In a swarm there nro three classes of I iocs luules. foniiiU'S and workers. The worker were formerly known as neuters, but they nre now known to be undeveloped felonies.

If you put lu a gluas window, they will coTcr that, too, with this same waxy substance, called propolis, for they do not like tho light During tho first twenty-four hours In this new homs the bees that baa plentiful supply of Jloney In their crops are busy making wax, of which to form the comb, lb wax Is formed within the body of th boca. Then a number of them susKnd themselves from the top of tho hive, hanging by tho hooks on their hind feet. Others attach themselves to tbeso end bang In the aamo way, nnd so n until a cluster of bees la formed some timca weighing three or four pound. Here they remain for about twenty four hours, when the wax begin to coze out from under tho scales be tween the segments of the abdomen. Ono bee detaches herself from the cluster, climbs to the top of the hive, turns herself around several time to crowd the bees out of the way and be gin to pick the wax off her abdomen and form It Into a llttlo lump. An other" boo soon tnke hor place, then another and another until a large, thin pinto of wax" hang where the bees were. Colls for brood and honey ore next begun on both -Bides of thla plate.

Still another detachment la en gaged In guarding the entrance agalnat marauders.. When the bee have finished a large brood comb, the queen begins to lay egg nt the rato of about 200 a day placing one egg In each cell. All these egg will produce worker. After con tinuing thl process for about a month or six weeks she begins to lay mule egg in the larger cells, stopping once. In two or three day to place a female egg lu one of tho royal cells. If ffou) any cause.-tho queen should bo re moved from the hive when there ore no eggs or Inrvie In tho royal colls, the bee nt onco enlarge a worker cell and feed tho larva on royal Jelly Instead of the pollen, etc., given to tho worker larva?. The larva develop Into a queen, and tliOj life of the colony 1 again In sured. Should there be no worker egg or very young larvro lu the comb tho boes become distracted, quit work, wander about aimlessly and soon die or arc destroyed by their, enemies. If j things movo on normally, the first egg placed In a royal cell Is batched, passes through the larval and pupal stages and becomes fully developed and ready for liberation la sixteen days. The old queen then become restless and wan ders about lu search of the young prin cess. The bees stand guard over her and 'close up the coll so that she can not esonpe. They keep the old queen away from the royal cell or her sting would soon put an end to all life there. On the first fine day tire old queen, with a lnrgo number of the bees, loaves tho hive and seeks new home. The young queen Is now allowed to come forth from her cell, and if the swarm Is too weak to send off another swarm she Is allowed to kill the remaining princesses In their cells. After a few days she leaves the hive and, with the drones, takes flight In the air, return ing lu about half an' hour to repeat the life of ber mother. Tho common bumblebee is also social In Ita habits, but the number In sin glo colony la very small, usually from ten to thirty. Their mission seems to bo to carry pollen from male to female flowers liko their more aristocratic cousins, the honeybees. Their nests nro built In tho ground, and all drones and workers dio In the fall, only the queen hibernating or living over to the following season. There may be more thnn one queen In a colony. There ore several species of solitary bee. Tbcwo bee are of but two classes, innlo and female, the latter doing all the work.

In earth, clay or wood, and dotNmits in each an egg and a supply of pollen and sometimes a, little honey for food for the grub. There arc two groups of wasps, the solitary and the social. Of the so clnl group the common hornet Is good example. The social wasps live In colonies of from 100 to 000 mem bers and consist of male, female nnd workers, as do the bee. The fe male and worker all have powerful stings, which tliey nse on the least provox-atiou. AIL except a few xpung queens, die on the approach of winter.

