President Taft, it is reported, has
practically decided to abandon Olonga-
20, in the Philippine Islands, as re-
pair station and war base, and in
structions have been issued to the
Navy Department to prepare plans
and estimates for such an institution
on Manila Bay, and it is believed that
| the new station will be established
near Manila and not at Cavite, where
there is navy yard. This action is of
great Importance as it settles one of the
vexatious questions which have pre-
vailed regarding military and naval
policy on the Asiatic station. It is ex-
pected that the decision will soon be
announced from the White House, af-
ter which it will be possible for the
President to urge Congress to make
definite appropriations for big naval
station in Manila Bay, with some
prospect Of getting it. There is no
chance whatever of course SO long as
the controversy was carried on in the
service concerning Olongapo and
Manila.
Hides and skins are a very impor-
tant feature Of the import trade Of
the United States, and the variety of
skins of animals imported for use iz
the manufacture of leather is much
greater than would be supposed. For
instance, buffalo hides amounted in
1903, to not less that 5, 800, 900 pounds
in quantity, and in value to SEQ, 900 ];
horse and ass skins, IS, 900, 900 pounds,
valued at So, $50, 900; sheepskins,
AZ, 900, 600 pounds, valued at SO, 500, :
600; and even kangaroo skins over
500, 900 pounds, valued at more than
$500, 900. The hides and skins from
abroad form about one-third of the
value Of material Of this character
used in the manufacture Of leather in
the United States.

COMMITS SUICIDE.
Quiet, Steady Youth Locks Himself
in Room.-Blows Out His
Brains With Shotgun.

Lancaster, Aug. 13.-Ernest Cly-
burn, young man about l9 years
old, son Of Capt. W. I. Clyburn Of
the Halle Gold Mine section, commit
ted suicide this afternoon by locking
himself in his fathers room and
blowing out his brains with a shot
gun.
No cause is known for the rash
act. He was a young man of quiet
steady habits and deservedly popu-
lar. He was a brother Of young
Thomas Clyburn, who lost his life
in the double tragedy at Kershaw
about two years ago. The father of
young Clyburn was on his way to
Hot Springs, n. c., this afternoon,
when his son took his life. Capt. Cly-
burn was notified at Monroe of his
sons tragic death.

Good Roads,

A resolution was adopted at Darden
Pomona Grange asking all the subor-
dinate and Pomona Oranges to dis
cuss the advisability of having the
State Grange at their next session to
ask the goverlsor to include in his call
for special session a request for a
law permitting sood road districts to
be formed and the property owners of
the district to be allowed to vote a
special tax levy or vote bonds for
good roads in that district.
We believe that the subordinate
lecturer should have this subject dis
cussed in their Oranges. Under the
present system of building roads by
subscription half of the people pay
their share and the remainder do not.
and receive the same benefits, while
under this system everybody would
pay his share.

Industry Full of Details.

Beekeeping is an industry full OF
details the neglect Of which will have
an effect upon the earnings of the api-
ary, and the detail that seems to re-
ceive a little more than it's share of
neglect is the saving of wax. Beeswax
is a very important product, and in
the markets of the world it has more
standard value than honey. There
is no substitute that can take the
place of beeswax in the many uses to
which it is put in the industrial arts,
and when we have a pound Of wax
we know there Is more gold in 1t to
the square inch than there is in an
equal amount of honey.
To get the most wax from an api-
ary, it pays occasionally to scrape
the frames, honey boards and the in
side of the hives, and when old frames
are broken up, to be sure they make
fine kindling wood, but before using
them for that purpose they should be
boiled; there is much wax sticking to
old frames even after they are scrap
ed seemingly clean.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-10-29
Solar Max EXfracfnr-

l very much doubt whether there is
better way for the rank and file Of
beekeepers to render wab than
by using the sun, or solar, wax
extractor. l believe it will pay
to have a sun wax extractor. If
you do not care to buy one you can
make one. All that Is necessary is
to have a box with glass over 1t, and
you will find that when 1t stands in
the sun the inside of the box will be
a very warm place. To melt your
combs, put in the box an old dripping
pan having hole at one corner, or
having one corner torn entirely open,
and that corner the lowest, with some
kind of dish set under to catch the
dropping wax.
1t is claimed that all the wax can
not be got out Of the combs in this
way, but If any person will take off
the glass frame after most of the wax
has run out, and with trowel, Or
something similar, rub down the ref
use, so as to break down the cocoons
that may remain whole, l think he
will have no trouble in securing 90
per cent. of all the wax contained in
any comb, no matter how old or tough
1t may be.

