Honey in the Statue.

The heroic equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Ya., is believed to have hundreds of pounds of honey concealed inside of it. For months bees have been going in and out of the parted lips of both the human and the animal figure. The insects were first seen tliOrc last summer and doubtless have been making honey ever since. There is no way to get inside either figure without doing irreparable damage, but fear is entertained that vandal hands may make the attempt.
