American ladies, Mrs. O. G. James
and Mrs Henry A. Blyih, who, with
their husbands, well-known residents
of Rio Janoir09 and AR. Edward.
Denest, young Englishman, placed
themselves under Mr.. Branner's
charge, and provided with ropes al
penstocks, and every adjunct known
to mountain craft, successfully
achieved the perilous enterprise.
The little party left Botafogo long
before daylight on Saturday, Oct. 2,
and rowing out of the bay made a
landing with much difficulty on the
ocean side of the peak, then pnrsu-
ing line, but little deviating from
a tangent between the base of the
peak opposite Santa Cruz and its
apex along the bplging outline of
the crest of the cone, they began
their courageous aud toilSome jour
ney. The ladies were obliged to
make use of the rope nearly all the
way, and at the point where the
mass of the top overhang, tlike the
yizor of a helmet, it was necessary
to secure them to the line and draw
them up bodily, Mr.. Branner having,
with the agility of an old mountains
eer, first attained a footing above.
The critical position at this moment
may be imagined, when it is explain
ed that aDnarentiV thew seemed to
overhaDging an abyss 900 feet iii
depth, with the surging ocean ready
to give them welcome reception
should the rope part or slip. For
tunately the sky was overcl0uded so
that the temperature was favorable
to the physical effort demanded of
the hardy adventures, and at half
an hour past midday they all reach
ed the summit safely, where luncheon
was spread and partaken of with
keen appetites. They collected some
rare ferns and many varieties of
beautiful orchids, trailers and lilies
Another object-ef this expedition on
this trip was to determine the height
of the Sugar Loaf, which is now
decided by Messrs. Branner and
Denest to be ,272 feet above high
water mark. The peak overhangs
its base on one side, but declines by
a graceful curve toward the mouth
of the harbor on the other, resemb-
ling the outline of gigantic boar's
tusk, while the sides are fiat or al
most perpendicular from the apex to
the waters edge, so that a stone cast
by the hand in either direction would
fall into the ocean on one side or
the bay on the other, The last as
cent, previous TO that made by Mrs.
James and partly, was performed by
a young American, who without
companion and the usual appliances
or skill Of a sea-faring man, worked
his way up to. the very summit in
the full blaze of burning SUM-" The
slMaI @ included its article by stating
that 'our friends descended the
summit safely and without accident
of any kind to mar the pleasure of
their extremely hazardous enterprise,
and we congratulate them upon
this exhibition of the courage, per-
severance, and energy which has in
all climes and every country won
for our nation its character for the
possession of clear grit"

! BEE-KEEPING IN THE NEITHER
-LANDs.-Bee-keeping forms an ex-
tensiEe industry in some of the pro-
vinces of the Netherlands. In 1859
over million pounds of honey were
exported from the province of Dren-
the alone. But the harvest depends
greatly upon the weather, and some
years the product is much reduced.
In 1860 Drenthe exported only TO-
000pounds. In order to secure a
continual supply of sweets for the
sustenance of the bees, they are Of
ten transported from one portion of
the province to another in order that
advantage may be taken of the diff
ferent fields that flower successively.
In the early spring the hives are car
ried on boats or long wagons to the
vicinity of the blossoming rape
{ (Brassica napes), and when this
has passed its season they are con-
yeyed to points where the heather
and buek-wheat are in bloom. By
this device the busy bee plies his
trade uninterruptedly and with con-
tinually profitable returns.