Mr. flpeaker, this Congress - has furnished an unprecedented record in the uumber ol Hi uiemtier wao have been taken away. Their depart' ure baa brought death very near to every one of u. It is hardly poetic exaggeration to say: Mon drop so fast, ere life's tuid-dtsge we tread, few know so many u ieuda alive as dead. Yet in their loss there U a priealem heritage for us. It teaches, lu the first place, bow Urtetio' must a be legislative career at best; and in that broader aspect of Its influouce upon the country, death smoolhetw adver sities, it destroys animosities, it buries forever sectional distrust. II teaches ua to think lees of party and of state and more of country and of humanity.. XSo death was more sudden or unexiected than that of Tbomcs II. Tongue. In the evening he was conversing pleasantly wilh his son ami wl'h his daughter. On tho mor row he was cold in death. Swiftly following constant messages of love and of hope to hi father and mother, his wife and children, on the far-off Pacific Coast came- the telegraphic message like a black cloud in the clear sky, announcing his death. His Ufa was essentially that of a pioneer. He went to Oregon before its admission as a state, 12 years before a railway had been constructed within Its borders, at a time when that great commonwealth, now numbering more than 400,000 people, bad less than 50,000; when Portland, now. a prosperous and growing me tropolis, was little moro than a strug gling village. His early surroundings Inured him to toil and adversity. There was no royal road to success in any promise that was bold nut to him; but the very obstacles with which he had to contend stimulated those mighty hopes that make men great. He was essentially a product of Ihe country; and, Just as rural stti round ing furnish a clearer moral atmos phere, and they exorcised .a very prominent influence upon bis life work. He was a .lawyer, but he was Interested as well In farming and In public affairs; one who was In touch with a groat multitude of people and a great variety of interest, Where the simpler phase of life mingle with those enterprise and interests which are regarded a greater and more Important. lie eume to Washington all untried and unknown. It wa iieooiary for him lo learn the rules and to find out something of Ihe complicated methods In which business is trans acted. But as far as regarded honesty and patriotism ho bad no need of any lessons. Those were Implanted in him In the beginning, and he furnished an illustration of tho fuel that for a career in Congress that equipment which la most needed, and which In the long run must tell most powerfully, Is conscience and regard for duty. His legislative career, though not long nevertheless has ita monuments. He was cbair. man of the committee on arid lands at the lime when that very import ant Innovation was adopted by which the central government undertakes the reclamation of vast tracts of desert lands. .. His name will be Inseperably linked with this meas ure, under which millions of acres will be added to the National domain of arid lands, and It Is hoped will furnish additional opportunity and additional prosperity lo our common country. As a member of the committee on rivers and harbors, bis first solicitude was for his state and for the. Pacific Coasl; bat, like all otners, necame with time to realize the importance of those bioader responsibilities and duties which cause a man lo lay hold upon all the Interests of this , . . - great country, ue recogninoi wo importance of Improved m tnoos oi internal communication, recognized how much Ihe growth of the country depends upon Ihe development oi our porto; and, while conservative and careful, he adopted that liberal nollcy which made him an advocate of Improvement in this direction, gave him a new comprehension ami qualities for leadership la this great department. We can say of him mat ne was our friend, lalthful and Just lo us; bul II our personal loan i great, how ranch greater must be the low and how much keener Ihe sorrow or tne father and mother, each more than fonr score, whneo hope he was; of the wife, who was prostrated hy the sudden news of bis death; of the son nd daughters, to whom he gave his constant solicitude and affection Uur words cannot be adetiuate to express ur sympathy t;r theui or duly describe their great bereave ment. Wilh this poor tribute we tuudt bid him farewell. Wa leave his mortal rcuiaitia iu 'I lie cemetery ol the little village where he always loved to dwell. There lot the low wiuds over mountain and valley die down to a requiem lu bis memory In bis life work, although he was cut off before his career had nut bed its lull fruition of accompli.--hment, there is nevertheless an inspiration aud an example which will be like a flower of perennial bloom to all those who kuew and all those who will come after hiiu, becauee of bis faith ful, conscientious, brave service for his slate and for hla country. Representative Roswell P. Bishop, of Ohio, member of the river and harbors committee, gave the follow ing account of Mr. Tongue's last homecoming: It was my sad duty, as one of the members of a committee, to aocom puny his remains from the City of Washington, to their last resting place, in the state he so dearly loved. Tho love and veneration in which he was held was mast amply testified to by the people of the entire stato as soon as we had entered within its borders. Every town and hamlet contributed its entire quota of cllizons, who sfsxl along the track with bowed and uueovered heads and with sad faced, lo watch tho passing of our train, bearing all that was left of the friend they loved and the statesman thl y had lost. x In his own towu, on the day of the funeral, thousands gathered from all parts of the state. The Oovernor, all of tho stale ofllcors, both branches of the