Three Hundred Billion Bees.

Three hundred billion bees made
enough honey last year to fill train of
cars long enough to reach from New
York to Buffalo. At the low wholesale
rate of ten cents a pound it was worth
s25, 200, 900, and if~the 100000 bee keep
ers of the country had worked as in
dustriousIy and skillfully as did the
bees the weight of the output would
have been three times as great and the
value s75,000,0O0.
Not only did the little workers con-
tribute that vast supply of pure and
delicious food product to the ration
but as they made it they treated 1t an
tiseptically with former acid thus pre-
venting impurities or decay.
In one year the bee hives sent to
market a product worth nearly as much
as the barley crop; three times as
much as the buckwheat crop; $4,000
900 greater than the rye crop and
nearly Sc. 1000, 900 greater than the rice
crop. All of the rice and buckwheat
grown on an aggregated area of 2,12t
1-3 square miles did not reach to tho
value OF tbs honey by $l51,259.
To appreciate these results one mus,
necessarily strive also to appreciate the
number OF insects at work. That is
rather difficult for three hundred bill

telligent human comprehension. The

WEAPONS OF OLD RACE.
American Museum Gets Rare ColIeC'
ton of chronological Interest.

Dr. Herman G. Bumpus, director of
the American Museum of National
History. announced yesterday that the
museum had obtained rare and
valuable acquisition of exceptional
chronological interest. 1t is a collection
of weapons for warfare and the chase,
fashioned and used by the Veddahs, or
Hunters" a savage people of Ceylon,
representing the YakkoS Of SanSkrit
writer's who are believed to have been
the true aborigines and sole inhabit-
ants of the island before the Hindu
conquest
The collection is declared to be uni
que, and it is said no other institution
in this country, except the American
Museum of Natural History, has
specimens of the weapons of this wild
tribe of India, one of the oldest
branches of the human family, Of
which little is known by ethnologists.
The Veddah Warriors used barbed
arrows, which were made of iron, as
large as spearheads and three
feathered. The shafts are fashioned
of cane and are about four feet long.
For hunting. the arrows were tipped
with iron points a foot long. The iron
was not discovered or Smelted by the
Veddahs, but was taken from the more
civilized tribes.
The bows somewhat resemble those
found in the Philippine Islands. They
are round. taperng to points. and are
small is proportion to the length of the
arrows The ends of the bows project
several inches beyond the strings.
Dr. Clark WiSser. curator of the de-
partment of anthropology of the
museum, Nsaid yesterday that little
material had ever been obtained from
the Veddahs. who live in the eastern
part of the Island of Ceylon, and have
preserved their ancient customs I'M
altered for 1000 years.
They are a dwartish race who make
their homes jim caves, clothe them
selves with foliage. and eat uncooked
vermin and reptiles. They cannot
count or distinguish colors, and never
laugh. Fearing demons as they do
wild beasts, they have kind of demon
worship, and by dancing and shouting
seek to scare away the evil spirits,
whom they confound with their an
cestors.-New York Tribune.

COUNTIES OF UNITED STATES.
There Are About 5000 in All, With an
Average Area of 1000 Miles.

The county is a territorial division
that the United States derived from
Great Britain, where the counties cor
respond to the provinces or depart
mcnts OF other European countries,
and in a limited sense to the states OF
the American union. An Englishman
addresses "a letter to "Parkinton,
Hants," as we address letter to
columbus, Ohio or "Elmira, New
York" One state, which derives it's
usages from French and not from
English originals, has no counties at
ALL In Louisiana these subdivisions
of the state are still called parishes,
both officially and in ordinary speech,
though they are now divided into
many real parishes of the church.
There are about 5000 counties in the
Union, with an average size of about
1000 square miles; but this average is
enormously exceeded in many IN
stances, and is also frequently fallen
below. Leaving out certain great I'M
settled counties in the West, the
average county would be about 500
miles square in extent.
In much of the western part Of the
country the size of the county is re-
gulated mathematically. 1t consists of
Is townships, each composed of SO
square miles, making SIS square miles
in all. In other words, each township
is six miles square, and each county
"a miles square.
In Iowa there are 80 counties that
were formed in this way, each one OF
which has exactly SIS square mi:es.
Such divisions We're possible in the
newer West, where these minor
political divisions were made in ad-
vance of settlement. In the older
parts of the country the territorial ar
rangements were largely accidental
The largest county in the United
States is Yavapai County, Ariz., which
has an area of almost 10000 square
miles. Nine states of the Union are
each smaller than this county. 1t is
larger than the whole of West Virginia.

