ITie Enmlle Ece Is. Found to Ee an Active Gatherer of Honey. INSTRUCTIVE FACTS FOR AHAEISTS The Department of Agriculture is about to send an expedition to India for the pur pose of procuring certain giant bees which are wild in that country. They are the big gest species known in the w orld, and they build combs in the forests as large as ordi nary housedoors. These huge combs, says the Washington Star, hanging from the limbs of lofty trees or from projecting ledges of rock at a high altitude, give enor mous quantities of was. Bee hunting is a profession in India. The bee hnnters wear no clothing save breechclouts. They have a superstitions fear of the insects. Though dreading to en counter them on fair terms they are very skillful in attacking their nests by strata gem. Their usual method is to climb the tree from a high limb of which the comb depends, swinging below the hive a long stick with a bunch of ignited leaves on the end of it, until the bees are driven out, many of them falling with singed wings to the ground, but the majority ascending into the air above the comb and hovering in a cloud. This opportunity is taken by the seeker after spoil to cut away the great comb, which he quickly lowers by means of a rope to the ground below. One gets a notion of the vast quantities of honey and wax collected in this manner from the stores of the latter material to be seen in the ware houses and shops of the cities, tons npon tons of it together. It is an article of ex tensive export from India. The proposition is to fetch these bees to this country and domesticate them here if possible. If they could spread their charms in the semi-troDical forests of the United States they might be made to Eupply con siderable crops of the finest and most valua ble wax. The Drones Are of Ordinary Size. Curiously enough, the drones of this spe cies are uo larger than the ordinary bees, and this facts affords reason for hoping that they will mate with the females of stocks already acclimated here. These wonderful insects from India have longer tongues than are possessed by other' bees, and the belief is entertained that they could secure from many kinds of flowers honey which 110--gocs to watc Dreadful stones are told in the country wheie they belong of their ex traordinary ferocity and of attacks which they have made upon whole villages of peo ple with latal results, but the fact has been demonstrated that capable bee keepers can handle them easily and safely. Considerable numbers of bumble bees have recently been imported from Europe in to Australia and 2few Zealand. Hitherto growers of red clover in those countries have been obliged to obtain seed for planting each car trom England, because this crop produced uo ;eed, lor lack of bumble bees to lertilize the blossoms. Humble bees find in led closer their favorite diet, and without their aid in distributing pollen this plant tould perish off the face of the earth. Find ing it icry expensive to import their red b'er.eed annually, the farmers of the rii'tries mentioned decided to procure bumble bec- lor themselves. Accordingly a lot were taken while in the hibernating viag;, during cold weather, packed in moss and carried over the ocean in the refiigera xor comnartment of a ship. They were set loose on arrival aud already they have mul tiplied so numerously in that part of the world that it is feared that thevwill become a nuisance by consuming all the flower juices which the honeybees require for their o.yn purposes. It seems to be the same wav with every sort of animal that is introduced to Australia. Invariably the beast, bird or insect proceeds at once to flourish to such an extent as to upset the normal balance of creation. Humble Bees Are Active 'Workers. Bumble bees are generally supposed to be of no particular use in the world. It is not their fault. They are active and indus trious honev gatherers, but there are never enough of them in one colony to make a store that is worth taking. Vhen winter comes the queen bumble bee seeks a place in the groiind for hiding salely during the cold months. She finds such aspot beneath moss, or perhaps in a heap of leaves. There she hibernates comfortably, remaining fast asleep until spring arrives. The warm sun of approaching summer awakens her and she crawls out. Immediately she looks about her for a nest suitable to'breed in. An old nest vacated by field mice serves her pur pose admirably. Having settled upon quar ters, she begins collecting pollen trom flowers, storing it away in two pockets which she carries on her hind legs. Into the nest chosen she puts the dollcn and uocs for more, fetching load after load until vhe has formed a ball of pollen perhaps as much as an inch in diameter. In the ball of pollen she lays her eggs, and after a few days they are hatched, bring forth little w orm-like larvae The larva: hatched in the mass of pollen feed upon the nutritious material, consum ing the portions nearest a hand, until each one has cleared a little room. Then it pro ceeds to spin a cocoon around itself, and after a little while it comes out of this chrysalis a full-fledged woorker bee. Al most immediately these new fledged bees begin gathering pollen, which they contin ually add to the original lump, making it bigger and bigger, while the queen goes on laving eggs in it as long as warm weather lasts. Peihaps