of it. By the diffused glow of the
torches around the area could see
that steady stream was pouring
along the catacombs. Even as /
watched I saw it catch piece of
newspaper and float it away into the
darkness. I heard a shout of fear:
"The Seine! The Seine!"
And sudden inspiration came upon
me.
Prince Louis" I shouted, II have
the only knowledge of escape for you.
Kill me, and you die like water rats"
The tall man came forward. He was
nearly knee deep in water, and now,
no longer a stream, it was swirling
through the catacombs like a torrent
growing more and more swift mo-

"You spare our lives?" I cried.
He nodded. Men were running to

wait for their commands. At signal

Three Glasses of Individuals in Each
Colony, Each Having Its Special
Duties to Perform.

| In the honey bee we find SO many
and such remarkable instincts that it
seems to me impossible that they
could have been acquired by the proc
| ess of evolution.
Three kinds of individuals exist in
| colony of bees-the queen, whose
sole work is to lay eggs; the drones,
| or males, whose only function is to
| fertilize the queen, and the workers,
| which are females undeveloped sex
ually
Only one queen is permitted to live
| in the colony at the same time, there
| being a mortal antipathy between the
queens. The queen is continually
guarded by number Of workers and
| her wants are carefully supplied. If
| two queens are in the same colony
they enter combat, being urged by
the workers, and fight till one stings
| the other to death.
When a young queen is ready to
| leave the cell in which she has been
reared, she is not permitted to do so,
but she is guarded by the workers I'M
til the old queen has abandoned the
hive with a swarm, and then she is
permitted to leave the cell. When the
queen has fully matured in her cell
| the workers cut away the wax from
| the end of the cell till it is an exceed
ingly thin film.
If the colony is deprived of it's
queen, the workers, after searching in
vain for her, set to work to rear a
new queen. For this purpose they
select larva that would develop into
a worker, remove some of the neigh
boring cells and construct for it a
large vertical CELL By feeding this
larva on royal jelly it becomes a
| queen.
If two queens during combat acquire
position in which they might destroy
each other, thus leaving the hive with
out queen, they refrain from giving
each other the mortal stroke.
When the swarming season is over
the old queen is permitted by the
! workers to sting to death all the
queens that are in the cells.
If the queen loses both her anten-
nae she is unable properly to deposit
her eggs, and the workers permit her
to perish.
At the close of the swarming sea-
son all of the drones are killed by the
workers. They are no longer needed,
for the old queen has already been
fortified, and new drones can be
reared in the following spring. Thus
food is saved for the use of those bees
alone that will be of future use to the
colony
If they lose the queen when swarm
ing they return to the hive they have
left-seeming to realize that their eff
forts would be fruitless without a
queen. If the hive has no queen the
drones are permitted to live through
the winter
When the drones are destroyed the
larvae and pupa which would produce
drones are also destroyed. If pressed
for food, colony will attack weak
er colony or hive without a queen,
and, if the attack is successful, the
vanquished colony joins the conquer
ors, thus Strengthening the hive.-Al-

MAY PROLONG REVIEW.
Naval Demonstration in New York
Nav Start Earlier.

1t is said at the Navy Department that
1t will depend upon the wish Of Secretary
Meyer whether a longer period than the
original three days assigned will be al
lowed for the naval review in New York
next month. The secretary already has
refused to allow the big ships to remain
in New York harbor after they are re-
viewed by President Taft. October IL,
but II is now suggested that the same
purpose will be served by gathering the
fleet in New York a week in advance OF
the original date, or on October Z.
The feasibility Of that change will de-
pend entirely upon the progress made by
the fleet in the execution OF the scheme
of drills and exercises which II is now
carrying out. 1t is not doubted that most
of the vessels. though not all. have SO far
advanced in their work that they will be
able to rendezvous at New York several
days in advance Of the date set for the
naval review if so desired.

Marshall Attacks the Tactics
Of the Progressives in the
SunfIower State.

KANSAS CITY, Kan, September 49,
Never has the black flag of piracy float

was 1t saulted with so much honor" de-
clared Gov. Thomas r. Marshall, demo-
cratic nominee for Vice President, in

from the republican party On the ground
Of non-support. They have renounced
that party and all it's works and all its
ways. They claim that the Republican
party is even worse than the democratic
party, yet here in the state of Kansas
they propose to place the republican en-
blem above their progressive electors and
thereby force the Taft republicans to
do one of three things, none of which
they want to do-to vote the progressive
ticket, to vote against their principles
and for the democratic ticket, or to stay
away from the polls and not vote at all.

republicans in Kansas, provided they

citizens, to vote for Mr.. Sherman.
There can be no doubt as to the duty
OF governor whose state faces this con-
dition Of affairs. He should at once con-
