believe I conld sell 50,000 of them if 1 

 had them now. 



The bottom row in the frames of side- 

 storing have more ftr less pollen in them, 

 but we use them on the table, as we do 

 not object to a little pollen. But the 

 top row contains just as white and solid 

 honey as any sections I ever saw. I use 

 no separators, and my sections are all 

 nice and straight, and weigh just about 

 9 to 10 ounces when full. I believe I 

 shall try quite a lot of them next season. 

 I know they cost just the same as one- 

 pound sections, but if we have them 

 made to hold just a half-pound, they 

 will bring 10 cents every time in our 

 markets, and 20 cents per pound will 

 make up the double price for the sec- 

 tions. Then, they are so cute, and sell 

 so readily. Jennie Atchley.

Tlie CJreat Cliicago Fire. — No 



visitor can properly appreciate the Chicago 

 of to-day — wonderful city that it is— with- 

 out first viewing the city of 22 years ago 

 from the platform of the great Cyclorama 

 .Building, on Michigan avenue, near Madi- 

 son street; see the frenzied flight of the 

 terror stricken multitude, gaze upon the 

 thousands of burning buildings, falling 

 walls, and smoking ruins. The great can- 

 vas tells the immortal story of the Chicago 

 Fire more graphically, thrillingly and 

 truthfully than could be done by a whole 

 library of books. Here are some figures to 

 remember : 



Number of acres burned per hour, 125. 



Number of buildings burned per hour, 

 1,000. 



Number of people rendered homeless per 

 hour, 6,000. 



Value of property burned per hour, $12,- 

 000,000, or a million dollars every five 

 minutes. 



Loss, over $200,000,000. 



People homeless, 100,000. 



Number of lives lost, unknown. 



If all the buildings burned in Chicago 

 were placed end to end, it would make an 

 unbroken row 150 miles long ! 



Don't miss seeing the "Chicago Fire" 

 Cyclorama when in this city. You will 

 never regret it. once you look upon it. 



■fee-Paralysis aiKl tlie QHeeii.— 



In the August Beidew, the editor writes as 

 follows : 



When discussing bee-paralysis with Mr. 

 Taylor, this season, he mentioned one fact 

 that goes to show that it comes from the 

 queen. A neighbor called and wanted a 

 queen. Mr. Taylor had none to spare ex- 

 cept the one in a colony affected with 

 paralysis. He was going to replace this 

 queen, and told the man he might have her 

 until he could spare some other queen. If 

 she turned out all right, well and good — if 

 not he would replace her. When her bees 

 began to hatch out in the colony to which 

 she was introduced, and to take their places 

 in this work-a-day world, the colony be- 

 came affected with paralysis. 



Xlie I^oiiisiana Hotel is the place 

 where the North American bee-convention 

 will be held on Oct. 11th, 12th and 13th. See 

 the advertisement of the hotel on page 324 

 of this issue of the Bee Journal. Any of 

 our readers who may be coming to the 

 World's Fair before the convention is held, 

 would do well to " put up " at the Louisiana 

 Hotel. Full information, on page 324.
