provided that the bees will have no
difficulty in reaching the water. The bees
are Just as safe walking over them as on the
ground.-Uj0.

recorded by the Port Royal pilot; Mr.. Hunt,
that his boat lying by Lime Cay was struck

from beneath the sea rather west of south

THE JAMAICA EARTHQUAKE.

A further extract (see agricultural Neeos,
Vol. VII, PIP 1913, 1897 from DR.. Vaughan
Cornish's article "The Jamaica Earthquake,
1907 which appeared in the G~eoQraDhlcuI
Journal for March last. is given below. In
these paragraphs Dr.. Cornish deals With the
observed effects of the earthquake in parts
Of the island outside Kingston =
[ pass on now to describe the distribution
of earthquake damage over the island. [
myself closely inspected Kingston Lower st.
Andrew, and Buff Bay Town. I also exam
ined the damage to the town of Port ROYAL.
and visited Gordon Town and Port Antonio,
beside paying cursory visits to some other
places. For the estimate of damage to other
places embodied on the map [ have relied
upon the evidence of others, most of which
I obtained direct from eye-witnesses. [
have taken great pains to sift the evidence,
and to con- pare whore possible the narratives
of different persons, The result Is far less
satisfactory than a complete survey of the
island would have been, but it !, at any rate,
q much more extensive collection of such
data that has hitherto been published,
/ received several narratives from persons
who, at the time of the earthqla o, were in
the mountains between Newcastle and
Gordon Town and between Silver Hill
and Buff Bay also from persons at Cor
don Town and near Castleton. Their
narratives indicate that the shock in those
situations was quite comparable in intensity
to that in Kingston. Particularly striking
was the experience of a party Of tourists,
who were blocked by q fall of rock ON the
road leading down to Buff Bay, and had to
spend the night in the mountains. The
after-shocks were numerous, and each was
preceded and accompanied by an appalling
noise. The severe landslips about Newcas-
tie and on the north of Silver Hill are evil
dence of as much force as that required to
wreck a house, and the complete wreck of
the Gardens House at Gordon Town, of
which took q photograph, indicates, I think,
an intensity greater than that at Constant
Spring or near Papine corner.
The damage at Buff Bay, of which T also
show a photograph, was severe, but the
stone buildings do not show evidence of
having resisted the shock to the same extent
as the brick buildings Of Kingston. They
collapsed instead of being flung to one side,
therefore they probably fell at once for if
they had resisted during an appreciable
time, the walls would have got up a swing,
ana then must have been flung either one
way or the other. | estimate the force at
Buff Bay as about equal to that at Constant
Spring, somewhat less than that at Gordon
Town, and considerably less than that in
the eastern half of Kingston. Tie damage
to the town of Port Royal was about the
same as that in the less damaged parts of
Kingston.
If we consider the points where buildings
fell and where new landslips were formed on
hillsides, we see that they may almost be
included between two straight lines joining
Harbour Head with Buff Bay Town on the
eastern side, and Port Royal with Enfield on
the western side. The general impression
