You sing about, in happy, broken rhyme,

Dow the Bees are Robbed.
It was it German, 1 believeewboinvented
the extractor now in common use in Eng-

to bim upon seeing his boy tie • a bit of
string to is piece of honeycomb and swing it
around his head in order to get the .honey
out. The centriftiyal force, •ferced the
honey out of the (tomb. From this to tbe

frame upon whioh honeycomb anay be
placed; by means ef ordinary gearieg the
train° is turned very rapidly, and the
honey fliers from the cella to the sides of the
_barrel and trickles. down. The beauty of
the extractor is that it saves the bees all
the trouble of making honeycomb, a labor
requiring considerable tinae and material,
inasmuch as for every pound of oomb there
are 20 pone& of honey. When the oemb

Into the hive, and the bees dismayed at the
loss of their stores, go to wotk at a terrific'
rate in order to provide for the coming,
famine. When the comb is again eull of
honey, it is placed in the extractor and
again emptied. Acieording to the experi-
ence of my venerable friend, the bees can
be made to do about twide as much work
when their honey is taken avray from them
after thin fashion as when • they. are re-
quired to build comb. In other words, the

tem which he expecte will be able ta pull
treiu on the New York divieion et the
Lehigh road at the rate of eighty miles an
hour. The engine weighs nearly 100,000
pounds, and the tender, when filled with
coal and water, 70,000 pounds. It is alto
stated that the engine will develop from
1,400 to 1,500 horse power. "Cho great
epeed °learned for this enginiesis tat »Med by
constructing the cylinder's- with the steam
and exhaust entirely independent. This
is done by using fewer plain Ode
valves, known • as gridiron valves,
on each oylinder. The valves are
worked by is peculiar eareugenient of
valve gear, in which the motion its
taken frono the connecting rod, and working
entirety on true centres, there being no
sliding surfaces ; the eteam valves behog
independent of the exhauet, and vice versa,
any point of out -off or expansion can be
obtained without the oorreeponding back
pressure and over -compression, as in the
link motion. The , poiut of compression
can also be ohauged without altering the
point of cut-off or expansion, so that) the
same sized cylinder will give much more
poster et a given pressure than oeu be ob-
taffied by the link. To get the full benefit
of this the eugme carries 160 pounds bailee
pressure, the boiler befog constructed 01

out -joints, double -riveted, with 54 inches
for its snaalleet diameter.' • The flee.
box is 11 feet, with 236 two inch

isen being 1,478 egoare feet. The engine
is aleo fitted with an independent ateam
pump mid a heater for feeding the boiler,
