In point of mental development the

stincts nor in general intelligence oar.
any fish be compared with an ant or
bee. ' says Romanes. The ant is, on
the whole, superior in intelligence to
the bee, but in some respects it is the
bee's inferior.
The bee has a well developed facul
ty for communication. It not only
recognizes its fellows, but distinguishes
between men. It has. a government
and practices division of labor. It car
ries on wars. It is the most skillful
of architects. The aptitude with
which, in diverse circumstances, bees
adapt means to ends, makes It Impos
sible for any one who has closely ob
served them to doubt that they are
guided by an intelligence analogous to
that of human beings.
Ruled by 11 Queen.
The bee community, says S. D. Mor
gan in the Chicago- Tribune, is auto
cratically ruled by a queen. Her sub
jects are inales, called “drones,” and
sterile females, called "workers.” As
soon as the queen has been fertilized
the workers fall upon their indolent
end defenseless brothers, the drones,
end sting them to death or throw them
out to perish in the cold. All the la
bor of the hive, all the fighting in war,
Is done by the workers. The food of
bees consists of honey and “bee
bread.” The more nutritious bee bread
has the effect, tvhen fed to a female
larva, of developing it into a queen.
Only one queen is required for a hive,
but the far-sighted bees always raise
several. If any accident happens to
the reigning sovereign they then have
other females they can raise to the
throne.
Queen Lays the Errs.
The eggs are all laid by the queen.
During the season of reproduction the
queen requires so much food that a
dozen or more workers are appointed
to wait upon her. She walks about
the hive, accompanied by her retinue,
and drops an egg in each cell. A high
ly remarkable thing is that she can
control the sex of her eggs, and al
ways puts worker eggs in worker cells
and drone eggs in drone cells. If so
many larvae hatch out as to over
crowd the hive it is the duty of the
old queen to lead forth a swarm. The
young queens have to be kept in close
confinement until the old queen de
parts. for if they were out the old
queen would kill them. Should the
hive still be overcrowded one of the
young queens leads forth another
swarm. That bees profit by experience
is shown by the fact that before the
old queen leads forth a swarm she
Biway* sends out scouts to reconnoiter
the ground, while a young queen never
does.
Queens Kill Each Other.
hen the swarming season is over,
If there still are two or more queens
in the nest, they are all liberated at
once, and. while the workers stand
uround and apparently cheer them on.
they fight desperately for possession
of the throne until all but one is dead.
Huber relates that he once saw two
queens in a position simultaneously to
sting each other to death. . They at
once released their grasp as if in hor
ror of a situation that might end In
leaving the hive queenless.
As soon as a bee arrives at its hive
with news it emits two or three shrill
botes and taps a comrade with its
long, flexible, slender antennae. The
hews is transmitted in the same way
through the hive; and if It is of a
startling character, will soon cause a
buzzing and commotion. P.
Muller once saw several workers push
ing the queen in an odd way with
their heads and trying to tell her of
some cells in which she had dropped
0° eggs. The queen understood them,
but as she could find no empty cells
she went off. “Thus the workers knew
how to advise the queen that some
thing was as yet to be done, but they
Knew not how to show her where it
bad to be done.’*
Strangers Arm Killed.
1 hese little insects have effective
bieans of protecting their hives against
intruders, as many people have good
cause to know. If a strange bee, not a

BRIBERY
IN THE LEGISLATURE
"The Massachusetts Legislature is
Bought and Sold as are Sausages
and Fish at the Market
and Wharves.”
This is one of the many startling
statements made by Thomas W. Law
son in the December installment of
"Frenzied Finance” in Everybody's
Magazine for December, just pub
lished. Mr. Lawson tells of the whole
sale buying and selling of senators
nnd representatives in the great com
monwealth of Massachusetts, which
culminated in the sudden and mysteri
ous disappearance of a Boston lawyer
and his secretary.
As back numbers of Everybody’s
Magazine are out of print, the previ
ous chapters of Mr. Lawson's "Fren
zied Finance”—contained in the num
bers from Julv to November inclusive
—are republished in a pamphlet, at 25
cents a copy. This pamphlet will be
sent free to any new subscriber to
Everybody’s Magazine who requests

