BEES FOLLOW OWNER.
He Moved From Country to City, and
They Moved, Too.

St. Louis Dispatch to New York Sun
Edward C. Eidmann, of Belleville, a
railway mail clerk and bee fancier,
last fall moved into the uptown dis
trict of Belleville, and by remarkable
will power separated himself from
his bees forever, he thought.
He labored under this apprehension
until yesterday, when he discovered
such a thing was impossible. When
the bees realized that they had been
deserted, they followed their master.
Eidmann awoke to find his bed room
window screen covered with the in
sects. Further investigation showed
they had prepared permanent quar-
tiers in a shed in the back yard.
In order to make sure they were
the same insects he had fostered last
year Eidmann inspected the hives at
his former home in the country. lie
found the place destitute OF bees.
Eidmann hopes he can bribe his city
neighbors to tolerate the bees with
honey. Otherwise he will have to
move back in the country, where his
pets can be with him unmolested.

TAMES BAD MEN.
Sheriff Hamburger Praises Gotham,
and incidentally Mentions His
Own Deeds.

New York Tribune.
The fame of "Jack" Abernethy as
United States Marshall in Oklahoma
and fighter of wolves with his bare
hands compared with what Sheriff Jul
ius Hamburger has achieved is like
the msuic Of nickelodeon trying tc
drown out The Metropolitan Opera
company
Away down in Stuth Carolina even
they know of the progress of the New
York sheriff. John Holder, of Glen
dale, S. c., read with admiration about
the exploits of Sheriff Hamburger, and
decided he would like to enlist in the
Hamburger army of deputy $heriffs:. So
he wrote a .etter telling of his desire.
Holder is 21 years Cid anil able-boc-
led, and expresses his readiness to
come to New York if the sheriff had
need of his services. "Let me hear
from you socn," he writes. That part
of his request will be granted, for
Sheriff Hamburger has written to
Holder telling him he could not ap-
point a man who lived SO far away.
The sheriff said in his letter:
"I must first direct your attention
to the fact that there are no bad men
or gunmen in New York-no more
than there are in any other city. A
certain element has talked of pulling
down our glorious red, white and
blue flag, throwing dynamite bombs
and committing murder. But l stop
ped them and never fired a shot. I
went among them as Daniel entered
the den of lions and flung their ugly
talk back into their wicked faces.
There are no gunner here. New
York is the great imperial city of the
greatest, noblest and richest country
on the globe-a city that every man,
whether he lives in the Ritz-Cariton
or in Hester street, loves like hunt
er loves his spaniel
CAS- for myself, when the time
comes for me to pass away to the
Great Unknown 1 want to die with
the American flag in my hand and my
face toward the Statute of Liberty"

rule forbidden to do so.

This rule, however, is to all intents
and purposes dead letter. Whether
in the shops or at outdoor labor it is
impossible to enforce it. The first
accomplishment which a man learns
in prison is to speak without moving
his lips: News travels through a
prison as quickly as in the free world.
A prison doctors wife, for ex-
ample, was taken i'll one evening.
Next morning the doctor visited cell
the occupant of which, being unwell,
had not been out of his cell the pre-
vious day. The first thing the man
said was, 81 hope Mrs. Ms better
today, sir
They, say that when Jabez Bal
four was let out of Parkhurst he did
not know that Mr. Churchill was in
Parliament. The story is doubtful
All prisoners who care to know what
is going o can easily find out. Bits
of newspaper are picked up outside
and smuggled in and passed from
hand to hand; parties road clearing
get a sight of. contents bills of news
papers outside shops and every new
conner tells others all he knows of
what is going on. 1t is point of
honor for a convict always to pass
news on. He seldom if ever fails to
do so.

HANDY LITTLE BATTERY.
How and Why Useful Device Pro-
duces Supply of Electricity.

