THE BEE^KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



Pressure of the bulb sends a stream of air 

 from each orifice into the blaze in front of 

 it. Now to the point. Just a little back of 

 and above each orifice is a reservoir having 

 connection with the orifice. These reser- 

 voirs are filled with powdered magnesium, 

 and when the air rushes through it sucks 

 down and carries with it into the flame a 

 perfect shower of magnesium which burns 

 with a flash that is almost blinding. When 

 everything is in readiness several flashes of 

 the strong light are thrown upon the object 

 to be photographed and the result is a sharp 

 clear picture. 



Upon inquiry I learned that Mr. Hunt had 

 already had his exhibit photographed upon 

 a previous evening. The Boyden Bros, of 



stage of the work would not have done jus- 

 tice to the show they made, hence it only 

 remained to photograph my own display. 



The pyramid at the left is round. As will 

 be seen, it is composed of 12-pound cases of 

 comb honey, with the spaces caused by piling 

 them in circular form filled with the differ- 

 ent sizes of the Muth jars filled with ex- 

 tracted honey. The upper part of the pyr- 

 amid is of pound bottles with tin foil caps 

 and a sheet of glass bound with gilt paper 

 between each tier. Each pyramid is sur- 

 mounted by a boquet of goldenrod, but un- 

 fortunately the artist did not elevate the 

 camera sufiiciently to take in these crowning 

 beauties. The pyramid against the wall 

 really explains itself. How the light com-

Saline, Mich., new exhibitors, had a fine 

 show of extracted honey in several pyramids, 

 several nuclei of bees, a show case of 

 comb honey and some as fine cakes of wax 

 as I ever saw, honey extractor, hive, etc., 

 etc. They had already commenced packing 

 up and a picture of their exhibit at that 



ing in these big windows does make the 

 honey sparkle! Against the wall, as a back- 

 ground, are tacked specimens of honey pro- 

 ducing plants, pressed and mounted. I had 

 more single-comb nuclei than could be 

 placed in a straight line for lack of room, 

 and I had to set them up like a rail fence.
