Even the adver- tising matter is well worth a study. Now as to w/iy. P'irst, that fine por- trait on the first page. You bee editors are so modest that it must be a treat to those who do not know you personally to see how 3'ou look. An article like Chapman's, fitted to Cuba, would be worth Iroo to me now, even after two season's effort in working up a system. But Miller is the man who set me off. It makes me ^ij'ed to read in some of our bee-papers articles on scientific subjects by men who are not even aware that the subject has been studied at all, and who have not themselves studied it. For instance, why not publish some of Darwins' experiments with comb foun- dation stained red to show what the bees did with the wax? Or Lubbuck's work on the bees' sense of color ? How many of the writers on bees' tongues know that there are whole books.
