very powerful gas is still evolved. 

 There is also a sediment which nearly 

 all evaporates on further heating-. The 

 same thing- takes place with formalde- 

 hyde without water, only the residuum 

 left is black. I am quite aware that 

 formaldehyde attacks iron and steel, 

 but only to a limited extent, and when 

 a layer of oxide is formed on the sur- 

 face of the metal it ceases to attack the 

 metal, owing- to the oxide protecting 

 the metal. With regard to the addition 

 of water causing the gas to polymerise, 

 that will not injure its properties as a 

 disinfectant, even if it did so. Acetic 

 acid and lactic acid are polymers, and 

 water is added to these, but does not 

 alter their uses, and so with formalde- 

 hyde.- Mr. Saunders asks, "Have I 

 fumed combs with diseased brood, pol- 

 len, and heavy stores, and given them 

 back to the bees without a return of 

 the disease 7 '" Yes, I have done so. 

 That is, I have so fumed combs, and 

 have not so far seen any return of dis- 

 ease. 



I have only been experimenting with 

 formaldehyde last year and this, con- 

 sequently I am not in a position to 

 give any definite information as to re- 

 sults this autumn, but hope to do so 

 some time next year. — Blackwood, in

Dr. Miller's New Book 



Free a» a. Preniluni for Sentling; Xwo 

 I^ew Subscribers. 



The book contains 328 pages, is bound in handsome cloth, with gold 

 letters and desig-n ; it is printed on best book-paper, and illustrated with 

 over 100 beautiful original half-tone pictures, taken by Dr. Miller himself. 

 It is unique in this regard. 



The first few pages of the new book are devoted to an interesting 

 biographical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he happened to get into 

 bee-keeping. Seventeen years ago he wrote a small book, called "A Year 

 Among the Bees," but that little v-ork has been out of print for a number 

 of years. While some of the matter used in the former book is found in 

 the new one, it all reads like a good new story of successful bee-keep- 

 ing by one of the masters, and shows in minutest detail just how Dr. Mil- 

 ler does things with bees. 



HOW TO GET A COPY OF DR. MILLER'S 



"FORTY YEARS AMONG THE BEES." 



The price of this new book is fl.OO, post-paid ; or, if taken with the 

 WEEKLY American Bee Journal for one year, both will be sent for $1.75. 



Or, any present regular subscriber to the American Bee Journal 

 whose subscription is paid in advance, can have a copy of Dr. Miller's new 

 book free as a premium for sending us Two New Subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal for one year with $2.00. This is a magnificent offer, and should 

 be taken advantage of at once. For many of our readers it is not only an 

 easy way to earn a copy of the book, but at the same time they will be 

 helping to extend the subscription list of the old American Bee Journal, 

 and thus aiding also in spreading the best kind of apicultural information 

 among those who would be successful bee-keepers.

 and finding it exceedingly difficult to obtain 

 noteworthy concessions in their favor.
