Search Being Made.
Madrid, May 3.-An attempt was made
here today, evidently by anarchists. to
kill the papal nuncio Of the Spanish
Court. A bomb containing twenty-five
dynamite cartridges was discovered be-
meath the veranda of the official resi-
dence of the Papal Embassy. The an
archists who plotted against the life of
the nuncio evidently learned, after plant
ing the bomb, that the Catholic Ambas-
sador was not at home, and postponed
exploding the internal machine.
In the meantime the bomb was found.
The police declare that the machine was
powerful enough to destroy the residence.
A rigid search for the anarchists Is be-
ing made.

MISSING FROM HOME.
Girl Is Found in Hands of Band of
TraffickerS.

New York Oct. 31.-JoSephine Nc
Loughlin, a 14-year-Old girl, missing
from home a week and for whom the
police alarm had been sounded, was
rescued this afternoon from a band of
alleged traffickers in women who had
taken her clothing from her and kept
her prisoner since the night of her
disappearance. A note imploring aid
was written by the girl this morning
and pushed through the shutters of a
window. 1t fluttered down before the
feet of a citizen. He notified the po-
lice who made raid of the place and
took two prisoners.
The girl told the police that she lett
her mothers home on the night of DC
tober % with a young man she hao
met a few days previously, to attend
a dance. Her escort took her, instead,
to n fiat from which she was rescued
today. There she met man and a
woman who confiscated her clothes and
watched her closely.
John Hamilton, one of the girls al
legged captors, was locked up on d
charge of abduction. A girl companion
was charged with disorderly conduct.
She said her name was Elizabeth Clark
and the police, searching their records,
found that her disappearance from
home had been reported month ago

for her. too. had been issued.

BEES ARE REALLY HOT
Insect Develops a Fever That Often
BakeS 1t to Death.

Everyone who has been stung by
bee knows the burning sensation that
accompanies the sting.
This is of course due to the acid that
is injected by the little weapon IN
the bees tail. But the experience has
led to a number of sayings, such as
1.-The hot end of the bee,' and SO on.
1t now appears, however, that the
bee actually is hot. The fever with
which it works sometimes develops into
a temperature so great as to partly COOK
the honey in the hives, and to actually
bake the busy insects themselves. Bee
raisers have only recently found that
this is the reason for the wiping out
of many of their. colonies instead of,
as has been supposed, the presence OF
some unidentified bacilli.
We speak of people getting into a
fever over their work or worry, and 1t
is true that both things do raise the
temperature of human beings. But no
human being ever gets into such a fever
over either as to cook himself to death.
This the bees really do.
The dominant. au-consuming desire of
the worker be is to work. 1t follows
out this impulse until it dies. A bee
will literally work itself to death. That,
in fact, is how all of them die except
those who are destroyed by disease or
accident. The bees and the ants are
the most highly specialized creatures in
the world. ate.. .et L.,
1t appears nova that this highly
specialized breeding of individuals with
single dominant idea only is at
tended by dangers that carry their
lesson to man.
The concentration of energy upon one
task is so great that it keeps the bee
busy every moment satisfying it. Sud
denly there comes a time when the
energy outpaces the work Then up
goes the temperature of the insect and
it burns itself up. In the same way,
If its tasks are impeded the bee wor-
ries The unused work energy stores
itself up more and more, hotter and hot
ter grows the bee until it dies of it's
own fever. The extremely curious thing
is that one hot bee can apparently in
rect a whole hive with it's temperature
and the community burns itself up.-

A WINDOW STORY
Growth of Telephone Strongly
Told in Window Display.
Models of Original Invention
and 1913 Styles Shown.

Stories of the growth of the telephone
necessity is strongly told today in the
unwilling of one of the most attractive
windows ever seen at the Mills store
at Ninth and Kansas avenue. The win
dow display was prepared under the
direction of A J. Mackey, Topeka man
ager of the Bell Telephone company,
and is attracting considerable atten-
ton.
A colonial dame dressed in the lat
est styles of the season of 1876, is seen
operating an exact duplicate of the
original invention of Alexander Graham
Bell. Opposite her and dressed in most
becoming of the new 1918 gowns, is a
model representing the present day use
of the telephone. So striking is the con-
trast between the telephone toy and
plaything of yesterday and the tele-
phone models of today, that hundreds
of people have stopped to admire the
display.
Contrasting the lone telephone used
by Inventor Bell in 1876, is a placard
announcing that today there are s.
100000 Bell phones in daily use.
In Kansas alone there are probably
100000 Bell phones in use,'' said Man
ager Mackey, land in Topeka, the ex-
change carries nearly $500 phones.
When the system was established here
in 1881, there were less than so phones
on the exchange"
The Bell display will remain in To-
peka several days. The same display

TRAINS RUN TOO FAST
Railway Commissioners Point Out
Dangers of Travel.

Washington, Oct 31.-Means of obtain
ing the highest degree of safety in rail-
road travel formed the keynote of today's
final proceedings of the annual conven-

way Commissioners. Commissioner Kill
patrick of Illinois, in a report on safety
appliances urged Immediately definite
action looking to greater safety in rail-
road travel Commissioner Sague of New
ton of the standard signalling system
with the overlap would have prevented
most of the recent accidents on the New
Haven road" He added that many rail-
roads had reduced the speed of their fast
trains, thus increasing the safety of
travel, in his judgment, quite so per cent.
He believed that the reduction of excess
sive speed was an advantage not only TO
Inc public but to the railroads as well.
1T is better policy to run trains behind
time than to take long chances of acct

When Public Printer Ford heard of

discharged H. E. Terry, the messen-

he had not brought the presidents
wife to headquarters.
Terry explained that he asked Mrs.
Wilson to accompany him to Fords
office, but Mrs. Wilson demurred,
saying she wished to be treated as
any other visitor and wanted no spec
ial attention. Ford however main
tanned that Terry's failure to make
known the visit of the presidents
wife was breach of discipline.
When the story got around the
capitol there were several hurried tel
ephone calls to the White House.

ceedings and after Secretary Tum-

something to be proud of-to
be able to look back over a
years expenditure for the

1t has been repeatedly de-

wondered at that it is now the
