English Legal Ruling Makes Indus
thcus Insects Wild Beasts.

The Law Journal of London prints
TWO interesting cases concerning the
rights Of beekeepers and their neigh
bors. In one case the question of
property in bees was the issue: in the
other, It was question of nuisance.
"A beekeepers swarm flies into
neighbors garden and settles on an
apple tree says the Law Journal.
First question: Has the beekeeper
still the property in the swarm, or has
1t become his neighbor's and annexed
to the ownership of the tree?
b" Answer: The swarm is still the
property of the beekeeper but he can
not go and recover it. If the neigh
Dor objects, without committing a tres.
pass. And this is what the neighbor
in Quantril VS.. Sprague did.
He not only objected to the bee
keeper coming after his property. but
he shook down the swarm from the
apple tree, with the result that the
bees were lost. Now, in this he was
wrong. The shaking down of the
swarm was not only an unneighborly
act, but tort1OuS in law.
1T was analogous to the case where
man drives trespassing cattle on his
land to great distance, or hunts them
off with a fierce dog, in which case
he is liable for the injury, If any.
done to the property in the cattle.
Here, then, was the contest of de-
merits trespass on one side, tort on
the other, A conflict best met, the
learned judge thought, by making each
party pay his own costs.
in. the other case-of nuisance
the beekeeper had ten hives with half
a million bees at work, and he might
fairly congratulate himself on the
law-abiding instincts of his swarms,
for they had only stung five persons
in two years, 1t seems a very moder-
ate allowance; STILL 1t was too much
for the stung plaintiff, who was not
satisfied with a boarding which the
beekeeper has providently set up, but
claimed an interim Injunction to re-
strain the keeping of bees altogether.
so near his property.
In the course of the argument the
theory was broached on behalf of the
beekeeper that bee is entitled to his
first sting; but this is erroneous. A
bee is ferae naturae, not mansuetae
naturae, like dog, and must be kept
as a tiger-at the keepers PERIL
That is to say, that bee is of the ma
ture of a wild beast, not tame one

Gold Stealing in Australia.

There have recently been unpleas-
ant revelations as to the extent to
which the stealing of gold by the min
ers is carried on in Australia. Some
authorities estimate that as much as
$5,OOO,000 worth of gold is lost every
year by the Australian mining COM
panies in this way. Most of the min
ing centers are haunted by a shady
class of nominal gold buyers" who
are really the accomplices of the dis
honest miners, the fences" in Grim
inal slang Representatives of the
mining companies in Bendigo, where
record number of cases of gold
stealing have recently occurred, have
met in conference to consider the best
means of dealing with the evil. AS
one way of checking the evil it was
decided to establish register of all
the miners employed in the Bendigo
district, so that the movements and
migrations of dismissed or reasonably
suspected men might be traced and
observed. In this way it is hoped to
prevent the thieves getting employ
ment in other mines.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Miners Up to Their Chins in Water as
Result of Accident.

Hazleton, Pa.-More than $50 min
ers narrowly escaped drowning in the
No. A slope of the Lehigh Valley G.
Wilkesbarre Coal company at Auden-
ried through the unexpected tapping
a large body of water in the abandoned
No | slope adjoining. The water
reached to the chins of some of the
men, who got to the surface through
two separate openings. Officials at
first thought that all of the men hau
been accounted for, but later the body
of a Polish miner was found in the
No. slope. 1t is believed he is the
man who fired the shot that broke
the barrier between the men and the
water. The rush of air was so great
when the water broke through that
the lights on the lamps of most of the
men in the slope were eXtinguished.
The flood rapidly subsidized.