have said so in private among their
personal friends. The Republicans have
strained every nerve to offset this
wave of sentiment, but have failed
miserably."
We call attention to the above pre-
diction in the light of the election re-
turns to show how utterly hollow and
insincere were the Democratic pre-
election claims. Is it wise in the long
run to try to deceive the public in this
way? We think not. 1t was only short
time ago that the chairman of the
Democratic State committee predicted
that his party would elect it's entire
county ticket in kennebec; but the re-
turns show that the Republican coun-
ty ticket has been elected by major
tiles ranging from 1913 to 1880.
1t may be that the gentlemen who
made the above predictions of Demo-
cratic victory were entirely sincere;
but if so, what value can the public
put upon, their political judgment?
There is of course the Democratic
commercial traveller who is inclined to
be q somewhat noisy fellow, and who
has been assuring us for some weeks
past that Gardner would carry Maine
by 10000 majority.
1t may, perhaps, dawn upon him
now that the talk of a few kickers is
not always d sure indication of pub
lie sentiment.

aIse Prophecies.

The Democratic campaign this year
was characterized not merely by the
methods of personal insult abuse and
disparagement which have been so fit
tingly .rebuked at the polls, but to an
unprecedented degree by Democratic
bluff predictions. 1t would have seemed
to most people that, after the utter
collapse of such predictions in 1904
when the Democratic party united in
prophecying the election of Cyrus w
Davis. no one could ever again be
found to take stock in them: but ii
was evident, in the recent campaign
that many intelligent citizens were
again misled by them. In its issue OF
Saturday morning our Waterville con-
temporary said:
"a careful canvas of the State by the
Waterville Morning Sentinel shows
that Obadiah Gardner will be elected
Governor by a majority of from 2OOt
to 5000: that the Democrats Will elect
three congressman; that majority oil
the State Senate will be Democratic
and that at least so members of the
House will belong to that party. I'M
possible? Well, hardly. States have
turned over before and this Is the yeal
that Maine does the trick. For many

The Needs of New England.

AS one of the earliest and most in
tcresting results of the meeting at the
White House not many months ago
when the governors of the states and
many men of prominence gathered at
the invitation of President Roosevelt to
discuss various subjects of national
Importance, We have had this week the
meeting of the New England COVER
of Massachusetts. The conference
had as it's main theme the question of
conserving New England's resources
and improving New Englands oppor-
tunities and while it was wholly I'M
official it was nevertheless an occasion
from which We may expect definite re-
suits. While the meeting at Wash
irgton was designed to arouse ma
tional interest in the question of max
ing the most of our natural resources
and of the golden opportunities that
appear from time to time to the State
as we'll as to the individual, yester-
days informal gathering of governors
and other public-spirited citizens had
for it's object the discussion of prac-
teal, popular means of improving
New England. 1t had nothing to do
with any intention to revive New
England. AS Governor Guild said:
eff New England were decadent, her
people would not be the constant OBJ
jects of national appeals, whether the
matter in hand is the raising of a
campaign fund for a national election
or the flotation of the stock and bonds
of new mines and railroads. 1t should
be clearly understood that it is our
desire by cooperation further to adj
vance the prosperity of a section al
ready prosperous, that even better re-
suits may be obtained from such re-
sources as we possess. and above all
from the investment of New England
capital in New England enterprises"
Governor Guild, in his thoughtful adj
dress. considered several suggestions
bearing on the problem of securing
the utmost efficiency in the movement
under discussion, and he put especial
emphasis on the need of organizing
an aggressive, representative body OF
citizens to carry the movement on.
With such an organizat ton in opera
ten, and with timely assistance from
legislative bodies, both State and ma
tional, incalculable good could be
wrought in these six northeastern
states.

a Republican was two years ago erect
ed by less than 1000 votes, making a
change of half that number sufficient
to overturn the result, while in the re-
manning 81 districts the same was
true of the successful Democrat. Vi
course, many of the districts ran much
closer than this. the Republican
plurality falling below 200 in the

falling equally low in the Ninth ONO.
