Arp Sees the Fair. .?1 tlnnta Ornat Hut ion. The World's Fair was a grand show. Wc did nut sec it. my wife and 1. but some dl' the family did and the talk and tell of it lasted six months. It was the greatest show that ever was on earth. Hut it was t<?o bin a show for a day or a week. My folks say they never got through with it and had to hurry over what they did see. The Fair at Atlanta is big enough for nie?big enough for my time and my comprehension. My wife and I have been and it lias renewed her youth and now she has something else to talk about besides the mission? ary meetings and the grandchildren and the flowers that I havent put in the pit. Yes. I took her down last Wednesday. It took right smart of preparation, of course, for she had an idea that the people would all expect her and observe her outfit, and she has great respect for public occasions and for herself, too. and so her para? phernalia had to be revised and re? modeled. She knows how poor I am and said it would cost too much for her to go, but 1 told her she should go if it broke me and all my friends and relations. These maternal ances? tors, who, for thirty and forty years, have served the Lord and their coun? try in the infantry service and toiled day and night in raising children, nursing and sewing and caring for offspring?slaves to destiny and the curse that was put on Mother Eve? never without a little child that was too young ami helpless to take eare of itself, never with a day or anight that was free from anxiety, they should have a good time in their last days if there is a good time for anybody in this sublunary world. They arc like the heroes who came from the war. They arc like I'aul, who said, ;'I have fought a good light." But Paul would have known a little more about fight? ing if he had been a family man and had to get up in the night when he was almost dead for sleep and walk the floor in Iiis night gown with a teething child in his arms and singing. "Hush my dear; be still and slumber," or "Oh, where shall rest be found, liest for the weary soul." Paul had a hard time, but he never graduated in the fighting business. He was too smart to enter the infantry service. My wife was almost afraid to under? take the Exposition?afraid she would get tired and worn-out tramping around, but like all mothers she lets the youngest child persuade her. The older ones have scattered and gone and some of them we fear are weaned, but the youngest of all the flock is here and site is not weaned. She was twenty-one yesterday and is married and has a child of her 0?<rn, but she is not weaned. Oh. no ; she is still our comfort and brings us sunshine every day. Just think of it. Ten living children and the youngest has passed her twenty-one. The oldest is clean out of sight. lie is almost as old as I am and has sons who have graduated aud gone to work. One of them, who has my name and my birthday, is an electrician at the Exposition. He escorted us rouud and when we were asked to register our names in a book I wrote mine in full and he took the pen and just wrote '"ditto." and we went on. Wc got safely into the grounds, my wife and I and our youngest daughter, who was celebrating her birthday, and began the grand rounds about.9 o'clock in the morning. We stopped long enough to take a bird's eye view of the situation?to look at the panorama and to locate the particular buildings. I was the chaperon, for I had been there before, and so I pointed out everything before we began the peru? sal. "There is the government build? ing." said I. l'i wish you could spend half a day there. That Smith? sonian exhibit is just magnificent. There is the Woman's building. There is the Liberal Arts. There is the Agri? cultural building and there the ma? chinery. Over there is the Midway. In every Church, you know, the devil has a pulpit at the rear etid and the Midway is his pulpit here." In due time we started on the grand rounds. I had two shawls and a bas? ket of lunch and some other traps to carry, but that was all right for a while. 1 will carry anything on such occasions. I carried those parapher? nalia until 1 o'clock, when wc got to a place where we could eat up the lunch and leave the shawls and the etcetera. We took it in by slow de? grees. Sometimes 1 was in the lead like a pilot ; sometimes I was behind like a shepherd dog. I am very docile on such occasions. Sometimes I would sit down somewhere and wait till they got done looking. 1 had no trouble anywhere except at the fisheries. The crowd was very thick there and most of them were niggers and white folks and the passway is narrow. "Gentle? men," said I, "please don't crowd this lady?she is my wife," but they paid no more attention to me than if 1 was a common man ami 1 reckon I am. If 1 could have called back twenty years I would have knocked one fellow a rod ami taught him some manners. Those fish are just beauti? ful, but I have seen shcepshcad down at Clear Water just like them. 1 have seen them all around a palmetto post sucking the barnacles and they were so thick you could not see through thciu. They wouldent notice a hook with the most tempting bait on it, but 1 eould take a grain or a gigpole and strike it down amongst them and kill half a dozen at a stroke. It took us an hour to get through the govern? ment building and we did not see it all to our satisfaction. That alone is a great show. Our paternal government has been good to us and the Smith sonian institution carried out the will of that noble Englishman who left a million dollars for the diffusion of knowledge among men. The preface to the catalogue says they would have sent us much more if we had had room for ii. Since Smithson dint many other philanthropists have left money to that great institution. \.<<i< of money in various sums from $."1.111111 up to a i-uarter of a million. Say what you please about the Northern people, they are the greatest people on earth to make hit: fortunes and then die and leave them to some charity or some beneficent cause. .Iust think how this Smithsonian institution has crown.

