Don't forget to attend this convention at the Revere House, southeast corner of North Clark and Michigan Streets, Chicago, next Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. It promises to be one of the most largely at- tended conventions held in the United States in along time. Many prominent bee-keepers have indicated their expecta- tion of being present. As this Association covers such a large territory surrounding Chicago, it should have even a larger attendance than some of the National meetings. Low railroad rates will also be in force at the time of the meeting, on account of the International Live Stock Expo- sition, which is held here the same week. One of the greatest attractions at the coming meeting of the Chicago-Northwestern will be a stereopticon lecture by Mr. E. R. Root. In connection with this, swarming and methods of hiving will be shown by the kinetoscope. As most of our readers know, this will be a moving picture show. The panorama presents in turn the hive of bees, the bees pouring out of the hive in perfect swarms, circling in the air, clustering on a limb, which is then sawed off and carried to a new hive, dumped on the ground, and the bees scooped up by the handful. It takes 10 or IS minutes to run this picture through, for there are over 450 feet of it all told, making in all about 4000 pictures. Mr. Root expects to exhibit this also at the Minnesota convention in Min- neapolis, Dec. 7 and 8, and at the next meeting of the Cin- cinnati association. Surely, it ought to help to draw a large attendance of bee-keepers to all these meetings. There is a good prospect of having in attendance at the Chicago-Northwestern convention the following, some of whom are sure to come : Dr. C. C. Miller, N. E. France, C. P. Dadant, Gus Dittmer, J. O. Smith, Chas. Becker, and many others whose names are well known to the bee-keepers of this part of the
