Saves limo In Anlary.

It is quite important to keep drone
comb out of sections, reason that
possibly some bee-keepers have not
thought of, is that a queen is more
likely to go up into the super and lay
eggs there, II there Is drone comb in
the super, unless indeed she finds
plenty of drone comb in the brood
nest. l have more than once seen
few drone cells in one corner of a Sec
tion left vacant awaiting the queen,
when the section would have been en-
tirely filed had no drone cells been
present. All comb built by the bees
goes under the name of honey comb.
Cells will be found in honey comb
measuring Ave to the inch, these are
worker cells, while drone cells meas.
ure four to the inch. In changing
from drone to worker cells, few ir-
regular cells are built, called transl.
ton cells. All of these are used for
storing honey as need requires, there
is no difference between drone and
honey comb. When bees store honey
rapidly, the surplus comb built is
generally drone comb, perhaps be-
cause a given amount of wax will con-
tain more honey II drone comb is
built than II worker comb. So 1t is
saving of time to build drone comb,
and such busy creatures as bees like
to cave both time and wax.

Told Of an Adventure In Force 10.
Doubtless there were many puzzled
readers when deep sea skipper
rolled into New York harbor a few
days ago and reported that his ship
had been belated by gale which had
piped up to force TO-" Force TO-" it
was explained, meant something like
a hurricane.
1t is term borrowed from the
Beaufort scale, a scheme of wind
measurements devised by the British
Admiral Beaufort before the days OF
oceangoing steam. Force / was a
calm, force 2 light breeze, and so
on up to the hurricane velocity.
Perhaps, too, the Beaufort scale
may give a clue to those who have
been wondering for some time at the
title Of a popular German picture. 1t
is just one expanse of frowning cloud
and storm tossed billow, and the artist
has named it "Windstarke 10, H."

The Difference.

Sydney Rosenfeld once wrote 9
comedy entitled The Optimist, which
achieved success after the production
but was long time reaching the
stage. Manager after manager re-
fused the manuscript, and one day
Mr.. Rosenfeld, whose patience was
exhausted, blurted out to his sole audi
tor:
"Of course you don't appreciate the
play! You don't even know the
meaning of its name"
Eyes. I do," protested the i'm
presario.
WELL" insisted Mr.. Rosenfeld,
whats the difference between an op-
timist and a pessimist?"
The manager barely hesitated.
"An optimist is an eye DOCTOR" he
said; "a pessimist is foot doctor."-

An uncspplne Box Possessing Many
Excellent Features.
A few words in regard to the un-
Gaping box that l use. The upper
section, that holds the cappings, is
six feet long, 27 inches wide and 18
inches deep. 1t has a heavy, wire
screen bottom, a rim Of narrow boards
around the top, with three cross
pieces to support the combs. A spike
is driven up through the center Of
each Of the latter to rest the frames
upon when uncapping the combs. The
corners are halved together in both
sections. There is a cover that fits
on bee-tight.
The bottom section is the same size,
only much shallower, the sides being
only Ave inches deep. The ends are
seven inches deep In the middle. but
are reduced to Ave at the ends. To
help support the screen above, q
board seven inches wide is placed
lengthwise Of the lower section. To
the bottom of this frame Ia nailed o
sheet Of galvanized iron six feet and
one-half-inch long, and enough wider
than the bottom so that an edge can
be turned up all round, nailed fast
and pounded down SO as to make a
smooth edge and tight Joint. At
each corner is nailed piece Of board
as long as the end pieces are wide at
the middle. These pieces furnish
what might be called legs, and keep
the box firm in an upright position.
Each section Is furnished with handles
made from tugs cut from an old har-
ness. There is honey gate at one
end Of the lower section.
Here are some Of the advantages
Of this box, explains writer in Bee
Keepers Review. The cappings can
be spread out over a large surface,
which allows the honey to drain out
much more freely than 1t does in a
small box or can; there Is not only
plenty Of room to spread them out,
but they can be stirred occasionally
with garden rake; there is room
and place to hang the combs after
they are uncapped where the drip
will go into the box, and they are In

OLD TOM AND NELSON.
Tells How He Ruled the Rules Of the
Queens Navy.