It is twice as large as the largest animal park in the world. Over five million people have visited that institution in the last twelve years. Now. just contemplate what a won? derful institution that is?and it is all ours. Not many of us down here can sec it all, but it is a big thing for us to see a part. It expands and broad? ens us to louk upon these tilings. Of course 1 mean intellectually, fur otherwise my wife and I are broad enough. In fact, our broadness in? terferes with our alacrity and I had to sit down every half hour while my folks pursued their wan'^rings. Next we perused the Plaut system and saw Florida in all her glory. His build? ing looks like an Kgyptian pyramid and is covered with pebble phosphate. Next we visited the Art building, where all the fine paintings arc. I couldcnt tell a fine painting from a common one, but 1 did like the bull fight and the old woman reading her Bible by candle light. My wife went iuto raptures over some others, but they made no impression on me. I wish 1 was smarter?more cultured and more esthetic. I saw a painting in New York once that cost A. T. Stuart $00,000-?and I wouldent have given a hundred dollars for it. I can get up more internal inspiration from a view from Lookout mountain or a sunset scene at Clear Water than from all the paintings in the world. By and by we got to the Costa Kica building, where our Florida niece is queen of the realm, and there we got coffee and hot waffles and spread our lunch and had a good time. It is the plcasantcst place to rest that is upon the grounds. Clara Meer is at your feet und the view all around you ic charming. There we heard the ex? quisite music of Gilmorc's band and wondered if there could be any sweeter music in heaven. From there we journeyed to the Agricultural and Manufactures and Liberal Arts build? ings and by this time my wife was tired and surrendered upon the steps. She had seen enough for one day, aud said she wished she was at home. The mind has to have time to digest things just like the body. We urged her to go up to the Midway and shoot the chutes and ride on the scenic rail? way, hut no, she said she had shot enough and seen enough and would wait for some other time to see the rest. 'AYon't you take a boat ride on Clara Meer ?" But no, the collapse had come. We went back to Costa Kica and sat down and listened to more music and saw the electric lights turned on and were happy. By half past 7 o'clock wc were back to the city and 1 feasted them at Durand's hospi? table table up the winding stairs. What a delightful effect good oysters and beefsteak and delicious coffee do have upon both mind and body. We all got back home at 10 o'clock that night and there were lights in the window for us and even the little girl had kept awake to see if grandma came and how she liked the fair. She had already been there on the chil? dren's day and wanted to go again and show her grandma round, but she couldcnt. But we will all go again before it closes, stay a week. BlLL Arp. No Temptation in #400,000. Maurice Pore, real estate agent, died yesterday at his home, 1015 Jones street. He was soul of honor, and few men of the days of 49 have been so conspicuous as he is in this one respect. The most striking illustration of his honor is a part of the history of the State. After the failure of the Bank of California on Aug. 25. 1875, and the suicide of William C. Ralston, little or no trace could be found of the large private fortune of the man who had dune so much for this State and whose memory is beloved to this day. Then Maurice Pore came forward vol? untarily, and said : "I have in my name about 8400, worth of property belonging to Mr. Halston. Though there were no papers signed between us, the property was his." It was Balston's habit to trust his friends just as he had trusted .Maurice Pore, and it is certain that to many the president of the Bank of Califor? nia thus turned over large portions of his private fortune. Of these con fidants =of the millionaire, but one was worthy of the trust, but came forward, and that was Maurice Dorc. No one but he knew that Halston bad placed the property in his name. No one would ever or could ever have been any the wiser if Maurice Dore had not himself come forward and said that the property belonged to Ralston. Mr. Pore was not a poor man, even in those days, though he was not a millionaire by any means. The quiet, unostentatious manner in which Pore esigned the $400,000 worth of pro? perty staggered people, and to this day his name is not mentioned with? out the story being recalled, lie earned his reputation as an honest man, and few men have ever paid so high a price for the satisfaction of knowing that he was honest -for no one would ever have known that be was not if he had held the $400,000 worth of property. Maurice Mure was born near Limer? ick, in Ireland, in 1S20, and came to California by way of Australia in 1840. lie landed in San Francisco, and soon after entered the liquor business' which he followed for about twenty ye s. Since ISO!) he has been a real estate dealer and auctioneer. It was in this latter occupation that Mr. Dorc met and won the esteem of Halston. Always a temperate man, of modest tastes, he acquired a comfortable for? tune, and though at one time he was beset by financial trouble.-, he weath? ered them successfully, aud at his death was in good circumstances.? ?S'?fW /? filtU'ist'il hxiwiiiu I'.

