METHODS OF ATTACHING COMB STARTERS.
foundations showed that the thin and
extra thin super foundations are far
the best for the production of comb,
which will compare in quality and
ightness with natural comb. 1t seems
certain that heavy foundations result
in combs heavier than the natural comb
and that the increased weight is due to
thicker midribs and thicker cell walls,
but more to the latter than to the for
mer. Where the cell walls were very
high they were not thinned down i'll
the process of comb building.
Experiments were tried with num-
Der of methods of using foundations
in sections. The different methods of
attaching starters are shown in the
figure, a to G. No appreciate differ
ence was noted in comb produced by
using starters in the way shown in a,
and d. The chief advantage of using
a long narrow piece, as seen at e,
was that it had tendency to induce
the building of worker comb through
out. 1t had, however, the disadvantage
that it's large size and short line of at
tachment rendered it easy to be torn
loose.
Perhaps the best results were obtain
ed by the use of long narrow piece
at the top of the section, as shown at
f. The use of small pieces Of founda-
tons in the lower corners, as shown at
c, gave no beneficial results. The use
of short strips in the middle of the
bottom of the section, as shown at b,
resulted in the somewhat frmer at
tachment Of the combs. Comb built
upon foundation is always tougher and
more waxy than natural comb, and the
bases of the cells are darker in color.
Since a thick comb has but one mid
rib and the walls of the cells are heav-
lest nearest the midrib it is evidence
that thick comb will contain relative
~ less wax and more honey than thin
comb. In order to secure comb honey,
therefore. with the least possible
amount Of wax it is necessary to have
it built in sections that will permit the
greatest thickness of comb.

in the shoes that allow it to be moved

in the Ringing of the side, which per-

What a farmer keeps dairy cows for

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT
Figures Showing Magnitude of the Railroad
 Industry in the United States.

It may well be said that there is no better indication of the marvellous natural resources of this country, and of the almost inexhauStible enterprise of its people, than the record of the development of railroads tn the past eighty years. The magnitude of this industry is almost beyond conception, and the statistics are so marvellous as to become almost incomprehensible. There are more than 100000 miles of single-track railroad lines in the United States, and the significance of these figures will be better understood when it is stated that this mileage is equal to single track encircling the globe eight times.
 The capitalization of the railroads is about SIP, 900, 100000, while the value of their entire assets is estimated at about SIP, 0O,0OO,O0 These figures represent valuation greater than the entire production of gold since the dis cOvery of America in l492, greater than the deposits in all the banks of the United States, and equal to nearly One-tifth the total wealth of the coun- try. In view of these startling figures it is interesting to recall that the first charter for a railroad was obtained in 1922, for line from Philadelphia to a point on the SuSquehanna river, which was never built.
 A single railroad system in this country has gross earnings equal to nearly double the entire revenue of the United States pOstof1ice depart ment. The gross earnings of all the railroads in the country, in the fiscal year 1901, amounted to Sl,5SS, ,526, ,037, which is equivalent to more than $l for each inhabitant of the earth, civ ilized or uncivilized.
 The number of persons in the em- ploy of the railroads in 1901 was more than l,000,0 900, or an average of 54S employees for each 100 niles of line. On the assumption that each of these employees supports, on an average, three other persons, it would appear that one person in every twenty in this country is directly supported by the railroads. The amount paid in salaries and wages during the same year amounted to s6lO, 7I3,O Jour nal for Investors.

Bad Spelling

Only 56 out of Al freshmen at the southwestern university were able to pass an examination in spelling. They were tested with ordinary words, not with difficult and perplexing ones and the test was too much for most of them. Probably similar examinations at almost any American university o i'd show substantially the same results. Spelling is not an accomplish ment in which college youths excel. Nor do the graduates of the common schnlS distinguish themselves in this useful, but now somewhat supercil- iously regarded branch. The letters of the average public school graduate or university graduate are likely to be prolific in bad spelling.

ern university says the trouble is with the so-called scientific method of teaching spelling. The public schools turn out graduates who have learned with great pains how not to spell. The undergraduates and graduates of the colleges probably spell little or con siderably worse than the public school children.
 But the great thing is the method Nothing can equal the pity which the enthusiasts of the new method beStow upon children who have learned to spell without reliance upon it. Spell ing is nothing method is every thing. Let us remember that, when we come across fantastic or blundering spell CT, the worse he spells, the more supe- rior is the method by which he came to that pre-eminence as a muddler and twister of orthograpby.-N.

