GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.
ROMANS USED BEES
AS WAR MISSILES

Strange as il sounds, history has two
authentic accounts Of the employment
OF bees as missiles Of defense In war
fare.
The first instance occurred at the
siege Of Themiscyra, ia Pontus. by
LUcuIlus. in his war against Mithri-
dates. The Romans made huge mounds
outside the city walls, inside which they
gathered their machinery for mining
etc. But gSs Themiscyrans had a
happy thought They dug open these
mounds from the top. and cast down
upon the soldiers inside bears and other
wild animals, and huge hives and
swarms Of bees.
The second time that bees were put
iu this extraordinary use was when the
Danes and Norwegians attacked Ches-
ter which was CALAMITY defended by
the SaXOns. All sorts Of stratageIns
were used on both sides. but the honors
remained fairly even, until the SaXOns.
after collecting all the liquid IN the
town. boiling II, and pouring Il over
their besiegers, followed this up by un-
expectedly throwing down all their
beehiyes.
Very soon after this the Danes and
NOrWegians desisted and marched

then Mr.. Rowland passed the King, and
finally Alfonso passed Mr.. Rowland.
