The Bee Tent.

One OF the most valuable discoveries in
bee-culture for the past few years is the
bee tent. This is small inclOsure, made
of wire, cloth or mosquito netting and
factory cloth and is large enough to place
eFef the hive aad give room for two per-
sshs-te work with the bees within the en-
closed sRassefh Lf,N
our college bees for winter. Some are
very cross, yet we got no stings and in.
duced no robbing, AS l remember the
old-time days, when swollen hands and
faces, acbiggrdesh, and million of rob-
bers, caused me to dread the October re-
mOval of comb honey and preparation for
winter, l could but bless the inventor of
the bee tent. Bees are always terribly ir-
ritable at this season. Like men. when
all sources Of income are suddenly dried
up after period OF great prosperity they
are not in an amiable mood. During the
season OF gathering we handle bees with
no smoke, no protection, and get no
stings. In the fall we use veil, keep the
smoker putting, and still the smart of
stings makes the work not at all agreea-
bic. A bee-keeper told me yesterday that
the October work was the most unDleas-
ant in the apiary. With a bee tent all is
changed. We work with no veil, and vet
are safe. Besides this. with the bee tent

outside bees can get t. US, and so there is
no more tendency To induce robbing than
though we did not work with the bees at
all.
My tent is feet high 6 long and AZ
wide. 1t is none too large.
To make this. first make two square
frames feet each way for the sides Of the
tent. Make these OF light pine strips,
brace we'll anu tack wire cloth on each
one. Next, tack piece Of strong factory
cloth Is feet long and 1 = feet wide TO
these frames. so that the longer edges OF
the cloth shall extend the entire length OF
three sides of the frame. This done, we
have really a bOttomess box, the ends
and tops OF which are factory cloth, the
sides wire gauze. Ii about feet at the
end of one edge OF the cloth is untacked II
forms a convenient door OF entrance. We
now procure four small pieces, like n
broom handle, each q inches long; cut
down the edges for q short distance so
they will fit into d inch auger holes.
These put across the ends at top and mid
die. and held by the ends shutting into q
inch auger holes in the end Of the frames,
hold the sides apart. These are Olly
crowded in by using considerable force,
and so remain in place. When done using
the tent the end pieces are removed, the
sides brought close together and all can
be easily carried indoors. This tent costs
but little, is Invaluable at this season, and
will last indefinitely. Ours bas been
used three years aud is as good as new

LONDON, Nov. l0.-The case OF Adams
VS.. Lord Chief Justice Coleridge came up
yesterday afternoon, before Mr.. Justice
Day, in the Court Of Qneen's Bench. A
considerable time before the case was
called Sir Henry James, O. c., the late
Attorney General, who was acting as
counsel for the Chief Justice. engaged in
earnest c0nYersatian IN one OF the cOrri-
doris with the defendants son-in-law. the
plaintiff. When the case was reached,
Mr.. Adams announced that he was ready,
but Sir Henry James begged the Judge TO
allow an adjournment, on the plea that
an understanding had just been arrived
at outside the court. 1t is learned that
Mr.. Adams is to receive a large sum FOR
damages and the costs Of tho suit
brought on account OF the libelous letter
written by the Hon. Bernard Coleridge,
but inspired by the Lord Chief Justice
himself
Mrs. Adams, Lord Coleridge's dsugh-
ter. who is still al daggers drawn with
her father and is especially irate with her
bride stepmother, was in court dressed in
a rich black silk carriage dress, and she
wore a becoming bonnet trimmed with
black velvet. Her face was radiant with
smiles. Meanwhile the great defendant
was assisting in the tOmfOOlery annually
gone through in London on Lord Mayors
day. and helping to receive the new mag
istrate, an eX-inkeeper, who was bedIZ-
ened like the burlesque admiral of opera
b0uffe.
The Lord Chief Justices daughter and
sOn-in-law on leaving court were elbOwed
on the sidewalk by the immense crowd
which was guving the Lord Mayors Gin
derelia coach and the footmen awaiting
him. Lord Coeridge attended the Guild
hall banquet in the evening, and then
went on with his bride TO a ball at the
West End given in honor Of the Prince of
Wales birthday. Altogether yesterday
was a C0leridge day.

SKULLS AND BONES DUG UP.
a williamsburg Scare-Victims OF the
Cholera of1S45.

From the Nelo Yoyt Herald.
The remains Of eight men were carried
in bag into the Fifth precinct station
house or Fourth street, Williamsburg,
Monday afternoon by Officer Michael
Campinini, who was followed by hun
dred urcbins cheering him for arresting
dead men. The skulls and bones were
unearthed on the grounds owned by Hen
rY Hamilton for the past thirteen Jears at
Nos. l04. 106 and 10S North Eighth street,
near Third. Italian labOrers were there
working for William H Sturges, who has
a sub-contract from Joseph Mead, a ma
son and bUlder, who is building four
houses on the grounds for William Hinck,
of North Seventh and Third streets. The
men were Mortified at their find and some
became so frightened that they quit work
and ran away. The bones were lying
atop of each other as if their owners had
been buried in trench. All about the
bones the earth was black They were
found about fourteen inches below the
surface. There are, of course, various
surmises as to how the bones came to be
where they were found, but the opinion Of
John Garrett, the aged janitor Of the
Kings County Bank, corner Broadway
and Fourth street, is probably the correct
one. lie says that in 1S47, the cholera
year, neither North Seventh nor North
Eighth streets were cut through, but that
back of North Sixth, on hill at about
where these bones were found, was at that
time burial plot for negroes who died of
cholera. There were also other cemeter-
les near by. Father MalOne's, at the cor
ner of North Ninth and First streets. and
Smiths farm, at the corner Of North
Ninth and Third street. The intimation
that the bones are those Of men who had
died from the cholera has created quite a

From the Chicago Herald.
A man sat in the writing-rOOm Of the
Grand Pacific Hotel engaged in solution
Of the latest contrivance FOR making
sensible people go crazy. 1t is called the
Tower Of Hannoi." Itconsists of three
pegs stuck in base, and lot OF wooden
discs on one peg, varying in size. The
trick is to remove them, one disc at the
time. from one peg to the other two, keep.
ing them in place according to size.
This Is as near an explanation of il as
anvbOdy on earth could give. No one can

people gathered about the man at the puz-
zle and watched him as he drifted from one
stage OF madness into another. Finally
he looked up, and. mOpping his brow with
his cOat-sleeVe, said: 1T is game which
is said to have been invented by the
Chinese. and the Romans also used il in
some Of their mathematical calculations.
A scientist who has studied it out tells me
that the shortest space Of time IN which
it can be done is four minutes. But il
