THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



obtained at at any hardware store. Two 

 hard wood cross-arms are needed — one 

 below the tub and one above, which has, 

 of course, the nut for the screw. Two 

 cross-sticks should be placed, one on each 

 side of the tub and between the cross- 

 arms, the whole clamped firmlv together 

 with half-inch bolts having heavy wash- 

 ers. These bolts should be outside the 

 cross-sticks, and should be long enough 

 to extend a little above the upper cross- 

 arm. The cross-sticks should be about 

 an inch longer than the depth of the tub, 

 so that the latter may be slid out from ^ 

 the frame to leave it free for pouring out > 

 water, taking out slumgum, etc. We do 

 not claim that this method is the only ; 

 one, by any means; but from our experi- ; 

 ments'it seems very satisfactory for one, 

 the material for which can be obtained 

 by almost any bee keeper. 



In A. R. Bostock's article in Gleanings 

 (July 15) he objects to the use of ihe 

 screw because it pressed the wax down 

 on one side of the pan and not on the oth- 

 er. Well, if he was careful to have his 

 slumgum about level before he applied 

 the pressure, and if his screw was as near- 

 ly perpendicular to the bottom of the 

 pan as possible, he would not be bothered 

 in this way. He also speaks of the pres- 

 sure of the lever as being continual, and 

 that of a screw requiring one to stand 

 over it turning it, which, he says, would 

 hinder him from going away. If he used 

 a screw by the method just describ- 

 ed, the wax would all be squeezed out in 

 in a very few moments, and he would 

 soon be ready to fix up a new batch so 

 that he would have no desire to go away. 

 He "considers" that he gets more strength 

 from one lever than from several screws. 

 If he would figure he would find that, 

 with one screw, the same amount of force 

 exerted, he would probably get the pres- 

 sure of several levers. 



The subject of wax presses is one that 

 needs verv careful attention. One would 

 probably be astonished if he could know 

 the actual amount of wax and money 

 wasted in throwing oltl comb away, or 

 even in depending entirely upon solar ex- 

 tractors. The subject is also a treacher- 

 ous one. Plans that in theory seem per- 

 fect are very apt to have some serious de- 

 fect in actual practice. On the other 

 hand, some people may scoff at a method 

 in theory, which, when the experiment 

 is made, may prove very satisfactory. 

 Therefore if there are those who feel in- 

 clined to answer this editorial we would 

 ask that thev give our method a most 

 careful test along with their own or some 

 other method before they condemn it.

TRAIN TOOK ITS OWN PHOTOGRAPH. 



A large, handsome engraving, 18 x 28 

 inches, has been made of "The Burling- 

 ton's Number One" while going at 60 

 miles an hour between Chicago and Den- 

 ver. It is the best picture of a train in 

 motion ever taken, and "the train took 

 the picture itself." This is explained in 

 a folder which will be sent free on ap- 

 plication. Price of large engraving, 20 

 cents. Postage stamps will do. Address
