Bees Block Liner Gangway.

Thousands of bees held up passen-
gers about to embark on the liner
Moldavia at Southampton, England.
The bees settled down comfortably at
the foot Of the passenger gangway and
defied attempts to move them. A hose
was tried, but this merely melted the
bees and caused them to buzz in
clouds, scattering onlookers. Eventu-
ally order was restored and embarka-

The week end cruises Of the local
divisions aboard the training launch
assigned here are becoming so popu-
lar. according to Lieut.. Sullivan, that
It is necessary each week to turn
men away. The boat assigned here
is said to be wholly inadequate Tor the
purpose for which it was sent here.
There is a very great need here for
the assignment of a larger training
vessel. it was pointed out, and 1t was
indicated that steps will be taken in
the near future to poiht out to the
Navy Department the demand of en-
listed men for opportunity to take
week end training duty without pay.
It was said that there are vessels
tied up in some of the navy yards
which could be put to very valuable
use If assigned here for training pur-
poses. Many other Naval Reserve
units throughout the country have
such vessels, but the local outfit has
not had satisfactory vessel since q
destroyer was recalled from this serv-
ice here during the beginning Of the
governmental economy move.
Oficers here say that much val
liable training energy is going to waste
each week end because Of the inability
of the local officers to provide cruising
space for those who apply. 1t was
added that there are ships tied up in
the yards which are fast deteriorating.
and that they could be kept in the
best of condition If assigned here in
Reserve commission. The men on the
week end cruises could be used to per-
form necessary work on them as a
part of their training, and the officers
could receive better navigational and
seamanship training II larger vessel

NO. A." known as the "Eroica,"
next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock
in Constitution Hall.
Beethoven, always the demo.
crat and champion of human
rights, believed sincerely that the
motives that actuated Napoleon
were similar to his own. This
symphony was written as a trib-
ute to Beethoven's then hero, Ma
poleon.
Scarcely had the composer COM
pleted this symphony when Ma
poleon took the title of Emperor,
May 18, 1904. This action so out
ragged Beethoven's conception of
HSnaparte that he ripped the title
page from the manuscript and
changed the dedication to read,
Heroic symphony, for the cele-
bration of the memory of a great
man."
This symphony cannot be con-
strued as presenting picture Of
the life or any phase of Napo-
Icons activities. 1t is simply a
powerful abstract musical tribute.
The only possible exception to this
might be found. in the second
movement which is distinctly a
long drawn out funeral march.
Theme Description
The first theme shown above is
introduced by the cellos after sew.
eral staccato and powerful chords
in the first movement. Other
voices take up this bugle call
around which q towering edifice
of music Is erected.
The second theme, which seems
to be but the beginning of an idea,
is presented three notes at a time,
each group connected by a slur,
first by the oboe, next by the clar-
met, then by the flute and lastly
by the violin. These two themes
are interviewer and developed into
a lively and powerful movement.

Minor" (Brahms), overture to

third act from '"Tannhauser" and
the bacchanale and Venusberg
music from "Tannhauser" (Wag-
ner).
Wagner's overture to "Rienzi, |"
written at the early age Of Is, is
carefully arranged sketch of the
action to follow in the opera. 1t
gives glimpses of the turbulent
career of Rienzi, the last Of the
Roman dictators previous to

the music as a sort Of battle cry
and is prominent throughout the
overture.

The old waterway was blocked from
time to time because mud was dumped
into it during floods Of the Nile River;
but repairs were made and the canal
seems to have been Of service for a
long time.
The present canal runs through
Egypt, from Port Said on the north to
Suez on the south. The total length
is about 100 miles, but much of its
course is through lakes Dredging
had to be done to deepen the lakes.
Millions of cubic yards of mud and
sand were taken up in the part of
the channel which ran through Lake
MenZala.
The famous dreamer and engineer,
Ferdinand de Lesseps, was the moving
spirit in bringing about the canal.
He spent years in making plans and
raising money. At last, in 1859, the
first spadeful of sand" was turned.
Work went on for 10 years and then
there was a grand opening. Sixty
eight vessels passed through the canal.
forming a kind of parade.
Most Of the money for the canal
was raised in France; but the British
government later purchased almost
half of the stock. The tonnage charge
has brought Great Britain about 10
times as much money as the govern
ment paid for the stock.

THIS name was undoubtedly as
sumed as nickname, being orig
inally "brun," meaning one who was
dark Of complexion. From the same
name comes the term brunette" The
surname first assumed the form of
Brunei" later it was spelled Brun-
nell Brunell and finally Brownen.
The form most often found in many
counties of England today Is Burnell.
The coat of arms We show Is attrib-
uted to Thomas Brownell, one of the
early settlers of Portsmouth, r. I. He
is thought to have been a Quaker, one
Of group Of coloniSts whose religious
views made it necessary to seek free
dom from the strict rulings of the
Puritan Church in Boston in 1888. He

came an active participant in its af-

RAY FOX was very unhappy.
He was very unhappy indeed
r He was being hunted by men
~ and dogs and he was treed.
They didn't know he was
freed. but he did. He had climbed
to an old hawks nest high up in a
tree, and in this he was lying low.
Those Dogs didn't know he was there.
Those hunters didn't know he was
there Everything was all right now.
But supposing they should find out
that he was up there? What then?
He was safe from the Dogs. but what
about the men? They could climb.
Also they had terrible guns. If he
should be discovered there would be
no escape. He was treed. That tree
had seemed so safe when he had
climbed it. Now he was a prisoner
IN it.
The Dogs had scattered, hunting
for his lost trail, and the hunters had
scattered also. They we're shouting
encouragement to the Dogs. One Dog
only persisted in staying around the
foot of that tree. Two or three times
he stood up on his hind feet and
shifted at the trunk. Then he would
go shifting around on the ground
near by. only to return to the foot
of the tree. Perhaps his wonderful
nose caught hint of the scent of
Gray Fox. II so, 1t wasn't enough to
make him at all sure, sure enough to
bark.
One of the hunters noticed the Dog
and what he was doing. He called to
the Dogs master. THAT Dog of
yours thinks we are Coon hunting"
said he.
"If he were, he is the Dog that
would tree the Coon," his master re-
piled. mo Coon can fool that Dog"
well, he's fooled now or else he's
fooling u.s." replied the other. HE
keeps shifting up this tree as if he
smelled a scent of some sort"
The Dogs master came over and
