The new Bookkeeping bureau OF
the Massachusetts Agricultural col
lege has set itself the task of de-
veloDing a bee that will not sting.
and that, at the same time. will be
twice or three times as industr'ou-
of today. Prof. Burton n. Gates
state inspector of apiaries, who is
in charge OF the work. thinks that
the first step in solving the prob
lem has been accomplished with the
importation of specimens OF a bee
found in the Russian Caucasus. This
type of bee" he says, is remarkable
for its gentleness. It is not ideal
in some other directions, but we
hope to get what We want by cross
breeding. Some day. 1 think, we
shall breed bees that will be great
honey or wax producers. and. at
the same time. gentle and stingless"

PREACHER LIKES BASEBALL.

Here's the way the pastor of the
First Baptist church Of Spokane
rounded off a sermon on baseball:
There is no heaven. not even a
newspaper notice for the player who
freezes on third base. Third base
is only 90 feet from the home plate,
although it often seems a 1000. 900.
Watch the left-handed pitcher; be-
tween the raise OF his arm and the
speed of the ball to the catcher's
glove is your golden opportunity.
Everybody likes to play baseball. ex-

COMPARISON OF cAPIToLs.

Utah, as all Of Its citizenship knows
is about to engage In the construction
Of a capitol building which may cost
somewhere from $2,500,000 to s3,000,-
0o0.: It will not be known for while
whether the Capitol Commission in.
tends to put up complete structure
built with the money available, or
whether it will plan for structure
more commodious and imposing than
the amount of money indicated would
build, and depend upon future appro-
priations to finish the structure as
planned, SO far as known now, how.
ever, the probability is that the com.
mission will adopt a plan for a struc-
| ture complete in itself, and will ap-
prove the plans and proceed with the
construction accordingly. In the mean
time the following editorial comment
from the New York Evening Post on
the Wisconsin capitol as contrasted
with the capitol structure in New York,
will be appreciatively read as fine
example of sarcastic writing:
A s7.OOO.ooo Capitol is rearing It's white
! dome In Madison. Wis, and the builders
want to sweep away all the trees in Capi-
l'tol Park, to let their master work be
seen As quoted in the Milwaukee Free
Press, they argue that EFF the big trees
are to be left standing, the beauty and
lmagnificence OF the new white granite
structure would be hidden from, sight. and
Il would be just as we'll. therefore. to
have less costly and pretentious af-
fair" Be that as 1t may, continues the
newspaper. the fact remains that. II the
dome of the Capitol would be visible
from any viewpoint and the dome. while
In itself an immense affair. is but a small
part OF the great four-wnged structure" p"
Here in the East. after putting I'D a
81, ,ooo, 900 Capitol ar an expense of about
| s24,000,000 and filing 1t with papier-
mache ceilings and sls oat-hangers we
thing hidden by trees. In Wisconsin,
things are different The Badgers have
| a good tblng. and they are proud Of IL.
But, inasnuch as the trees were there.
and still are there, prepared TO hide ev-
erything &savc the dome. It looks as
though the builders had overlooked an
the CapItols at Albany and Harrisburg
had been. doing the one at Madison, they
would probably have hit upon the happy
thought OF building only the dome. To
! lend costlness and pretentiousness. they
i would have crusted the dome with imi-
| tation diamonds while below, hidden by
| the friendly trees, would have been moth
Ing but cheap spruce scaffolding.
1t appears from the above that Wis
consin is about to have a capitol so
fine in architectural appearance, that
the architects and builders seek to have
the trees Of the capitol square cut down
so that the beauty of the building will
stand forth revealed to the appreciative
gaze of all beholders. 1t is quite a
natural feeling, doubtless, in the ar
fists of that fine structure. that they
do not wish to have anything inter
fere with the unobstructed view of It,
And yet. the trees in the capitol square
are noble in themselves, and well
worthy of preservation 1t is probable
that a compromise will be arrived at
whereby the trees will be cleared for
a space about the capitol structure

HOW CARNEGIE WON.

The testimony of Mr.. w. C, Temple
of Pittsburgh, who was chairman of the
Steel Plate Association, and is also de-
scribed as having been commissioner
of the Steel Plate Association formed
in 1900. was of the llvehest sort. He
not only testified that the combine con
templated monopolistic control, but he
gave the exact percentages Of the di-
vision Of business among the different
concerns involved in the combination.
Perhaps the most amusing part Of his
testimony, however. was that which
dealt with the negotiations with Mr,
Carnegie 1t appears that Carnegie
gave Frick an option on his steel plants
for $3.50 100000. On this being put up
to J.. Pierpont Morgan, he refused the
proposition, considering the, price too
high. Six months later. however, when
they came to size up: their pudding, =
they found, as Mr.. Temple expressed
it, that Carnegie had all the plums, and
showed rigid disposition to hold on to
them. Therefore tho combination had
to buy him out on his own terms, and
those terms were no longer $160, 200, 900,
but s5o0,O0o,ooo
This .is getting into the intimate re-
lations Of the trust deals indeed, Ac-
cordlug to this Mr.. Carnegie is no peace
man when it comes to business, He not
only understood what his opponents
were obliged to have but understood
well that he himself had the goods, and
that, unless they bought him out at his
own terms, their whole effort would be
failure. Accordingly. the combine,
having missed its big opportunity of