Ga., October-23.?Presi? dent's day at the Cotton State- Ex? position broke bright, balmy and beautiful. Incoming trains brought thousands of visitors, and the streets were crowded at an early hour. The President remained in his apartments at the Aragon until the committee called for him. Secretary Carlisle and Vice President Stevenson were out early, however, for a stroll. The throng collected around the hotel long before carriages arrived for the distin? guished visitors. Calls were made for the President, but he did not respond. At 10 o'clock the military proces? sion formed down-town and half an hour later passed the Aragon on its way out to the Exposition. The military was not intended as an escort, and Mr. Cleveland and his official family were driven rapidly to the Exposition grounds. They reached the reviewing stand in front of the Government building a few minutes before the head of the column of troops wound around the hill in front of the Administration building, past the Pennsylvania, New York and Fine Arts buildings. Beside President Cleveland and Secretaries Carlisle, Lamont, Herbert, Smith, Morton and Postmaster Gen? eral Wilson on the reviewing stand were Vice President Stevenson, Gov? ernor Atkinson and the Exposition and city officials. The military parade was long and picturesque. I.'nitcu States regulars from Fort Mcl'herson. volunteers from Connecticut. Vir? ginia, North Carolina and Georgia wore in line. Governor OTerrall and staff, of Virginia, received prolonged cheers as they rode by Governor Coffin, and the red-coated Governor's Foot Guard from New Haven, Conn., got a great round of applause. Mr. Cleve? land lifted his hat to the commanding officers as they passed and gave the Governors a special smile. The re? view being over Dr. T. S. Hopkins, of Atlanta, delivered a prayer for the President and the prosperity of the nation and the success of the Exposi? tion, then, in a ten-minutes speech, introduced the President. Several thousand people were on the plaza within sight of the President. Though only a small part of these could hear the introduction, all recognized him and gave a mighty cheer. President Cleveland had most respectful atten? tion while he spoke. lie said : Mr. President: On my own behalf and for my colaborers in the executive branch of our Government who accom? panied me, I thank you for your kind words of greeting. We arc here to congratulate you and your associates upon the splendid success of the Im? position which you have set on foot, and upon the evidences you have here gathered, chiefly illustrative of South? ern enterprise, Southern industry and Southern recuperation. But we are also here tu claim a share in the pride of your achievement. No portion of our countrymen, wherever found, can exclusively appropriate the glory aris? ing from these surroundings. They arc proofs of American genius and industry which arc the joint posses? sion of our people, and they represent triumphs of American skill and ingen? uity in which all our citizens, from highest to humblest, have a proprie? tary^ right. While my fellow citizens of Georgia and her neighboring States may felici? tate themselves to the fullest extent upon such evidences as are here found of the growth and prosperity of inter? ests and enterprises in which they are especially concerned, I cannot be de? prived of the enjoyment afforded by the reflection that the work that they have done emphasizes in the sight of the world the immense resources and indomitable thrift of the people of the Tinted States. It seems to me that the thought may be suggested, as not inappropriate to this occasion, that what we see about us is an outgrowth of another Exposition inaugurated on American soil more than a century ago, when a new natiou was exhibited to the civilized world, guaranteed and protected by a Constitution which was ordained and established by the peo? ple of the Cnited States, with the declared purpose of promoting their general welfare aud securing the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity. The sucess which has attended this exposition of products and manufac? tures is not altogether due to the quality of the soil or character of the people in any of the contributing States, but it rests largely upon the fact that these States are members of a beueficciitly governed nation, whose natural resources and advantages everywhere have bec.i tempered and improved by the influence of free in? stitutions and whose people have been stimulated and encouraged by the blessings of personal liberty. A con? templation of the blessings vouch safed to us by our Government easily reminds us of the importance of a hearty and united co-operation in its support and protection. We should lovingly watch and guard it, not only because we arc recipients of its pre? cious gifts, but for its own sake, and because it has been put in our hands in sacred keeping to prove to the wurld that man can be trusted with self-government. We shall walk in the path of