BILL ARP'S LETTER.
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.

zoological park of li'>2 acres with all
the wild American animals. 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.?

THE PRESIDENT IN ATLANTA.
Heaven Smiles Upon the Auspicious Oc?
casion.
Atlanta. 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

BATTLE AMONG THE BEES.
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

* '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

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
