The necessity for leaving bees undis-
turbed as far as possible during the sea-
son in which they cannot gather honey
or pollen is not understood by beginners
as well as it ought to be. Quinby ad-
vised many years ago what most modern
beekeepers now practice. He said: :lf
it were not that an occasional examina-
ton is needed to see that rats or mice
have not effected an entrance or to ascer-
tain if the room is not unduly damp l
would advise locking the door of the
wintering apartment, and not opening it
till spring; but l advise making these
examinations and all needed changes as
quietly and as seldom as possible. All
ventilators should be so arranged as to
be regulated from the outside, and means
for ascertaining the temperature, with
out entering the room for the purpose,
should be provided"

Feeding Sheep.

A Missouri correspondent in The New
York World says: Clover and miIlet
make good kinds of hay to feed sheep
during the winter. When corn is fed it
should be shelled and put into tight
troughs to prevent being wasted. 1t is
better in feeding sheep to give small ra-
tions at a time, just what they will eat
up clean in few minutes, and feed often
than to give SO much at once that they
will scatter and waste it. They are more
wasteful of both grain and hay than any
other class of stock unless care is taken
to prevent it. They should have no
more grain than they will eat in ten
minutes, and should finish their hay or
fodder inside Of half an hour. Besides
the grain troughs sacks should be pro-
vided for the hay or fodder, 30 as to keep
them from getting it under their feet.
1t is very important that they should be
provided with comfortable, dry quarters,
where they can be sheltered from storms
but they should be allowed to run out
during pleasant days.

Turkeys have the name Of being deli
cate and difficult to raise, in consequence
of which they are not often kept where
they might be with advantage. In a
suitable place turkeys are among the
most profitable of all domestic poultry.
They are undoubtedly delicate if kept
on damp soil, but where the ground is
dry and the position not too exposed
they will do well. A necessity to secur-
ing success is the provision of shelter for
the young birds during that critical
period known rs shooting the red"
When about two months old, however,
the chicks are as hardy as other fowls,
and can brave the weather without in
jury. The prices obtained for prime
turkeys and the heavy weights to which
they can be forced to grow render them
exceedingly profitable, and wen repay
the extra care attendant on the chicks
during the first two months of their lives
The varieties of turkeys recognized by
the American standard of perfection are
bronze, Narragansett, buff, slate, black
and white. The black turkey approaches
most nearly to the wild bird, but fattens
more readily. The bronze, which most
closely resembles the wild bird in color
is the most rapid in growth, quickest tc
fatten, and, according to some authpri
ties, the heaviest of all. The Narragan
setts and whites are the most domestic,

does. Thus in the process the carbon Of
the iron acts as fuel to maintain the fusion,
and at the same time by the bubbling Of
the carbonie acid mixes the molten iron
thoroughly. During the bubbling up of
the whole mass of iron, and the extreme
elevation Of temperature caused by the
union of the carbon Of the impure iron
with the oxygen of the air, the oxide Of
iron is formed, and as fast as it forms fuses
into a sort of glass. This unites with the
earthly matters of the impure" iron, and
floats on the upper part as flux, thus rid
ding the "cast iron" of all its impurities,
with no other fuel than that contained in
the metal and in the air used. When the
fame issuing from the converter" con-
tracts and changes its color then the time
is known to have arrived when the iron is
decarbonized. The amount of carbon nee
essary is artifcially added, ebullition takes
place, a flame of carbonic oxide comes out,
and the metal is then run into ingots.

When using anthracite coal, by firing light,
quick and often, not covering all of the in

The Bessemer Process of Making Steel.
Steel is really carbide of iron, and Mr..
Bessemer founded his process of making
steel by blowing out the excess Of carbon
from the iron, so that the proper amount
l.5 per cent.---should remain. A brief sum
mary of the Bessemer process may be in
teresting. If bar Of steel as soft as iron
be made red hot and plunged into cold wa
ter it will become very hard. II it be then
gently heated it will become less hard, and
is then fitted for surgical instruments.
The various shades of steel are carefully
watched, the change Of color being due to
the varying thickness Of the oxide, for we
know that when light falls upon very thin
films of n substance-soap bubbles for in
stance-the light reflected from the under
and upper surfaces interfere and cause
color, which varies with the thickness Of
the film. These colors in steel correspond
to different temperatures, and the ITEM
per" Of the steel depends upon the temper.
ature it has reached. The color and uses
of various kinds of steel range all the way
from faint yellow for lancets, etc, to dark
blue for handsaws.
The Bessemer process transfers the metal
into a vessel in which there are tubes,
through which air is forced, which pro
duces a much greater heat than bellows

length in certain places. In London it is
3d. 1898 inches, and furnishes a certain
standard of length, and by an act of par
lament the yard is divided into 80 parts,
and 80. 1893 such parts make the seconds
pendulum in the latitude Of London in a
temperature of GO degs. But the same pen
dulum will not perform the same number
of oscillations in one minute in all parts Of
the globe. At the equator they will be
less, and at the pole more Thus it was
discovered that as the movements of the
pendulum are dependent upon the force of
gravity, and as this force decreases the
farther we get from the center Of the
earth, the equator must be farther from
the earth's center than the poles, and
therefore the poles must be depressed.
The decline of the pendulum at the equa-
tor is also in a measure due to centrifugal
force.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
TOPICS OF GENERAL INTEREST AND
FREQUENT INQUIRY CONSIDERED.

Entertaining Facts Abont the Pendulum,
which is Conceded to BE the Nearest
Known Approach to PerpetuA Motion,
Oscillations of the Seconds Pendulum.
The pendulum is considered the nearest
approach TO perpetual motion, This is so
well known that no description is needed,
but we may say few words concerning it.
By the diagram we see that II we lift the
ball to b and let II fall it will descend to
!, and pass it to n opposite, nearly rs far
from as b Is from It. So the oscillations
will continue, each beat being less and less,
till rest is reached 10y the action of gravity.
Were it not for friction and the pressure
of air the oscillations would continue for
ever As it is, the pendulum declines by
shorter swings until it remains in equi
librium.
The seconds pendulum oscillates sixty
times an hour, and must be of a certain
