In that case the honey runs through, leaks on to the other shipping- cases, and, as a consequence, smears all the cases below it. In 1908 and '9 the little strips of wood to hold the sections out of the honey drip were displaced to some extent at least by what is known as cellular or cushion paper. This is cut into sheets of the right size, and plac- ed in the bottom of the paper tray. The corrugations of the paper serve a double l)uri)ose: First, they cushion the honey placed on them; and. second, the honey drip, if any, runs down between the grooves. The cnshi;ins of the paper,to a great extent, elim-. in ite much of the breakage that takes place When honey is shipped in a solid wood- en case on utiyielding supports like wooden claats.
