BEES DRIVE OUT WORKERS
Welsh Manufacturing Plant Has Come
to Look for Annual Invasion
Of the Insects.

For the tenth successive autumn a
hourishing mineral water factory at
Cardiff, Wales, carried on by Messrs.
Smith & Co., is being invaded by bees,
which come in huge companies.
The firm has consulted local bee
keepers and experts, but no one can
say where the bees come from, al
though bee keepers in neighboring
suburbs state that they have lost
1arge numbers lately. Bee experts say
they may come from many miles
around.
4 curious fact is that although
Messrs. Smith have been "honored''
by these armies Of bees for ten years,
another mineral water factory nearly
opposite and another round the corner
have been left alone. The bees come
every morning as soon as day breaks
and depart when the sun goes down,
or, rather those of them do who have
mot fattened themselves too much on
ahe little pools Of syrup which are al
ways to be found on slabs and utensils

Convictions in the police courts

week Of prohibition the saloons were
permitted to do business from three
to six in the afternoon. Convictions
jumped to thirty-f1ve, and arrests for
drunkenness to fourteen. Next. the ga.

hours each day. Convictions Jumped
to eighty-eight, and arrests for drum

all restrictions were withdrawn. and
the convictions numbered 109. the ar.

Heights of Lions and Tigers.

Three feet or a little over is the
real height of good-sized lions and
tigers, and when sportsnen realize
what an extra six inches or nine
inches added to the stature involves
in increased length and general bulk
to balance the known proportions OF
the animals I am equally sure they
will admit that no lion ever scaled
anything like four feet at the shoul-
der. and that the height measure
ments of dead specimens give quite
a false idea of the actual heights OF
the animals in life.

Juarez. Mex, December Pa flying
wedge of federal troops swept into rebel
territory today, and adopting the tao
ties of guerilla warfare began cam
paign to destroy railroad bridges and
telegraph lines, according to rebel re-
PORTS.
Their first act was to cut off commune
cation between Gen. Francisco Villas 6OO0
rebels at Chihuahua and the rebel base
at Juarez. By pulling down telegraph
wires south of Juarez the federals tenn
porarily isolated Villa IN chihuahua so
far as direct communication was con-
cerned.
The small federal band went out from
Ojinaga, on the border. and was believed
tc have been commanded by Gen. Ynez
Salazar, who is we'll seasoned In guerilla
warfare. The federals' plan as under
stood by the rebel chiefs is to operate
extensively over northern Mexico, and by
working in circles to destroy all prop
erty that might be of use to the rebels
without engaging the latter In q fight
According to report 5alazar's men were
headed for the Casas Grandes district
west of the railroad running from Juarez.
and were intending to burn houses and
other property. In this district are To-
Gated comparatively ricn agricultural and
grazing lands, cultivated by Mormon col
onies. Most of the Mormors have left.
The rebels believe the federals will form
nothing more than fugitive band, de-
stroying what property they can reach
and disappearing before they can be
overtaken Extensive destruction Of rail-
roads and telegraph lines would handicap
the rebels but SO far no serious damage
has been done, as the wires between
Juafez and Chihuahua soon can be re-
paired.
Rebel headquarters held to the belief
that Salazar took only a small part of
the federal army from Ojinaga 1t also
was said that Salazar, after crossing the
rebel line of communication and tempor-
arily crippling 1t, might never again be
heard from. Salazar had only what are
