LONE STAR BEARS
AS HONEY HUNTERS.
In Their Search They Destroy
Apiaries OF Texas Farmers.
Traps TO Protect the Hives.

The beekeepers of the Wharton
section frequently suffer losses from
the depreciation of bears. Various
kinds OF devices are used TO protect
the apiarles from the invasion Of
these animals. The trap gun is one
of the most effective guardians of the
beehives. The fact, however, that
more or less danger is incurred to in
nocent human beings who might ac-
cidentally throw the spring of trap
gun causes many of the apiarists to
prefer to keep an armed guard over
their beehives.
The Caney bottoms. situated a
short distance from Wharton, are the
natural habitat of many black bears.
The animals seem 70 have a keen
scent for honey, and they make night
ly incursions into the adjacent terri
tory In search of feast of their fav-
orite sweets. One bear can play
havoc with an apiary I'm short order.
He knocks the stands over one by one
with his ponderous paws and quickly
obtains an opening into the honey
compartments. The average bear
has a large capacity for honey and
one of the animals has been known
to clean up q score of bee stands In
a single night.
Henry Carter, who has a large
apiary in the Boiling neighborhood,
had an exciting experience with two
honey loving bears recently. He has
a pack of bear dogs which have been
used principally to guard his bees
against the attacks Of bruin. The
kennel of these dogs is close to the
hives and no bear cared to venture
close to the spot. A neighbor bor-
rowed the pack to trail down some
bears that had been giving him trou-
bic and failed to return the dogs at
night. Mr.. Carter was awakened
about midnight by q noise which came
from his orchard, where his bee coll
onies were located He quickly di-
vined that bear raid was on. He
grabbed rife and hurried out Of the
house toward the apiary.
He took a sudden backward jump
when big black bear rose upon its
hind feet from behind a beehive and
started toward him. Mr.. Carter fired
at the animal at close range. The
bullet wounded bruin and stopped his
progress temporarily. At this mo-
ment Mr.. Carter noticed another bear
running off from another part of the
apiary. He took n shot at it but
must have missed, as no sign Of blood
was found afterward The first bear
which he had wounded soon regained
Its feet and got so close to Mr. Carter
as to strike at him vigorously with
one Of its paws Mr.. Carter bounded
behind an adjacent tree, where he
got in two more shots from his rife
before the bear could reach him.
These bullets put an end to bruin.
The bears had completely destroyed
his apiary before he arrived on the
(Texas) Correspon-
dence Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Death Pate

The annual death rate in areas of
congested population like the great
cities of the world, may well be con.
sidered under ordinary conditions one
of the most accurate measures Of the
benefits of modern civilization. To
so conduct affairs-whether of the
home life, business or government
as to best insure the prolongation of
Lille is perhaps the finest achievement
possible for organized society. 1t is
remarkable that the largest city of
the world should stand in front of all
others in respect to it's small aggre-
gate of deaths to population. The
death rate in London for 1908 was
