Eighty eight Pounds of Honey Found
in Tree.

Eighty-eight pounds of honey, the
largest amount taken from wild bees in
recent years in the vicinity of Bellows
Falls, was found by John P. Lawrence
and Ralph M. Durfee in hemlock tree
a short distance north of Bellows Falls
on the farm of l.. C. Lowell.
Some Of the honey was made this sea-
son and the remainder'tw or three sea-
sons ago. 1t was in excellent condition.
The honey filled three large galvanized
iron pals and an ammunition box and
the two men left a large amount in
the tree. So great was the amount of
honey that they could not take the
swarm to Bellows Falls.
Mr.. Lawrence has had many years
experience in hunting honey and this is
the largest find he ever made. He owns
everal swarms which he found wild in
the woods.

"Father of Modern Screw"

Jesse Ramsden, an English inven.
tor, is credited with being the father
of the modern screw. He began ia
ITS to pay especial attention to the
making of screws by machinery, and
his invention may be regarded as the
first example of the modern form of
screw-cutting lathe. although so years
before there had been made in France
machine for cutting the thread on
the fusees of watches, and 200 years
before Jacob Bessoni had designed a
rude lathe for cutting wooden screws.

WeIIington's Goodness.

The Duke of Wellington was one
day sitting at his library table when
the door opened and without any an
nouncement in stalked a figure of sin
gularly i'll omen.
"Who are your asked the duke in
his short and dry manner, looking up
without the slightest change of coun-
tenance upon the intruder.
81 am Apollyon. l am sent here to
kill YOU
xiii me? Very odd"
Il am Apollyon and must put you to
DEATH
obliged to do it todayY
Il am not told the day or the hour,
but | must do my mission"
Every inconvenient; very busy; great
many letters to write. Call again or
write me word. I'll be ready for you"
The duke then went on with his cor
rc&pondence. The maniac, appalled,
probably by the stern, immovable old
gentleman, backed out of the room and
in half an hour was in an asylum.
