Newport, Or., Oct. 9. -While
out bear-hunting last evening,
about four miles-northeast of this
city, Jerome Young accidentally
shot and killed Fred, his fifteen-year-old
son. Young had climbed
a tree to take a look around and
was descending when his 30:30
rifle caught on a limb" and was
discharged; the bullet struck his
son, who stood underneath the
the tree, in the abdomen, passed
through his body and made its
exit through the spine, making a
fearful and deadly wound. The
grief-stricken parent hurried the
wounded boy to the Monterey
Hotel about two miles distant,
and the nearest point for as
sistance. A telephone message
to this place brought out a phy
siciai and the mother, who ar
rived just as the lad was breath
ing his last. He was conscious
long enough to recognize his
mother before he died.
Mount Angel, Or., Oct. 9.
Following a careful investiga

Fathers, 15 miles east of Mount
Argel. It had long been the be
lef of the owners that their
fountain property was pregnant
ith iarge veins of bituminous
coal. Every indication that the
Jand is coal-bearing is present,
but up to the present time little
Orno prospecting has been done,
nr has there been any develop
me"t work. 'The surface out
popping of an eight-foot vein
d two other undeveloped veins
hRs attracted the attention of
mining experts. The property
15 leased to a Portland concern.

BEES AS BUILDERS. '
Marvelous Instinct Displayed In Con
structing Honeycombs.
From the viewpoint of the stu
dent of natural hisiory mul others
interested in mathematics, struc
tural engineering and the marvel
ous instinct displayed by titiv in
sects there are more things than
honey in a piece of honeycomb. A.
II. Oodard, writing in the Scientific
American, says that one of the most
interesting features of the work of
bees is the home and storehouse
which they build for themselves.
Nearly every one lias seen a piece
of honeycomb, but prohablv few
realize how perfect a piece of archi
tecture it is for' the purpose intend
ed. It is perfect because it combines
these three qualities: It has no
waste room, it lias the greatt pos--sible
strength, and it is constructed
out of the least possible material.
- If we look at the face of a piece
of comb we observe that the cells
are six sided. Did you ever stop to
think why? The answer is because
that is the only shape that will ful
fill the above conditions. In the
first place, there are only three
forms of cells that can be placed
side by side without leaving waste
spaces between. These are the tri
angle, the square and the hexagon.
Secondly, the more nearly round a
hollow object is the more pressure
will be renuired to crush it, a fact
well known to every one, and. third
ly, the more round it is the less ma
terial will it take to complete its
peripheral wall. One might almost
imagine that these last two facts
are recognized by the boas them
selves, for in the case of a special
cell that they construct for their
queen, where there is only a single
cell built up on the edge, this cell is
always round and not hexagonal.

The Radiant Boy.
An interest ins; house of commons
ghost is the "radiant boy." This
child ghost has been many times
seen and heard. Its complexion is
of the collorlcss purity of Chinese
white, a halo of silver sparkles
about its head during its perigrina
tions. and its eyes gleam in their
sockets like bright electric lamps.
It is evidently in agony, for the
palms of its hands are stiff and
turned downward, and as it p;ices
from room to room it gives utter
ance to moans of anguish and never
lifts its gaze from the floor. So far
as can be ascertained this particular
ghost has no prcspectral history,
and why it should have chosen the
house for its haunt is a mystery.
Ambergris.
Ambergris, the valuable sub
stance used so extensively in the
manufacture of perfumes, is the
product of the Eperm whale and is
found only in ''sick" whales that
is, its presence is not normal, but is
caused by a pathological condition
of the intestines. It has been found
floating upon the water and is also
taken from the intestines them
selves after the whale has died or
has been killed.' It is used as a ve
hicle for perfumes and not as an
odor itself.
