N. Le. Bee insists that tho human nose
Is steadily losing its power among civil.
lied peoples. Ho thinks that when tho
function of smell is gone the organ will
lapse also. He is sure nature will not
keep a nose on mans face simply to give
his enemy a chance TO tweak il, or as an
ornament. NJ. lie Bee does not seem to
have thought that nature often transfers
an organ TO higher use. When animals
began to walk on two feet, instead Of
looping of the fore feet nature made
hands of them. The nose of the savage,
which is only bifurcated hole in tho
face. is transformed by civilization to q
handsome ornament, and adapted 10 finer
uses. The olfactory use Of the nose is
not its highest use; but In civilization it
is capable Of finer olfaetory uses than In
savage life. Let NJ. lie Bee consider how
far he can yet smell a amephitis Americana.

foreign paper notices the death at
Venice, Italy, of Maj. Won Hruschka, the
inventor of the honey extractor. lie was
a retired Austrian officer, and the inven.
tion of the honey extractor occurred in
this way; His apiary was in Italy, and
one day when no was in his apiary his lit
tie boy came there. The boy had small
tin pail tied to a string, which he was
swinging in circle holding the end of
the string in his hand. The indulgent
father gave the youth a small piece of
comb filled with honey putting 1t into
the little pail. The boy after awhile be-
gan to swing the pail again as before,
with the AuAvy in T.. \ few moments
after he became tired of that amusement
and put the pail down to talk to his
father, who took it up, and, by chance,
noticed that the honey had left the comb
and settled down into the pail, leaving
the comb perfectly clean that had been on
the outside of the circle when the boy
was swinging it around, The major Won
dered at the circumstance, and turning
the comb over bade the boy swing Il
again, when, TO his great astonishment,
the other side of the comb also became
perfectly clean, all the honey being OK
tracted and lying AT the bottom Of the
pail,
During the following night Maj Won
Hruschka, after going to bed, commenced
20 think the circumstance over. On the
morrow he commenced series of expert
ments which resulted in his giving 10 the
world the first honey extractor, which, by
whirling, something like his son whirled
that little tin pail, gave him the pure
liquid honey, extracted by centrifugal
force, leaving the honey comb entirely
free from the liquid sweet, which he gave
again to the bees TO fill, allowing him the
pure honey for making wine, mead, and
metheglin or honey cakes, as desired,
without employing the troublesome and
primitive method in use up to that
time of mashing up the combs containing
the honey, pollen, and sometimes brood
too, To let the honey drain through the
cloth in which it was placed, giving what
was formerly known as strained honey"
