THE BUSY BEE.

II your hives are poorly sheltered,
or full Of cracks, the heat will pass out
and the bees will have to consume Just
so much honey for fuel.
If your bees have good warm hive,
a good queen and plenty of honey, very
little care will be required from you
until next swarming time arrives.
If any hives are gaping at the cor
ners now will be good time to renal
them, and put on an additional coat of
paint.
Do not try to keep your bees warm
BY closing up the entrance Of the hives.
Make the top as tight and warm as you
please, but allow sufficient bottom ven
tilation
To protect empty combs from the
moth larvae, place them where they will
get good freezing during the winter.
Nearly all empty combs will be found to
contain moth eggs in autumn. II the
combs are kept in the cellar, or other
moderately warm place, these eggs will
hatch into larvae, and feed upon the
boneycomb.
Look out for mice getting into bee
hives during winter. They play havoc
with the combs.
Remember, it is just as important to
take proper care Of the honey, and put
1t on the market in 6rst-class condi-
ton, as it is to use the best and most
economical means Of securing it. One
Of the essentials Of proper care is
keeping the honey in a very dry and
warm place; especially is this true of
comb honey, or extracted heney in open
cans.
Honey taints very easily, and for
this reason it is best to use as little
smoke as possible when extracting
After many experiments in melting
honey, | have come to the conclusion
that it cannot be done without impart-
ing to it a waxy flavor.
When hunting wild bees, light small
fire and burn small pieces o. old comb
Or beeswax, drawing the bees 10 this
way. Then take comb of honey and
let the bees settle on il, and place it in
side Of a box. When your first bee gets
filled, keep your eye on her. After cir
cling several times. each circle being
larger, she will start on a straight line
from yOu-sometimes she will start for
home when so far away that one needs
good eyes TO see her.
If the colony is close by there will
soon be others following the first bee.
When you sal see them leave the comb
and go without circling, then get d.
rect line marked by something you will
remember. Get some of the bees into
the box and carry them to some other
location where your observation will
not be broken by trees, and let your
bees down on the comb, watching them
as before, till you secure a straight line
from this point. Now, all you have to
do is to follow up this line until you
come to where the other line crosses. -

PATTERyING AFTER OXFORD.

With ample endowment IN hand or pros
pective. unhampercd by tradition, and in n city
and State where educational conditions are in
n plastic shape. DR. Harper has the rare pleas
ure of n true educator in being able TO plan NJ
will, and broadly as his wisdom or the expe-
rience Of the past suggests. rs 10 the future
of the University Of Chicago. His latest
nouncement. therefore, Il is not surprising 10
find, marks another step IN the development az
an institution Of learning on broad lines and
at the same time new in American educational
policy-namely the adoption OF a system of col
leges similar 10 that of oxford University.
The plan involves the erection Of many build.
ings. ms there viii he separate colleges Of art,
literature science. ctc.. with separate reclta-
lions halls. dormitorfcs and faculties; all, how
over, under tho general administration Of the
university authorities. At oxford there are
twenty-one of these existing colleGes-the old
est, University College, dating back 90 1919,
while Keble College was founded in 1865 There
are also six halls, while the extinct colleges
number seven and the extinct halls are six in
number. 1t is probable that the halls sys-
TEN will also be adopted at the Uni
versity Of Chicago. These halls" differ
from colleges in not being Incorporated and in
not having any fellowship endOwments The
students live as i'm the colleges and pass through
the course to the same degrees, the chief diff
ference between the hall and the college in
earlier times being that the master or principal
of the hall was chosen 10y the students or
ciety of that hall This institution tended
toward individuality and that it is said. is one
OF the chief aims President Harper has in
view in thus patternng the university on the
Midway so closely after the one on the Isis.
Whether the peculiar conditions which resulted
in making the oxford Of to-day can be success
fu1lv initiated in the newest Of our great uni
verslties remains TO be seen Certainly the
aim toward NATURALIZATION in education has
much in its favor, but the pouring of new wine
into old bottles OF adopting Old World ways

SUCCESS Of which mnv well be doubted.

