. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. At last I have found a useful premium that has the added charm of novelty. Did you ever wake up in the night and wish that you knew what time it was? Perhaps you must take an early train, or get an early start to town. You wait to hear the clock strike, and go to sleep while you are waiting—perhaps oversleep. It may be so important to know the time that you scramble out in the cold, fish a match out of your clothes, find your watch, and learn that it is only two o'clock. You go back to bed all waked up—perhaps it is an hour before you go to sleep. Perhap
. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. At last I have found a useful premium that has the added charm of novelty. Did you ever wake up in the night and wish that you knew what time it was? Perhaps you must take an early train, or get an early start to town. You wait to hear the clock strike, and go to sleep while you are waiting—perhaps oversleep. It may be so important to know the time that you scramble out in the cold, fish a match out of your clothes, find your watch, and learn that it is only two o'clock. You go back to bed all waked up—perhaps it is an hour before you go to sleep. Perhaps you are caring for a sick person who must take medicine at stated intervals, and you must either keep a light burning, or else strike a light every little while. In short, where is the person who does not sometimes wake in the night and wish he "knew what time it was?'" There is an easy manner in which this can be accomplished, and this is by the use of a "Search Light" clock, the face of which can be lighted up instantly with a tiny electric light, by simply pressing a button at the end cf a cord. Inside the clock is a dry battery that furnishes the electricity. The clock may be set upon a chair, or table, or bureau, or shelf, any place where it can be seen from the bed, and the little wooden ball with the button in one end placed under the pillow, or laid upon a chair by the side of the bed, or in any easily accessible place. When you wake in the night and wish to know the time, simply press this button, and the face of the clock lights up instantly. The figures are large and clear and the time can be told clear across the room. But this is not all. It can be used as an alarm clock. There is no alarm to wind, as in the ordinary alarm clock. Simply set the little hand, in the upper part of the face, at the hour that you wish the alarm to go off, and turn the little switch at the right of the face, and when the hour arrives, the bell will not only ring
