Bees are diminutive creatures. but
collectively they are a very consider
able factor in the business and COM
merce Of the country. Late statistics
show that the honey and wax indus
try of the United States has an annual
value of $25,OOO,OOO, while it is esti-
mated that the capital invested in the
business totals $100,0O0,0O0. The num-
Der Of those who keep bees and pro-
duce honey for market in any quantity
is placed at 275,O0O, while the number
of those who keep a hive or two to
supply sweets for the family is very
large. These are the tangible assets
of the bee business. Another service
bees render doubtless far in excess Of
the value Of the honey they produce is
that Of the fertilizing of many varie-
ties Of fruit blossoms, vegetables, GER
tain clovers and alfalfa.

Every hog raiser might reduce the
cost Of pork production materially If
he would provide a field of rape Of
sufficient size for his pigs to range in
during the summer months. 1t is esti-
mated that an acre devoted to rape
will produce food supply in one sea-
son worth from 500 to S25. 1t may be
sown as soon as the ground works
well and at the rate Of about three
pounds per acre. 1t should be allowed
to get good start before the pigs are
turned into 1t.

Many a farmer in sections where the
usual rainfall is ample, but likely to be
a little short during the latter part Of
July and August, might well learn Il
helpful lesson from the irrigation
farmer of semiarid sections of the
west, who, shortly after flooding his
orchard or other cultivated crop, at
once proceeds by careful cultivation
and narrowing to make mulch of fine
mellow soil on the surface and thus
retain the moisture which the soil has
been given with much pains on his
part. The principle holds as well
whether the moisture comes from Il
ditch or falls from the clouds.

One of the most deplorable sights
which the traveller through the west
sees is large areas of fertile mountain
slopes which have been denuded of
their magnificent growth OF conifers
by the deadly fumes Of copper smelt-
cries or the terrible forest fires set
by sparks from passing trains. by the
campfire of careless hunter or axman
or by revengeful Indians who have
sought by this means to debar the
white hunter from a territory over
which its primal owner could no long
er hold sway. So intense have been
some Of these fires that not only the
giants OF the forest have been killed
and in many cases half burned by the
ronfiagration, but all seeds and seed
lings destroyed, which will prevent re-
forestation except by artificial plant
Ing. In most cases the land referred
to is too rough and steep for tillage,

time as systematic planting is under
taken.

to say for the Jerusalem artichoke, a
distant cousin of the wild artichoke

 All of the improvements have been freewill offerings. There is an oppor- tunity for some mechanical genius to show his liberality by building bench at one of the many quiet hooks along the trail. Aud then in years to come, as loving couples sit on the bench, holding hands and gazing into each others eyes, they will bless the donor.
 There are many plans for the future to make the island attractive. Alex Nelson says that if a place be provided the Douglas hotel will donate bear to the cause. A short tunnel in the rock and stout fence would make good home for bruin.
 During the past week Brown & Sully have donated $lO to help the good work along.

Electricity is measured by the kilo- watt hour. The rates for buying cur rent from the electric light plant for power, light or heat are always so much for each kilowatt hour of electricity consumed. To explain the term needs first, clear definition, then compari- son. Everyone will understand that a certain amount of force must be used to drive electric energy through cir cult. This force is measured in volts; thus we have 11O,volt circuits, and 220- volt circuits, the one expressing just twice the force of the other; but the quantity of current passing through a circuit depends upon the force and the resistance. This quantity is expressed by different term, namely amperes. Now the efficacy of the current de- pends upon both force and quantity, and to express thls efficacy or united action we multiply the force by the quantity: that is the volts by the am pores. We express the results in watts. Thus no volts multiplied by 5 amperes is ], 100 watts. A kilowatt is of course 1000 watts, which is equivalent to about Ia h. D. In charging a battery the lighting companies bill for the use of so many watts for so many hoursi thus 1000 watts for 1U hours would be charged as 10 kilowatt hours, which at 5 cents a kilowatt hour would be 30 cents, a charge that seems little enough for 10 hours use at Is h. F. But what a kilowatt hour is worth may be judged by what it will do. Thus kilowatt hour, figures an engineer of the General Electric Co.,, will light 20 l6.candle power incandescent lamps or two stan- dard arc lamps for one hour; it will pump 100 gallons of water to height of 9 feet; compress 470 cubic feet of free air 100 lbs; drive an ordinary pas senger elevat or l75 feet; print 2,500 circulars on a F by 2l job press, or 1000 sheets on g by 47 cylinder press; run a sewing machine for two hours; supply air for a church organ for one service; mix 21a cubic yards of concrete; heat 2-pint chafing dish for four hours; mix sufficient dough for 15O Ioaves of bread, and grind GOO lbs. of coffee. 1t will drive a runabout 419 miles or a ton truck one mile.-Min- ing Science.

A Distinguished Visitor

Last Saturday afternoon the town of Douglas and, incidentally, the News office, were honored by a visit from a distinguished parsonage. Now we war rant that you are guessing some down East congressman or, perhaps, a mem Der of the cabinet. But it was none of these. It was Tommy Lyons. Beg your pardon. We should have said Judge Lyons. He is a judge all right, and, we are informed, he has proved a rattling good one. So much so that the people of the Panama, to whom he appeared in almost the light of a car petbagger, wanted to keep him for all time. But every body in Southeastern Alaska feels. q sort of @ personal interest in Tommy Lyons, because he is not a carpetba bagger to us. He is one of our products and we are proud of him and of the record he has made, and we hope he will never do anything that will cause Us 10 think less of him.
 "We thought for a time" said the News man, that they would keep you at Fairbanks"
 "Oh, no, said the judge, q wanted to come home"
 He looks little thin and tired, but he worked hard and the first term on the bench Is hard one for any judge.
 The judge was accompanied by U. s. Marshal Faulkner and bis head deputy, Jack Mullen. Mayor O'Connor and Deputy Marshal McMinan were show. ing them the town They visited May flower island aud were charmed with it's beauties.
