A bee book was published coon by the Department of Agriculture. In Its way It will not be lens Interesting than the horse book , which made so favorable an Impre&lan three years ago that many thousands of extra copies were ordered and distributed by con gress. The purpose of the now work , says the SL Louis Globe-Democrat , ly to encour age American tarmera In taking up a buo.- ness which Is becoming steadily more profit able In this country , the honey production of the United Statw amounting at present to about $15,000,000 nnnually not counting ? IBOO,000 worth of wax. It Is a fact that practically all the modern inventions which relate to beekeeping are of Yanko ? origin , from the plan of the up-to-date hive to the centrifugal honey extractor. Everywhere abroad the methods adopted by beekeepers are extremely primitive ; the hives are usually of straw , and It Is customary to kill the bees In order to secure the lioiuy. It Is reckoned that with very little1 effort the honey production of this country might bo raised to $150,000,000 annually. All that la necessary Is the maintenance cf bees In sufilclent numbira to unther the store. ? of nectar from the wild flowers of field and forest , whoso an cots now go to waste. There Is little trouble In keoplng bees especially now that gentle races of thos ? Insects , not disposed to sting , have been Imported into the United States. Of cum > , there were no honey beta In the new world until the white man brought tlinu hither , about two centuries ago The earliest hymenopterous Immigrants were the common brown bees of Europe , which are now spread , both wild and dome-jtlcatod , over all North America. They have a very ugly temper and on that account aio somewhat unmanageable. Other races ut bs.es are more Industrious as well as more amiable than these brown pes , which are said to have ccmo originally from Germany. Brtkccpers nowadays are aj particular about the becO they buy oa any firmer In the choice of a cow or a sheep In- t'nfled for breeding. The Italian bees , so called , are great favorlteu , bring very gentle and excellent honey getters. They were brought to this country In 1SGO , and at a later date were Imported ; other varlutlep , known respectively as the Egyptian , the Cyprian , the Sjrlfin , the Carnlolan and the Tunisian. Naturally , these strains lui\c mixed moro or leas with the brown bees , but aplarlsta have succeeded In keeping pure .stock ! ) of Itallanu and Carnlolans. The lat- te ' , of a gray color , conm from the elevated Al ; lns province of Carnlola , Austria , and are the gentlest of all beoy. The largest yield on record from a single hlvo In thly coun- tiy 100 pounds In on ? season. la credited to bees from tha Island of Cyprus. THE DECS OF INDIA. Not long ago Dr. Frank Benton , author of the "Dee Book , " visited India for the pur- pos of studying the racjs of bees of that country. He found thera certain giant bees , which build huge combs of very pure wax often Tdx feet long and four feet wide , at taching them to overhanging ledges of rocker or to large limbs of lofty tres In the forest cr Jungle. Of these bees long a sort of myth to the bee-keepers of America and Europe strange storlea have been told. It has been stated that tbay are so given to wandering as to make it Impossible to keep them In hives , and that their extreme ferocity causej them to ha greatly dreadsd. The first accurate Information on the sub ject was secured by Dr. Bcnton , who made his way Into the Jungle- and watched the bees at home. 113 cut donn some of their combs , and , but for a nearly fatal attack ot Jungle fever , he would have carried out his Intention to bring back some ot the bees to the United States. These bees are greit honey gatherers , and Dr. Bsnton believes that they would be able to get nectar from many kinds of flowers who-o sweets are out ot reach of ordinary bes. Thlj applies particularly to red clover , which for Its fertilization depends entirely on the bumble bseshlch visit It. The giant bees described have longer tcigues than any ether t > 2cs , and It Is likely tlut they would ba abls to get at the nectar cf the. clover , Incidentally causing the plant to pro- due ? feed more abundantly. lUd clover Is F.iown largely In Australia and New Zea land , where the farmers until recently were A Sufferer from 11 > Nu > | iHlii 'I'c-Ils of HIM Wonilrrfnl Cure liy Miinyou's Improved lloiiioi-opaUilc KuiiiiMllcs.

