TURKS' YANKEE
ADMIRAL IRE
Bucknam Pasha Again Visits;
land of His Youth.
FAVORITE OF TWO SULTANS.
Made Hit With Abdul Hamid by Re
organizing Navy and Balking Rob
bing European Contractors Nearly
Started Mohammedan Revolt by Fail
ing to Salute French Flag at Algiers.
A short, squarely built man was a
recent visitor to New York niul Wash
ington and registered at hotels as "It
D. Uucknam, Constantinople." That
la the way Uucknam Pasha, vice ad
miral of the Ottoman navy, aid-decamp
and naval adviser to the sultan,
puts himself down when ho gels
among his old friends. The admiral
Is, or was, an American. lie has had
a career of real adventure. Twenty
seven years ago he was a cabin boy on
a schooner on the great lakes.
Hansford D. Bucknam was born In
Nova Scotia In 1809, but his parents
almost immediately moved to Maine.
At the age of fourteen he felt the call
sf the sea and followed It to the great
lakes, where he became cabin boy on a
schooner whose skipper was her owner.
The captain and his wife took a liking
to the youngster.
At sixteen Uucknam went from New
York as quartermaster of a schooner
bound for the Pacific. When the little
vessel reached Manila the captain and
the mates died of cholera, nud as the
boy was the only person left on the
waft who had studied navigation he
went before a special examining board.
j;ot a master's certificate, became n
captain at seventeen and brought his
vessel home.
Then followed many years on ranny
scenes, Including more experiences on
the great lakes.
Captured Sultan's Fancy.
Bucknam had not made many trips
across the Pacific before he was asked
by the Cramps of Philadelphia to be
come their nautical expert. 'When the
battleship Maine made her trial runs
ho was in command of her, and when
the Cramps finished the Turkish
cruiser Medjidia he was assigned to
deliver her and sent to Turkey with a
three months' contract to train hei
crow.
The' Turkish navy had been a joke,
at least since the battle of Navarino.
Somehow Abdul Ilamld took a fancy
to the American sailor and asked hlra
how ho would like a job as naval ad
viser to himself at a princely salary.
Bucknam asked for long enough leave
to come homo and get married. After
a hurried trip to San Francisco he re
ported to the sultan on April 19, l!i(M.
lie started to put things shipshape so
far as ho could. It was not long be
fore the sultan made him n pasha and
admiral and conferred on him the order
of Osmanllch and gave him a medal
for distinguished service.
Report has It that Bucknam saved
tho sultan's life when an attempt wiv
made to assassinate Abdul Humid sev
eral years ago. While tho sultan wit
returning to tho Yildiz kiosk from tin
Ilnmidloh mosque a bomb thrown lute
tho imperial escort killed scores o'
men and horses, rent the ground
thereabouts and shook neighboring,
buildings. Bucknam Pasha stepped t
the side of tho sultan's carriage nm
shouted that he would lop off any liain1
that dared rtrctch forth toward the
sultan. lie walked, sword in hand, be
side tho carriage all tho way to tin
palace. This act Abdul Ilamld never
forgot.
Balked Robbing Contractors.
Bucknam Pasha Is the llrst Chrlsltni.
who ever had actual command of tin
Turkish navy. He won the sultan'
favor by his honesty. It used to hi
the system, It is said, for English slii,
builders to get us much money as pos
slble for ships as nearly worthless i.
the sultan's ollicers would accept. The
sultan paid la one Instance $1.G7.0.0imi
and got in return an Iron tub tilled
with junk, tho whole worth perhap
$300,000. Of the money that went out
of the sultau's purse his own ollicers
got 1,'JOO,000 and tho contractors pock
eted tho modest sum of ?450,000.
AVlille bringing one of those new
vessels around from the Atlantic
Bucknam made a big hit with Mo
hammedans by neglecting to salute the
French Hag in Algerian waters. The
Ottoman government had never recog
nized the French occupation of Alge
ria, ami no Turkish ship had ever put
into Algiers since tile occupation.
A breakdown In his machinery late
one evening off the Algerian coast
obliged Bucknam to take refuge In the
port of Algiers, which by careful tim
ing lie entered Just before daybreak.
Three times the French commander
sent out word that lie was ready to
return tho Turkish salute. Buckuam's
guns did not boom, The port com
mander came to tho conclusion that
Uio habitual worthlessness of Turkish
warships extended to the guns of this
Vessel.
But the Mohammedans enme out In
mull boats ' tho thousands to see
and touch tho ship of tho ono great
irco power still ruled by Islam's' great
caliph. They kissed tho ship, they
crowded her decks, they filled flasks
from tho sacred wnter that washed
her sides, and they prayed. From far
iway in tho Interior faithful Mussul
mans made a three days' pilgrimage
v p"mp, back.
