In Havana the strangers attention
is arrested by the venders OF lottery
tickets, who stand on the street corners
with pair of shears in one hand and
sheets OF lottery tickets in the other,

They are very adroit, and are apt to
persuade the cIedulous that they will
draw fortune in the scheme. These
licensed lotteries are one OF the great

Land-Crabs of Cuba

Ihese creatures are larger than a
sea-crab, and live entirely on the land.
They run with great speed, even out
stripping a horse. At seasons of the
Year they migrate in large bodies from
one slhe OF the island to the other, in
columns sometimes half a mile wide.
ana SO dense as almost to stop d car
rage on the road they may be crossing.
these columns overcome every obstacle
IN their direct line of march, even high
mountains. 1t is supposed that these
mlgrations are prompted by the in
stinct OF propagation, as the crabs seek
the sea shore, deposit their eggs, and
cast off the old shell. These crabs are
so common about the city of Matanzas
that the inhabitants often receive the
sobriquet of "cangrejo. They are
frequently found in the houses, and In
some cases even under the beds.
There is species of conch which
makes similar marches through the
country in immense bodies. These are
called pirates, from very curious habit
they display. This creature, which re-
sembles snail, has the ability Of de-
taching itself from the she'll, which,
for some reason, it temporarily leaves
at times; and while its house is thus
vacant, another, passing, will back its
body, tail foremost. into the empty
shell, and keep possession.

THE LATEST BEEHIVEs.
Some Parts That Are Practically New and
How They Are Used.

HOW Vhey Are UBoOs
The accompanying cut Of a beehive
is presented by the Kansas Farmer as
showing the latest improvements in
hives at the present time and bidding
fair to be the hive Of the future for per-
haps generations, with but little IL any
change. While the principal features
Of this hive are old, yet some parts Of
it are practically new, especially the
surplus arrangements. The cut is ex-
planned as follows:
B is the body Of hive Or brood cham
ber and is q hive Of itself and 10 always
used to contain the colony proper, and
any addition to it Is extra in the way
of surplus room. 1t is calleda Zone story
hive" This department contains eight
Langstroth frames, which are in meas
urement 1756 inches long and 9N
inches deep. This body contains about
1900 cubic inches, which is considered
the proper size for a beehive. It is used
exclusively to keep the bees in from
the time they are prepared for winter
in autumn until they are strong enough
in spring to add upper stories.
A is a super or half story, which con-
tains "a one pound section boxes and is
used for comb honey exclusively. This
super is first added at the beginning Of
the honey flow, when the colony is
sufficiently strong to receive it. They
are allowed to occupy this until about
half full Of honey, when another just
like it is added, the empty one placed
under the other, which induces the bees
to occupy all, or both tiers at once,
which they will do, 40 the one contain
ing the honey is on top.
E, at the back Of the hive, ia q view
of this same super, showing the position
the section boxes occupy when ON the
hive. The cut e in front Of the hive is
a section Of the same, being q section
holder containing four section boxes.
The Advocate and news., 1898-10-05

Of the section boxes. ID IS q separator,
Of wood, one-sixteenth Of an inch thick,
which goes between each two rows Of
sections and separates them, thus COM
pelling the bees to make the hOneyoomb
straight in the section boxeG
Two bodies are used, one over the
other, for extracting. The upper story
contains eight frames and Is the same
in every respect as the brood chamber.
These two stories are used also, or at
least should be used, in building up
strong colonies in spring preparatory to
the honey harvest. A single story is
not of sufficient capacity to contain
strong colonies or is not large enough
to breed up extremely strong colonies
and contain the necessary amount Of
stores that such colonies should have ON
hand at this period of the season. By
the use Of two stories thus almost dou.
bic the strength Of colonies may be at
tanned prior to the honey harvest, and
this always means an increase in the
same proportion to the honey crop.
Comb honey for use in the spiary is
also secured in this way and a reserve
Of it may be kept ON hand for the bees
when at any time they need it, and it
is a very small per cent Of hives that
do not need frames Of good sealed honey
given them in spring and during the
time they are breeding rapidly.

A NEAT BASKET FROM THE SOUTH.

though some of the baskets look as
though they had shrunk. The basket is
very strongly built and is covered by
Slated cover we'll fastened ON. 1t is
used by the southern shippers for string
beans, peas new potatoes, onions,
squashes, as we'll as for apples and some
other fruits and vegetables 1t presents
an extremely neat appearance, is very
convenient for handling and is we'll
ventilated. Its use might well be ex-
tended, especially by northern grow
ers, for fruits and vegetables. / have
just seen some Of this same style Of
baskets, the bottoms Of which are
square with the corners rounded off,
thus making the baskets nearly square
instead of round. The only advantage I
can see for these is that they might be
packed together more closely In Car or
boat, thus saving space. These baskets
vary considerably in size, height and
capacity, but are alike in general style.

packages in market for the shipment Of
fruits and vegetables. IL is simply q

some are seen holding eight tills or
baskets and sometimes one holding four,

tiers. The one shown is filed with to
matoes, the end baskets showing them
as they come wrapped in papers, the
one in the center having the papers re-
moved to show the fruit. A larger part
of the southern tomatoes come in these
carriers, as we'll as the peaches, plums