During the mid dle ages bfp-kecplng was nn Important and profitable. Industry on that Island , more than 200,000 hives being In operathn. It Is fald. In thosx ) days the proJuetlon ot honey was of greater Importance t ? mankind than at proa nt , Inasmuch no the sugar cane and other sugar-producing planto were unknown , and the only sugar makers were the boas. Now , there nre not more than 30,000 hives In Cyprus , the buslnes-j having been nearly ruln-d by the oppressive taxes levied by the Turks. The people of the Irian : ) usually are unwilling to sell any of their bees , believing that th so left behind will ( ly away utter the onaa that are disposed of. Bees an fre quently represented on the monuments ot Egypt , and In that country centuries before Cleopatra reigned they wer Kept on a very large scale. Thousands of bargas freighted with hives were floated up and down the Nile In order to afford the Insects pasture on the llow.rs along the banks. Each colcny of bcea In good condition at the opening ot the seasn contains a laying quien and 30,000 to 40,000 worker bees , or Dlx to eight qtiartf ) by measurement. The queen l.iys all the eggs which ar ? deposited In the hive , sometimes layingas many as S.OOO In twenty-four bourn. She mates hut mice , flying from the hlvo to meet the male bee , or drone , high In th ? air. This she doe. ' whan flvo to nine days old. At the time cf the quosn's mating there are In the hive neither CKgs nor young grubs frm which to rear another < iu on. Thus , should t'he ' be loot , no more fertile egqs would be deposited , and , the old workers gradually dying off , without belnt ; replaced by young ones , the colony wuld become extinct In the course of a f = w nrnths at mcst , or meet a speedier fate at the hands of Intruders , such as robbEr - bEr bees and wasps , which Its weakness would prevent Its repelling longer. Often It happens that queens during the nuptial flight are eaten by blr's cr.oth rwlso lost , and this U probably a pravisjon of rature to prevent boss from multiplying too fast. Inasmuch au without puch checku thsy wculd soon become a pest. The liquid secretid in the nectaries or newels Is th'n and Calory. Bees suck or Up It. up with their /lexlble tongues , which are about a quarter. Qf an inch lortg. They put It away In a llltle sac In the abdomen. The nectar thus gathered has at first a raw , rsnk fast ? , wltli Hie flavor and odor peculiar to the plant from wjhlch It Is taken. Its taste and smell , are , frequently far from agreeable. To make , from this raw product the honey that Is "fit fcod for gods , " Is a part of the regular business of the worker be ? . The flrst fart 'of ths process Is the stationing of workers , In lines near the eri- tranoaa to .the h\ye. \ These , by an'messsant buzzing of their , wings , drive crirrints'flf * air Into and out ? of Uie > hive and over the surfaces of the comb. The loud buzzing heard atnight li ijgthe. . summer time Is1 made by the wlnga offwsrkers engaged In ripening fresh nectar. Instead of resting after tho-day's toll , the bces.nrcicaring forf the last lot of nectar and making ; room for further accessions. No wonder that the avcragj worker bee does not live more than two or three months ; ens literally works her- sc" to death. When , finally , the- process Is completed , the ripened nectnr or honey contains only about. 10 per cent of water and it is found that the dlsapreiablo cdors and flavors piobably due to volatile ollf , have also been driven off. During the > manipulation of the product hasi been added formic acid , se creted by glands In the * head of the bee , which Is an antiseptic and Is Intended pre sumably to give a better keeping quality to ths honey. The finished product Is stored In waxen cells , which are sealed over with caps of tlio same material , uacn itmu or l.&ney has Its distinctive flavor and aroma derived from the particular blossoms that yielded It. Whan plenty of nectar Is to be found In flowers of a kind easy to get nt ths bees will devote themselves exclusively to blc-isoms of that species. Thus it IK that linden , mesqulte , tulip tree , mangrove , oianr ; ? and other kinds of honey may be hurvested cap-irately and each b ? readily icroKiil/able by Us color , flavor and aronri. When , however , no great honey yleldsr la present In large quantity and the source of supply Is inlacsllnneous , all manner of com binations may oxht Accordingly , the medic inal qualities and food valuss of various kinds of honey differ as greatly as do their prices In the market. BUES AND THEIR HABITS. Pollen an well as honey Is the common food of beea. This fertilising dust of flowers is carried horns by the worker in snull pellets held In basket-like receptacles on the litnd legy. Fiom the buds and crevices of trees the ln"ecU obtain a substance known as "bee glue , " which Is iiajd to stop up ciacks In the hlvo and varnish the whole Intet lor snrfacs as Veil as to straighten the attachments of the combs. Th wax that U used for building comes into the hive In tlio shape of honey , which Is transformed Into wax within the bodies of the workers. Each worker bei has eight llttlo wax molds en the under side of her body , in which umall scales of wax are formed. These , when they are ready for use , she plucks out with her hind feet , as with a pair of pincers , and then she shapes them for building purposes with her Jaws , mean while warming and moistening them to make the wax more pliable. So carefully Is the wax elaborated and fashioned by the beca that the cells are al ways absolutely water-tight. TJielr dwelling , once completed , lo'a > marvel of construction. The comb * are .rows wf rooms unsurpassably suitable for feeding and nursing- the young grubs , for safely warehousing the prsvlslona gathered , and for accommodating the tired workers when they .nped rest.

