R. G. Lurty is Dead.

Ruffin G. Lurty, a native o.
this parish, and member of Yves
Felicana Camp, U. G. V. died al
the Charity Hospital, New Or
leans, Thursday night. Mr.
Lurty belonged to family, for
merly prominent here but now
extinct. He was a man of educa
ton and talent, and was an ex'
cellent writer, but a lack of sta.
bility in his character and habits
initiated against solid achieve.
ments. At one time he had con.
siderable wealth, but spent it
freely. In his later years, he
was cared for by friends in this
parish, and was at the Soldiers
Home for awhile. Those of us,
who remember his talents, and
feel the tie of friendship exclaim:
Alas, poor YOrick!!"
The body will be brought to
st. Francisville to. day, on the
Y. & M. V. train and the funeral
will take place at 5 p. m. The To-
cal U. G. V. Camp has taken
charge of the laying away of
their late cOmrade.
The TRUE DEMOCRAT deeply
regrets that it made no mention
at the time of the death of the
father of Mr.. S. K. Davis, but
such Oversights will occur in the
be regulated printing offices.
The sad event took place, sud
denly from heart failure, Oct. 3,
at WOOdville, Miss. Mr.. Davis
was known here from visiting
his estimable young son, and
every one felt, as did the True
Democrat, the greatest regret at
his death, and sincere sympathy
for his children, S. K, Keith and
Miss Carmel Davis, thus bereft
of a kind and loving father.

The Swarming of Bees.

Bees and their habits come up
among the questions referred to the
Division of Zoology of the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Agriculture.
Disputes occasionally arise among
bee keepers in regard to swarming.
A Shippensburg man recently asked
Professor H. A. Surface, State Zoo
logist, to settle an argument on that
subject. He asked: do bees clean
out a tree before they swarm, or
do they take the queen and go at
random. locating in any tree that
comes in their way?"
The answer of State Zoologist
Surface was as follows:
I'm reply to your recent letter
asking whether bees clean out q
tree before they swarm, or whether
they and the queen go at random
when they leave the hive, / beg to
say that 1t Is now established that
they are liable to do either. Some
times the colony finds a place and
even gets to work at cleaning the
tree cavity before they swarm, but
I think that they generally swarm
and at once send out scouts and
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-12-10

wait for these to return to the clus-
ter with the information that they
have found place to which to go.
II dissatisfied with this they may
remain there and send out scouts
again to find a new place to which
they may go. have known them
to move two or three times. On
the other hand, they sometimes will
swarm and cluster, and for some
reason remain, and dwindle away,
or perhaps fly short distances and
cluster again and again.
II am pleased to see that you are
interested in the study of the habits
of bees, as this is the chief feature
upon which practical, successful
bee-keeping should be based. II
you have made observations in this
line, l shall be glad to learn of
them, but think we should bear in
mind that there Is variation in the
action of swarming."

sUBTERRANEAN TELEPHONES

Some Of Them Under the Rockies,
Whence You Can Talk to Chicago.
With the extension of the long
distance telephone system last sum-
mer as far west as Denver it Is now
possible to talk from Chicago to the
bottom of some of the deepest mines
in the Rockies.
Up at Idaho Springs, the centre of
the famous Clear Creek district,
where the Newhouse tunnel has been
run under the mountains for over
three miles to connect a network of
underground workings, there is a
mine now down $500 feet. This
mine, like many others, has it's own
telephone system which is connect
ed with the surface telephone lines.
At the bottom of the deepest shaft,
$500 feet under the mountain,
there is now a telephone instru-
ment, and standing there in the
bowels of the earth one can call up
Chicago.
OF course telephoning in a mine
isn't quite as easy as it is in sound
proof telephone booth, especially If
the great drills are working. New
ertheless the miners get used to the
racket and seem to have no trouble
talking over the telephone, though
to others it is almost Impossible at
first few attempts.
They tried talking to Chicago last
summer, when the arrival of the
long distance telephone caused al
most as big sensation in Colorado
as did the first railroads. 1t is a
common occurrence to talk with
Denver, forty miles away, from some
of the subterranean workings in the
Rocky Mountains.
The telephone instruments in the
mines are specially constructed with
view of protecting their delicate
parts from the dampness. At Idaho
Springs there is regular telephone
system under one of the mountains
where there are over a hundred
mines, all of them tapped by an un-
derground railway through which
the telephone wires run.

RABBI SAVES SYNAGOGUE.

Finds sound-Absorblna Preparation
That Corrects Its Acoustics.
Pittsburg.-For the first time since
1t was built, there was heard in the
$400 900 Rodolph Shalom Synagogue
full sermon. When it was first COM
pleted the acoustic properties of the
building were so bad that little could
be heard but echoes, but this defect
has been corrected, and the congrega-
ton now hear perfectly. The change
was brought about by placing on the
walls Of the synagogue preparation
which is explained by Rabbi ]. Leon
ard Levy as something which lab
sorbs the surplus sound"
The men who had assisted in build.
ing the synagogue spent thousands
trying to correct the acoustic defects,
but could not do 30. They had decid.
ed to tear down the structure and
erect another when Rabbi Levy pre-
vailed on them to desist until after he
could return from trip to Europe.
While abroad he sent word to have q
certain preparation tried on tho wallis.
1t did not have the desired effect. On
his return the rabbi took the matter
UP personally, and after an interval
sent out word to members Of hts con-
gregAtion to meet IN the auditorium.
They did. and had a joyful surprise.

George Washington University Finds.
Washington, D. C.-Eleven mon
keys, imported from India for expert
ments and housed in the medical
school Of the George Washington Uni

psychological examinations. and Prof.

those Of man, while its faculties for