before winter arrives the mass will have grown to the size of one's two fists. It is literally honeycombed with cells from w hich the young bees have made their escape, and these empty chambers are used for tnc storing of honey. Most of the honey gathered by bumble bees is obtained from red clover. Only Queens Snrrive Cold "Weather. Tjp to nearly the end of the summer the queen lays only worker eggs that is to say, eggs which produce females which are un developed sexually. They are the honey gathering and comb-building class. When autumn is coming on, however, she pro duces males calle4 drones. At the same period also she lavs eggs which give birth to fully developed females, all of which are destined to be queens the following vear. These females mate with drones and "thus are rendered able to reproduce their spe cies in the next season. From G to 12 of the future queens are turned out by each hive. When cold weather arrives they crawl into snug places, where they hiber nate during the winter, gathering pollen in the spring and laying their eggs in it. Thus is completed the cycle of their species. Only the qneens survi e, all the workers and drones dying. Thus it may be said that every bumble bee hive is wiped out each autumn. Here is one of the reasons why this genus of apidaa is not useiul to mankind. They do not gather in numbers sufficient to accumu late large stores of honey, notwithstanding their industry. Ordinarily a single colony will not number more than 30 or 40 indi viduals. Another cause for their worth lessness is that their cells, being formed in the manner described, are huddled together without order, so that the honey cannot well be obtained from the combs in a clear state. Diflerent Varieties Scattered About. The bumble bee and the honey-making ' bee proper are cousins. Scientifically speak in:: they are families, belonging to the same order. Four species of honey bees are known. Three of them are indigenous to iijuiaftuuaiB juuuu uuuiiere save in tnat part of the world. The fourth, known as "ilellifica," is distributed all over the globe. It includes a number of Tarieties, all of which were very likely derived from one stock at the beginning. Bees, like rats, have spread with man, though from a differ ent cause. They have, accompanied the human race as servants, not as scavengers. It is well known that the ancients Kept bees. They are frequently represented on the monuments of Egvnt, and in that country centuries before "Cleopatra reigned they were cultivated on a very large scale. Thou sands of barges freighted with hives were floated up and down the Nile in order to afford the insects pleasure on the flowers along the banks. There were no bees in America until the seventeenth century, when the common black variety was brought over from Ger many. It is that kind which swarms all over the United States to-day. But within recent years beekeeping has been reduced to scientific principles, and so it has been sought to procure from them abroad finer breeds. Important among these is the Italian, which was fetched to this country first in 1859. Italian bees have many ad vantages from the industrial point of view. They are docile and easily handled, they are very prolific and they protect their hives better than the black ones do from the ravages of the wax moths. These moths lay their eggs in combs, and the larva3 feed upon the wax and pollen, destroving the cells. In 1881 Mr. Benton, a wellknown expert, went abroad and brought hither other choice breeds from Cyprus, Syria and Palestine. These.particnlarly the Cyprian, are all very handsome and thoroughly busi ness bees, possessing extraordinary energy in honey gathering. They are irritable and for that reason difficult to handle, unless one knows how. Stocks Must Be Carefully Selected. Nowadays beekeepers select their stock as carefully as farmers do cattle. Hundreds of people all over the country made a prof itable business of raising pure-bred Italian or other queens for market. In each hive are engendered from 12 to 300 queen bees, depending upon the race. If left alone they would nearly all be killed by being stung to death in their cells, because a bee house hold can never have more than one mistress; but the breeder removes the portion of the comb which contains these queen cells be fore their occupants are ready to emerge, and he puts one of them, with'a bit of comb and honey, into each of a number of min iature hives made for the purpose, with a few handfuls of bees in each. Thus many thousands of queen bees may be produced in a season, and, inasmuch as well bred ones sell for from 53 to ?o each, the business is lucrative. For some so-called Punie queens, of an alleged new stock, as much as 580 apiece has recently been asked. In fact, however, these are -merely of the Tunisian variety trom Africa, figuring under a fresh name. "When the young queens are ready to mate the breeders shut up the drones in all the hives save those containing the best stock, thus securing the most desirable off spring A queen, to fetch a good price, must have already produced satisfactory progeny, so that the mating shall have been proved all right. MAXY APPEALS EXPECTED. IN JEOPARDY AGAIN. Frank Gerade Is Being Tried Second Time for Murder. the against Jackson M. "Weddell for 51,000 I Frances J. Foster, to recover a commission damage.