patriotic duty if, remem? bering that our free institutions were established to promote the general welfare, we strive for those things which benefit our people, ami if each of us is content to receive from a com? mon fund his share of the prosperity thus contributed. We shall sadly miss our duty ami forfeit our heritage if by narrow self? ishness we are heedless of the general welfare, and struggle to wrest from the Government private advantages which can only be gained at the ex? pense of our fellow countrymen. [ hope 1 may therefore he permitted, in conclusion, to suggest as a most important lesson taught by this occa? sion the absolute necessity to (.in national health and welfare, ami coii sei'iiently to our individual happiness as citizens, of a careful discrimination in our support of policies and in our advocacy of political doctrines between those which prompt the promotion of tin' public welfare ami those which simply sucm to serve selfish or sec? tional interests. If we ait- to enjoy the blessings our Uoveriiincnl was framed to fairly and justly bestow we shall secure them in due time by cul? tivating a spirit of broad American brotherhood and insisting upon such conduct, as will within the spirit of the golden rule promote the general welfare. The conclusion nf the speech was greeted with cheers. Then tie- crowd called for Carlisle, ami he arose ami briTod. hut refused to ppunk Vice President Stevenson in 11 * ? - same man? ner acknowledged the shouts for him, and shook hi> head when the people called for a speech. I'resilient Collier announced that Mr. Cleveland would shako hands with the people if they would pass by in an orderly line. Instantly there was a break for the reviewing stand. Here and there the ladies caught in the jam fainted, hut that did not deter others. For an hour the Presi? dent shook hands, faster, he said, than ever before in his life. Whcn-hegrcw weary the committee rushed him into a carriage ami drove off to the I'icdmont I'riviug Club, just in the outer edge of the grounds. There a champagne luncheon was served to the I'resident. Cabinet officers and their wives, after which the party began to take in all the buildings systematically. The lunch ami the rest refreshed the I'resident, who had been fatigued by standing so long speaking and shak? ing hand.-. lie was especially anxious to see the displays made by the United States Government and the negroes. He spent more time in those two buildings than in any others. At the negro building he was met by 1. (Jar land Penn, thief of the negro depart? ment, and his associates. The Presi? dent shook hands with them and. after looking the building over, con? gratulated them on the excellence of their display and the evidence of their race's material advancement and pros? perity, lie was greatly impressed by the showing which the race made. Commissioner Penn and his assistants were highly (dated by the President's comments. Mr. Cleveland was greatly eratitied, too, at what he saw in the Government building. The display there is the best which the country has ever made, and the President complimented the men in charge. Uncle Sam's building is the most popular mi the grounds, and the fish? eries exhibit always has the largest crowd. When Mr. Cleveland was seen approaching that display some of the committee,remarked to the President that the lish had better hunt deep wa? ter, lie replied that he did not know that Atlanta offered such g.1 fishing. A short visit was paid to the Woman's building, where Mrs. .Joseph Thomp? son, chairman of the woman's board, and her associates received the Presi? dential party. The other buildings were done more hurriedly, but the visitors walked through the Fine Arts. Fleet rieal. Transportation, Machinery and Forestry buildings. They were driven around the grounds, past all the State buildings and through the Midway, which was packed with spec? tators. Chinese. Dahomcyans, In? dians. .Japanese and representatives of a dozen other nations lined up to see the procession pass. The spellers for? got to spell, but the Kgyptian and Mexican bands attempted something, supposed to be ?"Hail to the Chief." The fireworks were brought on early. Pain gave a brilliant illumination of the grounds, winding up with a fiery portrait of the President. I >uring the pyrotechnic display some one cut the high wire on which .Jean Weitziuan was walking over the lake. He fell fifty fect, but beyond getting a cold bath was none the worst for it. His fall was thrilling, but the spectators were uncertain whether it was part of the programme or an acci? dent. Wcitzinan says the wire was cut by some jealous professional. The President did not have time to rest at the Aragon before the recep? tion hour at the Capital City Club. The reception was largely attended and it was a swell affair. Mr. Cleve? land remained from 0 o'clock until nearly midnight, when he withdrew to prepare for his return trip to Wash? ington. He stood the day's trying ordeal very well and said at