We notice that the medical journals are criticising Prof. Lorenz, the dis tinguished surgeon from Vienna, for allowing his remarkable achievements ts to be exploited in the newspapers. It is contrary to the ethics of the pro- fesSion, we are told. A lawyer may have his cases reported in the press, a clergyman may have his sermons pub lshed every Monday morning in the secular journals, and members of any other profession may bask in the sun shine of publicity, but the physician and surgeon must hide their light un- der bushel and give no heed what ever to the newspaper Scribes. The reasons for this discrimination are not at once apparent to the lay mind, but they seem to be of character to satisfy those members of the medical profession who style themselves regu- lar, and apparently there are no ex- captions to the rule. Otherwise we should say that Prof. Lorenz was en- titled to the full benefits of one.- B )ston Herald.

There IS no good reason why every apple lover should not have his fill of his favorite fruit this coming season. According to a Boston agricultural journal the country's crop of apples this year will be 43,0OO, eco barrels. as against 27,0OO,OO barrels in 1901. This is not quoted as record crop, that oi 1896 marking the top notch. But it is an enormous yield nevertheless, and sufficient to give the fruit growers q happy prospect with only the fear of insufficient transportation to trouble them.

Meerschaum Mining.

The British foreign office has issued a report upon the meerschaum mining industry of Coustantinople. This pro duct, which is extensively utilized for the manufacture of pipes, is almost
 entirely confined to Turkey. The meerschaum can oe mined by any per son at Sair-sou, Sepetdje, Gheiki and Meniou on payment of pias to the administration of mines-the cost of a permit. The mines of Sair-sou are situated at distance of about seven teen miles to the east of ESkicheviI The pit at Sair-sou was opened twen- ty years ago, but today there are 5000 mines opened, of which, however, only POGO are worked, the remainder having been abandoned. Some 1000 miners work these mines, and every Friday a market is held at which they dispose of the blocks of meerSchaum they have extracted during the week. The actual annual output Of these mines varies from l20 to l50 tons. The Eskichevir meerschaum is very high ly prlzed in Europe on account of its superior quality, and these deposits, notwithstanding that they have been worked for centuries, are still cOnsid- cred to be inexhaustible.

Ovation to Hanna.

been a continued ovation to Senator
Hanna, closed last evening with a
great demonstration in his honor, to
which he responded in q characteristic
speech. The senator at former state
conventions has sounded keynotes that
were taken up by Republican glee
clubs.
He told them yesterday to sing
"Keep on letting well enough alone" in
the campaign rallies this year.
The convention was distinguished for
harmony in the chorus for Hanna in
all that was done. One of the last
reconciliations was that of Senator
Hanna and former Governor Asa S.
Bushnell of Springfield. The latter
had been here all week, but Bushnell
and Hanna never spoke as they passed
each others quarters. They had not
spoken since the memorable contest
for the senatorship in 1897. Before go
ing to the convention they met in the
most cordial manner. The delegates

The death of Thomas Campbell Bush
nell, which occurred at his residence on
Friday last, removed from Morristown
one, who in an unostentatious way,
filled large place in community OF
which he had been an esteemed member
for quarter of a century. Quiet and
to remarkable degree, those qualities
which endeared him alike to his bust
ness and social associates. He took an
active part in the welfare of the town,
and at the time of his death was mem
Der of the Washington Association,
the Morristown Club, the Morris County
Golf Club, and the Morristown Field
Club Always an admirer of Washing
ton, he became member of the Wash

after removing to Morristown. His
fellow members. approaching the value
of his services, elected him member of
the executive committee and later a

patron of the New Jersey Historical
Society. He was one of the governors
of the Morristown Club and a director
of the Morris County Golf Club.
When about eighteen years of age he
enlisted in the Hampton Battery, Light

DEMOCRATS NAME FLANAGAN.

The nomination of Dewitt @. Elan
agan, of Morris County at the Fourth
District Democratic Convention on
Tuesday came as a surprise to those
Democrats who did not read the
Chronicle last week, as this was the
only paper which published what
was meant to be well-guarded news.
Mr.. Flanagan qualifications to
represent the Democrats of this dis
trict in Congress are not hard to emu
merate. He is an easy and affable
gentleman and is "a member of the
well known firm of Flanagan, Nay &
Co., distillers and brewers of New
York City. Mr.. Flanagan is also
we'll known on the race track and
owns some of the fastest and most
expensive trotters on the American
turf including Little Helen" "Ivan-
dorf, "Little Belle" Sovereign
Girl and his famous mare, Nellie. -
But with all of these qualifi cations it
would at first sight seem little sur
prising that such old time and faith
full workers for the party as ex-Mayor
Quayle, ex-Judge W. W. Cutler
Samuel N Brant and Holloway W. Hunt
should be passed over for gentle
man, who during his six years resi-
dence in New Jersey is understood
never to have voted. After all per-
haps, when it is remembered that Mr.
Flanagan has more than one kind
of a barrel and that he is willing to
let supplies flow both from bung and
spiggott now and in November, it is
not so surprising that the convention
bowed to the dictation of we'll
known Morris County leader.
