BEES AND SQUIRRELS FIGHT.
Gerald VoIk Succeeds Dave Leahy as
Wichita Romancer.

Wichita. Kan, June 21.-A battle
royal, that was altogether one-sided,
took place here between a swarm of
bees and a family of squirrels, which
combatted for the possession of box
that was nailed in the fork of tree
in the yard of one of the most 'attrac-
tive residences in the city
The tree was in the yard of Gerald
Volk. lawyer of this city. He nailed
the box in the tree last fall to give
the squirrels a place to make their
nest for the winter. The squirrels
took the bunch and have lived in the
box ever since.
Yesterday morning a large swarm
bees came along and wanted the
box; the squirrels objected, and the
bees began singing them to rout them
out.
The bees were too numerous for the
two squirrels and the latter deserted
the place, but soon returned, only to
be routed for the second time and the
third time. The squirrels finally gave
up and are now on the outside looking
in while the bees are on the inside
looking out.

A Plea for cannibaIisn.

The physician took little more tur
key
I'VE digest turkey easily he said
because the flesh resembles our own
A turkey eats grain, meat, fish, pretty
much everything tasty; we do the
same. and, hence, human flesh and
turkey flesh are a good deal alike.
Fish digest fish best Carnivorous
animals, if fed on the flesh of carniv-
ores, keep in the best condition. When
a snake goes off its feed, the trainer
soon brings il round with meal or
two of snake meat
These and similar facts have been
proved strikingly by Emil Fischer, the
Berlin chemist The most digestible
and the most economical food, Fisch-
er's experiments show. is that which
is more like the feeder. The most In
digestible, costly and least nourishing
food is that which is most unlike the
feeder. Cannibalism, in other words
is the most reasonable food law. and
vegetarianism is the most unredson-
able. "

ATTRACTS MEN OF WEALTH.
Homes Of Mllionaires Increasing In
the Capital City.

! The multi-millionaires' colony Of
Washington is growing at a rapid rate
at present, and the influence of wealth
in the society of the national capital
is felt more and more with each ses-
sion of congress. Bonanza kings of
all the world seem to have a curious
weakness for the beautiful American
capital, writes J. c. Welliver. in the
New York Herald.
Washington, with something less
than 100000 population, the capital of
the richest nation on earth, is being
rebuilt at a marvellous rate in marble
and magnifcence. Augustus Caesar
left as his proudest boast that he
found Rome in brick and left it in
marble.
Thus the change which has come
over Washington in recent years is
one of the most interesting aspects
of later day American developments
Americans are probably more familiar
with the curious frontier town, neither
northern nor southern, which wes
founded by the first president in
wilderness, captured and burned by
the British in 1912, three or four times
on the verge OF capture by confeder-
ates during the war between the
states. and which for nearly a century
was in grave doubts whether it had
proper excuse for municipal exis-
tence, than they are with the beauti-
ful modern city which is being de.
yeloped there.
1t is only within a decade and
half that wealth and society have
recognized the possibilities of Wash.
ington. The national capital powa-
days lays strong claim to the di>tinc-
ton Of being the intellectual an the
social as well as the political enter
of the nation. Thither 90 NOR and

PhotoaraphIna the stars.

In measuring the sensitiyeness Of
Photographic plates at different tenn
peratures, so as to determine the best
temperature for star photography, an
English astronomer has discovered the
curious fact that for some plates the
best temperatures for photographing
very faint stars and somewhat bright
er stars are not the same. Thus be-
tween "a and 70 degrees centigrade
the plate becomes slower for faint
stars when slightly warmed. whereas
at the same time it becomes faster
for brighter stars. The expert in as
Economical photography will therefore
hereafter regulate the temperature of
his plates according to the brightness
of the particular celestial objects on
which he is working.

SCHEME THAT BROUGHT NEG
LEcTFUL GIRL TO TIME.
BY Working on Her Curiosity Swain
Famed the Cooling Embers Of
Love That Was Never to
Fade Away.

They had made their VOWS Of su
perlatiyely transcendental affectior
and love which they were cocksurs
had existed from the beginning oi
things, and which, according 10 theil
charts, would endure long after noun
tains had been crumbled by the ruth
less hand OF time.
Then, when her visit in his town
was over, she returned to her distant
home. All, yes. she had home to
return to.
He slaved away at the office for her
sake.
! The months went by. as months
will.
Then her letters stopped. In fact,
they didn't start. For she had ceased
to write any more. Or If she had,
she sent them somewhere else. He
did not get them.
For three weeks he yearned for the
daily billy dukes which came not.
He felt that If he could get just one
more word from her he would have
the courage to journey to her and
win back the eternal affection that
had slipped cog and permitted the
bulletins to cease.
One day he thought and thought.
and reyolved things in his head, and
finally all Of sudden an idea rolled
out.
A few minutes later he had an en-
yelope all sealed up with her name
and address on 1t. He put on the
conventional two-cent stamp, added
special delivery stamp, and dropped
the envelope into the box marked
western at the post Office
He looked up the mail trains and
figured it out that she would get his
special from the hands Of the messen-
ger at about ten o'clock the following
morning.
The next morning at 1924 he was
called to the Telephone It was a
long distance call from her town. 210
miles away as the bird flies.
Excitedly she told him that he had
neglected to place a letter in the en-
Velope-and IL must have been oh,
ever so important, because It came
by special delivery. "And," she told
him, Il just couldn't wait another
minute. ! started to write, and then
had to call you up and find out
what the important thing was you had
to tell me"
Gradually he was obliged to break
the news to her that, cowardy as 1t
had been to take mean advantage of
woman's inherent curiosity, he had
omitted the letter for the sole purpose
of hearing from her.
Less than week after that she sat
at her little escritoire in the distant
city making out the list Of those she'll
have to invite. And he was passing
up the installment house ads.
