THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW.

down a little every few niinutes. Mr. A. 

 R. Bostock of New Zealand calls attention, 

 in Gleanings, to this point. He uses a 

 lever with one foot of jnirchase and ten 

 feet of leverajje, hanging weights upon 

 the outer end of the lever. There is still 

 another point that he finds it necessary* to 

 observe, and that is that too much pres- 

 sure put on at first, when the slunigum is 

 sloppy and full of water, will burst the 

 cloths. He gradually adds weights as the 

 cakes becomes more solid, until, at last, 

 he has on over 200 pounds, making a 

 pressure of one ton, and this weight is left 

 until the wax ceases to drip. The result- 

 ing pomace is almost as hard as a block 

 of wood. He has tried breaking up 

 these cakes and boiling them over 

 again to see if he coiUd secure any more 

 wax, but obtained none. The editor of 

 Gleanings says that they are experiment- 

 ing with wax presses, but are not yet ready 

 to announce the results. He admits that 

 they havfe found that there is much truth 

 in the views of Mr. Bostock, but says that 

 there are objections to a lever, and that 

 they will be mentioned in an article that 

 he expects to give later.
