favorite brand and the bartender set
the bottle before him. Now Tetlow

Suddenly he was seized by a vio-

step forward and raised the empty
revolver to strike. The masked man
moved slightly to one side and his
clenched fist caught the warden on
the point of the chin. The official went
down without a sound and lay still,
inert. a moment later the door lead
ing into the corridor OF the prison
opened, and Signor Petrozinni, ac-
companied by one OF the guards, en-
tered the warden's office. The masked

Work of Bees.

Three hundred billion bees, accord
ing to one expert apiarian, made
enough honey last year to fill train
OF cars long enough to reach from
New York to Buffalo. At the low
wholesale rate of 10 cents n pound it
was worth 25,0OO,OOO. and if the 7C0,.
600 bee keepers of the country had
worked as industriously and skilfully
as did the bees, the weight of the
output would have been three times
as great and the value S75,000,O 900
Not only did the little workers con.
tribute that vast supply of pure and
delicious food product to the nation,
but as they made it they treated 1t
antiseptically with formic acid, thus
preventing impurities or decay.

Keenlno EeIs at Hons

Under the direction OF it's biological
station at Copenhagen, the Danish
government has begun an interesting
effort to aid the fishermen of the Bal
tic by preventing the migration Of
cells from that sea into the ocean.
The means employed is a barrier OF
light. formed by placing fifty cleo
trio lamps along a submerged cable
between the island of Fano and the
coast Of Funen. The effectiveness of
such barrier depends upon the fact
that the ellis migrate only during the
dark hours. Accordingly, as soon as
darkness begins in the season OF mi
grafton, the lamps are illuminated.
and thus a wall of light is interposed
from which the cells recoil.

that these slides. added TO those which
have occurred since last July, do not