the recep? tion that he had enjoyed his visit to Atlanta very much, lie was highly complimentary in his references to the Imposition. President Cleveland and all his part}*, except Secretary Smith, left Atlanta at 12.40 to-night for Washing? ton. The President looked a little tired, but said be was feeling all right. He travels in Mr. Pullman's car i; Wild wood," and the train is exactly the same as the one that brought the party South. General Passenger Agent Turk, of the Southern Kailway, returns with them. Fifty people saw the President off. The attendance at the Kxpositiou was 50,000 An Inlldcl Silenced. A noted infidel was traveling in a ear in which a minister was seated. He at once commenced an argument with the clergyman in a loud tone, so as to be heard by other passengers. Among the latter was a blind man, who listened attentively. Turning suddenly to him in a pause in the ar? gument, the infidel said : "'Ho you. sir. believe in a God, who has made this beautiful earth, and the sun to shine upon it. and who has adorned the heavens, with myriads of stars, and yet. without any offense mi your part, has deprived you forever of the power of beholding them. ;'I am surprised, my dear sir, re? plied the man. "that you should ask such a question. I do believe in the existence of God as firmly as 1 do in my own. and I could doubt the one as easily a- the other. There is. how? ever, one thing that Strikes me a.- be? ing very peculiar in what you have said. When you reason of God. you do not seem to be governed by the same principles as when reasoning about men and the common affairs of every day life. The infidel denied the inference, am! the blind man continued : '"Suppose, on reaching your home and on entering your room, you lind a lighted lamp upon the table what will be your conclusion '! "Why." answered the infidel, with a .-ncer. "I -hall conclude that some one placed it there.'' "Well. then, when you look into the heavens and see th.innumerable lights of which you have spoken, why do you not come to the sann.delu? sion, that some intelligent Heilig placed them there ?"

How the Little Busy Workers Dispose th'dr Forces. When the chill of the autumn days I-lights the life of the leaves ami (low? ers in woods and garden, the flow of honey is checked, and the busy bees lind their labors doubled. A restless activity seizes them, and they fly around in an unsettled condition of mind until the approaching cold weath? er drive- them permanently into their winter quarters No creature seems to regret the change of season mure genuinely than the honey bees and one is inspired with sympathy for the shivering, drawn-up bodies that hover around the entrances to the hives, or return from their long flights with only a speck of honey in their sacs. Hut this transition season is one of alarm to the apiarist, for the bees, tormented by hunger and the lack of work to do, get into mischief in the fall of the year very easily. The quiet? est, most industrious worker of the hive may at any moment lead a body of organized robbers against a neigh? boring hive to si .ilthe stores r." honey that have beet .athered through the warm season. A mania for robbery seizes the colonies, and the weak stand in daily fear of being destroyed by the stronger. An extra sentinel is placed at the entrance of each hive, and the strictest watch is kept for all intru? ders, (hi some quiet autumn day, when the buckwheat blossoms are slowly dosing their petals for the last time, the restless bees of one large hive may be seen flying around in great activity, reconnoitering the field for an attack upon some weaker colony. Standing in fiont of the hive that has been singled out for the premeditated assault, a most interesting sight may be observed. A .-ingle bee comes buz? zing through the air and alights upon the board in front of the entrance to the hive. One of the two or three hi es standing guard at the entrance advances toward the newcomer and ex? tends its tongue. The intruding bee must give the countersign by passim.' some of its honey from its sac. which sample, if found satisfactory, will ad? mit to the hive. If the honey is not right, or if the bee refuses to offer a sample, the sentries immediately pounce upon the intruder and kill it. When the bee is simply a lonely creature trying to effect an entrance into some warm hive, the work of kill? ing it and throwing the carcass over the side of the hoard is brief, hut if the intruder is the forerunner of an attack by a large colony a very different re? sult follows. While the sentries arc trying to kill the bee, the vest of the attacking-party will try to force an en? trance into another part of the hive, or into tlx: unprotected entrance in front. The weak points of the hive have been noted by the bees before? hand, and the whole attack is arranged even to the smallest detail. On the lirst signs of warfare the whole colony inside rush to the defence, and a gen? eral alarm is given. When a war between iwo colonies is thus