Mais il est seulement nécessaire d'ouvrir un livre imprimé, même un roman, datant de 70 ans ou plus pour apprécier les changements physiques extraordinaires de conditions. La plupart des histoires de Dickens, par exemple,

. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. Vol. LVll.—No. 1 HAMILTON, ILL., JANUARY, 1917, MONTHLY, $1.00 A YEAR SEVENTY YEARS OF BEEKEEPING The First of a Series of Articles By the Editor, Reviewing the Development of Beekeeping Since 1845 To go back 70 years and view the scientific and physical world progress accomplished since then means probably more than any of us can realize at first thought. But it is only necessary to open any printed book, even a novel, dating back 70 years or more to appreciate the extra- ordinary physical change of conditions. Most of Dickens' stories, for instance, were written less than 80 years ago, but his characters traveled only in such conveyances as the post-chaise and the coach. Railroads came later. He knew nothing of telegrams, telephones, elec- tric lights, bicycles, automobiles or aeroplanes. The sea traffic was so slow that it took from one to three months to carry the news of a battle from one hemisphere to the other. Kerosene oil was unknown, and house lights de- pended upon wax, lard oil or tallow dips. The postal systems were crude and clumsy until postal stamps were used, and this did not happen in Eng- land until 1840, and in this country until 1847, less than 70 years ago. In addition to the delay to get news from Europe, a letter crossing the ocean re- quired 64 cents of postage. The Inter- national Postal Union was not created until 1874. The first successful trans- atlantic cable was not laid until 186(5. Seventy years ago we had no steam plows, no steam engines in fact, ex- cept very crude ones, no harvesting machines, no sewing machines, no type-writers. Steam-heated houses did not exist and bath tubs were luxuries found only in palaces or special houses. No automobiles ran on the then muddv roads of Europe. Tha inventors of fly- ing machines were laughed to scorn in their unsuccessful attempts and threat- ened with the insane asylum for reward of their genius. One of the rare indus- tries in which the conditio
