Brooke and a large force of soldiers have located in tho mountains for the purpose of protecting thorn from the hostile Indians. The fact that many frontiersmen well acquainted with the country have joined the stampedo is additional evidence that the rumors of the existence of gold in the mountains have a groundwork of merit.

is now known beyond doubt that this principle of cross-fertilization in planus
is one ui me mosi important aud necessary. The shapes, internal and external, of flowers are frequently designed with special reference to bringing it about. Only two agents are universally capable of crossing all kinds of flowers insects and the wind. The former are attracted by bright colors and sweet perfumes, and theflowers which reauire in

The perfumes of grasses are not so abundant as those of other plants, although they aro quite as distinctive The well known smell of now-mown hay is evolved chiefly by tho sweetsmelling vernal grass and no other. The presence of this species is quite sufficient to perfume the rest and to produce that most delightful of summery smells, the odor of tho hay-Hold.

The Heney-Kee. The honey-bee is the emblem of order
and industry. The queen is the mother of the whole hive, and her eggs become males, females and workers, or neuters, which last make tho combs and cells, and collect the honey. The queen pro-, duces some thousands of workers, and then males, which the workers kill at the end of summer. The workers attend the queen with anxious respect. If -she die, they raise a new one by various arts from a working worm. Two oueens
can not livo in the same hive, and one is destroyed. The females or workers havo a sting, but the males or drones none In proportionate size the queen bee is eight and one-half,the male seven and the workers six. A queen will lay 200 eggs daily for fifty or sixty days, and the eggs are hatched in three days. The workers are five days in tlie worm state, and in twenty days they become bees. The males are six or seven days in the worm state, and twentyfour days'in becoming perfect bees. A queen is five days in the worm state, and in sixteen days is perfect. When eggs are converted into queens the old queen destroys them, or if there are two young queens they fight until one has killed the other. One author asserts that a single queen has produced 100,000 bees in a season. Every thing depends on the workers ; they collect the honey, make wax and build the combs : thev sunnlv
the worms with food and protect the entrance of the hive, separate business
being performed bv olasses. There are
about 9,000 cells in a comb of a foot
square. Their ftrst,purpoe is as nurser
ies for the voting, and thev are thee
cleaned and filled with honey. Five thousand bees weigh a pound. Igtaty or thirty pounds of honey are gowally t
;ot from a hive ; sometimes eighty or 00 pounds, and even more. A swarm
of bees contains from 10,000 to 10,000 in a natural state and from 30,000 to 40,000 in a hive. All the experiments on
bees prove that love for their queen and her progeny is the sole stimulus to their persevering industry. Theifidv. grief
and other passions are distinguished in1 the tone of their humming, which to them are articulnte sounds.
