BEES MASTER OF THE ROAD.
Farmers Mishap That Stopped
Travel on French Highway.

FROM the LOnuOn leieSrapu.
A curious incident is reported from ST.
Prieure. near Chambery, where two colo
MES of bees in a state Of instruction have
routed everybody from the neighborhooc
and are still masters of the road.
The cure of neighboring place. accom-
panied by farmer came to take posses
sion of two beehives. which the farmer
loaded on a cart drawn by two oxen.
Half way home one of the hives fell OFF
the cart was broken up. The bees on
being liberated attacked the farmer with
fury. and stung him so violently that the
poor man tainted and fell on the road.
The cure came to his rescue, but in his
hurry upset the other hive, from which
the bees also escaped and attacked him
in turn.
Workmen from the fields round about
heard the cries and rescued both men. who
had to be carried to a house and attended
by a doctor. Meanwhile the bees attacked
the oxen and stung them SO hercely that
the two beasts started on mad race
down the road. and were finally stopped
by q woman. who in turn was surrounded
not only by the bees of the first two hives.
but apparently by all the bees in the
neighborhood. and had herself to be res
cued by the villagers.
So savage have the bees become that the
highway il said still to be in their posses
sion and the Inhabitants have to be well
protected to venture out in the fields.

HARvARD'S ELEVEN
IS IN BAD SHAPE
Loses Candidates by Gradua-
ton, Nine of Regulars Leav-
ing-YaIe Candidates Re-
port September Is.

BOSTON. Mass. August S.-The Har-
ward football eleven has lost heavily by
graduation. and much material will have
to be developed to replace the men who
are going out. The university eleven
which played against Yale last fall lost
nine men by graduation this spring. and
of the four substitutes who were in the
game last fall two will also be gone Fol-
lowing are the H men who will be ell

G. G. Browne, 10, and V. p. Kennard, 'o9.
Capt. Burr will probably play tackle, un-
less he should be shifted back to his old
place at guard.
Other candidates for tackle are Fish.
Kennard, Robinson, MADDEN. Phillipbar

TURKEYS BRIGHTER FUTURE.
Genuine and Lasting Reforms Con-
fidently Expected.

BOSTON, August 8.-That the politi-
cal situation now developing in Turkey
will be productive of genuine and lasting
reforms is the belief of the Rev DR.. James
l.. Barton, secretary Of the American
board of commissioners for foreign mis-
sions. expressed in an interview today.
DR.. Barton. who has just returned from
abroad, lived in Turkey for seven years
and is in close touch with every part of
the Ottoman empire.
Regarding the probable permanency of
the new constitutional government, DR..
Barton said:
There is every reason to believe that
conditions will never become again as
they were even one month ago. The
new Turk party. by no means lawless
and irresponsible body. but comprising
the best elements from all the natiOnah-
ties Of the empire, have for the first
time learned their power. They have
been able to make the sultan believe that
they intend to insist upon larger liberty
and freedom from oppression. while at
the same time they are showing their
desire and purpose to aid him In carry
ing out the necessary reform. If he re-
fuses this assistance he will he powerless
to resist them; II he accepts it there is
ground for believing that genuine reforms
will be inaugurated."

Dancing for salmon-Words to Be
Avoided When Batting Hook.

From the Los Angeles Times
In British Columbia the Indians cere-
moniously went to meet the first salmon.
and in fattering voices tried to win their
favor by calling them all chiefs.
Every spring in California the Karaks
nsed To dance for salmon. Meanwhile one
of their number secluded himself in the
mountains and tasted for ten days. Upon
his return he solemnly approached the
river. took the first salmon Of the catch,
ate some OF 1t. and with the remainder
lighted q sacrificial fire. The same In

where the salmon were watching no fish

the Ainos even the women left at home

Slavery In Papua.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The report of an attempt to reintroduce
slavery into Papua recalls the fact that
tire name was bestowed on the island by
the Malays. and means "frizzled." in ref
erence to the hair of the inhabitants. 1t
is generally supposed that Papua. or New
Guinea, was originally part of the MAIN
land of Australia and was discovered by
the Portuguese in 1926. though it. was
probably sighted by A. Dabreu during his
voyage fifteen years earlier. The Aus
tralian government, realizing the danger
that would arise if an enemy seized land
SO near their coasts. frequently urged
England to annex the eastern portion of
the island, and after two or three I'M
authorized lamentations a British pro-
tectorate was established there in 1884.

Washington Elm Is Safe.
From the Boston Transcript.

OF all the Cambridge trees. the vener-
able Washington elm receives particular
care by the park department. When,
therefore. Superintendent of Parks Dom
nelley learned that some of the citizens
were worried about the condition of the
tree. although he assured them of the care
expended on 1t. he asked Prof. Sargent
OF the Arnold Arboretum to give his opin-
lon. Prof. Sargent accordingly went to
Cambridge day or two ago and exam
ined many trees there. giving special at
tention to the Washington elm; in q let
ter which Supt. Donnelley received from
him today he confirms the opinion of the
superintendent. and says that not only
is the elm free of the leaf beetle. but
that no other harmful insects are lodged
in its bark or on its leaves.

The meeting Of the directors of these
companies to act on the dividends was
set for today, but was postponed until
tomorrow to give opportunity for attend

FOR CHEAPER cABLEGRAMs.
John Henniker Heaton Says End
Should be Put to Cable Monopoly.

London, Nov. 10.-John Hennker
Heaton, the father Of the imperial
penny postage idea, addressed a big
audience in the Royal Colonial Insti-
tute this evening and advocated the
transmission of cablegrams at one
penny a word. He declared that an
immediate end ought to be put to tine
present cable monopoly at any cost
and that the cable companies should
be bought out at the market price by
the civilized governments of the world
The first step to this end would be a
conference of the postmaster generals
of Europe and the establishment of
the penny word rate in this hemi-
sphere, then there should be a con-
ference with the postal authorities OF
America.
The carrying capacity of the cable
lines between the Continent and Am
erica. Mr.. Heaton declared was -
times greater than the amount of bust
ness at present handled and MAORI
ty of them were unscrupulously kept
idle by the cable monopolists. CiViliZ-
ed governments should abolish politi-
cal frontiers for telegraph purposes.

as the best way to clear miSunder
standing and bring race in touch Will:

make for war.