way and then move the weight back
far enough SO that it will hold the
hive suspended. In this way the up.
per stories can be removed and held
to one side while the frames in the
lower story are examined; or the low
er story may be removed entirely. If
necessary, or replaced by another
one.
For weight use an ordinary hive
body in which I put whatever heavy
material desire. The illustration
shows the trunk-rollers on the under
side of the cleats, so that the weight
may be slid back and forth without
much exertion.
With this arrangement I can
weigh hives as we'll as move them.
With my regular scales l weighed diff
ferent hives and marked the position
of the weight on the framework when
a good balance was secured. In this
way can get the weights of differ
ent hives accurately enough for gen.
eral purposes.

a Diu Gator Skinned.

An alligator considerably over seven
feet in length attracted much atten-
tion while lying in front of Fire De-
partment Headquarters, where 1t was
skinned by several colored frenen.
The gator was a beautiful specimen
of it's kind. with well-preserved hide
and a beautiful head. according to the
standard by which our alligators are
judged. The reptile was shot on the
Hagan plantation, about thirty-six
miles north of Charleston, on the
Cooper River, by Stephen Fraser,
keeper of the Hagan tract, famous for
the splendid hunting opportunities
which it presents and for its lumber
preserves. The rife ball which put
an end to the alligator entered the
skull, and left only a small mark,
which was hardly to be noticed with
out close observation.
The colored firemen who peeled
the gator took care that the steaqs
situated near the tail of the animal
were not lost. This portion of the alli'
gator anatomy is considered as an OK
ceptionally choice morsel by colored
people.-Charleston News and Cour

Sawdust for Roads.

Sawdust is utilized in the South for
roadmaking. Two ridges of earth are
thrown up with road machine at the
required width from each other, and
the space between is filled with a six
inch bed of sawdust which is then
mixed with the dirt. This is said to
make roadbed on which the tires
of the heaviest loaded vehicles make
no impression. The cost is stated by
the Jacksonville Times-Union to be
about $500 mile, showing it to be
about the cheapest road material in
use, One or two such roads were con-
structed in a South Georgia county
twenty years ago and still in good con-
dition, showing it's durability.

Notes on Bee Culture.

Don't tolerate leaky cover.
Success does not come without an
effort.
There are no ironclad rules in bee
keeping.
You should read one or more good
books on bees.
One must be a thinker as well as
a worker to succeed with bees.
Think what you are doing and do
it right, and you'll succeed.
The new pure food law will be
some help to the bee keeper.
The one and one-half story hive for
comb honey is the best hive for one
who Is raising comb honey for mar
ket.
All small tools used in the apiary
should have red string tied to them
SO they can be easily found if lost
in the grass.
The pound foolish, penny wise fell
low does without improved hives and
fixtures that make work with bees
more pleasant and profitable.-Farm'

angler his first trip the other day.
The amateur hooked a Goldfish, but
his line parted just as the fish was
above the water Back fell the Goldfish,
carrying with him two sinkers and
the hook.
Twenty minutes later another ang'
Ter cried out that he had captured a
cod with two sinkers and a hook.
The amateur went up to the angler,
who appeared to be an old salt and
asked for his hook and sinkers, which
had his name stamped on them. He
was surprised when the old salt told
him to take the fish also.
According to the rules generally fol
lowed on the fishing boats the second
angler was entitled to the fish, but
the hooks and sinkers should be re-
turned to their owner. The old angler
explained why he wanted to give uT
the fish.

sea great part of his life. When
young man he was a whaler. and ac

The Compass.

The Chinese seem to have used the
compass, or its equivalent at very
early date to guide them in their
Journeys across the vast plains Of
Tartary. They made little images,
whose arm, moved by a freely sus-
pended magnet, pointed continually
toward the pole. An apparatus Of this
kind was presented to ambassadors
from Cochin, China to guide them
in their homeward journey, some 1,1O0
years before our era. The knowledge
thus possessed seems to have gradu-
ally travelled westward by means OF
the Arabs, though it was fully 1000
years afterward before it was fairly
applied among the peoples of West
ern Europe.
