George Sand and Her Early Life in Two Parts
George Sand is examined in two parts by M Leopold Katseher in the International Review July issue. The article traces her youth, from idolizing Corambe to forming a personal religion, and her later Paris move with Jules Sandeau. It notes her economizing measures, dressing as a boy to access theatres and libraries, and her solo writing of Indriana after a failed collaboration. It mentions Lelia and the controversial, prophetic tone of her early work and its reception in France.

Result of Huber's Experiment with Bees
Huber concludes his bee wax study shows wax derives from honey and that honey is essential for bees. Flowers do not always contain honey, and abundance days are rare in our climate. Wax production relies on the saccharine part of honey. Raw sugar yields more wax than honey or refined sugar. Dust from stamina does not provide wax and is not food for adult bees. The text also explains sweet-mash versus sour-mash bourbon production and methods of fermentation and distillation.
