BLOCKADED BY THE BEE8. IlM TbraiuK of the Insects Make « Baltimore KimI Umlf. Hundreds of pedestrians ond ele vated and surface car passengers, truck drivers and residents of Haiti more witnessed a novel sight tho other morning. About 0 o'clock a ’ dense swarm of bees silently and sud denly swept down on that region, and for nearly three hours made the cross walks Impassable. Throngs of peo ple gathered In groups In the ad joining corners, and drlvors of ve hicles of every description from time to time made traffio Impossible. A humorous side of the occurrence was when an open car passed. It was compelled to drive through the thick est portion of the swarm. The sud den head-ducking, the speedy cover ing of faces, accompanied by the ■mothered ejaculation* of the women and the leaa elegant expletives of the men, added to the frao • tlous antics of the car horses and the frantic efforts of the driver to beat off the bee* convulsed the people on the sidewalk. At 1 o'clock . three elevated road employes swoop ed dawn on the bees. After half an hour of fruitless efforts to dislodge them they gave up the fight in dis gust. Scores of suggestions, witty, wise or worthless, came from all ■idea Finally Frank Eddy, who was one of the passengers on the elevated road, who had been stung, hit upon a plan which, after patient effort, re sulted in the capture of several thous and bees. An empty nail-keg, with one of the chines knocked out, was smeared with molasses and suspended from a guard rail of the elevated road, and dropped directly in the midst of the whirling mass. The scheme was successful. Mr. Eddy is proud of his hunt. Ho estimates tho bees numerically at 5,000, and the value of the captives at close to 950. TOOK OUT THE WRONG EYE. A Surgeon's Mistake Which I.eft the Pa tient In Total lilladnesi. “A few years ago,” said Charles J. Patterson of Philadelphia, "I learned the secret of the life of a man who had passed more than a quarter of a eentury with scaroely a smile, lie had been a physician and surgeon and on one occasion had to remove an in jured eye in order to save the other eye and prevent total blindness. The night before the operation he had been drinking heavily with some friends, and, although the following morning he was sober, his hand was unsteady and his nerves were unstrung. After ad ministering chloroform he made a fatal and horrible blunder, removing the well eye by mistake and thus consigning his patient to perpetual bllndnesa The moment he discov ered his error he turned the man over to a competent surgeon, deeded every thing he possessed to him and hurried from the neighborhood like a con vloted thlet The remainder of his life was one constant round of re morse, and he rapidly developed into a confirmed misanthrope. The secret of his life was known to a number of people, but when it was finally re vealed to me it explained a mystery and made me respect the man, for however grave was his original blun der, which in some respeota was, of course, worse than a crime, his re pentance was of the most genuine character.” INDIANS' BELIEF IN MAGIC. American Indians Vlsw the Mysterious Much ns the Asiatics Do. Very reluotantly do civilized In dians give up their ideas of magic. The Idea of worshiping growing ob jects is quite a settled one among the tribes, and some of the Btories which r connect corn and flowers with benefi cent deities are very pleasing and at tractive. Animals, too, are spoken of In a very singular and superstitious manner, and the different sizes of ■ beasts whioh are hunted is accounted for in a story of the creation which is even more realistic and practical than ; the one told in the first chapter of j Genesis. This story, which is frequently repeated with variations, ■ ia that at the time of the creation all the beasts of the field and forests clamored for priority in size. Each was vainglorious and dictatorial, and one after another was being humbled : by being made smaller than a hated enemy, the idea being that every • thing human and otherwise that was born had a prior existence, and came ' into the world with the benefit of ex perience thus derived. The doctrine t! of the transmigration of souls is so $ general among Indians of various ’■ tribes that there was nothing at all peculiar about this, and it is very probable that some of the early writers on this subject got their ideas v from exceptionally intelligent expo v nents of Indian Buddhism or some thing very similar to it In e Tree. A maple tree 100 years old, which Stands on the left bank of the river Oder, in Germany, has been curiously converted into a circular two-storied house. A flight of steps leads up to the first story, where the branches have been woven together and form a I firm leafy floor. A'aove this floor is ' another, formed in the same way; and the ends of the branches have been woven into solid walls and cut so as r.v to admit the light through eight win dows __ Bias (it Color of Homan Hair.

If Rtna Count*' This ut the in dications are said to be that, as she is now on the eastern edge of the gulf stream, she may float with it up to the trans-Atlantic steamer line, and so be a still greater peril to naviga tion. The history of that vessel alone would form a sufficient argument for carrying out promptly the proposed system of international police for the destruction of dangerous derelicts. It was shown by the commissioner of navigation in his last report that in a period of five years there had been 333 known derelicts on the Atlantic coast of North America, besides 635 wrecks whose tracks were not marked. On the pilot chart for one month alone forty-five derelicts still afloat were marked, of which more than half appeared to be in the path of the trans-Atlantic steamers. Of course many have a short career, as they speedily break op or sink, but the ex perience of the Wolston shows how persistent is the peril in some cases, for she is only one of a large number known to keep awash for years. TOOK A MEAN ADVANTACE. Knfaged Man Insisted on Kissing Hl» Fiancee in a Street Car. A young man and a young woman changed from a Belt line to a Four teenth street car at the avenue, Washington, and sat in one of the seats in the first car. He was carry ing an overcoat and a satchel and was evidently going away. She wore a shirt waist and dark skirt, as if start ing out on a shopping expedition. Just before they reached Sixth street he leaned over her and said quietly, so quietly that only the reporter back of them could hear: “I am going to kissyou good-by when I leave the “Oh, please don't,” she said appeal mgly; “not before all these people.” But be was decided and sa;d per sistently: -Yes I shall; so raise your veil. If you try to resist people will see it and wonder about you and they will look at you all the way up town after I get oiV.” 1 She glanced up shyly and then slou ly raised her .veil. He bent over her and kissed her and no one in the car looked up. A few people won dered why she was so anxious to show the diamond ring on the left hand, n'botl-v but the reporter appre ciated the fact that she was trying to justify the kissing by means of an en gagement ring.
