Highest Point of Interest.

A man who was passenger on an
excursion steamer which returned a
few days ago from Panama and Costa
Rica, told New York Tribune report
er that all the tourists were deeply
Interested in what they saw in Pana-
ma and along the line of the canal
In the four days which they spent
there. 1.-THE monster dredges, the
great walls of concrete, the locks and
other wonders of the canal construc-
tion," he said, naturally came first
IN order for our attention; them the
cheapness of the duck suits which
we had to buy, the independence Of
the merchants who would not send
them to you and the hospitality Of
the American club will be remem-
bered, but the most wonderful thing
We saw was the real Panama souvenir
In the form OF deck of playing cards
bearing Panama scenes, and the cards
are made in Ohio"

BEES PARTICIPATE IN WAR
terrifying and Demoralizing Method
Of Repelling 6esiegers Employed
by Themiseyraeans.

In these days of scientific warfare
there are more ways of killing
man than of going to church, but you
would have to look far and wide be-
fore you would find a more terrifying
and demoralizing method of repelliing
besiegers than that employed by the
people OF Themiseyra, an ancient city
Of Asia Minor. A Roman historian
tells that when the city was besieged
there were great buildings put up to
De pushed toward the walls SO that
the attackers might advance uninjur-
ed. But the Themiseyraens were q
capable people, and they chopped
holes In the tips OF the buildings and
cast down on the heads of the advanc-
ing army whole swarms of bees and
all the wild and ferocious animals
that their municipal menagerie had
contained.
Likewise, In England. few hum
dred years later, the Danes and Nor
wegians were attacking the ancient
Roman city of Chester, then held by
the Saxons. After all the ordinary
methods of warfare had failed to
drive away the Norsemen the bee
hives of Chester were brought to the
city walls and overturned on the
heads OF the enemy. who retired In
haste.
