Country Gentleman claims has advan-
tage over the surveyors chain and tape
line IN that it is always used by one
person. The spokes of the wheel are
little larger than a common lath. These
spokes form wheel of such size that
one revolution measures exactly one rod
This will be effected if each one is thirty
two and one-half inches long. The hub
is made of two circular pieces of inch
board screwed face to face at the hub,
tapering to an inch or less at the point.
Sometimes Il wagon wheel has been used.
but 1t is too heavy, and the jerks which
its weight causes make it inaccurate.
On smooth surface it has been found
that the measuring of this wheel did not
vary more than half an inch in a rod
and on grass land not over an inch in a
rod. A common carpenter made the
machine.

DO Bees Work or Only Gather Honey:
Al. Root, authority on all bee matters.
gives this answer to the question so often
asked, DO bees make honey, or do they
only gather it, In other words. do
they add to, take from or change over
nectar as they get it from the flowers?
think we may safely say that there Is
practically no difference or no change.
There are some scientists and professors
who insist that the bees do change the
nectar in carrying it from the flowers to
the hives enough so that it can be de
tected by the chemist. In order to get
unfinished sections filled up at the end
NJ the season we have fed to the bees
different kinds of honey: but after being
sealed up in the comb it was exactly the
same honey to all appearances.
BY accident we scorched one lot y lit
tie, and hoped that the bees in their
manipulation might remove the slightly
burnt taste. They did not. however,
change it a particle. Again, We once
had Il lot of honey that candied so read
lily that we could scarcely keen il in
liquid form at all. We melted it, added
some water, and fed it to the bees. They
evaporated the water added, placed
1t in their combs and sealed it up. but it
candied after being sealed mp in the
combs just as it did before we fed it TO
them, and | have never been able to de-
tect that they improved poor honey in
any way. neither have | been able to de-
tect that any injury was done; or, in
fact, that any change perceptible to any
OF our senses was wrought by any of
their manipulations

bage on a piece of land, comprising
forty-two lots, which he purchased for
the purposes of a public dumping
ground; but the defendants filed COM
plant against him, alleging that they
were the owners of the land, and the re-
suit was that on March 10th last Judge
Wade issued a restraining order, pre-
venting him from dumping garbage on
the tract. This order continued in
effect until May Goth last, when it was
dissolved; but in the meantime Done
gan was compelled to procure another

1t Makes Difference, You Know.

A Salt Lake paper says that R. c.
Humeston, OF this city, has arrived in
Utah; and to show that Los Angeles has
gone to the demnition bow-wows it says
that Humeston had leased his fine resi-
dence here for $40 per month. AS Mr..
Humeston's residence is away outside of
the city limits, the rent he gets for it is
no criterion of the rent of fine residences
inside the city. Ii the Humeston place
were accessible to people doing business
in the city, it would rent readily for from
$50 to $75 per month.
