THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



September 



"The Evolution of the Heroine " is a 

 pleasant literary essay by Professor 

 H. H. Boyeser. The" Human Horses" 

 treated of by Walter Rogers Furness 

 are the jinrickisha-bearers of Japan. 

 F. K. Henry writes of " Inconsistent 

 Franchises" in the mingling of trusts 

 with insurance. In " Talks with the 

 Trade," the editor discusses " Writers 

 and Typewriters." 



Phosphorus and Phosphoresc- 

 ence, It may be naturally supposed 

 by those who have given but little at- 

 tention to the subject, that the pres- 

 ence of phosphorus in some, form is 

 necessary to the exhibition of ihe phe- 

 nomena of phosphorescence. This, 

 however, is not the case. The word 

 employed is made up of two Greek 

 terms signifying light-bringer, and 

 was used before the elementary sub- 

 stance phosphorous was discovered. 

 As nearly as can be ascertained, the 

 quality of phosphorescence is closely 

 connected with electrical conditions as 

 yet little understood. In certain cases 

 the atmosphere itself becomes phos- 

 phorescent. The writer has seen moon 

 less nights when everything could be 

 clearly seen by a sort of diffused light 

 without apparent origin, and casting 

 no shadows in any definite direction.

 orest's Magazine for September. 



In all its history of sixty-four years, 

 Godey's has never made a more rad- 

 ical or more welcome change than it 

 has in its recent reduction in price to 

 ten cents. The cover of the August 

 number shows that clever and artistic 

 innovations are to be made under the 

 new regime. The contents are fully 

 up to the standard. It is all readable 



and there is nothing too deep for the 

 summer months. The Seward remin- 

 iscences arc continued and there are 

 finely illustrated articles upon New 

 York Roof Gardens, the Battlefieleof 

 Waterloo in 1894, and the Yale-Har- 

 vard boat race of 1894. A long list 

 of fiction and the fashion department 

 complete the number.