The principle may be Illustrated by nutting several soap bubble ] 'together ' , the walls by which they are united being Invariably , plane surfaces ) . Tha worker bees utilize a slnglb pound of wax with such economy as to compose with It from 35,000 to 50,000 cells , which will afford accommoda tion for at least twenty-two pounds of honty. Wax Is a very costly product from the beo'u point of view , requiring for Its manu facture about twenty times Its own weight of , honey , and to the wcrker la very careful In Ita expenditure. Much help Is given to do mesticated bees by an Ingenious German In vention , which supplies them with an arti ficial comb foundation of wax. This material comoj In sheets and U stamped In such a manner that both fides of each sheet are covered with email hexagons slightly raised from the surface and formed exactly on the pattern adopted In na'ture by the bees. Thin la old at a tmall prlco by the square foot. The bec-keepir suspends a pieceof It In a comb frame , which be places In a hlvo , and the boeu m > e It as a foundation In building their cellu.

The larvae nre thus fed for five diys. and then the cells containing them are capped with n covering , which Is made porus by Incorporating with the. material many pollen grains" . Thus the young bee la en abled to breathe. Twelve days later tha young onr , now a perfect bee , biles Its .way through the covering and emerges. Two diys after this It takes up the w rk of a nurse , attending to the wants ot the developing grubs. It attempts no field work I. e , honey-getting for a couple of weeks. Then It begins to sail } * forth In quest of food ma terial for the hlvo , making short excursions at the flrst. and liter , when It has made sure of finding the way home again , departing far longer flights. THEIR NATURAL RNBMIUS. Bees range ordinarily within two or thrcJ miles In all directions from their homes. Incidentally to their regular avocations , they are obliged to dofcml themselves ngalnrl various enemies. Among these ono nt the most dreaded Is the bee moth , which lays Its CRUS In the hive , If It can cbtaln an en trance , or In crevices about It. The Inrvae hutched from thctx ) eggs gnaw piss-agca through the combs of the beet. At nightfall the msths may bo ssen flitting about the hive entrances , waiting for an opportunity to enter. Dragcn Hies and several other spedos of flies capture and devour honey bes. Some of ths larger ants and social wasps nreery troublcamo to the bee-keeper In warm coun tries , selrlnR the wotkers and cutting them to pieces with their powerful Jaws. Having once reduce * ! the hive defenders , they even make bold to enter and cirry oft the queen. Toido and lizards eat many bees , and swal lows and kingbirds are foes ot the hive. Now and then mice gain access In the winter , gnawing among the combs a nest civlty and eating honey , pollen and beos. When forage Is warco In the field bees belonging to differ ent colonies often wage flcrcs wars over the stores already In hives. Thousands are killed and the victors relentlessly carry off as booty overjr drop of honey from the vanquished hive , leaving IJM bees to starve mlssrably. A great stir and loud burzlnp In the hlvo of the conquerors nttfot their rejoicing over the ill-gotten gains. Queen bees are now transported nearly Mways by mall. They are wilt to all parts of the United States , and even to foreign countries , confined in little wooden cages , with a food uupply ot candy made by kneading fins sugar and honey together. This , tog - g tricr with the address and a 1 cent stamp , completes the arrangement for a queen and eight to twelve attendant workers to takts a Journey of 3,000 miles. It Is estimated that the number of queens sold arid thus trans ported annually In the United States Is about 20,000. The beekeepjr of today , after hav ing removed the honey from the cotnba In hsl centrifugal machine , returns them , but slightly Injured , to be refilled by the bses , and at HIP end ot the saason thcis ? combs are stored awSy for us ? In subsequent years. By this means the working force Is turned to the production cf honey rather than wax. It Is an odd fact that the Invention of the centrifugal extractor was an accident pure and simple. It chanced that the little son of an apiarist swung a basket filled with honey combs around his head , and the honey flying In every direction gave the idea to his father. The sting of the bee Is of the' utmost Im- pcrtance to that Insect , Inasmuch as , but for this defense , the hard-earned stores of th3 hive would EOOII bo a prey to all sorts of marauders. The mechanism of the sting consists ot two darts , which are connected at the base with a sack that contains a very potent poison. The constitution ot this pclson , which Is conveyed to the tip of the dart by a groove , Is not definitely known , but It consists largely of formic acid. The queen be ? has a otlng , as well as the workers , but the drones possessi no stings. The lat ter , In fact , appear to have no purpose In being , except tint of reproduction. When the mating time is over and the harvest of honey beglno to diminish , they are driven out of the hive- Into the cold world , where they quickly starve" death , because they are not provided by nature with any In strument for getting food from flowers. THE SWARMING TIME. In May the ew arming time arrives. This means simply that the hive has b'como over crowded and the queen becomes possessed by a nervous anxiety to move. She flics out of the hive , followed by a largo part of the work rs. Meanwhile , In anticipation ot this o\ent , the workers have b n engaged in rearing a number of young queens In large cells expressly prepared for them. " Any worker larva may bj made a queen merely by feeding the 1 ttle grub on a very rich sort of food , which Is known as "royal Jelly. " At the time of the desertion of the mother qi-een the young queens are about icady to merge from their cells. All of them arc stung to death except ono , because It Is recognized In the bee. world that a hive can have only one mistress. Thus the parent hive Is maintained , while the old que n with her followers establishes a new colony. TI-OEO who go take some honey with them to ipake a start. They gather In a bunch on a tree branch , or In some oth r convenient place , while scouts go in various directions to find a suitable location. It Is at this time that the prudent bee keeper gathers In the swarm clustered about the que-n and houses It In a htvo. Bees obtain their food from such a variety cf sources that there are few localities In this country where a small apiary cannot be placed on the roofs of stores , and dw lllngs often furnish quite a suiplus gathered from gardens and the suburbs. In regions where the soil Is too light or rocky to admit of profitable , cultivation honey producing plants frequently abound. Indeed , waste land Is apt to bo found more profitable for the honey producer than cultivated fields , for weeds In field or swamp often yield honey abundantly , and among the best ylslders are certain forest trees. Showy flowers made double by the gardeners' fllll , such as roses , dahlias and chrysanthemums , rarely have any attraction for honey bees. In the north willows , aiders , maples , dandelions , fruit blossoms , clovers , lindens , chestnuts , alfalfa , Indian corn , buck wheat. mint and gold n rod are Important sources of honey and pollen. With the ex tension of orange groves In Florida and Louisiana an Increased production of very flno honey may bo looked for In those states. Up to date , liowever , th > attempts to cultivate any plant for Its honey alone has not been found profitable. _ The Doctor Out of Town When MoMt Mr. J. Y. Schenck , editor of the Caddo I.

I had pilntcJ a Norwegian flag on a large box , which we fastened on a strong polo near the place where wo landed ; and leaving the rest of the crew to bo entertained by the pon- gulns , I preceded alone to Investigate the peninsula and make , collections. I found suadweed on the beach ; but whether It had grown on the shores of Victoria Land remains to be ascertained In the future. I believe tliat Capo Adaro Is the very place where a future scientific expedition might stop safely even during the winter months. From the spot wherei w-o wera several accessible spurs lead up to the top cf the cape , and from there a gentle slope runs onto the great plateau of Victoria Land. Tlio presence of tha penguin colony , their undisturbed old nests , the appoaianca of dead seals ( which were preserved llko Egyptian mummies , and must have lain there for years ) , the vegjta- tlon to tlio rocks , and lastly the Mat table ot the cape above , all Indlcati'd that hero Is a place where tha powers ot the Antarctic clr- clo do not display the whole * severity of their forces. Nelthtr'lce nor volcanoes stcmed to have raged on the peninsula at Caps Adare , and I strongly recommend a future scientific expedition to ehooso that place as a center ot operations. On this particular spct there Is ample space for house , tents and provisions. I myself am willing to be the leader of a l rty to bo landed either on th pack or on the mainland near Colman Island. From there It Is my scheme to work toward the south magnetic polo , calculated to be In lati tude 75 d g. G mln. , longitude 150 dcg. C. Should the party succeed In penetrating so far Into the continent , the course should , If possible , b ? laid for Cape Adare , there to Join the main body of -expedition. . As to the zoological results of future researches , I ex pect great discoveries. It would Indeed be remarkable If on the unxplored Victoria con tinent , which probably extends over an area of 4,000,000 square miles , tlifro should not be found animal life hitherto unknown In the southern hcmlsphirc. It is of course