MOULTON. AltMKItS In HiIm country arc Just ciiiiiltiK to realize tin' debt which they owe tn tin honey bee. It lias long Itci'M understood, of ((inr.se, that this htisy little in sect fertilizes tlic blossoms of ui jilo nnil other fruit tree anil so helps to Increase thi! crop, yet the bee'has seldom been credited with iIoIiik so much Kood iih Is nrtiially tin.' case. Itidoetl, In tline.s past Miini) fruit growers havo sotumt to L'et rid of the bees on the Hi-omul that they dnmiiKO the ripe .fruit.. The crop no quickly decreased In size, how lover, that the fruit men were Kind oiioiikIi to liuvo tho hees hack iiKnln. There l.s a well-established hellef that hees puncture Krupcs In or der to extract the sweet Juice, hut the fallacy of this hellef has heen proved beyond a doubt. Klpo fruit Iiiih been placed Inside a beehive, with thou Hands of the Insects present, hut It has not been 'molested. It Is true that If hornets or birds make 'holes In grapes, pears or other ripe fruit, the bees .will feed on the Juice which Is exuded. In point jof fact, the Jaws of the. honey bee tiro so niiido thnt It would bo unable to bite Into or otherwise iinuko holes In fruit, even If It had a will to do so. Orchards In which bees are present In larKo numbers are almost always much more productive thau those In which only a few bees are to be .found and mnny apple growers tiro now es tablishing apiaries In or near their orchards. It l.s 'not necessary to have the hives actually under the itrce.s and It may be better to have them In an ad UolnliiK Ibid If the orchard Is to be cultivated, as therwlse the hives might be In the way and the (horses stuiiK. lJces seem to have an Instinctive dislike for horses and will even attack the bee keeper MMiiotluies If lie starts to work In the bee yard when the odor of horses Is upon bin clothing. Jlcekccplng Is not to lie recommended to hostlers. 1 To the orcharillst tho honey and wax which he gets from his bees are merely by-products. An iextru yield In fruit Is what he Is after. And he IKCts It, as may be Judged from an Instance cited jhy one of the state experiment stations. It seems ithat two orchards situated In the same part of (the country were cultivated In exactly the same, fruiinner and had the same kinds of trees. Yet one jwiiB prollllc and the other a failure. When tho experiment station was appealed to, tho trouble iwtis diagnosed as a lack of bees to pollinate the powers. "You are wrong," the answer was Hashed .back, "for there are no bees In either orchard." Tho Inspector A'ns not convinced, however, ami After a search lie found a very strong colony of bees In a fallen log In one corner of tho bearing orchard. Hees were Immediately Installed In the lother orchard by the owner, and as n result ho (netted nearly $4,000 tho next season pretty good Interest on an Investment of $15 or $-0 In hees. i Most people do not know that an apple blossom requires to bo fertilized several times In order to produce tho best fruit, but this Is n fact. More over, the blossoms of some trees must be polllnlzed from another source If fruit Is to he set. The (work Is dono largely by honey bees, although wild dees and other Insects help out to some extent. Once, as n test case, 12,580 apple blossoms wero jcovered In order to keep tho bees away, and only three apples matured. Of course, tho bee does not nolllnlze the blossoms purposely.

The value derived from the cross fertilization of blossoms in this way Is probably much greater than that of nil the honey and wax made by tho sum total of all the bees In the country. It Is practically Impossible to grow cucumbers In tho greenhouse unless bees arc depended upon to fertilize the blossoms, and so tho market gar deners are obliged to yield tribute to this useful Insect, liven In the dead of winter, with snow drifts six feet high outside, thousands of bees are to bo found Hying around In the great glass bouses where cucumbers aru produced for the exclusive winter trade. It Is true that the bees get but lit tle nectar from the blossoms and have to he fed on sugar sirup, but they accomplish the purpose of transferring pollen from one llowor to another. Of course this work might be done artltkially. That is, a man might go from one blossom to an other with a small brush and transfer the pollen, but the process would be tedious ami too expen- rnrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnrrrnnrwyvrvwwYywwvw1 Our Opportunity In Latin America i a . tSAwVVkwSAAJAAAAAAAJAAAAAA i By JOHN BARRETT, In the Review of Reviews. These are tho times when everybody should ho studying tho twenty American republics lying south of tho United States. These are the days of unprecedented and legitimate opportunity In Latin America for tho commercial and financial Interests of this couutry. This present year phould be tho beginning of a new epoch In the material, social nnd political relations of North and South America. The next ten years nro going to be "all Ameri can" years. All America Is to attract tho atten lon of all Americans. This new development Is novltnblc. The causo Is found In the natural wealth, resources nnd potentialities of Central and South America, their actual commerce and trade, their remorknble progress during recent yenrs, together wltb tho unceasing propaganda of tho I'an-Amerlcan union, which was at tlrst oven ridiculed and little appreciated, but Is now generally valued and recognized. The occasion of this now Interest at this moment Is the Kuro jienn wtir and tho emphasis It has placed upon iho geographical segregation and commercial soli darity of tho nations of thu western hemisphere. Consider Latin America In any phuso one pre fers, and It Is worthy of keen Interest. Let us ilrst look at It geographically and physically. Wo woo twenty countries rnnglng In area from llttlo Salvador, with less than 8,000 square miles, or Einnller than Vermont, up to mighty Urazil, with n,200,000 square miles, or greater than the United Btatos proper with Great Ilrltnln thrown In! In all, they spread over nearly U.OOO.OOO square miles, or three times tho connected area of the United States! They contain mountains higher, rivers longer and more navigable, valleys wider and more fertile, and climates more varied than those of the United States. Noting tho population, we find that Costa Itlca starts the small end of the list with -lOO.OOO In habitants, and ltritzU tops It with V!0,000,000. All Latin America supports today approximately n population of T.'