"What Happened to Ted" 



BY ISABELLE HORTON. 



This is a true story ot the poor and unfor- 

 tunate in city life. Miss Horton, the author, 

 is a deaconess whose experiences among the 

 city poverty stricken are both interesting and 

 sad. This particular short story — 60 pages, 

 5x6Jj inches, bound in paper cover — gives 

 somewhat of an insight into a little of the 

 hard lot ot the poor. Price, postpaid, only 10 

 cents (stamps or silver.) Address,

wax-outlel; ami ko when the honey rl.sct. lo

 lldw as long us ii pours Into tin: otlicr com 

 pMrlnicnl, piiBsiii;.' under the partition, 'I'lic 

 wiL\ will lirgin III cdiiic shortly, und, lining so 

 much liglucr lliaii the lionuy, will begin lo 

 rise or pile up in rompartmont A. No matter 

 wliat amount of wax falls into the honey, it 

 keeps rising above and settling below Ibc 

 Icvcl of the honcy-outlel; '„ the depth of the 

 lioily of wax is iiliove and ■';, below; thus it 

 iiHTciiscs until ii Howe out at its own oveiilow- 

 ontlet, and tbcniiflcr maintains its position, 

 becoming neither deeper nor shallower. As 

 lung as wax ami honey continue to tlow in, 

 the wax lloats in its own compartment; and 

 the honey, being so much heavier, sinks nglit 

 Ihrmigb the wax and comes up and out at its 

 own level. If wax stopscoming, that body of 

 wax in compartment A .just remains as it is, 

 neither li'ss nor more, and honey can pour in 

 all day, but will jiass through and out at its 

 own door; and, likewise, should honey stop 

 coming, but wax I'ontinue to How, the honey 

 in the separator remains stationary, and the 

 wax overflows into its own place. There is 

 no limit; the two must separate and flow their 

 own way when they come into the separator, 

 whether it is tons or pounds. 



There should Ijc a check or dam to keep 

 back the slumgum that would wash down 

 into the separator. There is always more or 

 less ot sediment that will get down; but if 

 the cocoons and more bulky foreign matter 

 are kept back the Hne sediment will be found 

 accumulated b.'tween the honey and wax; 

 and when the remnant of wax cools and is 

 removed the sediment comes with it. 



This little contri%-ance I count as a valuable 

 adjunct to any solar, and maj- be used to 

 advantage in many places. I have made my 

 solar with one end for all sorts of trashy 

 combs, and the other end for melting cap- 

 pings, candied sections, new broken combs, 

 und clean combs that may contain honey suit- 

 able for table use that can not well be sep- 

 arated in the extractor. Cappings or broken 

 combs placed in the solar will very soon re- 

 lease the honey and let it run into the sep- 

 arator, and from there it will soon be in a 

 tank or receptacle underneath, and away from 

 the heat and light. I have sold many hun- 

 dred pounds for table use that has been 

 through the solar and separator. The tact is, 

 the separator is a sort of strainer, acting on 

 the specifle-gravity plan, and does its work 

 when the honey is quite warm and thin, so 

 that it separates freely, the impurities float- 

 ing up next to the wax. This idea of a 

 strainer has been published in this journal, 

 but 1 do not take "he time to hunt up when 

 or by whom. 



For cooling and caking the wax I use the 

 Rauchfuss idea of a series of small pans with 

 an overflow from one to the other. The Root 

 Co. is now putting out the same thing with 

 their solars. The honey, besides being 

 strained by the gravity process in the separa-
