Giant and Dwarf Honeybees.

In some of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland of Hindustan are
to be found the smallest species of
honeybees in the world. These dwarf
honey collectors are known to en-
tomologists as Apis aorea. Their hon
eycombs are no larger than a child's
hand, and the cells are about the size
of a small pinhead. This honey is ez'
cellent. as is the wax. The little crea
lures build the comb on the branch of
q low tree. and as they have not to
provide for winter they work all the
year through, raising broods like them
selves. In the same land there is a
species of giant bees. Apis dorsata, as
large as field cricket. These mon
sters of the bee world build honey
combs that are from six to seven feet
In length, four or more in width ano
which weigh from 300 to 400 pounds
each.-HarperS

AMERICAN CORN.
In its Sturdy Vigor II Is Representa-.
tive of Our People.


Indian corn is a native Of America.
The Indians cultivated it. when the
white man first came, and their legends
carried it back to Manitou, or Great
Spirit. from whom it came as his
choicest gift to man. says the Wash
ington Post. Without it the earlier
settlements would have perished.
It grows in all parts Of the United
States and in its every stage presents
varied charms and attractions, more
alluring to the eye than waving fields
of wheat or rice. the white cotton or
the splendid sugar cane, with which 1t
vies in stateliness and outranks in its
gorgeous and changeful hues Of green.
One-third of the human family lives
on rice, but it is not the third that
counts. The date palm is everything
to the desert dweller SO is corn to
the American, although often indirect
ly. He eats It on the cob and off,
makes of it innumerable kinds Of food
and turns 1t into hogs and cattle.
In its sturdy vigor Indian corn is
representative of the people. 1t strikes
its tap root deep into the earth. while
the lateral roots reach out in every di-
rection. 1t droops under the long
drouth. but given two or three rains
toward caring time 1t yields harvest
that puts the gloomy prophets to
shame

A colonial Shrew who was threat

CALIFORNIA; BIG TREES.

They Were First Seen by White Man.
John BidweIl, In 1841.
1t was on June 20, lS41, that John
Bidwell discovered the big trees" of
California. He was the first white
man. so far as we know. who ever be-
held those monarchs of the forest.
Nine years later hunter named
Dowd was led into the company OF the
forest kings by Il bear that he was
chasing. and it was by Dowd that the
knowledge Of the monster trees was
spread abroad. but to Bidwell belongs
the distinction of having been the first
civilized man to gaze upon the wonder
full trees.
The big trees" as the mighty Sc
quota are called. are found in Calave-
ras county. Cal. chiefly In two
groves" the Calaveras and the Mari
posa. at an altitude Of about 5000 feet
above the sea- They are probably the
remains Of extensive woods belonging
to long past epoch. Unfortunately
few of them are left. there being only
Il few hundred all told.
These mighty conifers are easily the
most remarkable of all trees both In
age and in bulk They are from 200 to
400 feet in height and from Is to AZ
feet in diameter-Louisville Herald.

Care With Which 1t Is Guarded From
Fire and Thieves.
1t is very doubtful whether the Brit
ish museum could ever be burned
down. 1t is more likely to be swamped
first. There Is enough water stored
there in tanks to last for many days
continuous pumping In case by any
chance the ordinary supply gave out.
Every policeman on the premises.
too, Is also fireman, being especially
trained before he takes up his duties.
There is not nook or corner in the
remotest part Of the building which
could not be deluged in two minutes
if necessity arose.
Not only is there little chance OF tile
museum itself being burned down. but
also any building near it. for that mat
ter. for the museum looks after them.
too, hardly less carefully.
Thieves have just about as much
chance as fire has. Immediately after
closing every gallery and every room
in the building is gone through. search
ed and locked up. and then the whole
process is repeated again an hour lat
er, this Drecaution being directed
against fire rather than thieves.
