. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. Entered at the Poet-Office at Chicago as Second-Class Mail-Matter. aeORQE W. YORK, Editor. CHICAGO, ILL, DEC, 15,1904, VoL XLIV—No. The Kinetoscope at Bee-Conventions. Mr. Ernest R. Root is a versatile man. He can do so many different tilings, and do them all so well. His latest attempt is the management of a kinetoscope, by which moving pictures are thrown on the screen—pictures in which every motion is shown just as if the very pictured thing itself were in actual operation before your eyes. For instance, the hiving of bees, looking for the queen in a colony, and, in fact, every motion made in the manipu- lation of a hive and colony, or the hiving of a swarm, are presented in perfect life-likeness. This was the very in- teresting feature of the Wednesday evening session of the recent Chicago-Northwestern convention. The hall was crowded, and the whole performance was greatly enjoyed by all. This was the first appearance of moving bee-pictures in the United States. They were of English manufacture, and so were of English hives and English methods and manipulations. The usual quick action of the apiarian operator as the result of a bee-sting was fully appreciated by the duly initiated observers. As an experiment, live bees were caged between a double glass and also reflected on the screen. The way the shadows of these bees scurried around was certainly surprising as well as amusing. In addition to the kinetoscopic exhibition, Mr. Root also, gave a stereoscopic display, showing various pictures of the factory and apiary of The A. I. Root Co., besides portraits of many prominent bee-folks, apiaries, parts of the bee—such as the tongue, eyes, sting, etc.—and many other pictures "too numerous to mention ". Mr. Root is a great entertainer with his stationary-and- moving picture exhibition. He gave the same show both at the Cincinnati and the Minneapolis convention since the Chicago-Northwestern meeting.
