Ul.llnuul* 11 Between Men and Her a Division ot Laboi'-The (( i ier u Bee the Head of a Com n.naity—The Dutleii— The Worker* Conutitute the Fighting l oree—How They Protect Their Qneen and Their Homes. In point of mental development the hee stands high. "Neither In Its in 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.

I 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 it and who sends one dollar for a year's subscription beginning with the December number. Address The Ridgway - Thayer Company, Union Square, New York City. Everybody’s Magazine for December has also Booth Tark ington's latest story; an exquisite Christmas article by Henry van Dyke; a Joyous tale by 0. Henry; and a host of other striking features. JUST OUT. On all News-stands. Everybody’s Magazine wants canvass ers. Write for terms. ized and defenseless on the loss of Its leader. After a hive has been looted and its queen slain its inmates usually loin the marauding army and become 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 In the animal kingdom. WILL RAY $36,000000 FOR CITY RAILROAD. Bl* Deal for the Chicago Property Is On.

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.

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. TWO MET*DEATH. One Burned nt Other Died After Having His Leg Chopped Off.

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.

Continued from First Page. future of this country, tor the future of this mighty and majestic nation of ours, lies in the fact that we have grown to regard one another, that wg brothers have grown to regard one an other, with a ibroad and klr.diy charity and to realize that the field for human endeavor is wide, that the field for charitable, philanthropic, religious work is wide, and that while a comer of it remains untilled, we do a dread ful wrong If we fail to welcome the work done in that field by every man, no matter what the creed, provided, only, he works with a iofty sense of his duty to God and his duty to his neigh bor."

Is alive to-day because the dose of lauda num she took at I o'clock this morning to end her troubles was too large. She was anxious to end her existence; so anxious that she made the dose two bottles, with the result that she lin gered too long and defeated her pur pose. Dr. Lloyd, colored, was sum moned and used a stomach pump, so Lillian still has her troubles and still lives ln her little house ln Liberty Lane, near East Broad street. A Greek has lived there with her, and a letter he had received from Greece la said to have been the cause of the woman’s act. Fire at Rector, Ark.
