MAN a VICTIM OF ANGRY BEES
Pennsylvania, Center Of Swarm,
Hangs to Tree BY Own Hands for
TWO and Half Hours.

Philadelphia. - With a bushel of
wild honey bees clinging to his body,
Milton Robb Of Coleville, was COM
PEELED to cling with one arm to tree,
So feet above the ground, for two ana
q half hours, while his brother ran
two miles down the mountain for
help. says a Bellefonte (Pa.) dispatch
to the Philadelphia Record.
The brothers had heard of the
great swarm OF honey-gatherers on
the mountain, and Milton, well
equipped, had resolved that. with his
brother Abe's help, he would capture
the bees and bring them to hives at
his home. With his trusty saw Milt
climbed the tree, while Abe, with tub
and blanket directly underneath, was
to hive the honeymakers when the
great cluster on the limb should fall.
But Milt miscalculated the weight
Of the bees, for, when the limb was
about severed, he could not hold it,
and 1t twisted downward and in
against his body before it broke Off
and dropped to the ground.
Milt'sl first thought was for Abe, and
he called to him to look out, but Abe
had already looked, and as Milt puts
it, was running up the mountain
through the brush like a Texas
steer"
Milt had little time to give thought
to him, for when the limb swished
against him the queen bee was
knocked on and took refuge under his
left arm, whichshe had flung around a
limb of the tree to hold himself from
falling. Quicker than you can tell
it the bees followed their queen, and
swarmed on Milt, completely covering
his left side, shoulder and arm, and
partly encircling the tree. Some of
the bees crawled up hih trousers leg,
some up his shirt sleeves and others
lit on his face.
Precipitation started out all over his
body, and streamed down his face,
and then the bees began to sting.
They crawled in his ears, his nose,
and even his mouth; but he dared
not make a move for fear of being
stung to insensibility, when he would
lose his hold and be dashed to death
IS feet below on the rocks
Abe had a great hustle for assist
ant rescuers; but he came with them,
and with ladder and ropes they
saved Milt, stung almost to death, and
he has since been in bed, attended by
a doctor.

The Swallow, a Good Friend Of the
Farmer.

fdFnfers
each of these nests protrude the head
OF four to six fledglings which look
to be all mouths. All the children
of the farm have climbed to the pop
ulous nests on the rafters," perhaps
not as did the children Of "Evangel-
ine'' to seek that wondrous stone,
which the swallow brings from the
shore of the sea to restore the sight
of its fiedglings," but just to see the
speckled eggs or the big-mouthed
birds.
The swallow is one Of the latest OF
the migratory birds to come in the
spring and one OF the first to depart
in the fall. They spend the winters
in Central and South America. In
summer some of them go far north.
even to the Arctic regions.
Before the white man settled here
and built barns and sheds. the swal-
lows plastered their nests in the pro-
tecting inches Of rocky cliffs. This
habit Of nesting wild has been aban-
doned except in sparsely settled sec
tions.
Few birds surpass the swallow in
its powers Of flight. Its long wings
and small, light body enable 1t to
dart through the air at the rate of a
mile a minute. AS it pleases it can
mount to great heights, or just skim
above the ground or the surface Of
the water. 1t spends much Of its
time in the air and there it gathers
most Of its food, which consists Of
various kinds of flies, beetles, bees
and wasps.
Sparrows seem to look upon the
swallow as an object of their especial
hatred. They take the swallows
nests for themselves and often de-
stroy them seemingly for no purpose
but in a spirit Of malice or mischief.
The habit Of the sparrows in driv-
ing away birds which are useful
should encourage all who can to help
destroy our chief bird pest. Swallows