THE MAVHATT4V BRIDGE.

Commissioner Best says We'll have the
Manhattan Bridge ready for the public by
January l. 1907 That is seven years from
the beginning of Mayor Lows administration
and then the foundations were already under
way. How much better it would have been it,
as The Tribune urged at the time, the plans
bad been changed and in place of this enOr
mously expensive bridge a tunnel in the same
locality had been undertaken which might
easily have been completed by 1906!
The city is going on to spend a vast sum of
money. remove from the assessment roll n vast
amount OF property and get no relief for traffic
for the next five years. Moreover. the bridge
requires the concentration Mt one point of
large number OF tracks. adding to the conges
ton Of traffic at terminals, when the prime OBJ
iect of transit endeavors should be diffusion
We have now an almost insoluble problem in
providing connections between the two existing
bridges without running the appearance of the
city with elevated structures. So we proceed
10 add n new complication! When the Manhat
ten Bridge is built then the cry will be for more
elevated lines in the Bowery or Em-st or
Centre-st, for no terminal scheme now project
ed will be adequate for the trains which will
come over that bridge. 1t is n monument TO
wasteful shortsightedness. 1t has needessIy
doomed the people Of Brooklyn 10 years of
crowding.

SEASIDE PARK PROJECTS.

Associations and individuals are renewing the
discussion Of plans for seaside park, and the
Mayor has signifed his approval OF the idea
without committing himself TO any particular
scheme. At intervals for a number of years
efforts nave been made To arouse public and
official interest in the proposal that the city
should acquire more land at Coney Island and
create there a. respectable place Of popular re-
sort with ample frontage on the ocean and
other facilities for rational enjoyment i'm the
open air. 1t is an undoubted fact that such a
park would be a source Of harmless pleasure to
a multitude Of persons, and especially to poor
women and children, while Il might reasonably
be expected TO repay its cost many times over
through its effect on the public health. More
ambitious projects, calling for large expendi-
ture on buildings and adornments, have been
unwisely preached, but the simpler plan is the
one which has gained the appreciation OF intel
Hgent citizens.
There is another proposal of similar character
which has not commanded so much attention,
but which IS well worthy Of careful considera-
ton. In HIS annual report last year Park Com
missioner Wilcox earnestly recommended that
a large tract Of land on Staten Island should
be acquired for park purposes while property
there is still held at moderate prices. After
going over the ground with the local commit
tee which had been appointed 10 consider the
suDlCcI. Nj. W lucOA eApresbeu llle opinion IHat,
with some notifications the committees plan
was feasible, that four thousand acres could
be acquired for less than S2000000. and that
advantage OF the present opportunity ought to
be taken. I'm consideration of the existing de-
fciency Of park space in New-Yor1 and the GER
tainty that the need which is already felt will
constantly become more urgent with the rapid
growth OF population. II may he that so large
an undertaking is not advisable, but we believe
that the city would do well 10 take possession
Of enough land on Staten Island 10 make n
spacious rural park while It can he procured al
small cost and while It still preserves natural
features which few years hence il might be
necessary TO recreate in an imperfect way at
great expense

TIE ERE IN TORONTO.

Toronto is the latest American city 70 suffer
from big fire since the new year came in. The
area over which destruction spread was small
but il was covered by warehouses and business
structures of great value. Considering the
severity OF the gale which ragged ut the time
one can only be surprised that the minimum esti-
mate Of the property loss is S5,0O0.000. and that
no more than 5000 or 6,000 persons are thrown
out Of employment. Both consequences might
easily have been much more serious. II Is
equally marvellous that only one or two persons
were killed
That the consequences were not more terrible
is largely attributable TO two facts. The scene
OF Tuesday evenings outbreak was 50 near 70
the lake front that the IRE could have ex-
tended but a short distance further TO the soutb
ward under tie influence of the prevailing
northwesterly gale. though it ate its way east
ward two three blocks. Again the Toronto
firelnen might not have been able 10 check tho
progress OF the flames but for the prompt ar.
rival of help from other cities and especially
