Great Britain imported honey to 

 the value of nearly $14,000 during the 

 month of September. 



Mrs. and Eugene Secor, of 



Forest City, Iowa, made us a very pleas- 

 ant call recently. They just missed 

 being at the Illinois State Bee-Keepers' 

 Convention held in Chicago on Oct. 18 

 and 19, the report of which we close in 

 this number of the Bee Journal. Mr. 

 Secor is well known throughout the 

 apiarian literary world on account of his 

 poetical as well as other interesting pro- 

 ductions. 



Father L,ani> stroth has written 

 his autobiography for Gleanings, which 

 will be published in serial form, begin- 

 ning with the number for Oct. 15th. 

 The series tell in an interesting manner 

 about " his early boyhood, experiences, 

 and tendencies ; short sketches of his 

 college life, how he became interested in 

 the study of bees, the circumstances 

 which led to his invention that revolu- 

 tionized bee-keeping, with here and 

 there interesting reminiscences, charm- 



ingly told, of noted bee-keepers of the 

 early days." 



If you want to take advantage of this 

 opportunity to read about the life of 

 Father Langstroth, you can do so by 

 sending us $1.75 for both the Bee 

 Journal and Gleanings one year. You 

 cannot afford to miss this chance to get 

 the best bee-literature at a nominal 

 price. 



A Correction.— On page 598, of 

 last week's Bee Journal, in Dr. Miller's 

 answer to the question whether the eggs 

 in an impregnated queen are different 

 from those of a virgin, we made him 

 say, " Not while in the apiary." Read 

 ovary in place of " apiary," and you will 

 see that the Doctor is still able to write 

 sensibly. It was all our fault. 



Charles E. Parks, Secretary 

 and Treasurer of the G. B. Lewis Co., of 

 Watertown, Wis., spent some weeks last 

 month in California. While in Oakland, 

 Calif., he visited J. W. McClymonds, city 

 Superintendent of schools. Twenty 

 years ago Mr. Parks and the latter gen- 

 tleman taught schools in one of the 

 Western States, and they roomed to- 

 gether and nightly swapped stories. To- 

 day, Mr. Parks is a wealthy man, he 

 being one of the owners of a large bee- 

 hive and box factory. He has valuable 

 patents on boxes, and is negotiating to 

 establish a factory for making fruit- 

 boxes in California.
