342 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



cantile business for two and a half years, and returned to Ann Arbor 

 and studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1869. He prac- 

 ticed law at Almont till 1873, when he moved to Lapeer, having- 

 been elected Register of Deeds the previous fall. He served a sec- 

 ond term in this office and in 1880 was elected Prosecuting -\ttorney, 

 serving one term and declining a second nomination. He was super- 

 visor of Lapeer one year and a Justice of the Peace four years. 

 From 1889-92 he served in the State Senate, making a remarkable 

 record. His independence and fearlessness made him one of the 

 strongest leaders of that very stormy session. 



Retiring from political life, Mr. Taylor turned his attention to 

 his bees and grapes, excelling in this as in his public career. His 

 grapes were among the best produced, and he always secured the 

 best crops of honey. 



He was honored by his fellow bee-keepers by being elected 

 President of the Michigan Bee-Keepers' Association and Director of 

 the National Association. The latter position he held up to the end 

 of 1911. 



Mr. Taylor was an active church worker until his health began 

 to fail, being an elder of the First Presbyterian Church of Lapeer 

 for a number of years. He leaves, besides a wife, three brothers 

 and three sisters. The Review extends to them our heartfelt sym- 

 pathy in this dark hour of affliction. — [Tyrrell.] 



Send In Your Pictures. 



It is getting more and more the "fad" to illustrate periodicals. 

 A good halftone tells half the story. The Review needs good prac- 

 tical articles upon "bee subjects," and the value of the article will 

 be greatly enhanced providing good photographs are included, illus- 

 trating the main features of the subject treated. The Review in 

 the future will not not be a literary production, but just a plain, 

 practical, helpful magazine — one that you will not hesitate about 

 writing for for fear your production will not be scholarly enough 

 for publication. If, during the season, you have "got on" to some 

 "kink" that has proved helpful to you, tell it to your brother, not 

 expecting a reward, and take my word for it you will feel well 

 pleased with the results. 



Now a word about the photographs for making the halftones to 

 illustrate the Review. They ought to be not smaller than a 5 x ?"" 

 in size. The larger the better up to an 8x10". If you have a small 

 Anastigmat lens, you can enlarge the photo to the desired size. If 

 you use a Rectilinear lens, it ought to be of the 5xT" size or larger 

 for best results, so you do not have to enlarge. 



iMake the negative with as much contrast as possible, without 

 losing detail. Then finish by using gloss P. O. P. and squeegee. 

 If you are used to the camera you will understarid these terms; if