precipitated, the bees will pay no attention to a human intruder, and one may stand close to the hive and watch the proceedings. The attack? ing colony has one great object in view, and that is to get inside of the hive, while the home bees work stren? uously to keep them out. The former generally place themselves upon the defensive, and the latter on the offen? sive. The tactics of the bees in battle arc very simple. They go upon the plan of sending two bees to kill one. When two of the home bees fall upon the first intruder, the latter gathers up its addomcn in as small a space as possi? ble and tries to avoid being stung. Meanwhile he forces himself gradually into the hive to make room for other intruders. The body of the bee is vulnerable only at its joints, and the the home defenders collars him and by following him around through various contortions sometimes find and unpro? tected spot. The intruder is then rapidly stung to death, and tin- two warriors turn to attack another enemy in the hive. The size of the colony does not al? ways determine the results of such a battle. There are defensive arrange? ments of the bees which often enable an inferior force to keep twice their number outside. The defences are so arranged that the entrance is narrowed down to a small point inside, and at this place the best warriors of the colony are stationed. As the intru? der- enter they are seized one by one. and generally killed. In a properly guarded hive it is difficult fur a strong colony to force an entrance unless there is some weak point. Sometimes the attack is made so suddenly that a great many bees get inside before the irtiards are called to their stations. If tin- attacking party prove successful, and the bees get inside of the hive, they then suddenly assume the offen? sive, and fall upon the home bees and -tin- them to death. The slaughter of the inhabitants becomes general, and the bodies of the dead are hauled out and thrown upon the ground. IJut at this point of the conflict the human side of the bees is manifested. Some of the attacked party will stld dedly turn trait"]-.-, ami the weaker ones will join the forces of the intru? der- and help to kill their former friends. When the battle i.- waging hot. the strongest defences may thus he abandoned by the defenders and turned o-. cr to the enemy. < >nly a few of tin- bravest warriors will fight until the very last for their home.-. When the hive is finally captured, the few traitor- who joined in the fight against the home defenders arc admitted into regular fellowship with the victorious party. They -how special vigor in helping to ??airy away the stores of the down Fallen colony. The work'of carry? ing all of the honey away will occupy several days and tin- bees will be kept busy even though the days are so chil? ly that the late flowers refuse to open their petals t" the sun. Tin- bees from several other hives will probably join the others in robbing the hive and no dispute over the question is apparently made. The attacking party. however, is not always -li.'ssful. They are frequent? ly defeated in their purpose \>\ reason of strong defensive arrangements, and they finally retire from the conflict with a good number of their best worker bees left behind dead. In modern apiculture, the owner of the bees i- srenerallv on the lookout for these fall battles, and by observing tlo- attack early in it- stages he pre? vents the destruction of a weak colony. Standing near ihe hi\e with a flour dredger in his hand-, the apiarist dusts the attacking party as they -jo into the hive. The bees are too ex? cited to 1.me frightened at this. I!y removing the top of ? the hive, he can soon l.ierHe the str-or-hoM ??!' tlo atta? kin;: party 1 y l he ; i -. u..e ? t * 'soil* white badge of,! ?>;? und !'. w puffs of smoke so fritrhtens i.hem thai they cease to fight. As many as pos? sible seek exit into the open air. The entrance in the hive i- then protected by a piece of cloth saturated with car? bolic acid. The home bees will pass this to siot inside, but the attacking bees will not do it. Ail bees associate the odor with danger, and nothing hut powerful inducements will make them enter a place saturated with the acid. Generally when a honey bee stings a man his sting is left behind, and sometimes even the entrails, but one bee is able to sting another and with? draw the sting. This enables a strong worker to kill as many bees as he can penetrate with his sharp weapon. The sting cannot he withdrawn by a direct pull, hut by several motions which unscrew the sting without injuring it. When the sting ir- driven into the body of the bee up to the very ait, it is said that nine turns are required to withdraw it. In the hand to-hand en eounters. then, the work of killing a bee is slow and intricate, even after a vulnerable point has been discovered. The drones have no stings, and con? sequently arc-useless in a light. I >nly the worker bees which gather the honey protect the home from intruders or organize together