THE BEES AT SCHOOL

The Francis Scott Key school was
7enlivened a few days ago by the sud-
den swarming at school of honey
bees, which clustered together, after
the manner of their kind, and were
,inclined to resent any effort at their
removal.
Two fearless citizens, realizing
what a conflict between the busy
bees and busy lot of school children
would mean, offered to remove the
bees, one agreeing to give the chill
dren such honey as the bees might
make, the other offering to hive them
in a glass hive, so that their habits
could be studied by the school chill
adren.
In all literature no object so small
shas occupied so much space as the
honey bee. From Martial, the Roman
&pigrammatist, to Maurice Maeter-
linck, the Dutch idealist, the life his
tory of the bee has afforded subjects
(which have inspired poets of all races
and climes
Half century ago every school
child was taught the then familiar
verses Of the good old Dr. Isaac
Watts, which are worth reproducing
as a comparison with the modern
ideas:
How doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!
Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God hath made them so;
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For It's their nature to
But, children, you should never let
Such angry passions rise;
Your little hands were never made
To tear each others eyes.
A hive of bees in schoolhouse
would at least keep the children busy.
THE children would learn, that, little
bs he IS, the worker bee can see,
smell, touch, taste and hear just like
themselves, and they may learn that
when the bee dislikes smell he is
very apt TO touch the source OF the

A spirited debate between Senator

question contained more truth thaz
humor.

STOCKING VERMONT STREAMS
More Tr--t to Be Planted This Year
Iran Ever Before.

Persons Interested in fishing will
lie gratified t. earn That th9 state
this year is uh.a- .ak'ng much great
er production o. sh with which to
stock streams than ever before in
its history. There are now set at
the state hatchery at Roxbufy and
the Lyndon Rearing station nearly
two million brook trout eggs, $4,000
lake trout eggs and 10000 landlocked
salmon In addition to these the U.
S. Commissioner has promised lib
eral allotment of steelhead trout
eggs, which may be expected from
the Pacific coast soon. The trout
eggs are now Matching and visitors
at RcXbury during the next two
months will be treated to an interest
ing sight. This is one of the busiest
times of the year for the fish cultur-
list, but since the policy of the COM
mission has been to rear as many
fingerlings as possible, there is no
dull season at the hatcheries. Per
sons desiring fish should make appli-
cation now. In addition to the va
rieties above mentioned as being OBJ
tainable from the state commissioner,
he recommends that applications al
so be made to the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries, Washington, d. c., not on.
ly for the trouts and salmon, but al
so for suitable varieties TO stock the
many lakes and ponds the waters of
which are unsuitable for the salmon
idae. Small mouth black bass, wall
eyed pike and yellow perch are the
kinds best suited to the warmer
waters and to lakes in which the
water may be suitable for trout, but
which by reason of their now being
inhabited by coarse fishes, makes the
planting of trout or salmon impracti-
able. The present stock of eggs at
Roxbury is the largest on record and
the facilities for rearing are much
more extensive than ever before.
Any reader who desires to stock
waters in his neighborhood may OBJ
tain fish, delivered free of charge at
the nearest railroad station, by writ
ing the commissioner, John w. Tit
comb, Lyndonville, asking for one
blank for each stream, pond or lake
it is desired to stock. In towns
where the waters have been stocked
annually for a period of years there
has been an improvement in the fish
ing despite the large number taken
by anglers Stocking once in four
or five years does not appear to give
as proportionately good results as
annual stocking.

There came an opportunity at the
morning session for the takers and
for nearly an hour House bill 1913, re-
lating to transportation of pupils to
central schools was under discussion
before it was killed by vote of 1O2
to SO.
Hardly had the bill for transport
ing school pupils been disposed OF
when Mr. DeMerritt of Waterbury
moved to reconsider Senate bill zUo,
providing for the establishment OF |.
state detention farm, carrying an ap-
preparation of $4,000.
Mr.. Hapgood of Peru raised the
point that one vote already had been
taken on reconsideration and the
chair ruled that this was a new pro-
position and could be reconsidered.
Mr.. Martin of Bennington opposed a
measure carrying so much money
Mr.. Adams of Chelsea, Mr.. Flynn of
Dorset and Mr. Miller of Bethel fay-
ored reconsideration. Mr.. Jones of
Johnson opposed Mr.. Wright of
Westminster favored reconsidera-
ton. Mr.. Hulett of Rutland city and
Mr.. Wright of Williston opposed.
Mr.. Adams of Chelsea demanded the
yeas and nays but withdrew his de-
mand in favor of rising vote, but
Mr.. Jose of Johnson demanded the
yeas and nays and reconsideration
was ordered by a vote of 1O3 to ~.
Mr.. DeMerritt moved to amend by
substituting $4,000 instead OF $780,
600 as the sum for establishing the
institution; $500 instead of $4,000 for
main tenance for the balance of the
year: $4,000 instead of $4,000 for
maintenance for the balance OF the
ing. The amendments were agreed
to- On motion of Mr.. Donnelly of
Vergennes the yeas and nays were
ordered and the bill was passed lO5
to 50.
The Senate reconsidered and pass
ed in concurrence at the morning
session House bill ASS, an act to care
for training and education of feeble
minded children, recalled from the
House. Mr.. McCuen asked for sus-
pension of the rules in order that 1t
might be reconsidered and the bill
amended Motion to reconsider
agreed TO. MIR. MeCuen moved TO
amend by striking out section g, and
insert new section, giveing new
powers to the commissioner to es-
tabilsh the school in connection
with some institution already es-
tablished. 1t was so voted and the
bill was passed in concurrence.

A MER|CANS FLEE
IN PANIC FROM
MEXICO CITY
Ambassador Wilson Puts Houses
Under White Flag
3 0 M BARD MENT HEAVY
Dead in Two Days Fighting Not Less
Than 300 Including TWO Am
ercan Women.

Mexico City, Feb 12.-Anticipatins
an early resumption of hostilities to-
morrow, more than GOO Americans
fed tonight from their homes to tenn
porary abodes in the outskirts of the
city where the danger from the fire
will be minimized.
Ambassador Wilson, on informa-
ton from the national palace, knew
that the government planned a crush
ing blow and determined to save the
Americans, if possible, rented num-
erous houses, to which, under flags
OF truce, agents of the embassy hur-
ried in automobiles as many women
and children as would agree to be
transported
The capital was quiet tonight, but
the fugitive foreigners filled with hor
ror by the frightful bombardment of
the past two days, needed little urg-
ing.
While the bombardment was far
heavier today than on Tuesday, the
probable loss of life was smaller.
This was due to the lack of any eff
fort to force the assault by the fed
erals.
The casualties are estimated at not
less than 300 dead and 1900 wounded
in the two days fighting. Two Am
erican women are dead, shot to
pieces by shell. They were Mrs. II.
w. Holmes and Mrs Percy Griffiths.
Several Americans have been wound
ed But the total number of native
non-combatants injured today was I'M
doubtedly small. Experience is fast
teaching the citizens to keep out OF
the line of fire when possible.