GENERAL COURT NEWS OF INTEREST Board of Viewers Keady to rile Their Ke- porls How the Citizens Can CTake Their Appeals Boggs Avenue Cases Will Come TJp Again. The Board of Viewers, appointed by the court under tne new street act, have com- pleted their assessment for Thirty-sixth street improvements, and the reports will be submitted to court this w eek. Under the new law these reports must show the dam ages and benefits allowed or charged to each individual by the viewers, and there must be submitted plans plainly showing the im provements, the properties taken, injured or damaged as well as the properties benefited. After the filing of the reports the fact must be advertised once in the newspapers, to gether with a schedule of the damages and benefits shown. Unless exceptions are filed with the court against the viewers' reports within a period of 30 days from the date of filing, the court will confirm the report absolutely and the matter will be settled. This 30 days for appeals is considered one of the best features of the new act, for it allows anyone whose property is affected an opportunity to state their exceptions to the court, who, if the objections are well grounded has the power to change the assessment or refer the report back to the uiewers for correction. Or, in case of property taken or damaged, the owner, if not satisfied with the viewers' report, may, within the prescribed 30 days, demand'a jury trial to determine whether he has been fairly treated. He can still further appeal to the Supreme Court if the lower court fails to satisfy him, provided he mafces his appeal within 30 days after the final decree of the lower court. That appeals will be made on some of the viewers' reports to be filed this week is unquestioned, for in the list appear the Shiloh street, Boggs avenue and Wyoming street grading, paving and curbing assess ments, on which the interested property holders made such a bitter fight last winter. The reports to be made include 19 streets graded and paved and 17 sew ers. Twelve of the reports will be filed in Common Pleas Court No. 2, on Friday, and 24 will be filed Saturday, 17 in No". 1 Court and 7 in No. 3. The list in full ii as follows: Giading and paving Allen, South Twenty-eighth, Shiloh, Fox, Stanwix and "Wyoming streets, Boggs avenue (zj, nerron avenue, JUanon street, "Webster avenue, Sapphire alley, Basin alley, Copeland, Boquet and Lilac streets, Amberson avenue, Atwood, Jnmonville and Bayard streets. Sewers Arabella street, Braddock avenue, Grazier, Harvard, Low el, Wjnslow and Linden streets, Braddock, Denniston and Aiken avenues, Frankstown avenue (2), Claybourne, Bayard and Broad streets, Center avenue (2), Comrie alley and the Center and Ellsworth avenue sewer. A list of nine more assessment reports are in preparation and will be ready for presentation to court December 8. YOU HAVE-JUST TWO DAYS Before Judge Ewing yesterday Frank Gerade was placed ou trial for the second time for the murder ot his step-daughter, Annie Hofer, on March 13, 1890. At the first trial the defendant was convicted of murder in the first degree, but the Supreme Court granted a new trial on an exception to the Judge's charge. The first case was tried before Judge Magee. In the case yesterday District Attorney Burleigh represented the Commonwealth and Messrs. W. D. Moore, Esq., and J. Charles Dicken the defense. Not much trouble was experienced in se curing a jury, their being but few chal lenges. The prisoner was brought into court just previous to the opening of the trial. He looks like a different man from what he was a year ago. The blank stare has left his eyes, and he was neatly dressed 3nd looked like a well-to-do mechanic Dis trict Attorney Burleigh made a brief open ing address. Detective Glenn testified to the arrest of the defendant on the morning after the mnrder. He was found in the cellar of liis house with two knives in his hand. Dr. J. Guy McCandless testified to hold ing the post mortem on the body of the murdered child. Detective Phillip Mc Donough, who arrested the defendant, tes tified to that fact. "William Richardson, J. G. Ebbert and ex-Chief of Police Kirschler, of Allegheny, testified in detail to the facts connected with the murder of the child, all of which has already been published. J. Charles Dicken, Esq., made the open ing address for the defense and claimed that they would prove the defendant was insane at the time of the murder and was btill of unsound mind. William Gerade, a brother of the defendant, testified to see ing his brother Frank on the day before the killing and he was acting like an insane man. James Marshall, Peter botlel, George Mclntvre and James Irwin, all emploves of the jail, testified that when the defendant was brought to jail he looked and acted like a crazy man. Drs. J. P. McCord and A. D. Chessrown testified to having made an examination of the prisoner after he had been placed in jail and that he was un doubtedly insane. The prisoner is much improved now, but is still, it is alleged, mentally unsound. MaryGoldbcck and Herman Gerade testi fied to the defendant always having treated the dead child kindly and just the same as his own children. After hearing this wit ness court adjourned until this morning at 9:30 o'clock. ber Weddell falselr and maliciously had him indicted for larceny by bailee. He was discharged by the court and now asks damages. Crumbs From the Courts.

The suit of Mrs. Ellen J. Daley and her three children against Murphy and Hamil ton and Edward Kelly, is on trial before Judge Stowe. The suit is for damages for the death of her husband, Thomas Daley. Bast summer Daley, who was a well-known letter carrier, got into a quarrel with a man called "Johnnie, the Smoker", on High street. During the scuffle that followed Daley was knocked into an excavation that was being made for a cellar and received in juries that caused his death. His assailant was tried on tne cnarge or murder, but was acquitted. At the trial it developed that Daley's death was caused by the fall into the cellar. Daley's widow then en tered suit in behalf of lierself and children against the owner of the property, Kelly, and the contractors, Murphy & Hamilton, who were in charge of the work, for dam ages for not having the excavation properly protected. She claimed that had the place been guarded as it should have been her husband would not have fallen or been knocked into it and lost his life. UT it's different with their clothes. They are mostly born without clothes. Nearly all have clothes thrust upon them when they are small. Afterward they have to achieve their clothes. Some achieve good clothing and some don't. It's owing to where they buy it. Those who buy the clothing of the N MISFIT PARLORS Get the best It is easier, too, to achieve the Misfit Clothing Parlor's clothing it costs less.
