Clan. and Dwarf Honey Bees.

In some of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland of Hindustan are
to be found the smallest species of
honey bees in the world. These dwarf
honey collectors are known to enti-
biologists as Apis forea. Their honey
combs are no larger than child's
hand and the cells are about the size
of a small pin head. This honey is
excellent, as is the wax. The little
creatures build the comb on the
branch of a low tree, and as they have
not to provide for winter they work
all the year through. raising broods
like themselves.
In the same land there is species
of giant bees, Apis dorsata. as large
as a field cricket. These monsters
of the bee world build honeycombs
that are from six to seven feet in
length. four or more in width, and
which weigh from three to four hun
dred pounds each.

Wolves Startle Town.

Palmyra, Mo.-Armed men and snap
ping dogs pursued large gray wolf
through the streets the other day. Aft
er a long chase the animal was shot
and killed by Louis Nelson, deputy
game warden, where 1t stood at bay in
front of hedge row.
The wolf was captured when it was
a cub with six others, in the Salt riv-
er hills of Rails county. County AS
SCISSOR Milton Phillips took 1t home.
When 1t grew older it killed all the
cats on Phillips farm. He then turn
ed 1t over to Palmyra resident.
Yesterday the wolf broke its chain
and ran out on the street. 1t was pur-
sued to the open country.
Nelson claimed the IS bounty paid
by the state for pelts.

Startling Going South.

Reports received at the department
of agriculture state that the English
startling, whose progress in this coun.
try has been watched with some un-
easiness. has got as far south as New
port News.
This is one of the imported birds
that 1t is feared will rank with the
English sparrow as a pest. 1t does
no particular harm in England. but 1t
was introduced into Australia a num-
Der of years ago and there 1t has been
a serious menace to the wheat crop
Its only redeeming feature is that 1t
is much larger bird than the English
sparrow. and therefore likely to be
easier to handle. The birds were
started in this country in New Eng
land and worked south slowly. For
several seasons they seemingly we're
stationary in the latitude of Philadel-
phia.

summer and the gold placers Of Brem-

later. No copper has yet been pro-
duced in this district. according To the
Geological Survey, but the facilities Tor
transportation offered by the Copper
River e Northwestern Railway DURING
the last year have stimulated interest
in the development of copper proper
ties so that considerable prospecting
has teen carried on.
one small stream, Golconda Greek,

yielded most of the gold SO far pro
duced in this district, although Little
Bremner River has contributed part.

been found near Taral nor between the
Chitina and the Premier in Hanagite
valley The total production Ct the
district is not known, but several
thousand dollars worth OF GOLD mas
been produced each year since mining
began. The very high cost of supplies
and difficulty Of access have done much
TO discourage prospectors.