.OOO.OOO, which Is Increasing by reproduction faster than is the population of the United States. When the new emigration from Kurope starts In after the war. and when the I'muium canal Is In full use by the shipping of u peaceful Kuropo, this total may soon overtake and pass that of the big sister nation of North Amer ica. We nro almost astonished by the figures of Latin-American commerce. They make us respect mnny of the southern republics and peoples, even If some other Intluences may not be so favorable. Last year the twenty southern neighbors of tho United States, through sheer strength and capac ity, pushed up the total of their foreign trade to the huge bum of nearly fl.OOO.OOO.OOO. This was divided almost equally between exports and Im ports, with tho actual balance of trade In their favor. Argentina, for example, with an ambitious, vigorous and prosperous pcoplo numbering about nlno millions of souls, conducted n foreign com merce valued at tho surprising totnl of $000,000, 000, which makes an average of about $100 per head.

It bus to be done In green houses where stniw berries are grown, for wher bees arc used tho fruit l.s always misshapen, but the winter strawberries sell for u dullar or two n pint' IVihaps It may he said without getting an.liody Into trouble that the free use of water by .spray ing makes pusslble some of the reiiuui-ahle ex hibitions which bees occasionally give. Water l.s not always u"d, by nn menus, hut when it Is tho bees are rendenil surprisingly tractable and doe lie. There uie no bee tamers, however, who tue not -tiiii' at times. Indeed, they may be stung ery ulien, hut they are Inured to the expe rience and do not cen wince. Anil, of course, an epeii( need beekeeper learns ho.v to handle bees without making them angry. JY.rthcnii'iro, some bees are much gentler than others .Many times It Is a good plan to kill the queen In a eioss col ony mid replace her with a young qui-cii from a quiet colony. Vet the cross bee are likely to be among the bet honey producers In the apiary. Many fanners fall to succeed with bees simply because they neglect to learn anything about their management. It is true that bees do not require a great amount of attention and do best when left' nlone most of the time. Yet (here are cer tain things which have to be done Just nt the light time and In Just the right way. These are the few things that the farmer should know about. In early spring, for example, the bees may easily starve to death for hick of stores, although they may have come through the winter safely. In that event they must he fed on sugar sirup If no honey Is available. Kqunt amounts of sugar ami water may be used and It Is best to have the water warmed, but the sugar should never be melted on the stove, as It Is likely to be burned. The sirup may be given In one of several different kinds of feeders, but few are better thnn a .shallow pan from the ten-cent store with u little excel blor In It for the bees to walk on. If this pan tilled with sirup Is placed on top of the frames of tho hives the bees will quickly take the liquid down and be tided over the period of famine. It Is a mistake for any farmer to try to keep bees In the old-fashioned box hives, for they cunnot bo managed so well and getting the honey out Is likely to be a painful as well us exciting process. Likewise, thousands of bees arc needlessly sacrificed, and the hives are ulinost suro to be neglected. Modern hives cost but little, yet may be tuken entirely to pieces and tho bees looked over without the loss uf u single one. And taking honey out Is no trouble at all, when a bee escape Is used, for the bees do not even know what Is going on. The best way to begin beekeeping Is to buy a colony or two from some up-to-date apiarist In the neighborhood, but a hive full of been can be shipped by express or the Insects may bo bought by the pound If one already has tin empty hive. Indeed, this Is a practice which Is becoming very common, for even experienced beekeepers often Invest In one, two or three-pound packages of bees In order to build up weak colonies. It Is not an unusual thing for bees to bo shipped ull the way from Texas to Canada. Sometimes wild bees may be cuptured In the woods and brought home. Although called wild bees, these honey makers which nro found In logs and hollow trees have escaped from captivity at some time, for there wero no honey bees In this country until they were brought here by the 111 grlm Fathers. If the farmer owns more than half a dozen colo nies of bees It will pay him to get an extractor. This is n simple device for separating the honey from the combs, the latter being placid In a frame which revolves at a high rate of speed, the liquid honey being thrown out of the wax cells by centrifugal force, Just as cream Is separated from mill;. Then the combs may be put back In the hives for the bees to till again. The farmer can usually get more honey this way and will have le-s swarming. lying on the I'tuille coast of South America (like the states of California, Oregon and Washington, on the I'ueltlc slope of the United States), cover ing an area of nearly ItOO.OOO square miles, or more than that of Texas, and directly tributary to the I'liuama canal, bought and sold In foreign com merce products valued at nearly $202,000,000. Advantages of the Telephone. I'viiu It. Stotseiiburg, attorney general, tells a story concerning the early duys of the telephone In New Albany. A character of the town, who opernted tin olllce In rooms Just above the livery stable, was Im pressed with the benefits of the telephone and hail one placed In his olllce. Meanwhile the new-fangled Instrument also went Into the livery stable. Then the town char acter sat down and waited for someono to tnke advantage of tho new Instrument. No one' did. One day the telephone bell in the livery stable, however, rang with nil Its might. "Hello," yelled tho livery stable proprietor. "Hello, yourself," answered the voice of tho town character, upstairs. "Just pass me the broom up through the front windows, will you?" said the voice. Indianapolis News. Seventy per cent of tho world's cork supply Is said to bo produced In Spain and Portugal.