Why He Wanted References.
At a credit men's dinner one of the
Tetcrans told this story! "In the recou
structlou days n man from n Missis
sippi valley town came to our western
house ono day. We had sold him be
fore In n small way, and he always
paid. He had enlarged his business,
he told us, nnd wanted a bigger line
than usual, hut beforo making his se
lections ho wnnted us to. give him ref
crcuccs. We expressed surpiise at
such nn unheard of demand, but he
said, "My two brothers-in-law have
gone In with uio, und thcy'ro very par
ticular as to whom they do busluess
with.' So wo sent him to our banks,
and' ho came back, Bald we were all
right, picked out a big lino of goods,
nnd in sixty days ho 'busted.' We
couldn't collect a dollar. Two. years
later I met tho man In Cincinnati and
told him we had bocomo reconciled to
our loss. 'But will you plcaso tell me,'
I asked, wliy did you want references
as to our credit 7 'Well, you see,' ho
answered, 'I wanted to know if you
could stand it. "Exchange.
No Law's Delay Hero.
In Porak, in tho Malay peninsula,
lawyers find no business, for a modi
fied form of trial by ordeal decides all
disputes. In placo of tho legal practi
tlouor tho picador is a natlvo boy who
Is assigned to one or tho other of the
sides and Is given a bamboo tube in
'which is sealed tho pleading of the
person or party whom ho represents.
When all Is ready two stakes arc
driven Into tha bed of a stream, and
by a'd of a bamboo polo tho heads of
the tvo boys aro submerged at the
same time. By grasping the stakes
they ai'o enabled to remain under wa
ter for quite awhllo after their natural
Inclination would bring them to thn
surface, but at last ono of them gives
in and, releasing his hold of tho stake,
comes to the air. He Is Immediately
seized, and tho tubo ha holds Is cast
aside. The other lad is led ashore, his
tubo opened, and the document con
tained therein stands as tho decision in
the case.
Scott Relics at Abbotsford.
Tho present cstato of Abbotsford won
formed during tho years 1811 to 1817
from various small farms, the first
ono purchased bearing tho "inhnrmo
nloua designation" Clarty Hole. After
Sir Walter Scott's death In 183 i a com
mittee of friends collected 8,000 to
ward tho redemption of tho estate, and
Mr. Cadell, tho publisher, contributed
the rest on receiving tho rights over
Scott's works. The library and mu
seum had been given somo years be
foro by tho creditors. As his son,
Lieutenant Colonel W. Scott, died on
his way homo from India, tha prop
erty descended to .T. It. Lockhart, his
son-in-law, nnd thence to his daugh
ter's husband, J. It. Hope-Scott, whoso
daughter held tho estate for some
years. Many Scott relics nro preserv
ed In tho house, notably his chair and
writing table in tho study and his hat

Hard For the Eskimos.
One of tho difficulties of tho Mora
vian missionaries in Labrador is to
make the Old Testament, with its
wealth of pastoral detail, intelligible
to tho Eskimos, not ono of whom has
ever seen a horse. "Sheep and cattle,"
says Uesketh I'rltchard In "Hunting
Camps In Wood und Wilderness,"
"they cannot realize or conceive of,
for there are no domesticated animals
save dogs in that portion of tho poniu
sula. They comprehend tho story ot
Esau, the hunter, and that of ,'jamsun
and tho Hon, which animal can he
translated as polar bear, but of Abra
ham in tho land o Mesopotamia they
can form no picture. The nearest ap
proach to these ideas Is drawn from
tho harvest of the sea, seals and tlsh
taking tho placo of flocks nud herds."
Mistletoe a Menace.
Few people who know mistletoe only
as a desirable feature of Christmas
decorations understand that tho plant
Is a parasite dangerous to tho life of
trees in the regions in which it grows.
Jt is only a question of time after
mistletoe once begins to grow upon a
tree before tho tree Itself will bo
killed. Tho parasite saps the life of
tho infected branches. Fortunately it
Is of slow growth, taking years to de
velop to largo proportions, but when
neglected It invnriably ruins nil trees
it reaches. The only method of exter
mination is tho cutting down of dis
eased trees. Exchange.

1 BEE. KEEPING
KEEPING A FEW BEES.
An Easy Way of Supplying the Tablo
or Adding to One's Income,
j Any person living upon a farm or
In tho outskirts of a village would
And it a pleasure nnd a profit to keep
ono or more colonies of bees, especial
ly if he desires to have a fow dollars
of his own. The honey bee Is a
benefactor to our race, roaming tho
fields at will, gathering honey and
pollen, which It pays for in the fertili
zation of tho flowers. She takes noth
ing from the fertility of tho soil, but
I gives to it ono of tho greatest fertiliz
i ers known, the clovers, which would
become extinct If it were not for her
agency in fertilizing tho bloom. No
land ia required except a spot on
which to place the hlve3.
