WAYCROSS MAN
MAKING FORTUNE
IN BEE BUSINESS

J. ]. Wilder, of Waycross, who
owns approximately 10000 colonies
of bees is, perhaps, the largest in
dividua1 bee owner in the world,
certainly the largest in the United
States. Mr.. Wilder came to Waycross
little more than year ago from
CordeIe and started the manufacture
of bee hives, which business has
grown steadily until now he has
the largest factory for the manu-
facture of bee supplies in the south
ern states. A trip through his fac
DRY will be of interest to any one.
And to hear Mr.. Wilder relate the
history of the bee, it's habits, and
facture the honey is a treat to any
one who has never studied bees.
In addition to the manufacture
Of bee supplies, Mr.. Wilder has also
packing plant where he packs
honey in cans, jars and other con-
tainers. The capacity Of this plant
is several thousand gallons per
day, depending upon the size of
the packages. The honey is first
thoroughly filtered as it is trans
ferred from the original barrel to
the tank from which it is bottled
or canned. Then it is drawn from
these tanks into the cans or bottles
and sealed Immediately so that it

thing like $4,000 worth of honey
which he is shipping to all parts Of
the country. It is not an unusual
thing for him to ship out a carload

Lacks Three Senses, but
Is Normal Otherwise

Nothing more serious than mumpS
was the cause Of a Canadian soldier
being discovered who is claimed to be
the most remarkable man in the
world. This is az unquestionable
conclusion to be drawn from a de-
scr1pt1on of the extraordinary war
rior given in THE London Lancet"
The man was originally a Breton
sailor. He emigrated to Canada
eight years ago, and enlisted in the
Canadian army. Later he developed
mumps and was sent to a zSilitary
hospital, where his remarkable quail
tiles were discovered.
1t was observed that the patient
was we'll developed, powerful look
ing man Of very cheerful, even tenn
permanent, good natured and far re-
moved from the neurotic Or hys-
terical type. But he was found to
be almost entirely devoid of sensa-
ton.
He is insensitive to pain and has
out any anaesthetic. His body is
plentifully strewn with the scars of
wounds and burns that has has in
fl1cted on himself for bets or to as
tonish the on-lookers. The author
of the account in 1.-The Lancet" tells
of seeing him hold a burning ma ah
against the skin Of his arm and then
pick off the charred fiber. He has
never suffered from headache, tooth
ache or pain of any other descrip-
ton.
1.-THE patient possesses no sense of
touch. He cannot feel the ground
with his feet, and has to control
his movements by sight. He has a
consequent difficulty in walking at
night. There is a complete inability
to recognize objects placed in his
hand when his eyes are shut.
He cannot distinguish between heat
or cold, whether in the temperature
Of food or of the weather, and fever
and chills cause him to perspire or
shiver, but without any sensation of
cold or heat.
No sense of muscular position
seems present and the man says that
he cannot tell whether his arms or
legs are moving or not. He has no
sense Of fatigue and the only way
that he IS made aware of failing
strength after prolonged and violent
effort is by his falling to the
ground.
He is unable to find his nose with
out guiding his hands by sight and
II he moved about. when his eyes
are closed he is ignorant of the
fact.
All notion of smell is absent. Even
Tuning nitric acid was ineffective
when strongly inhaled. a
The man is mentally sound and
rather above than below the average
of intelligence. AS a child he appears
to have had a slight sense of touch,
and he dates its complete diSap-
pearance from the time when he
had an attack of yellow fever in
Sangal at the age of seventeen. His
sight and hearing, however, seem to
be normal.

Grasshopper Pest Ruins
Valuable Cabbage Crop

Jacob Byers, who planted cabbages
estimated by experts to be worth
$4,000, is facing loss Of this crop
by grasshoppers. They are in his
fields at Mt. Pleasant, Pa, by the
thousands. They are green, resem-
bling those found in Africa, accord
ing to scientists who have visited
Byers' farm.
The grasshoppers cut the cabbage
leaves and go into the head before
it has matured. The entire crop OF
cabbage is of a late variety so tina
Byers has been unable to market any