to attack a weaker colony. The drones are not stung to death as a rule when no longer needed in the hive. Theirwings are frequent? ly nibbled by the bees as they carry tht' helpless creatures out of the hive. Privet] from its home, the drone soon falls exhausted from hunger and cold, to die on the ground near the hive. There is no sympathy or feeling ex? pended upon the droni s when no longer needed. The worker bees are relentlessly utilitarian, and discharge all members who perform no function of economy in the colony. The ''battle royal"' in the hive is when two queens are found in one colony. This occurs often er than one imagines, hut it does not last long. The bees will not entertain two queens, and they must fight it out between them. When two weak colonies are joined together by the apiarist two queens are apt to come together, and one must abandon the throne, and the other reicn over the consolidated col? onies. Sometimes a new queen is hatched out before the old queen is dead, and a similar result of lighting it out between them occurs. The strange part of this battle is that the worker bees assemble in a cir? cle around the two queens, hut offer no help to cither side unless there is foul play. One of the agreements of the battle seems to be that both queens are not be killed, and if they get into a position where the lives id" the two are endangered they must draw apart to begin over again. There is honor between the queens, and they with? draw by common consent when this danger threatens the two lives. Pos? sibly, if they did not, the worker bees would interfere and settle the conflict themselves. The survivor of such a battle is never known to be injured, while the other is killed, and the body is carried out by the worker bees. The battle is sometimes short and tierce, and again it is drawn nut fur a longtime. It never ceases, however, until one queen is killed. The sur? vivor is then made queen of the colony, having demonstrated her rieht to the position by risking her life in the dcadlv conflict.?Xvic )'"/?/.? Ecmiun /W." Air Curronfs Help Them. The soaring of a bird may he com? pared with a boy sliding down hill on a sled. If a hill is, say^ 100 feet high, and the sides slope off in a horizontal direction, 2.UO0 feet from the summit, and if the snow is smooth, a boy can mount a sled and advance 2,000 feet while he is falling, as relates to the earth, 100 feet ; that is, the sled, with the boy on it. in falling through a distance of one foot develops a suffi? cient power to drive the sled forward 2U feet, but when the boy is at the bottom of the hill and can develop no more power by falling the sled soon comes to a state of rest. Suppose now that a hill could be made in such a manner that it would constantly rise at such a Velocity that the sled would never reach the buttom of the hill. The boy would then he able to slide forever, and this is exactly what occurs to a bird. A bird places its wings in such a position that, as it falls in the air say one foot, it moves forward through the air 2b feet, that is, it slides along on tlx-surface of the air underneath its wings in the same manner that the boy slides down the hill. Suppose now that the velocity uf the bird should be about ."ID miles an hour, this would account for the whole phenomenon of soaring on an upward current of only one and one half miles an hour. With an upward current of two miles the bird would rise, as relates to the earth, one-half mile an hour, while actually falling through the air at the rate of one and one half miles an hour. There is no doubt that a bird, by some very delicate sense of feeling and touch, is able to ascertain whether :t is falling or rising in the air. If a surface fish sinks too deeply in the water the compression of its swim bladder produces a sensation or im? pression upon its brain, which causes the fish to change its course, and re? lieves the pressure by coming nearer the surface, and a similar thing is true uf tin.' deep sea fish. If they approach th<- surface their swim blad? der becomes enoi> ously distcuded and no doubt produces a [sensation which the fish knows is relieved by again sinking into very deep water. If these fish are caught and drawn to the sur? face the distetition of the swim blad? der becomes so great ' at it displaces all the other organs of the body. In all probability the numerous air c< !!. which are found in the body uf a bird are provided with delicate nerves, which operate in a similar manner t" those of tlo- swim bladder of a fish, so that as the bird is moving forward through the air it i> able to take ad? vantage of a rising column of iir. As a whole, we may consider that the rising columns of air would he half of the total area of the earth'.- surface, so that a soaring bird would always have a rising column of air which would serve as a sui.i*. .\'ntft At rien? i:-< ;.,:; The Darlington, Wis.. ./ says editorially of a popular patent medicine: ''Wo know from cxperi eneo that Chamberlain's Colic.