The electric battery generates a sup
ply of electricity by chemical action
It differs from the magnetic or dyna-
mo; which generates electricity from
engine, says the Electrical News
When this chemical action ceases the
supply of electricity ceases and the
battery is worn out. SO far as human
ewes can see the battery is just as
good as it ever was, but it will moi
produce any current worthy of the
name.
All batteries consist of three essen
tials, the two metal plates and the
chemical solutions. The plates are
called electrodes and the chemical is
the electrolyte. Dry batteries are dry
in name only. If they we're absolutely
dry, they would not work at all, The
only difference between dry battery
and a wet battery is that in the for
mer the electrolyte is in the form OF
paste and in the latter it is solu-
ton.
hoN Energy is Produced.
The action of al batteries is about
the same regardless of kind The
plates usually consist of zinc and cop
per, or zinc and carbon. The chemical
may be diluted sulphuric acid, blue
vitriol or a number of other chemicals,
This chemical solution attacks and
destroys the zinc plate when the CIR
cult is complete When the circuit IS
broken the chemical action ceases,
and, consequently, No currant 1oWS.
When the circuit is completed the
chemical Immediately attacks the
metal plates. 1t eats up, or burns up,
the zinc plate This action produces
energy. Some of the energy is vast
ed in heat, some is changed ioto cleo
trical energy which flows out over
the wires to ignite the gasoline charge

to attack the first warden who enter
ed one of their cells with leg of
the cell table, capture his ward keys,
then that the escaping. prisoner should
liberate his comrades. The Warder in
the gate lodge was next to be over
i powered, and after that the governor
was to be chained to the inside of
the gate.
The whole plot, with the date for
its accomplishment, was actually in
writing, and as Usk prison is very
small one, and as three of the men
were desperate characters, it would
probably have succeeded had not one
of the conspirator's hung back at the
very last moment and proceeded to
give the whole affair away.
The very first thing that will occur
to the reader, says Answers, is how
on earth did these convicts manage to
plot together?
AS every one knows, talking is
strictly prohibited in any prison,
while the possession of pen or pencil,
or any writing materials except a
slate, is looked upon as a most SER
ious offense. Yet here we have four
men in separate cells, all in constant
communication one with another and
with the details of their plot actually
written out in full How did they
work it?
Three of the men were appealing
against their sentences, and were
given pen and ink to write their ap-
peals. Although the writing mater
ials were taken away at once, yet
one of the lags had already made an
ink pot out of cohbler's wax used in
making mail bags, and hidden some
ink in 1t. A pen was easily made OF
feather, and blank sheets extracted
from library books and such like
the paper.
The "stiffs," or messages, were ex-
changed in chapel, hidden inside
HYMN books. There is no form Of
communication against which the
prison officers have to be more care
fully on their guard than the "stiff"
or secret letter, and any man in whose
cell such a letter is found is certain
to be punished.
Any morsel of paper is used, and,
in spite of the vigilance of Warders
scraps of paper are always to be had
by any man who wants them. The
outside public have an idea that pri-
soners communicate with one anoth-
er by codes or knocks on the walls
of their cells. The old French con-
victs used to do something of this sort,
and according to Prince Kropotkin,
modern Russian prisoners immured
in fortresses have such methods Of
communication.
But in British prisons knockings are
out of date and if any one were fool
ish enough to try the Morse code he
would very soon be found out. 1t is
at work and at exercise that the men
talk to one another. Debtors and
frst-class prisoners are allowed to
converse at exercise, and so are con-
victs VINO reach the highest stages,
but the ordinary lag is by prison

THE DUST WE BREATHE.
Contains Many Strange Things Not
Alike in Any Two Cities.