Legislature, the Supreme Court, and the Judges ol tho various courts, together Vitb other distin guished citizens of tho state, were all there to testify to their love and esteem and their realizition '.of their bereavement. A many . as could gathered In the little church which be ma do his chris ian home almost from boyhood, while the sor rowing multiude stood along the street on the outside, heedless of the inclement weather, anxious only to show bow keenly they felt the lors of their friend and' their representa tive. Inside tho little church, amidst a wealth of flowers, the old pastor, with trembling voice and faltering words, spoko but Ihe echo of all who had khown Mr. Tongue during his lifetime. It was a touching scene. and one might well say that thrice blest Is the man who can thus live iu a community aud thus die, retain ing 'always the respect, love aud esteem of all. . We foil wed him to his last resting place In the little grove of piue trees out-idq.of town and consigned him to mother eatli in the Valley of the Willamette, whose very soil be had enriched by bis toil among Ibe peoplo who had watched his growth from boyhood; who had watched him In bis rising career; who had rejoiced with bis success, and who had sorrowed with his family at the loss of their, friend. The patlu he had trod from his vouog manhood to tho last hour of his life was not one of ease and worldly pleasure. He courted con tact with the stern realities and matched bis great abilities, his sturdy will and tire'ess endeavor agaiost the obstacles" that might appal one less reliant. But all along that pathway are planted the (lowers of friendship, of kindly aud generous deeds, which have giveu out their sweet perfume to bless and gladden the lives of others, and which' will continue to grow and shed their fragrance in Ihe year lo come. Representative Stephen M. Spark man (democrat) of Flordia, told of Mr Tongue's committee work as follow: It was in the committee-room per haps, where hit best work was done as m National Legislator. It wis my good fortune to be with him on the river and harbors committee whose labors touch more intimately the de velopment of thla country than all other. There projects aro devised and appropriation recommended for the Improvements of those rivers end harbor over which and through which onr vast and growing com merce is carried by water, whether interstate or inwaid or outward bound. In dealing, as member of tbat committee have to deal, withthe necessities of all section of thecotinlry Mr Tonguo showed a breadth of view and a profound comprehension of Ihe commercial needs of the country tbat qualified him in every way for this great work. True he never lost sight of hi own statu and people, but he labored likewise for the entire country, foresuting aud ignoring state aud district Hues In his service la the committee-room aud on the ttior of tho House, He and 1 differed la our political views, ho belonging to one and I to the other of the two great parties of lhocountry;but if I had waited to find out from social intercourse with him or from worn in committees that this difference existed I should have ever remained in ignorance, perhaps, of his political opinions and sentiments, for bo is not what Is usually called a bitter partisan-. v But he ha gone from among us, Mr. Speaker, and others from time to to time a the years go by will tako the place occupied by him here, but the great State of Oregon will not Quit another more devoted to ber In terests or the country at large, ono more earnest in his labors for her up building, than was be upon whose grave we lay those tributes of love and esteem today. Representative Francis W. Cush- man, a colleague of Mr. Tongue from the Pacific Northwest, said in part: Mr. Speaker, on this sad occasion, when 'his colleagues aro paylug worthy tribute to tho memory of our deceased brother, It was not my original Intention to speak. Thero Is, however, a peculiar pro prietyIn my adding a few words today to the volume of testimony (hat attegi tho eeteem in which he was held by bis associates In this hotly. He and I both came to this chamber from tho mighty North west, from that region that was originally the Territory of Oregon. Of that region and Its vast resources and possibilities no one had a cloarer conception than the deceased. Ul beloved State of Oregon was tho center of his universe. Not that! mean to say that be bad not a broad and clear vision, for we all know to tho contrary. But his credentials ta this liody charged him especially with the interest of that region and the welfare of that people. To him it was alike, a sacred trust and a duty of love; and to Its accomplish ment he devoted himself with a singlenoss of purpose , aud with unflagging energy. Tho members of this: body who represent Eastern constituencies who reside in old and settled communities whose legislative wants are few, havo little or no conception of the labor of the mnn who represents a comparatively new region, filled with mighty and diverse interests, with many vexed and unsettled prob lems, and with a restless, energetic, patriotic peoplo. Their wants are aa numbi-rlcs as the sands of the sea shore. Such a region and such a constitu ency my friend repieseuted iu bis life lime, and we can all of us hear testi mony to the willing way in which be bent his tired shoulders to that load. The coat of arms of his beloved state be seemed to have emblazoned on hi heart. . Whatever was for her best interests, whatever was lor the great welfare of his commonwealth or the glory of her citizens, that be felt bid self-Hp pointed tusk to do. I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion it was in a large measure his arduous labors that shortened hie life. Addiks of Delaware wanted to be U. S. Senator. He had devoted friends enough lb preveit an elec tion.