The stirring events of this lesson oc curred In the Castle Antoula and the Sanhedriii hall, near the temple court of Jerusalem; also In Caesaren, tho ltomau capital of Judea, on the Medl teranean coast, tu the year A. D. 57, Just at the close of Paul's third mis sionary Journey. The lesson pictures wo successive days of strange adven tures In which Paul was concerned, n narrow escape and the unexpected providences used In his deliverance. The day was Inaugurated by Paul's magic words "I am a Itouuin citizen," which caused the commander, I.yslns, to release him from the threatened scourging, and made him more than ordinarily careful In his treatment of Paul. I. Before the Elders (vv. 1-12). P.y referring back to chapter 21, v. Ill, wo find tie charge which really underlay all of Paul's trouble, his preaching In the Hume of the Lord Jesus. Paul's defense Is Interesting. He gives us a rehearsal of his Christian life, laying emphasis upon Its blamelessness and the fact that he l.s not an apostate Jew. The high priest speaks to silence 111 m, but not gently. Although Paul for u moment seems to give way to Ida justlllable Indignation, ho quickly re veals bis reverenco for the rulers of the people. He then divides the san hedrln. Read carefully chapter 22 :C-7, and compare with verses 17 nnd 18. The sanhedrln could not explain this testimony of Paul, nnd were seeking to put aside tho whole question. An Interesting discussion would bo to con sider the Insult to Paul. Was his In dlgnntlon right nnd rightly expressed? Another question, tho matter of Paul's apology. Just for whut did ho apolo gize? Is It ever wrong to speak evil of rulers? Theso wero Indeed days of stress and storm. Wus Puul Justified In dividing the sanhedrln in order to conquer their opposition to him? Again, how God used theso Incidents In the furtherance of tho gosped Is a suggestive lesson for us nil. It baa been hinted thnt Ananlns was not In his priestly garments, nnd thereforo perhaps not readily recognized by Puul. Paul may newtr have seen him, us ho was elected high priest after Paul had left the council. It Is Inter esting to note thnt It Is not said that uuyotio struck Paul or that Paul did not apologize for his words or deny them to bo true, but only for their be ing spoken to the high priest. Head In this connection whut Christ said to tho Pharisees (Matt. 23:27). Taul nn ologlzcd because ho had broken tho law found In Exodus 22:28. In the trial of Christ one of tho officers struck Jesus with the palm of Ids hand, whereupon Jesus answered him, say ing: "If I have spoken evil, bear wit ness of tho evil, but If well, why smlt est thou me?" On tho other baud, when Jesus wus Ill-treated by tho com mon soldlres, ho opened not his mouth. II. The Plot and Deliverance (vv. 12 85). Paul's prospect was not a pleas ant one. In his darkness God appeared to his faithful servant to cheer him (v. 11). Perhnps Paul wus tempted to think ho had made a mistake In com ing to Jerusalem over tho protests of his friends, but evidently the Lord heartily approved of his testimony there. A dnngorouS conspiracy was forming against him, but God was, as ho always Is, beforehand with his com fort and preparation for tho crisis. We huvo often speculated as to what be came of the forty men who entered Into It (seo v. 12) whether they uc tually lived up to their oath. If they did, they must have died of starvation. They were determined men, willing to go any length, und fancied they wero doing the will of God. Thero Is no moro dangerous man than ho who fan cies thnt ho must bo tho Judge us to who nro God's friends nnd who nro his foes, and thnt ho Is tho appointed exe cutioner of God's Judgment. Tho plot was well laid, and seemed certain of success, but It fulled mlserubly. (Seo Psalm 2:1-1; 04:1-10; Isaiah 41:10). Tho wicked, who leave God out of their plans, no matter how cunningly they plot, nro doomed to failure (Horn. 8:31). Theso plotters co-operated with tho priest. Ecclesiastics havo often descended to tho lowest villainy. Men are not murdered todny, though their reputations arc often blasted by un principled nnd hellishly Impelled pro fessed followers of tho lowly Nuzn rene. Paul had frleads In this city.
