The nest, almost as large as a bushel basket, was found in the woods by the women. They cut off the limb to which the nest was fastened and brought the trophy to Hamilton, who placed the nest over his fireplace.
 He was on his porch waiting for the hunters moon to show over the east ern hills when he heard a roaring noise inside. Thinking the chimney was afire he rushed in. The room was full of hornets, swirling in clouds. The warmth from the fireplace had awak- ened them. The artist pried open two windows and threw open a door to cool off the place. At midnight he ven tured into the house, as the cold air had reduced the army to quiet.
 At o'clock the next morning Ham, ilton had cleaned house and buried a pailful of hornets under the pines.
 Did you get stung? was asked of Hamilton.
 "H'm! In what way do you mean 9" he spared "Oh. bv the hornets? No-o: not by them"

I don't remem- per much of the detail of this threat ened competition, but do know that at the time the transmitting apparatus or the telephone was by no means per lect' so l set to work to make a per lected telephone in this respect, a vital matter for the future of the in Ventlon. Well, after good deal of hard work, got what I was after. There it is,"-and MT. Edison pointed at the receiving end of the telephone which stood on his desk.
 With my carbon transmitter ready for demonstration I went to the of flces of the Western Union; I had pre- Viously sold that company my stock ticker invention and my quadruple system of telegraphy and quite natur- ally, l suppose, 1 gravitated to it with the transmitter. 1 saw the manager and one or two other gentlemen, showed them the transmitter, and told them that l was pretty sure that with my apparatus in their possession they would have the bulge on the Bell in- strument. I tell you, they were an in terested lot of men, and as soon as gave them a chance they asked for some kind of an option on the in vention and I gave it to them without further ado.
The Green Forest tribune., 1910-12-02

1t was only little while later that they sent for me and made me a proposition to buy my apparatus out right. They said they were willing to pay me about hundred thousand dol lars in annual installments covering a rather lengthy period. I thought that was lot of money, and how nice it would be to count with perfect cer tainty upon an income of several thou sand dollars a year for quite number of years, and, do you know, I let them have that invention on their own terms?"
 MT Edison permitted himself to in dulge in a near-chuckle. "A few weeks later" he continued, q heard that the Western Union had sold my improved transmitter to the Bell peo- pie for eight hundred thousand dol lars, simply by proving to the latter that it had the bulge on them.
 But have never regretted the deal I made with the Western Union peo- pie, or, rather, the deal they made with me. l gained lot of experience in that transaction, and it was worth the experience. I have never let any body get the better of me since, and l am certain that the experience got then has made me far more money then I lost through ineXperience when I didn't dicker back and forth between the Western Union and the Bell peo- pie with my transmitter."

STATE TO INSURE ALL MEN
England's Contriputory Scheme to Counteract Lack of Employment
 Outline of Plan.

London.-As the British government has already announced that It mas fin hand a national scheme of insur- ance against unemployment It may be taken for granted that Sir Hubert Llewellyn Smith, who is chief of the permanent staff of the board of trade, indicated semi-ofIicially the lines on which that scheme Is based in the address which he delivered recently as president of the economic science section of the British association. First" he said, the scheme must be compulsory, otherwise the bad per sonal risks against which we must always be on our guard would be cer- tain to predominate; second, the scheme must be contributory, for only by exacting vigorously as a necessary qualification for benefit that a sufii- cient number of weeks contribution shall have been paid by each recip- tent can we possibly hope to put linn it's on the exceptionally bad risks.
 Our analysis leads us step by step to the contemplation of a national contributory scheme of insurance, within the limits of a large group of trades-a group so far as possible self-contained and carefully selected as favorable for the experiment, the funds being derived from compulsory contributions from all those engaged in these trades, with subsidy and guarantee from the state. The rules relating to benefit should be so de- vised as to discriminate effectively against unemployment which is mainly due to personal causes, while giving a substantial allowance to those whose unemployment results from industrial causes beyond the control of the individual"
 Such scheme Sir Hubert regards as actuarily possible, at least for such a group of trades as building, engineering and shipbuilding