1ucen's navy.
The great Nelson's sovereignty was
confined to the seas; on shore his
valet, old "Tom," ruled him complete
ly. He was no hero to Tom, but a
boy to be governed kindly but firmly.
To the end of his days the faithful old
servant ascribed his masters fate to
the fact that he was not aboard Nell
sons ship at Trafalgar.
Tom had been everywhere with Nell
son until the time of Trafalgar. On
that occasion he was detained In Lon
don too late to go to sea witn Nelson,
and ever afterward he used to say:
IF had only been there Lord Mel
son would not have been killed, for
he should not have put on that coat!
"He would mind me like a child"
the old fellow would go on, "and when
found him bent on wearing his fin
cry before a battle / always prevent
ed him.
"'Tom,' he would say, I'll fight this
battle in my best coat
"'Oh, no, my lord. you shan't,' I'd
say.
"'But why, Tom? he'd say.
"'Why, my lord? You Just ask no
questions, but fight the battle flrst,'
I'd say, and then I'll dress you up in
all your stars sand garters and you'll
look something like. But after the
battle, not before, my lord He got
on his best coat at Trafalgar, because

DEMOCRATS STAND
FOR SUGAR TARIFF
M'ENERY OPENLY ADVISES SUP.
PORT OF PROTECTIVE
POLICY.
HOoSIER SENATOR SEES JOKER
IN MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
SCHEME.

Washington, May 2e.-The senate
yesterday began the formal consider
alton OF the sugar schedule, but did
not approach a vote upon it. Instead
the time allotted to this schedule was
entirely given over to speechmaking
and strange TO say, two speeches on
the subject, while made by democrats,
were in strong advocacy of a high
tariff on sugar of all grades. The
speeches were by Senators Foster
and McEnery OF Louisiana. Mr.. Fos-
ter laughihgly deprecated the appli-
cation Of the word protection" to his
attitude, but Mr.. McEnery boldly es-
pOused the protective theory, and
openly advised his democratic friends
to follow his example. He declared
protection to be in line with demo
cratic policy. He was cheeTed by the
careful attention of leading republican
senators, but his remarks received
but scant attention from his demo
cratic colleagues.
The lumber schedule was tempOrar-
lily put aside in order 10 permit the
committee on finance to make a
change in it. Early in the day Sena-
tOr Beverage addressed the senate
at some length in support Of his con-
tcntion that President Taft had, pre-
vious to and after his nomination,
been a consistent advocate of a down
ward revision Of the tariff. He fol
lowed the maiden effort Of his dem
ocratic colleague, Shiveley, who un-
dertook to prove that if the tariff bill
now before the senate should become
a law the rates over which the senate
is wrangling would not constitute The
tariff that would go into effect, but
that under the maximum and mini
mum provision the country would find
itself operating under the maximum
rate which is 25 per cent higher than
the minimum.

Washington, May 26.-Had it not
been for the attitude Of the progress

ton Of an income tax amendment to

Senator Bailey might have reached an
agreement yesterday with members
OF he finance committee for a vote
OIL MS amendment on June 10.
Ohense was taken by some Of the
gO-caIIed insurgent republicans be-
cause Of the notice served by the Tex

agreements could be obtained on any
phase Of the tariff bill 50 long as Sen
atOr AIdrich refused permission for
the fixing Of a time for a vote on Mr..
Raileys income tax amendment.
1t was made clear at an informal
conference yesterday that the repub-
}icans who are supporting the Cum,
Minis amendment desire a continuance
Of the coalition with the democrats,
but that they did not want It at the
expense of surrendering control Of
the income tax fight to the democrats.
Mr.. Cummins conveyed this view to
Mr.. Bailey.
Before this action was taken, how
ever, a. conference was held by re
publican members Of The finance com
mittce relative to fixing a time for
the vote on the income tax question
and All other amendments to the tar
IF bill. I'm the opinion OF members
Of the committee, the work on the
schedules will be completed by June
10. and they could sec no reason,
therefore, for resisting the fixing Of a
time for a vote on the Bailey amend
mont beyond that time.
Mr. Cummins said he would Offer
his income tax amendment Just as
soon as consideration of the SEIZED

revise his amendment to meet the
wishes Of a number of republicans. It
viii provide for a fiat rate Of two per

TO individual stockholders of corpora

that the total Of his income is less
than s. 600 a year. The Bailey
amendment provides for a tax Of ,
