The Journal has received this enquiry
from New York city:
In the year 1899 The Great Republic
Cod Mining Company of Seattle, Wash,
was organized with capital stock of rs
millions, according to the certificates OF
their shares, which were One Dollar each.
A certain A. B. Ernst was the Secretary
and John Y. Terry, President. Is that
comnany still in existence? Have their
shares any value? Did they at any time
have any value?
This is as difficult to answer as the
similar inquiries received here from all
over the'country, and from foreign lands,
in regard to the Nutriola company, but
the shares are probably equally valuable
in both companies.

tThe shoe manufacturers have had a
good year and 1910 gives promise Of
being still better. The shoe manufac-
tuners have not done as much business in
1909 as they did in 1906 and 1907, but the
record of 1908 has been greatly exceed

The Pope's Brother.

The Papal troops are sticklers on
military saluteS. An ordinary priest,
| for instance, is only entitled to should
er arms, while a monsignor gets pre-
sent arms, and for bishop a little
guard is turned out while a cardinal
has the whole guard turned out to do
him honor. AS clergymen of different
ranks are continually passing to and
fro in the Vatican palaces the soldiers
on guard are kept pretty busy, and
their only work seems to consist i'll
saluting.
y few days ago an old peasant in his
Sunday clothes entered the Vatican
from the bronze gates toward dusk and
showed d card to the Swiss soldier on
guard. "They told me-" said the old
peasant in a marked Venetian accent,
that by showing this card 1 can be
admitted. The soldier was half in
clined to send the old man away, but
he happened TO glance at the card.
Immediately he sprang to attention
and presented arms. At the same time
he loudly called out the guard in Ger
man, and within a few seconds twenty
| Swiss soldiers under an officer were
drawn in line. presented arms and q
bugler sounded the royal salute.
The old peasant was astonished. He
took off his hat and stared at the SOL
diers, who stared at him and remained
motionless. After waiting for five min
utes, not knowing what to do, he
calmly walked out and strolled around
| the Vatican until he reached a back en-
trance, also guarded by a Swiss sol
dier. Here he again showed the card
and again received the royal salute.
Still greatly astonished, the old peas
ant walked away, and as he knew that
there are only two entrances to the
Vatican he went home, where his sis
ters lived, a short distance from the
Vatican.
How is it that you came back so
soor?" asked the two old women; lis
Bepi i'll or busy?"
''The foreign soldiers will not let me
in,'' replied the man, and that evening
the Pope, who was looking forward to
| a chat with his brother, Angelo, whom
he invited to spend the Christmas holi-
days in Rome, was greatly disap-
pointed.
a secretary was sent to inquire and
some time after he returned to the
Pope accompanied by the old peasant
in his Sunday clothes, who explained
the cause of the delay The PapaI
troops have received strict orders not
to render military honors to 'the Most
Serene Signor Angelo Sarto, the Holy
Fathers brother and the old peasant

on which the Pope himself had writ

travelling Speed of Birds.

A writer on birds says: "If you con-
suit the usually accepted authorities on
the speed of birds in their flight you are
likely to be misled by an exaggeration
of from 100 to 300 per cent. This is be-
cause figures have been given on hear
say, appearance and very superficial
observation.
But recently American, English and
French observers have been comparing
notes, and are practically agreed, af-
ter most careful calculation, on the
speed of the best known birds They
started with the carrier pigeon and
have made him base of comparison.
He has heretofore been credited with
110 miles an hour. but it is now agreed
that he is entitled to fifty.
A long distance, carefully conducted
test of 592 miles, from the Shetland is
lands to London. showed that the most
rapid pigeons made thirty-seven miles
an hour. On shorter distances none
made more than fifty miles.

FraternaI Love.

If our religion is to be real and truly
spiritual, it must be rooted and ground
ed in brotherly love. He that hateth
his brother cannot know God" nor can
he know man. The precious Christian
quality of love will open the eyes of
our spirit to the abiding beauty of ev-
cry human soul, to the temptations re-
sisted as we'll as those we have con-
quered to the aspiration after some
thing higher, struggling like plant in
a dark dungeon toward the light, to the
glorious possibilities, hidden in the be-
ing of every child of God. That clear
perception of the good concealed with
in our brothers and sisters will help us
to catch some bright glimpses of our
Father in heaven. 1t is human selfish
ness which hides the true nature of
Gods children, however degraded they
may have become by their own fault or
the fault of others, from our sight; it
is the same deep, deadly shadow which
darkens our own perception of God.
Through brotherly love flial affection
to God is born in human heats, and
when that sacred emotion has once
filled our whole being, spiritual relig-
ion is known and loved

Special Sense of Bees.

The directive sense which is pos
sessed by bees is the object of re-
searches made by Mr.. Castor BONNER
of Paris and he seems to prove that
bees possess a special sense like that
of carrier pigeons.
Bees can fly for two miles from the
hive and are then able to return after
gathering their supply of honey. Lang
stroth and others suppose that vision
comes into play and that bees can see
for a great distance and can also note
objects on the way, so as to find their
path. Others, with Dadent, suppose
that the bees are guided by the sense
of smell and that they can smell flow
ers at one and half miles.
The author makes experiments to
prove that bees can return to the hive
without either sight or odor. AS to
sight he takes bees to a distance of
one or two miles from the hive in a
closed box. They always fly back to
the hive when released. The same is
true when their eyes are Ncovered, so
that sight is not essential. AS regards
odor, experiments seem to prove that
bees perceive odors at only short dis
tances. When needle dipped in ether
is brought near the head of the bee, it
shows signs of perceiving the odor, but
not so when the needle is placed back
of him or near other organs.
Besides, when the organs of smell
(antennae) are removed entirely the
bees will return to the hive. NJ Bon
nier makes the following experiment:
At 600 feet from the hive he places a
supply of syrup and the bees soon find
it, proceeding to and fro to the hive.
Such bees he marks with green colored
powder. He then places a second sup
ply of syrup at the same distance from
the hive, but spaced at twenty feet
from the former. Other bees are now
engaged in the to and fro movement to
this point, but these are not the same
individuals as the green marked bees,
who are still working on the first sup
ply, and he marks these in red.
We have thus two distinct sets of
bees. and we see that they can distin-
guish two directions which form a very
acute angle. We seem to have here a
special directive sense which does not
reside in the antennae. but probably
in the cerebroid ganglia. Other facts
may be cited in evidence of the direc-
tive sense of bees.-Scientific American

drainage area is only about 45S square
miles. and in it's power producing sec
ton it is only forty-three miles long
a very Tom Thumb of river as rivers
go in America.
Yet the doughty little stream pro-
duces 90, 900 horsepower, fifty for every
square mile of it's drainage area. If
you will figure out this amount OF
horsepower in terms of coal you will
find that the busy little stream repre-
sents a capitalization of about s25,-
1000. This is twice the developed
horsepower of any other important
river.
