The explosion in the Pocahontas mine
in Southwest Virginia, by which m i
many men lost their lives, is now at
tributed to the presence of a great deal
of fine coal and coal dust on the floors
of the mine. The dust, mingled with
air. constitutes an explosive mixture
which can be fired by the approach of a
flame of any kind. In the Pocahontas
raise, wbere this dust was very abu ndant,
there waa so lack of opportunities for
tha Introduction of flame, as it was cus
tomary to ne a great deal of powder in
blasting out the coal. Some of the
powder was undoubtedly wasted by the
inexperienced miners and mingled with
the fine coal, thus adding to lite danger.
A locomotive with an open f re was also
being coflstaatly rna into the mine. It
is considered certain that Uwre was no
fire-damp.

Some people get iato s fsry of ex
xtement whenever they see a bee or
jcar its hum. though it be oaly latent
ja gathering a little honey from the
aearcst Cower. They shout and wal
lop about them with hands or handker
jaicfs. as if they were being attacked
or aa cnemr. Such are just the people
who generally get stuag. Let tue bee
Uone. even though it is buzzing cloe
to your face, in all likelihood it is
jnly animated by cariosity. Make a
fuss about it, strike it, or get it en
tangled in your clothes or hair, and
blame yourself if you feel its javelin.
When encased in collection- honey
sr pollen lrom the flowers, no amount
of teasing will cause it to sting unless
you hurt or entangle it. Even when a
swarm fills the a r von mar safely walk
about in tho midst of It, only 1st your
motions oe slow and iieiiocntte. nouid
they alight on your hands or face,
never mind, they will soon fir again;
they are only resting. In such a case
go slowly aside, and give yourself a
gentle shake or two, but refrain from
brushing or besting at the bees. Avoid,
however, standing in the line of the
flight of bees goinr from or returning
to thcii Lives. At such times they have
such an impetus that before they are
aware of your presence they get en
tangled in'your hair, and are apt to re
sent your obtrusiveness. So much for
one s passive tohavior. Let us now
suppose ourselves engaged in necessary
action. First let us learn these princi
ples:
1. Bees never attack wben their
stomtchs are filled with honey or other
liquid sweet. This is their normal con
dition when swarming, and therefore
they are then harmless, as also when
returning laden to their hives.
2. Neither do they attack when
thoroughly frightened. We frighten
bees by blowing smoke among them, or
by rapping rather vio.ently on their
hives.
3. When bees are alsrmed in a hire
by smoke or concussion, their first im
pulse is to fill their honey hags from
their combs.
4. Dees in a hive that is constantly
being rapped against wdl in a few min
utes rush bo Jily out Trom among their
combs into aa empty skep or box set
over them.
Suppose cow we wish to get all tho
tee out of a common straw hive. We
provide the needful emptj- skep and
lour wood or iron pins, six or seven
inches long, a roll of burning rags, un
less we possess a modern bel
lows, smoker or tobacco pipe, and a
stool or empty poll, on which to steady
the hive whilo operating. Wc now ap
proach the hive, blow three or four
whiCs of smoko into the entrance to
drive In any loiterers, gently raiso the
eda from the floor board, and repeat
the smoking. Without the least jar,
now lift the hive boldly up. and gently
turn the mouth upward. If the bees
show any sign of being ill-natured, give
them a p"uff occasionaDy. Set the crown
of the hive on to the stool or pail, and
see that it is stead and having the
side where the bees "are thickest raised
an inch or two, now fix the empty skep
over the other by sticking two ot the
pins into tne lower nive. aooac as. men
or two below the highest part of iU
edge, so as to support the alga of the
empty skep. Tho other pius, sharp
epea at both ends, are placed as sup
ports betwen the skeps. They will
thus touch each other at one side, tho
other being opea so as to give a full
view.
Now commence rapping, gently at
first, but gradually with more force,
against the sides of the lower hive. In
a few seconds' the bees-will commence
to run as if for life fo the upper hive.
Amongthem mar be seen the queen if
a sharp lookout be kept. The great art
here is ia keepiag the bees in one con
tinuous, steady stream. Once they take
a stand it b not so easy to dislodge
them. Five to ten minutes should suf
fice to finish the operation if the room
be warm. Ihe driven bees may now
bo shaken about or tumbled from ono
btve to another without the slightest
risk of stings.
If the weather be cold, or the opera
tion to be performed at a season when
there is no unsealed honey in the hire,
a little warm syrup should be sprinkled
on the bees before commencing to drive.
In our modern hives wc use less cer
emony in dislodging the bees. After a
whiff of smoke we simply lift the frames
ot comb one t a time, give them a
shake in frw.t of the hive or skep wo
want to get die bees into, and in a min
ute whisk off the few that remain with
a feather.
In getting bees into a hivo we either
pour them down in front of it. directing
their course to its entrance with a feath
er, or shake them at once on the top of
the frames, and cover instantly with a
cloth.
To secure a swarm that has issued
and clus'ercd on a tree or bush, we ad-vl-e,
if possible, to cat the branch ofi
after all are settled. If this be done
gently, the bees can then be carried to
the stand thuy are to occupy, laid down
at the door of their new iuve, and di
rected with a feather, as before: other
wise we hold an inverted skep bclo?
the cluster, give the branch one sharp
rap. cover the skep. into which the bee
will fall. w:th a cloth, and carry it tc
its future abode.
To make a simple examination of a
colony in a bar frame hive, the quiit 'a
removed, a puff or two of smoke given,
and the frames arc lifted one at a time,
with as little ja- as possible. Both side
can be examined, the queen seen and
captured it desired, and the entire
secrets of tho hive discovered without
hurting a bee or receiving a sting.
