HOW TO ITALIAMrS YOCB ET33.
To IuliAn'zj yar bees safely and inthe nwi printable way, yea mast sendfor a good Iu'ian qieen to introdnce inthe stronzeiS colony cf your apiary.As soon aa the new qaeen has arrived,tike another empty hive of the same
-, bees, and insert a divisionbeard so that yoa will nave cn year lefta little room in the hive for four trainee.Now tits ;n the colocy which shallhave the new qaeen, two" combs withplenty cf sealed brood. On one of thesea''nU case the new qaeen and br.nner the second brood-eota- b and alla.iner-n-g bees, bat withont the oldqaeen, in that little room, and give stilltwo other combs containing only honey.The other brcoi eombu of the eolonjtranaf-rre- .! with the eld qaeen and beesia tnit room on yonr right h eloethe hive and then set "it oa the oldstand. After two or three days eoninemert of t.e new qaeen take oat the twocombs from tha little room at yonr lefthand, eat oat evfry qaeen cell, and setat liberty the new qaeen. Tne bees ofthis rittle colony will do her no harm.Frcn this time jon will have two qaeeaain one hive, and each qaeen will nil thecalls with eggs ia proportion to thenamber cf her worker-bee- s ia her room.After some days, at year leisare, yoamay hant oa5 the old qaeen in "thestr-- colony. This done, yoa wiicpen m passage of the division boardcut in it, and ciceeU before yoa Laveinjerted is. Hvirg opened the
the strcn colony w-- not baildqaeen cells, and so become aoaain'edwith eacn other. After one dav or twoyoa remove the division board, ill upISA pLice with a comb from the room atyear left hand, and yoa have safely andin the most proia'le way, a new qaeento a strong colony.
La the same way I havs described,yoa will divide a small colony eariv iatne fr.;j;, we will say at the close cfApril or at the beginning of May, as theweathr is favorable and the 'coloniesare safMcientiy strong. Give the Lttiecolony brood combs with sealed broodand egs and larv, and let it rear aqaeen. (To give is a qaeen cell woaldbe of great advantage.) Do tH earlythat yoa may have a fertile qae-- a iathat Ltsle colnv.
To make an artiicial swarn, proceedas follows: Hant oat the "qaeen cf theLtsle colony as sowa as she has la;d heriirst egys, cage her and bring her, withseme new brood-comb- in a new hiveof the same siie, remove the old stockfrom ita rUo and bring the new onewith the yoong qaeen on the Id stand.After two cr three days, ia the evening,releaae the ;oar g qaeen, and yoa widhaTe a strong iwa. The oid stockyoa may remove to any place yoa like.As the old colocy Laa a fertile qaeen itwill increase. Do not forget to give itseme water ia a spocg?, at the entrance,daring the first two or three days afteryoa hawe the artif --ial swarm. Corrt-p-j- r

The months cf the Mississippi arenow thrnst cat aboat sixty miles intothe Gall, and their pros-re- s eontinaesm eoBraeneB of certain laws which.Cap. ads declares to prevail. Heover-tarn- s the theory of tons thai theefcief portion cf the sedimentary nattertransjwrted by the river is pashed alonj'the bottom, and maintains that the sandand earthly matter cf tne river are ear-ned ia sriipension, and that the raagni-ra- d
of the harden thas carried ia pro- -Bcrtioneii to the veLoexty of the stream.A cap of the water dipped from. Sherarface, he claims, is AafScient proof cfthis fact, and i long as it moves on-
ward it ko!.is this matter in s aspersion,and jaat as the enrrent is slackened wlit drop the heavier particles, conveyingthe lighter ones siill farther. Accidentalcaaae may ahow that the water is some-times charged with a less cr greaterqaantity of sediment than is dae to agiveadep-th- and Telocity: bat evervAonarert exception to the Law thai allAilaviat streams earrv their sediment iaexart prorjorion to their velocity, mi--
thei by the de-pt?- . cf tee stream, can reesisily reconcile3. he says, with thelaw. It is this Iaw which givesthe stream the power to regaiatethe size ot ita ettannel to sait i?3owa wants Where it is still toosmall for the !?J the current is accel-erated, it seoars np a b'rger barde-- a

