THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



July 



will be a joint session of the association with the 

 American Pomological Society, to discuss the 

 "Mutual Relations of Bee-keeping and Fruit-grow- 

 ing." Prof. Beach, of the New York Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, and Prof. Fletcher, of the 

 Central Experimental Farm, of the Dominion of 

 Canada, will help to talk for the bees at that ses- 

 sion; and it is hoped that much will result to the 

 fruit-growers and bee-keepers from this joint ses- 

 sion. If any bee-keeper, who cannot attend the 

 Convention, has any knotty or other questions he 

 would like to have answered at the Convention, 

 will send them to me, I will see that they are 

 presented. A. B. Mason, Secretary.

This figure occupies a niche in the west wing of 

 the EUectric Tower, and Lake Huron i& typified by 

 an Indian, since this one of the great lakes has 

 been named after one of the powerful Indiaji tribes 

 which occupied lower Canada at the time of the 

 iirst white exploration and settlement. The face 

 and figure of the Indian are finely and vigorously 

 modeled.

SURPASSING BEAUTY. 



Tlie following editorial reference to the Pan- 

 American Exposition is made by the Toronto 

 (Ont.) World: 



"The Pan-American Exhibition cannot fail to 

 draw immense crowds of people. Buffalo has 

 really produced a spectacle of the first magnitude. 

 Nothing has ever been designed in ancient or 

 modem times to equal the view that is presented 

 from a dozen different points within the grounds. 

 The architecture, the coloring of the buildings, the 

 illumination, the water effects, the statuary, easily 

 sui'iuiss the efforts of the Chicago people in their 

 great World's Fair of 1893. The feature of the 

 Pan-American spectacle is its condensation. It 

 covers a much less area than the World's Fair. 

 Everytliing is compact and the eye is surfeited 

 with the combination of beautiful effects that 

 everywhere meets it. We imagine that even Pari;-" 

 will readily acknowledge that its efforts of la.st 

 year have been surpassed by the architects and 

 artists of the New \\'orld. As far as the illumina- 

 tion goes, nothing, of course, has ever been at- 

 tempted on such a magnificent scale as is seen at 

 Buffalo. Within the space of a few minutes the 

 grounds are converted from twilight into a beau- 

 tiful incandescence, soft, yet powerful, a combina- 

 tion of sunlight and moonlight. It is not only 

 what one actually sees that appeals to the imagin- 

 ation, but even to a greater extent, the great 

 forces that are at work producing these grand 

 results. Niagara Falls is the great unseen exliibit 

 of the Pan-American Kxposition. The Exhibition 

 itself is the Gun, but the Falls is the man behind 

 the gun that does the work. There is no excite- 

 ment, no sign of exertion, no sweating in the case 

 of the man behind the E.xhibition. The mighty 

 cataract turns the exhibition grounds into a blaze 

 of light with as little exertion as a steam engine 

 would operate a peanut roaster.
