It is a mathematical fact that a sphere cod- 

 tains the greatest solid contents in relation to 

 its surface, of any solid; i.e. . that a sphere 

 having 100 square inches of surface will have 

 a greater number of cubic inches contained in 

 it than any other solid having the same area. 

 But we can not have a spherical section, for 

 various reasons. The nearest approach to it 

 that we could use would be one in the form 

 of a cube. This is hardly desirable because 

 it would be almost too small to put founda- 

 tion into, and would look small when filled. 

 However, we can use the4>4x4i4 plain sec- 

 tion, which is the nearest approach to it. 



Let some scientist tigure out for us how 

 much more comb or wax it takes to fill a 4x5 

 than a square section, then let him multiply 

 this by 10 to 2,5, which I think is the number 

 of pounds of honey commonly claimed to 

 produce a pound of wax. Again, let him 

 multiply by 15 cents, the price per pound of 

 the honey, and this product by 1000. We will 

 then know how much we lose on every 1000. 



Then, too, there is the first cost. Section- 

 holders for these boxes cost .^2.25 per 100, 

 while those for others can be obtained for 

 fl.90. Other goods are in proportion. One
