TantaIum Pens.

Pens for writing purposes are being
manufactured today In Germany by
process which is exciting some
curiosity. The trouble found with
steel pens is that they oxidize easily
and the ink sticks to them. This
fault is not to be found with gold
pens; but. on the other hand, these
are too flexible to be entirely salts.
factory. Moreover, in order to form
point suitable for writing purposes,
the material of that part of the pen
has to be mixed with some hard
metal like iridium and this operation
is both complicated and expensive
This new pen is Of tantalum and
comes to the manufacturer in the
form of black powder. The per
that is made from this has the ten
scity of steel and Che fiexibility Of
gold.-Harper's Weekly.

MANY FAKES WITH BEES
Nonswarming Hives Are Delusion,
Pure and SimpIe-"Shook Swarm"
Plan Is Described.

Most Of the socalled nonswarming
hives are fakes pure and simple. The
very last word on the subject is that
of the "shook swarm" plan, that en-
ables the beekeeper to swarm each
hive artificially at his convenience and
not that of the bees. This is the best
method in vogue and is really very
simple. DR.. d. Everett Lyon explains
the process in the Farm and Home:
When hive gives evidence that 1t is
thinking about swarming, as seen in
the bees clustering on the outside of
the hive and the presence Of queen
cells started in the brood nest, 1t is
time to shake them.
Take an empty hive with lid and
bottom board in place and with the
frames of the hive containing strips Of
foundation wax in place as full combs.
Place the empty hive alongside the
one about to swarm and then, lifting
the brood frames from the old hive,
shake off from each frame almost all
the bees until all the frames have
been so shaken in front of the new
hive, being sure to shake the queen
along with the bees.
Then set the old hive with its brood
nest off some distance and put the
new hive with the bees in Its place
Be sure to take all the storage cham.
bers from the old hive and place them
on the new hive into which the bees
have been shaken. The working force
is with the new hive and that's where
we want the storage chambers, which
will be quickly filed, as the bees, hav
ing only started strips Of wax In the
brood combs, must, of necessity, store
the honey coming in the next few day.

Honesty Increasing.

On her return from marketing, the
young matron of the upper West side
said to a caller: 81 believe the sense
of honesty is increasing in New York,
at least in this locality. This morn
ing l called the attention of a sales
man to small mistake he had made
in giving me change, the mistake be-
ing in my favor. The proprietor,
who was standing near, said to me-:
You're honest. You'll get along all
right Not so many years ago the
thought that seemed far too prevalent
in this country was that only some
clever form of dishonesty could get
along all right The merchant who
could trick customer was supposed
to be the smart fellow, and it was as
sumed an honest person was sure to
get the little end of everything, am
delighted to find even one man who
realizes that honesty is actually indis
pensable to success, and it is especial
ly pleasing to find him In place
where can deal with him regularly
