[November 1, 1875. tobacco and lighting with a vesuvian ; the cap with mouthpiece is then put on, and the lips being applied, the smoke can be directed to any point and in almost any Fig. 2. Fig. 3. Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a spray producer, after the pattern invented by Dr. Siegel in his steam spray inhaler. The perpendicular leg of the machine is placed in a small bottle of syrup, and the horizontal tube placed in the mouth, when by blowing, a jet of spray is produced by the air through the horizontal tube rushing over'the top of the perpendicular one, and creating a vacuum in it into which the syrup rises, and is blown to atoms. Fig. 3 is for a similar purpose, it is of india- rubber, and if squeezed, and its end placed in a cup of syrup, it will charge itself and be ready for use. In operating, the inventor says, ' I generally give a few puffs of smoke with the smoker, then remove the top of the hive, and next shower the syrup on the bees with No. 2; this instantly quiets them, and I then use No. 3 to squirt some syrup between the combs. After this the smoker will keep them perfectly subdued. . I have succeeded in uniting bees from two hives with this apparatus, as the shower covers each bee with a fine spray of syrup, which, if scented, is sufficient for the purpose.' NATURAL HISTORY AND ECONOMY OF THE HONEY-BEE. At the late Crystal Palace Show, in Class 31, ' For the best and most interesting collection of natural objects, connected with Apiculture, illustrating the natural history and economy of the honey-bee,' Mr. AY. Carr, of Newton Heath, Manchester, exhibited a large collection of a most interesting character, for which he was awarded the bronze medal of the Associa- tion. We give the list below, and although the articles were not all ' natural' they were highly instructive, and formed a museum, the mention of which will we hope, stimulate others to the formation of simi
