Beginning at one end it is slop- ed for two inches to a depth of '4 inch, while the same slope is given the other end b}'beginning two inches from the end and sloping it down ?^ inch bv the time the enrl is reached. When the stick is slid back and forth endwise on the gauges both ends will rise and fall alike. This not only obviates the necessity of changing the gauges to correspond with the lowering of the. wax every time a batch of cups is completed, but it enables one to make the first dip at the desired depth, and to vary the successive ones to suit his fancy. If it be inclined to topple over when hung on the rack, the lower half, for two inches at each end, can be taken off, and then the angles or slopes cut as described, there- by throwing more weight to the points of the sticks, which would also necessitate a corresponding elevation of the gauges on the standards. The sloping part can be cut to a V-edge to prevent its turning sidewise when the gauges are tilted above or below a level. If one should want more than eighteen cups in a batch, 5^ of an inch, for each ad- ditional stick, should be added to the length of holder, and the distance apart of the gauges. The forming sticks just fit in the holes in holder so as to turn easily. They are 2 '4 inches from shoulders to points, and pointed as described in the Review for last August. These are more difficult to make than those recommended in "Sci- entific Queen Rearing," but the cups are just as good for trans
