BEES MUST BE WARM.
insufficient Insulation of Hives Found to Be Chief Cause of
 Heavy Winter Losses.

1t Is entirely practical, say special ists in the United States Department of Agriculture, for beekeepers to re- duce their winter losses to less than per cent At present the loss is at least one-tenth of Nthe colonies and this minimum is frequently increased to one-ffth or even more.
 This unnecessary waste is ascribed in new publication of the depart ment. Farmers Bulletin No. 695, to two causes, inadequate stores and ex- cessIve heat production, forced upon the bees by insufficient insulation of the hives No beekeeper. declares the bulletin, ever gave a colony too much protection in the winter; if the ma Jor1ty were to give enough, winter losses would be vastly decreased.
 The aim of the beekeeper should be to maintain a temperature about the bees of approximately 57 degrees F. When the temperature in the hive falls below this point, the bees form a cluster Those in the center begin to generate heat by muscular activ- ity, and those on the outside crowd together to prevent the escape of the heat the others are generating The lower the temperature outside of the cluster IS permitted to fall, the more heat must the bees produce inside where the temperature frequentIy reaches 90 degrees or even more in abnormal colonies. Prolonged excess sive heat production exhausts their vitality and even if they survive the winter they are unfit for the task of brood rearing in the spring. This is usually the cause of ''spring-dwind- ings The adult bees. worn out. by the hard winter, die faster than the young ones emerge and the population di- n1inishes.
 Increased heat production also causes increased consumption of stores. This in turn leads to an ac- cumulation of feces with consequent irritation, further activity and more heat production. Sometimes the bees are unable to retain the feces and they are then said to be suffering from dysentery.
 These facts emphasize the neces- sfty of properly insulated hives in any locality where the temperature often falls to 40 degrees F. It is not pos sibie to give the bee hives too much insulation. To give them too little is very easy and practically universal. As a means of insulation any of the

1t is announced officially that the

that 1t was felt strongly at Perugla
and slightly as far north as Ferrara.
In the country places the people
are camping in the open. The town

As details began to arrive in the

around Naples.
At Monterotondo three persons

SHOCK THAT EXTENDS OVER

A terrific earthquake, the strong
est ever felt in Rome, occurred early
and caused a serious panic. people
everywhere rushing from their
houses in terror. Many buildings
were damaged.
The town of Avezzano was virtual

dead being estimated at about 5000
One thousand persons escaped from
the ruins. but most of them were in
iured.
In is estimated that the number of
killed and injured in the earthquake
will reach 50, 900.
There was confusion throughout
the whole of Rome. In some gases it
amounted to terror. The telephone
WAS resorted to by great numbers OF
people at virtually the same time in
endeavors to ascertain the safety of
relatives and friends, and then TO
learn the extent of the damage to the
city. The telephone girls did their
best to meet the emergency. A sys-
TEN of gathering and giving informa-
lion was hurrieily ~inaugurated.
Historic buildings on the Plaza
Colonna, in the center of Rome, were
damaged. as was also the famous
Farnese palace. occupied by the
French embassy. Here a piece of
the stone cornice had fallen.
The belfry of the church of st. An
drea is in danger of falling. and the
building has been surrounded by a
Gordon of police to prevent people
from approaching it.
A large crowd gathered in the
square in front of the Column of
Marcus Aurelius. At a point about
half way up it was seen that the col

A colossal statue at the basilica of
ST. John in Lateran, which occupied a

Rome, fell and was shattered on the
steps of the edifice.
In the Lateran palace, especially
that part occupied by the Profane
Museum. the earthquake caused
cracks of sufficient size to permit out

ANOTHER VERSION.

Maximilien Harden, justly called
the most influential publicist in
Germany" at last offers a statement
of the German case which does
not insult American intelligence.
American conceptions of freedom
and humanity are, 1t will be seen, be-
side the question:
Let us drop our miserable at.
tempts to excuse Germany's action.
Not against our will and as a nation
taken by surprise did we hurl our
selves into this gigantic venture. We
willed 1t. We had to will it. We do
not stand before the Judgment seat
of Europe. We acknowledge no such
Jurisdiction. Our might shall create
a new law in Europe. 1t Is Germany
that strikes. When she has conquer
ed new dominions for her genius,
then the priesthood of all the gods
will praise the God of War.
Germany Is not making this war
to punish sinners, or to free Cypress
ed peoples, and then to rest in the
consciousness of disinterested mag
nanimity. She sets out from the inn
movable conviction that her achieve
ments entitle her to demand more ell
bow room On the earth and wider
outlets for her activity"
Harden is no friend of the corrupt
armament ring or its allies, the mill
tarist party and the feudal aristoc-
racy.
He states the case with a frank re-
cognition of the return to the
medieval doctrine of force-the
good old rule. the simple plan, that
The shall take who has the power, and
he shall keep who can" He says
openly what is implied in all the
other pleas of confession and avoid
ance.
He gives away the German objec-
tive with equal effrontery:
We will remain in the lowlands
of Belgium. to which We will add a
narrow strip of coast toward Calais.
This will close the war, from which
there Is nothing more TO gain. after
having indicated our honor"
AS Lady Tezle says. Suppose We
leave honor out of the question:"
This throws down the gauntlet to
the whole world. II defes every
sanction binding society together. A
pledge is valid until you are strong
enough to break 1t. The voice of the
Belgians or any other people, on their
" government is negligible.
The sanctity Of private contract is
bound up in the inviolability of public
treaty. The right of the individual is
inseparable from the rights of small
but highly civilized people. Germany
is not merely fighting a world in
arms. She is fighting a worlds on
ception OF right and wrong, without
which civilization would be meaning
less.

beaumont & Fletcher.
Thus endeth the reading of the
Safety First lesson for the year 1914.
We have learned the sad lesson that
contributions of life and limb to the
hazards of industry seem inevitable,
and thai a cloud must ever threaten
homes of workmen In Mines, Mill and
Smeltery. as In other occupations
having inherent dangers.
During the calendar year just
closed there have beer a number of
disabling accidents and several sad
fatalities to record. Throughout the
year and n by one as these trag-
edies have been made public by the
Bulletin, we have shared In the sor-
rowing OF bereayed ones, but have
been powerless to lessen the grief or
satisfy the longing of homes bereft
of the bread-winner. We have sym
nathized with unfortunate victims of
works accidents. but without power
TO relieve the physical torture OF the
injured. Our only satisfaction has
been that. AZ contributors to the Ne