The fear of stings, I think, provont3
many from not liking the work, and
yet, when properly protected with a
1 bee veil, and working only in the
warm part of the day, and never when
cloudy, rainy or cold, and with tho
' .use of a good smoker, one need rarely
bo stung. In many cases the sting
of a bee is attended with much pain
nnd dwelling, while In others there Is
' no doubt that the system can soon be
! come Inured to the poison so that no
' bad effects aro produced. Well the
writer recollects the time when a beo
sting was very painful to him and
I was always attended with much pain
I and swelling. I know there is a sort
1 of current Impression to tho offect
that bees will sting some people more
' than others. While this Is true, it is
' not because they are aole to recog
l nlze any peculiar physical condition
i or difference, nor is It because one
person smells to the bees differently
from another. It is because they no
, tlce a difference in behavior of dif
1 ferent persons. Avoid quick mo
tions; do not breathe upon them, and
If there are other bees flying about In
search of plunder do not leave the
hive open too long. In case of acci
dents the smoker should be used
i freely, and it ought to be at hand for
' any manipulation in the apiary. It
is much easier to prevent tho anger
of bees than to put a stop to it after
it haB begun. If you mismanage a
colony of bees and rouse their anger
It is quite likely that this disposition
will remain with them for a few days.
A bee away from home, or laden
with honey, never volunteers an at
I tack. This is so well established and
so well known by apiarists that If I
were not writing mainly for beginners
I should not think of mentioning it.
: Thus, in order to render bees harm
less it is only necessary to cause them
to fill themselves with honey, and this
is done by frightening them with
smoke. When smoke Is driven Into a
hive through the entrance the bees
1 at once begin filling themselves with
honey. But with them, as with hu
man beings, it is tho most experienced
i that are the slowest to take fright
So when the old bees are all at homo
' it is more dllllcult and takes more
i time to compel them all to fill them
' selves. For this reason It is much
safer to handle bees during the warm-
est part of tho day, or at a time when
the greater part of the old bees are
j in the field. The bees which compose
a swarm aro usually filled with honey
! for the Journey that they expect to
take, and are harmless tinle3s crush
ed or very much irritated by the an
ger of others and the smell of the
poison. It Is not absolutely necessary
to smoke a colony of bees till all the
bees fill themselves with honey In or
der to handle them safely, but It is
certainly the safest method. F. G.
Herman.
Bees Friends of Farmers.
If every farmer and fruit grower
were to take tho advice offered re
cently in a remarkable lecture beforo
the -Farmers' Club, London, British
crops would probably be multiplied in
value by millions of pounds.
Mr. Herrod, proving his conten
tions by admirable slides, made out
the bee to be one of the greatest
I friends of tho human race. Formic
acid, which no chemist can make, Is
obtained direct from the bees in
America and used as a cure for rheu
matism and in the hospitals honey Is
now employed as a valuable substi
tute for cod liver oil.
But the farmer and fruit grower
receive the most valuable boon. It
is proved that apples are earlier,
larger and much more numerous
where bees aro In quantity. Somo
photographs showed that misshapen
and stunted apples are duo principally
to bad fertilization and the perfect
strawberry needs 100 to 300 acts of
fertilization.
Now Zealand, which now exports
clover seed, could not grow any till a
cargo of bumble bees was sent over,
and a number of California fruit grow
ers failed till bees were kept.
Tho marvelous statement of Dar
win that flowers, especially red clov
er, are finer where cats are most
numerous was corroborated. Only
the bumble bee fertilizes tho first crop
of red clover, the smaller flowers of
tho second crop can be reached by
honey bees; the great enemy of the
bumblo beo is the field mouse; the
great enemy of the field mouse is the
cat. Therefore, flowers are best where
cats aro many. It would be not less
true to say. that tho clover is best
where owls are most frequent.

Cliff of Natural Glass.
A cliff of natural glass can be seen
' in Yellowstone park. It is half a mile
long and from 1C0 to 200 feet high.
tho material of which It consists being
as good glass as that artificially manu
factured. Tho dense glass which
forms tho base Is from seventy-five to
a hundred feet thick, while tho upper
portion, having suffered nnd survived
mauy ages of wind nnd rain, has natu
rally worn much thinner. Of course
tho color of tho cliff Is not thnt of nat
ural glass transparent and white but
Is mostly black and In some places
mottled and streaked with brownish
red nnd shades of olive green and
brown.
