AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



tectural beauty were beyond our ex- 

 pectation. They vividly brougJtit to our 

 mind the poetic description of the Holy 

 City as depicted in the 48th Psalm, 

 which we will paraphrase thus, to suit 

 the present case : 



Let Americans rejoice, and let all the 

 people be glad ! Walk about the 

 Grounds, and go around about the 

 Buildings ; recount the towers thereof. 

 Mark well their bulwarks ; consider the 

 palaces of Arts and Sciences, and tell 

 the story of their magnificence to the 

 nations of the World. 



But the structure of most interest to 

 bee-keepers is the one illustrated on 



as soon as possible it will be done, and 

 then the work will go on at a lively rate 

 until the exhibit fully materializes. 



More particulars will probably be 

 given next week, and thereafter as fast 

 as arrangements are completed. 



There is to be a large collection of old 

 devices (say one of each), including the 

 sun-dried pottery hives of Asia, old hives 

 of wood anciently used in Greece and 

 Rome, and the straw skeps of Europe. 



But what is the use of enumerating ? 

 The oldest and quaintest of every inven- 

 tion, from the most ancient times, will 

 be there, and any of our readers, 



The Outer Wall of the end of the Agricultural Building of the World's Fair. 

 Space 5x500 feet for Exhibits of Bee-Appliances. 



These represent two g-Jass cases, 5x500 feet, for the Exhibits of Honey.

page 281 — the Agricultural Building — 

 where the Bee and Honey Show is to be 

 located. It is to occupy the entire end 

 of the second story, to the right, in the 

 picture. It is light and airy, and from 

 that balcony can be seen the grandeur 

 of the exhibits on the floor below. 



The space is ample, and the exhibit 

 must be a majestic one — surpassing 

 everything that has preceded it in that 

 line — excelling every other preceding 

 World's Fair, both in America or Europe. 



Bee-Keepers have a duty to perform 

 in that direction — to at once prepare 

 their plans to have honey produced in 

 " letters," and in every ornamental 

 device possible ; and this must be done 

 during the present season, so as to have 

 it in position at the opening, on May 1, 

 1893. 



The matter of appointing a Superin- 

 tendent is under advisement, and just 



whether in America, Europe, Asia, 

 Africa or Australia, are invited to tell 

 us about anything to be obtained any- 

 where in the World, and we will see that 

 shipping directions are given (without 

 expense to those who may give us the 

 information), and the ancient will vie 

 with the modern exhibit, to make the 

 largest, grandest, and most attractive 

 display ever seen of things apicultural 

 in the "wide, wide World." 



Dt^" "If you have ten dollars to 

 spend," said Barnum, "spend one for 

 the article, and the other nine in adver- 

 tising it." The old man knew a thing 

 or two about advertising. He also said : 



" 1 can out-talk anybody on earth but 

 the i)riiiter. The one who can stick 

 typo, and talk next morning to thou- 

 sands of people while I am talking to 

 one, is the only man I am afraid of. I 

 want him for my friend."