a possi bility that the unknown land around the axis ot rotation might be found to consist of Is lands Joined only by perpetual Ice and snow ; but the appearance of the land , the color of the water , with Its soundings , In addition to the movements of the Antarctic Ice , point to the existence of a mass of land much .more extensive than a mere group of Islands. ' ICEBERGS IN THE ANTARCTIC OCEAN. Icebergs of large slzo were everywhere to be been , and showed distinctly whether they were broken from the big barrier or dis charged from the glaciers on Victoria Land. Like fairy palaces were the masterpieces of nature floating about , so clean , so pure , that the eye of mortal man seemed unworthy of such b auty beautiful beyond description , terrible in their gigantic majesty , the crys tals of their walls glittering1 In the sun , while caves and arches were half hidden In a mist of aznr ? blue , and about them the ocean , roaring sometimes with great fury , threw waves far up against their perpendicu lar sides , to fall back again In clouds of foam. The dlfterenco in the formation ot Arctic and Antarctic Ice , as is well known , is very great. While the northern bergs mostly con sist of a large Ice mass running up Into numberless towers and arches resembling the mountain peaks which surrounded the glaciers from which they were torn , the Antarctic bergs are solid masses of floating Ice , with perpendicular walls , and an un broken plateau on the top. All showed distinctly whether they were broken from the large southerly barrier or dlMharged from the glaciers of Vlctorra Land. All the barrier bergs had very dis tinct blue lines across their walls , indicating the annual growth by snowfall. These lines were , of course , not to bo found on the glacier Ice. The latter al ) showed more likeness to the northern Ice than did the former. The peaks and towern of the Arctic icibcrgs are suppoaad to bo farmed by the Influence of ocean currents wearing away the oofter part of the Ice mass under water , until the natural law of gravitation forces It to upset. But why have the Antarctic Icebergs a different appearanc ? . It Is certain that In the Antarctic waters there are also currents. Vet even Icebergs that have gone as far north as the south of New Zealand have all maintained the marks of their Antarctic origin. I cannot uze any other reason for this dissimilarity between the bergs of the north and those ot the south but that the Arctic Icebergs , as a rule , must pass through climes which In temperature rapidly changj from one extreme to another , and the ice bergs take much longer time In floating suthward than do the Antarctic Icebergs In advancing northward , and thus , as a rule , the northern Ictbergs exist much longer than those of the Antarctic. ANTARCTIC POSSIBILITIES. The recent Antarctic expedition was a com mercial one , and commercially It was a fail ure , because we did not find the right whale , so valuable for Its whalebone. The Antarctic was fitted out for the hunt of that particular kind ot whale ; nevertheless I have no doubt that the commercial result ot the expedition would have been much better had we worked under more favorable auspices. I do not by any means consider the fact of cur not having met with the right whale In those -t''aa as conclusive proof of their nonexistence - existence In the bay at Victoria Land. The Antarctic found the right whale at Campbell Island In the winter time ; the boats fastened to five of them , of which , however , only one waa caught. Now , to ms It does not seem Improbable that these whales go teuth to the bay of Victoria Land , where Ross saw them , In the summer , and return north In the win ter. It would seem IncreJIblo that u man of Sir James Ross' standing , supported as he was by aula scientists and experienced whaler * , should have made a grave error when he said that this valuable whale waste to be found In large numbers In those south ern latitudes. The difference In the appearance of the blu whale , as wo found It th re , and the right whale , In the method of spouting , ls to strik ing thfct < veu the most casual observer could not easily be deceived. Very possibly , had wo penetrated farther Into the large open bay dUcovercd by Itosa In the vicinity of the vol cano peaks Erfbiw and Terror , wo , too , would have found the right whale In great number * . We saw very many blue whales , but had not the appliances to take thtm. As I remarked at the * International Geographical graphical congr us , woounJ few seals. They Increased , however , In number as we work 3d eastward , and seemed afraid of the land. All of the aoaU that wo met on the -liore showed much uneasiness , and speedily made ( or the water , a fact which utrfngtncneil my belief In ths exhuencs of a largo enemy of the teal on the continent. I do not doubt that the seals congregate together In larger numbsrs at tome places on the bay.
