The capital of Madagascar. Tan-

tains of the interior, and inac-
cessible, except by footpaths, the
government having always prohibit

artillery could brought against
the city. French armies are, however,
not deterred by such trifling difficul.

anarivo has been carefully plan ned,
As there are no roads, a river, the
Ikonpa, which extends from the sea
to the foot of the mountains, just
below Tananarivo, is to be used as a
road. This river is very shallow and

Bees in a Railway Car,
A singular and exciting incident
took place at Stone Railway station,
Swaflordshire, England, recently. It]
appears that two hivesof bees had |
been consigned toa station beyond
Stafford. The porter, in placing
the two hives in the guard's van, ac~
cidentally knocked the tin bottom
from the hive. The bees filled the
guard's van, making the guard best
a hasty retreat, while the porters and
others who were in the immediate
vicinity also took to their heels and
ran. Several people were stung,
particularly one gentleman who had
journeyed across from the opposite
side of the platform to get a better