perpleXing puzzles of ornithology. Some of the old authorities surmised that these mysterious birds retreated into the soft mud at the bottom of ponds, lakes and streams. Later au- thorities say they disappear upward. The swift reappears as mysteriously as he disappears.
 Hawks and vultures collect in the upper air and when a large congrega- ton has assembled they move off si- lently and majestically at a great al titude and we see them no more until next spring, when they return one at a time, without any parade or spec tacular performance. Many kinds of birds skulk and hide for days before leaving for the south and then they leave at night.
 Contrasted with this apparent war derlust of birds is the homing instinct of some birds and animals, the carrier pigeon and the horse for notable in stances. Perhaps the homing instinct is the overpowering sentiment in all bird wanderers. Some strange neces sity drives them away from the nest site, but each and all return as though prompted by an intense patri- otic attachment to the place of their birth
 Our human kind is less faithful 10 the home sentiment than are the mi grant birds. Who of us would return year after year over long distances to visit the scenes of childhood, knowing well the trarsitory nature of each visit?

Canal Will Require Ninety-TWo
 of Them.
Giant Portals to Be as High as Six Story House, 65 Feet Wide, Feet Thick-The Cost Will Be
 S5,5OO,0oO.

Pittsburg dreaming of gates they will seize as Halloween trophies would not in the widest nightmare imagine such enormous gates as are being made in Pittsburg for the Pan ana Canal. They will be the largest gates in the world.
 Any one of the 92 of them-for there are to be 46 pairs in all-will be about as high as a six-story build buildings, and feet thick.
 The structural steel that will go to make them will weigh 60,000 tons, or over eight times as much as was used to build the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
 The mighty portals, designed to ad- init worlds commerce from one ocean to another, must withstand a tide of criticism as well as tremen- dous pressure of water and possible convulsions of the earth. For years the controversy over gates or no gates, locks or sea level, has been the dividing issue of the canal problem. In the face of fear In some quarters that the foundations on the Isthmus are not sure enough for locks, that earthquakes or water pressure would dislodge them, and that an enemy's s mines or accidental explosions might easily destroy them, the government has begun to build the gates.
 The cost of the gates will be $5,000,- 900. Of the 6O,OO0 tons of steel re- quired the heaviest single pieces will weigh about IS tons. These will be the base girders, which are seven feet long and which will be placed much like the first floor girders of sky

TRAIN APPLE TER

He was a wise man and merely said:
 Well, gentlemen, I'll get them Thank you for the suggestion"
 The next day Baked Apple and Cream was written in red ink on the bill of fare. There was a rush for the apples that startled the restaurant managers, and several barrels are now served there every week. That sug- gcsted the Apple Consumers league, and we began at once to spread the work We went about calling for ap- pie, and when the restaurants and ho- tels failed to offer the fruit we made 1t our business to make life a burden to the managers. The apple army grew like magic and ere long thousands of travellers took up the refrain. Up to that time the dish of fruit on hotel tables contained bananas and oranges. We filled up these dishes with apples. and made baked apple fair partner with sliced oranges. There can be no doubt that this simple organization has increased the consumption of ap- pies by 20 per cent.
 Some amusing things have grown out of 1t. The Pennsylvania Horticul- tural society met at Gettysburg one year. This is the heart of the famous York Imperial section, yet there was not even the smell of an apple about the hotel Some 50 or more guests be- gan to call for apples, and kept it up at supper until the proprietor sent out and bought some Ben Davis, which he served raw. For breakfast the baked fruit came on piping hot.
 When the New York fruit growers met at Penn Yan there was served at dinner an apple pie like mother used to make" The writer found that the hotel cook was a woman and he sug- gested that she ought to be made an honorary member of the association as a woman who 'could take a handful of flour, a lump of butter and sugar and even a Ben Davis apple and make a pie that would induce a man to buy a