Chicago Examiner
1t is impossible to go about, especial
ly about the streets Of busy city,
without breathing quantities of dust.
But dust is word that really
covers wide range 1t really means
minute particles of anything what
ever that can be stirred up sufficiently
to float about in the air for ever so
small period Consequently the dust
you may breathe into your lungs while
in city may be entirely different
from the dust you breathe while
walking through big market district
or manufacturing district.
Dust has been analyzed, and il a
small quantity of it most surprising
variety of things found. On fairly
clean residential street the dust will
generally be found to consist OF iron
from horseshoes and nails in, mems
Shoes and from the tires of wagons,
particles of leather, wool, cotton,
feathers, linen and such things from
peoples clothes, bits of wood, and,
paper, clay, and such things from the
dirt that accumulates and is ground
up fine in the street. There is also a
small quantity of bacteria.
In busy street, where there are
many factories and much trucking,
the quantity Of metal particles in dust
increases: also the quantity of horn
and hoof, which are the same, from
horses feet, and fine rubber from auto
truck tires, while the metals may in
clude bits of copper, brass, tin, lead,
steel and even gold and silver from
the manufacturing plants, as bits of
the metal fly out Of the factories in
the dust.
On a hot, dry day in the slums,
where there is always a lot of gar
bage that lies about and dries, there
are quantities of vegetable matter,
and, of course, more bacteria. But on
a country road 100 miles from a big
city and ten miles or so from town
the dust is mostly bits of fine sand,
particles of wood and leaves, and
flowers and seeds. Very little metal
is found in this dust, practically no
paper or bits of rubber, and the per
cent of bacteria is extremely low.
The dust is never alike in two
streets, nor does it average alike in
two cities. Pittsburg dust contains
great quantities Of metal and also
SCOT or charcoal. Scranton dust con-
tains much carbon or coal. Lansing,
Mich, dust contains great deal OF
copper. Chicago dust has stock
yards, and so on. Every city has
dust peculiar to itself, or to the lead
ing industries in that city. Milwau-
kea has dust laden with hour anu
bits of wheat chaff; in st. Augustine
the dust is loaded with fine particles
of coral from the streets, which are
paved with coral.
But while some particular thing
predominates in dust, there is gEner-
ally in every city quantity of metals
and woollens and paper and rubber
and wood and such things in it. Just
as soon as anything from solid gold
to a bit of dried banana skin be-
comes ground up fine enough it falls
into the great family of minute partl-
cles known as dust.

REGULAR MEETING
CITY COUNCIL
ROUTINE BUSINESS DISPOSED OF
IN SHORT SESSION AT CITY
HALL LAST NIGHT.

At the regular weekly meeting of
the city commissioners last night all
were present with the exception of
commissioner Bridgman, the session
was short and devoid of interest, the
main thing discussed was that of re-
fencing the city water shed that
seems to be in bad way, many of
the posts rotted off and the fence is
down generally. The matter was de-
ferred until the next meeting for ac-
ton.
1t is understood that petition will
be presented to the mayor and board
of commissioners at their next meet
ing, asking that some steps be taken
to make needed repairs on the Carne-
gle library and place the building in
a safe condition. There is a mag
niticent hall connected with that in
stitution that at present is little used
from the fact that the ciizens of the
city as whole deem the building un-
safe. Whether their fears are really
groundless or not, is the question for
the city commissioners with the aid
of a competent architect to decide,
and if it is, to take immediate steps
to remedy the defects, There are a
of musical clubs and several
ladies organizations who would like
to use the hall for a meeting place |
and would voluntarily use their means
to make it attractive, but with the
present bugaboo hanging over the |
it is hard to get any one
here for anything at all.

Creeks Confer on Payments.

NIuskogee, Okla, Dec. 3l-At a con-
ference of prominent men of the
Creek nation here Monday afternoon
it was decided to petition the sec
retary Of the interior to permit a
short session of the Creek council to
be held in the near future The
Creeks wish to settle equalization
matters and to decide finally concern
ing the original treaty offer Of pay
ment of 5000 per capita.
The conference here was called by
Moty Tiger, chief of the Creek ma
tion. 1t was brought forth that many
of the allotments of the Creek In
dians are valued at far below $l,0iO,
and an effort will be made to have
the government pay the difference in
money. The land recently was ap-
praised.
