HUNTING WILD BEES.
The Ingenious Method of a Oon

Tracking the Insects to Their Trees vrUi$
the Aid of Loaf Sugar How I
Js Done Bees with
a "Jae."
Up in Litchfield county lives Bert
-Beeman, one of the most famous bee
hunters of the state, writes a Connecti
. cut correspondent of the New York
Sun. Mr. Beeman takes to the busi
ness by instinct, and so far this season
has found nine bee trees and scooped
in a hundred pounds of wild . honey,
and wild honey, it must be remem
bered, has a flavor peculiarly its own,
which cannot be duplicated in those
concoctions of glucose and flavoring
Beeman has his 'own method of findihjj
bee trees, and he does not reveal them
to every Tom,' Dick and Harry who
asks him. Bee trees are not so numer
ous in Connecticut that there' are
enough to go round, so those few-who
possess the peculiar nature or instinct
which picks out such a hive are keep-
"There is one method which the Litch
field county bee hunter uses in certain
cases which he has no objection to be
ing known. When he leaves home for
an expedition he takes along with him
aeveml Inmns of lnaf ti rr-t r Arrivinir
o Id
in the woods he moistens two or three
lumDS and nlaces them on the stnmn
of an old tree or on a rock, and . sits
down to smoke his pipe and wait. De
velopments come rapidly. A busy bee
flies over the spot, scents the sugar,
takes a few sips, and flies away.
Pretty soon it . returns, accompanied
by other bees, and these go and bring
more, until finally quite a swarm will
be hovering over that sugar. Mr. Bee
man gets in his work now. Cautious
ly he catches one of the bees, and with
his sharp penknife he slits both wings.
This doesn't harm the bee, and makes
it distinctive. Keeping his eye on this
bee he takes out his watch and notes
the time when it flies away and the
time when it comes back again, also
the direction which it takes. From
long experience the hunter knows just
how long it will take a bee laden with
honey to fly a certain distance and dis
charge its load of sweets, and how
long it requires to return without its
load. By making his calculations he
knows just about how far the big tree
is. Following the direction of the bee's
flight to the distance he has calculated,
it doesn't take long, with careful
avatciung, to nntl the tree. As a rule
this 6ystem works perfectly, though
circumstances may make the location of
the tree somewhat tedious and labori

"brought him in a good income during
.the fall of each year, and he has
gained quite a reputation as a honey
hunter.
A peculiar story of bees on a glori
ous spree comes from tip Bristol way,
and shows that "jag," however de
lightful it may be to the senses, some
times results fatally to insects as well
as individuals. Mrs. Theodore Hyde
- was making "sweet pickle" pears a few
lays ago, and sweet pickle, especially
after it is spiced, has a very penetrat
ing as well as seductive odor. Mrs.
Hyde left the jar of picklo in her
lcitchen, with the window open, for a
little while, until she had time to run
into a neighbor's and swap receipts for
making pickles. On her return she
was greatly put out, not to say alarmed,
to find that her new pickle had at
tracted a swarm of bees, and her
kitchen was in possession of the in
sects, which knew how to defend them
selves when attacked. She awaited
the return of her husband at dinner
time to know what to do. Ha anfotlv
picked up the jar and set it
out on the lawn, where, dur
ing the afternoon, the bees contiuued
to imbibe the intoxicating concoction
until over half the swarm were in a
state of inebriety.
The jar remained out of doors all
tiicrht. The next mominir t,m t.wn
quarts of pickle were entirely gone,
while in the jar were two quarts of
dead bees which had perished from
cold while too drunk to fly home. It
was the most destructive jag in loss of
life ever known in that region of the
state.