The bend caves in becanse sheriver channel above i too lar?e. Theslack carrenS has ia She meaatime beendepositing its excess cf laJ, foralis?sandbars ia .ood time. La the bendthe channel ia too contracted and t heearrent is there made fax rapid f or itaredated load, tnd it therefore seoars npthe def eiency cat cf the bottom andside cf tie bend, this action being re-versed ia low water. The wide-sho- al
places then cocstitn'e dams, over whichtiie redaced stream Sows with rncreaiiedenrrent, eaaa'ng channels to be ensdowa thraagh the bars and the matterscoured oat from thn is dep-osile- iathe enlarge! bends below. Hs appliesthis law to the adnace of ths socta-we-at
bar.Oa the bar the water is on aa average
fifteen feet deep, and thronghont t'aep. not less thai sixty feet ; and thebottom is therefore forty-fiv- e feet higheron the bar than is Ls at She foot of theps where natare has complete.! herjet:i s, between which the river Sows iaa rnagnircent channel cf almost cxifomwidth and great depth. Tne hill forty-- v
feet high begins to re jost wherethe banks of the pas begin to widenoni to the sea, and between thee twopoints the river bail-i- s ita jetties. Thehill sgiinst which the river is beatingchecks the velocity cf the stream whieiiis flowing down wish the of sedi-ment dae to its speed. Checking thevelocity means dropping the excess ofLoad. The carrent on the sides is moreslaffgish than ia the central chanxai,and nence they are gradaily bails cp sothe sarface, and the ecnttnial droppingcf sediment cn their margins grid nil! ynirros then ia nntd they become sosteep thas no more deposit will ress anonShen. When thas narrowed ia they arecompleted and are cf the width, cf thechannel above.
No let es note the effect npon tiebar of this baild Tg cp and narrowingia of these indpiens bnks. Tci bar isSo-d- ay aboct sewea and one-thir- d milesfrom where She moata cf the pas be-gins to widen. When Talcos sarveyedis ia 15ft thirty --sevea years sgo theb'kr was sevea and one-tni- ri miles frcnthe narrow of the pass, bat thepass has by shis narrowing, in pnoetsscf time, been gradaally concentrating amore rapid cxrrenS sga-n- st the bar, andthis incres.ed sconng power haa enton 5 the h ii on the npper side and trins-port- ed
the material over ita crest, anddropped it on the seaward side of it.
In proof cf the narrowing in cf thisnniniihed part of the paes, he refers soShe fact that five miles above she br ofTalcot, the puss is now only aboat L,6i0feet wide, whereas it was 2,S) feetwide whea Talcot sarveyed it. Colon!Long's map cf 1S.ST shows the width tohave been three- - eighths cf a mile greaterat Pilot Town, aboat six miles abovethe bar, than it is to-da- y. IS is evidentthat the r.ver is bailding at She sonth-we- st
pass parallel jetties afconS l,.oM)feet apart, and that it preserves a depthbetween then of at Least sixy feet cfwater. Is it not evident that the hill crbar is aa abeolate necessity ia thisEitarai jetty work, withcat which Sheriver eooid not throw down its sedimenton its t wo incipient jetties ? At Sherate She nver is bnilding at this pas, itwoald take 173 years to baild its jettissseven and one-thir- l miles, or fromwhere they ara completed oat So thecrest of She bar. If maa were to extendtwo artincial jetties oat saddeniy sevenand one-thi- rd miles between the presentnarrow termin as cf the tniahed jettiesand the crest cf She bar, and ef thssame width, say l,ljO feet, it is evidentthis sadden contraction cf the present10,000 feet of width over the bar woaldraise the water ia the pass momentarily,and greatly increase tne carrenS, givingit also a greatly increased carrying cror scocrirg power which woald rapidlycat down the hill between the artmnaijetties and thas lower the water above,diannisa this increased car-ren- t,
and finally, whea "the till was catthrong a, and sixty feet of depth scocredcat, we shoaid have at the end of thejetties a carrent alaiosS as great as thatnow ranning tevea and a half milesabove the bar, which carrent is aboatthirty per cent more rapid than thai atthe br. Tne permanent elevasioa oltne flood line as the epper end of thejetties woald by this sransfornasioascarcely amoanS So two inches, after Shebill or bar woald be eat wv.

Ey Shis process is woald seen shaS thebar woald reform, in the coarse of time,after the jetties are bails farther oct iathe galf, bnt CacC Eds meets thispoint also. We all, says he, know thasit now keeps tne respectfai distance cfseven and one third miles from wherethe natnral jetties are l,3o feet wxieand the channel sixty feet deep. Willany cse presame to say shat the bar willreform nearer than that distance fromaa oaslet of the same widshand depthand discharging the same vulame ofwater ? As she waser seven and one-thi- xd
