The Kinf Bird.
InTestifAtions which have
re-
ceotly been made by Uncle 8am 's
biology survey, ' as to the bill of
fare Of the king bird, have brought
out the interesting and remarkable
fact that, while itdoes now aud then
eat bees, it is the drones and not
the workers who are his victims
When this announcement was first
made bee keepers were won't to
consider it as a pretty good joke,
but ' their 'Curiosity led - them to
make investigations, forthemselves
and they found the department
specialists were correct. Not only
did the kingbird uot attack work
ers, but he devoured many varie
ties of injurious winged insects,
while his hostility to marauding
crows and hawks is a point to his
credit, which is a matter of every
day observation'

The price of flour continues to
go higher. Quess we will have to
go back to the old way, and cut off
the biscuits till Sunday morning for
breakfast and a little extra when
the preacher comes. 'Perhaps we
will have to do as we did just after
the war when we could not bny
flour at any price. Those of us
who were so fortunate as to hare a
little wheat and a horse to carry it
it, took it to the mill and had it
ground, then we would mix flour
and meal half and half and make
biscuits, and they were good too.
If everybody would do this now it
would bring tbe price of Hour down

Farmers' Union.
Charlotte Chronicle.
The Farmer's Union as now or
ganised, is perhaps the strongest or
ganization of farmers that has ever
been known in the State. The old
Alliance was a political power in
its day, but after it had wrecked
the Democratic party, the politi
cians controlled it and who rode
into office on the backs of the
farmers, wrecked the Alliance. So
far the Farmers' Union has been
proof against the wiles of the
political). It is claimed that the
barriers against his admittance to
the Union or his influence upon it
are of a most effective kind. The
work of the Farmers' Uniou in en
conraging the warehousing of cot
ton has been welldirected and has
proved the power of organized ef
fort. The Farmers' Union also
has in its scheme of organization
system of co-operative work of
practical character. As long as
is politician-proof it is all right.

But what that something is few
persons save imaginative specula
tors like H. Q. Wells have even
dimly begun to perceive. What
the airship carries beneath its
planes is the most far reaching re
volution that has ever transformed
the world.
uBe my brother or I will slay
thee," the French revolutionist's
formula, will now be revived with
au infinitely wider application; be
cause the airship represents an ad
dition to the forces of destruction
so vast, so incalculabe that it
places human society at the mercy
of any of its component parts.
The aeroplane dashing through
air at 100 miles au hour capable of
dropping 100 pounds of high ex
plosives or of asphyxiating shells
on any point from any height is
the nearest approximation which
mankind has made to the discovery
of vril. It was by the invention
of vril that potent compound of
electricity and dynamite by which
a child could destroy an army by
waring a wand that Lord Lytton
prophesied the ultimate extinction
of war. The aeroplane is the next
8teptovril. For it places illimi
able forces of destruction at the
disposal of any one who can raise
150,000 and find half a dozen de
speradoes to do his bidding.
What this means is that the
human race which has hitherto or
ganized itself for defense from
enemies on or below the world's
surface is absolutely unprotected
from attack from above. The op
portunity which this gives to the
anarchist and the desperado was
perceived years ago by M. Azeff
when he recommended the Rnnsian
revolutionists to resort to the aerop
lane as the most effective means of
destroying the government.
If the governments do not cease
their absolutely fatuous habit of
preparing for war with each other
they may find themselves confront
ed by forces of disorder armed with
new invincible weapons against
which they themselves will be
powerless. Should they let hell
loose by making war upon each
other heaven itself would rain hell
fire upon the modern cities.
In sheer self-defense the instinct
of self-preservation ought to com
pel governments to federate into one
soon go the way of armor, and
that twplve-inr.h enns will soon be