MIDWINTER FAIR.
California Aim winter Interna- )
tiokaIi Exposition. Depabthent V
or Publicity akd Promotion. : )
Weekly Circular Letter No. 8.
The Exposition management has re
newed cause for congratulation on each
enSceeding day in view of the fact that
the fame of the Midwinter Fair is
spreading so rapidly and so satisfactorily
in the East that the number of Eastern
visitors who are to be expected during
the winter seems sure to succeed their
most sanguine expectations. The news
papers of the large Eastern cities, and
those of the small towns in that part of
the country as well, seem to have tackled
as kindly to our Exposition proposition
as those who are near by, and who might
therefore be expected to reap a more di
rect benefit from it. But among all the
nice things that have been said in the
Eastern papers in this connection none
has proven more valuable as an adver
tisement than an editorial utterance-in
the latest issue of the Review of Re
views, one of the most conservative
periodicals in the country. This utter
ance was as follows:
"The Exposition will help to give definite
form to many a man's vague plans for visiting;
the Pacific Coast, and that perhaps will be its
greatest service to its country. Everybody in
the East intends- sometime to make a trip to
California, bat the distance is formidable, and
old men are dying every day who had meant
since 1849 to see the Golden Gate some time or
other, bnt had never got started. The fact of
the Midwinter Fair should transform general
intentions into specific plans. Patriotism, if
nothing else, should impel every American
who can possibly afford it to see for himself
the wonders that lie upon the western margin
of this glorious country-"
The above paragraph most assuredly
echoes Eastern sentiment' and goes a
great way towards, dispelling the idea
which some Californians still cling to
that th.e influx, of Eastern visitors will
not be large. The railroad people have
long ago recognized this fact and are
now making elaborate preparations for
transportation. Strangers are certainly
coming to tne Pacific Coast this win
ter by thousands, and when they get
here, thanks to the eleventh-hour rail
way arrangements, they are going
to have an opportunity to visit the
entire Coast, so that San Francisco
can not justly be said to reap
even the lion's share of the advan
tages at hand. This fact is becoming
more widely recognized as the date for
the opening of the Fair draws near, and
there is a general feeling of pride in the
coming Exposition, and of determina
tion that it should be everything that
has been promised for it. '
An experiment was made on Sunday
last in the way of charging admission to
the Exposition grounds. The only
special attraction offered was a balloon
ascension and a parachute jump from
the airship when it was at the height of
2,000 feet. Otherwise there were only
the buildings to see and the workmen
pushing them along toward completion,
vet nearly 4,000 people paid 25 cents
each to gain admission to the grounds,
and several hundreds have paid the
tame admissicn on each succeeding day
during the week. - This is accepted by
the management as unmistakable evi
dence of the fact that the drawing pow
ers of the Exposition have not been over
estimated. When once the Fair is started
there will be no doubt about liberal
patronage.
It is the intention of the management,
however, that special features shall be
widely advertised during the entire du
ration of the Exposition, and it is to
that end that days have been set apart
for special observance under favorable
auspices for the entire term. In this
way more than half the days of the Ex
position have thus been programmed.
For the first month the programme is
nob an elaborate one, inasmuch as the
opening days of the Exposition are nat
urally supposed to take care of them
selves. The' California Pioneers, how
ever, have their day in January, having
selected the 24th. Stanford university
will celebrate on the 26th, and Butte
county will turn out her entire popula
tion on the 29th. In February there will
be a grand musical festival on the 8th;
the Pacific Coast Association of Fire
Chiefs will celebrate on the 9th, North
Dakota day the 14th and Idaho the 15th.
The Benevolent Order of Elks will con
duct a very interesting observance of
the 17th of February as their special
day. Southern California will turn it
self loose on the 10th. 4he Young Men's
institute will have the 20th, Santa Cruz
county the 21st and Washington's birth
day will probably suffice as the special
feature for the rest of the month.
In March there will be another grand
musical festival on the 8th, the Teach
ers' -congress on the 13th, a geographical
congress on the 16th and a characteris
tic celebration of St. Patrick's day on
the 17th. The state of Michigan and the
state of Nevada have the 12th and 22d
of March, respectively, and Sierra
county will celebrate on the 14th. In
the " month of April the university of
California has its day; so also does the
Order of Chosen Friends and the Knights
and Ladies of Honor. The Native Sons
of the Golden West also hold forth in
April, having selected the 20th for their
Bay. The Odd Fellows have selected
April 25 and the Grand Army of the Re
public the 27th. -. .
The programme for May is the most
complete of all so far, beginning on the
1st of the month with Calif ornia day,
and including between that and the 21st
a half dozen county days, to say nothing
of a grand San Rafael rose festival on
the 7th and German May festival on'the
9th, Knights of Pythias day on the 19th,
a day for the Order of Druids on the
16th, Good Templars' day on the 29th
and a characteristic Decoration day ob
servance on the 80th.
The closing month of the Fair in
cludes a Foresters' day on the 9th,
United Workmen's day on the 19th and
a day to be observed tinder the auspices
of the San Francisco Federation of
Women on the 21st. In addition to these
the Italians will celebrate the 2d, Santa
Clara college the 6th, Santa Clara county
the 14th, Sonoma county the 15th and
the Bunker Hill association the 18th, the
entire enthusiasm of the Exposition to
reach its climax in a grand closing cele
bration on Sunset day, June 80, 1894.