and its queen slain its inmates usually

themselves robbers. Sometimes, with
out any apparent cause, civil war
breaks out in a hive. Among bees, as
among men, this kind of wan is always
the fiercest and most deadly.
Their Architectural Skill.
Perhaps the most wonderful of the
bee's faculties is its gift for architec
ture. There are, according to mathe
maticians, three figures in which cells
can be built without leaving any use
less spaces, the equilateral triangle,
the square, and the regular hexagon.
The hexagon is most convenient and
strongest; and it is in the shape of
a regular hexagon that bees’ ceils are
always builded. It has been demon
strated that by making the bottoms of
cells consist of three planes meeting
In an angle, the exact magnitude of
which has been ascertained by the
mathematician Maclaurin, the greatest
possible saving may be made of labor
and material. The bees, as if acquaint
ed with these principles of solid geom
etry, which are understood only by the
ablest mathematicians, build their
cells in three planes which meet ln
the exact angle designated by Mac
laurin. There is no more marvelous
example ot instinct or intelligent skill

RUSSIANS SPECULATE
ON WAR SITUATION.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 21, 4 a, m.—The
suspense engendered by the Japanese
attack on Pouttloff Hill continues. This
movement has proved unsuccessful. It
aimed merely to capture a Russian po
sition, but whether it was Intended to
mask activity at some other point
along the front has not yet developed.
Some correspondents note what they
consider significant Japanese move
ments on the Russian right, and others
that a Japanese column is moving fif
ty or sixty miles eastward; but the
opinion In military circles seems to be
that no great movement is likely to
transpire before the fate of Port Ar
thur is decided.
At the same time it is recalled here
that Gen. Kuropatkin’s great aggres
sive movement of last month was in
full swing a week before the outside
world realized what was occurring.

NEGROES PROCEEDED TO
CLEAN OUT A SALOON.
White Man Fell Dead Before Their
Unprovoked Fire.
Lexington, Ky.. Nov, 20.—William
Moore, a laboring man, was killed to
night by three negroes who attacked
him in a saloon.
The three negroes, James Garfield,
John Taylor and Edward Taylor, came
In the saloon and with the words, “We
will clean out all the white dogs," be
gan firing. Moore fell dead without a
word.
Edward Taylor and Garfield were
caught and lodged in jail.
At midnight a crowd gathered on the
outskirts of the city with the intention
of attacking the jail to secure the ne
groes. A riot alarm called all the police
from their beats and they were sta
tioned in and arpund the Jail.
The mob, 300 strong, finally moved
on the jail. When within two squares
of the prison a police picket named
Longston hailed the leader with the
salutation: "Is there an Odd Fellow
in this crowd?"
The crowd halted and a man stepped
from the front rank. In a hurried
conversation the policeman told him
that forty officers were in and around
the Jail, that it was a stone and steel
structure and that an attack meant
wholesale bloodshed. The leader re
turned to his fellows who were armed
with firearms of all descriptions, and
counseled abandonment of the under
taking. Within five minutes the mob
had disappeared and the authorities
are confident that the Jail will not be
attacked.

OHIO CITIZENS WANTED

They Were SuMpeeted of Having
Started Three Fires.
Zanesville, 0., Nov. 20.—Three alleged
Incendiary fires have occurred ln the
village of Roseville during the last
twelve hours. The money loss is small,
but the excitement of the residents
reached a crisis to-night when a crowd
of men gathered in the center of town
intent upon doing violence to two men,
Kid Wilson, colored, and Charles
Karnes, white, who had been arrested
on suspicion. Jlev. Luther J. Smith,
the Methodist minister of the town,
mounted a box and dissuaded the crowd
from doing any unlawful act.
The authorities believe they know
who the firebug is, but deem it unsafe
to take him into custody now, fearing
violence of an extreme character and
they will wait until the excitement
over to-day's happenings has passed
away before making any more 'arrests.
