Wild Bee Hunting:

In an open field. adjoining a forest
TO be examined, the bec-hunter heats q
small stone and puts il on a stump or
other slight elevation, and places on il
q piece of dry, empty ~honeycomb. lie
also places in al eligible position, near
by. a piece of comb holding honey.
The fumes from the burning comb per-
meate the atmosphere for a considers
BILE distance, and IN quite sure tn At
tract the hptice Of the first bee that
chances to pass that way. which Is
speedily found buzzing about the stump
To ascertain what the unusual odor
means. On finding the piece of honey.

uine placer On which he has stumbled.
ny return with him, and in a little
while they come In swarms. and thus
a ''line' is readily and correctly estab-
lished.
The next step Is to get n cross-line.
a small box, holding inside a piece of
comb, with the cells partially filled
with honey, and having a glass slide
cover, has already been placed on the
stump. When a few dozen bees are
sucking up honey. the cover is closed
and the box carried a number of rods
distant and again placed on some
elevation. After the buzzing around
within has got measurably quiet,
the lid is gently drawn. when the
bees circuit about in the air a few times
To find their bearings, and then are OF.
They soon return, however. with others
of the colony, and the second line is
established as before. Where the TWO
lines meet stands the tree which holds
the colony, and the experienced hunter
will correctly judge how far in the for
rest is the point of the angle made by
the two lines, and will quickly find the
location in the tree of the colony, if not
delayed by density of foliage or defect
i've light.
1t ought, perhaps, to be stated that
burning comb TO attract bees is resorted
to in the late autumn mainly. after the
season of flowers. While if can be done,
it is undoubtedly better to catch = sin
gle bee from a wild flower with which
to commence operations. If the single
bee proves to be one of a tame colony,
you will find it out when you get them
at work. and will have lost your labor.
But if it belongs to a wild swarm there
will be less likelihood of others tame
or wild-mixing in, to the confusion
and even destruction of lines partially
established. The smudge from the
burnt comb fingers a while, and conse-
quently is likely to attract bees of diff
ferent colonies, to the annoyance of the
hunter.-N. y. ObSerrer.

makers have for some years past been
giving large orders to q paper factory
in New York State for s. peculiar kind
of straw paper. The Havanese thor
oughly soak this paper in a solution of
refuse tobacco boiled in water, and
then press it in a stamp constructed to
give it the exact appearance of the
finest tobacco leaf. Millions of cigars
are made of this bogus tobacco and ex-
ported TO America and Europe. 1t is
stated that this tobacco leaf is so good
an imitation of the real article as to defy
detection. The only way Of discover
ing the fraud is BY weighing the cigars,
the spurious being somewhat lighter
than the real The profits made by
the rascally Havana merchants are
enormous, as the first cost of these
paper cigars is next to nothing.
