pic Demand for Queen Bees.

Between 500 and 900 requests for
purebred queens have been received
at the experiment station from bee
keepers of the state The officials will
find it impossible to supply more than
part of this demand, but this year 8
applications will be filed and supplied
next season in the order in which re-
quests have been received. The great
er part Of the queens will be reared
and shipped during the months of
July and August. The queens are be-
ing sold at so cents each and none are
being sent out of the state 1t is hoped
that 500 queens will be reared this
year, 1000 next year an6 as many
more the following season as possible
In time, it is hoped that every bee
keeper in the state will be supplied
with new purebred queens. With
these he will be able to provide his
entire apiary with pure strain.

800 Men in w. N. 6.

Under the new army reorganiza-
ton law, the Hay-Chamberlain bill
as passed by congress, the Wiscon-
from $500 men, the present strength,
to approximately 10000 men and the
annual cost will be proportionately
greater, reaching well above 100000.
Such was the view expressed by
Adjt. Gen. Orlando Holway of the
Wisconsin National Guard, but he said
no definite statement could be made
until the president has given direc-
tions for the organization of the mill
tia under the new law. How many or
CARNATIONS will be added depends al
together upon the action taken by the
federal authorities and that cannot be
foretold
General Holway said he could speak
only from a general understanding of
the new national law, copies of which
he has asked the federal authorities
to forward to him.
Gov. l.. Philip said that he has
practically the same understanding
of the new law as has General Hol-
way; that the militia will be about
trebled under it and the cost proper
tionately increased.
Under the law passed by the last
legislature there is appropriated $780,
600 for the support of the militia and
under it the various organizations have
been greatly strengthened, SO that
now when the boys go into camp next
August there will be $500 men gath
cred at Camp Douglas.
General Holway said that under the
new federal law the state militiamen
will get little. more pay, and while
this will not be great it will help some
to pave the way for enlistment. AS
it is, however, the Wisconsin militia
is well recruited and stands high in
the records of training and efficiency.
General Holway said that he will mus
ter in two new field batteries, one at
Green Bay and one at Racine, about
800 men and officers in the two, be-
fore June II. The signal corps organ
lied at La Crosse, rs men, the first
unit of the kind in the militia, will
also be mustered in at the same time,
SO as to be ready for the annual field
camp at Camp Douglas, which opens
August IS.

Militia to Get More Paw

Madlson.-If the National Guard
companies are organized the same
as the regular army companies as
soon as the new army bill goes into
effect, there will be a certain number
of privates in each company getting
more pay for attending drill than the
balance of the privates, for there are
to be 10 first class privates in each
company, who will draw SIS a mGatb,
while the average private gets SIS.

J. j. HIPS Last Donation.

Milwaukee.-The last gift to
charity of James J. Hill was when, in
April, he gave $4,000 to Marquette
university of Milwaukee. Marquette
was asking for half a million dollars
for endowment and, with 100000
raised, one local philanthropist offered
100000 if another 100000 were raised
within two days, and thus complete
the half-million fund Hill had often
promised to aid the school some time
and when this emergency was told him
by telegraph he wired S25, 900, complet-
ing the necessary amount.

Alaska,s Mineral output.

The Alaska mining industry as a
whole was more prosperous in 1915
than in any previous year This is in
dicated by the value of the total min
eral output, which is estimated to have
been $32,000O00, compared with $40,
064,963 for 1914. The highest value
for amy previous year was in 1906,
when Alaska produced $23,37S, ABS
worth of minerals, but this was ut a
time when the bonanza placers of Fair
banks and Nome were yielding their
greatest returns, says United States
geological survey bulletin. The high
value of the mineral output In 1915
was due In large measure to the extra
ordinary amount of copper that was
mined. Preliminary estimates indi-
cate this to be S3.s50,O00 pounds. val
ued at $t4 100000.

SCIENCE INVENTION.
Cleaning Automobile Lamps.

Much of the efficiency of the electric
or parabola lamp depends upon the
cleanliness of the rehectors, says the
Automobile Dealer and Repairer AS
a rule, the reacctors are silver plated
and highly polished. They require diff
ferent treatment from the gas head
lights, as the latter are of glass and are
not as easily scratched. If the electric
headlight becomes dirty do not wipe 1t,
but employ stream of cold water to
displace the dust or dirt and permit
the surface to dry by the air.
If the reaectors become dull after
continued service they can be partially
restored by using soft chamois, with
red rouge or crocus. This material
should be used sparingly. and the
chamois must be soft as well as free
from wrinkles. Place wad of cotton
about the size of an egg within the
chamois This will afford a smooth
surface for wiping.
When properly used crocus will not
scratch the silver plate. Moisten the
chamois with alcohol, then apply the
crocus to the chamois. Press very
lightly and wipe with rotary motion.

GARAGE Ventilation.

AS we understand it-and surely
there is no possibility OF too clear in
formation upon the subject-there are
two kinds Of dangerous gases incident
to running the automobile, carbon di-
oxide and carbon monoXide, says the
Automobile Dealer and Repairer Car
bon dioxide is q nonsupporter of life.
and, although not in the strict sense
poisonous gas, TO remain In an at
mosphere of 1t for any length of time
would be likely to prove fatal. Thus
It is that to stay in the vicinity Of the
exhaust even for n little while and
where 1t cannot be dlssipated quickly
by the air, as 1t is very heavy gas,
causes headache or faintness. Carbon
monoxide, 1t appears, is the product
Of incomplete combustion and Is far
more fatal in its effects.
The lesson Is easy and simple, 1t Is
that an engine should not be run more
than few minutes in n closed garage
