By the time this note is read “MG’s on The Rocks” will be over, it will be time for our fall rally, and we’ll be making preparations for the winter months. As I look back on the Summer I cannot help to think that we are a blessed group - to be able to afford our toys and have time to enjoy them. My understand- ing of our good fortune was put into perspective at our September meeting when we had an open discussion on Hurricane Katrina and the citizens of New Orleans. Although, as individuals, many of us have already made contributions, everyone present also felt that the club should look for a way to con- tribute. The discussion provided many suggestions and the Board will meet in October to select one or more. LANCO MG is not a large organi- zation and our pockets are not deep. With the rainout at “A Taste of Britain” this year we will probably dip into our savings a little more than in the past. But in the larger scheme of things a few less dollars in the treasury is nothing compared to the cost of rebuilding lives, families, and communities in the storm area. I’m proud to be associated with a group of people that understands this. Thank you to everyone who took part in the meeting and discussion and thank you to those who did not attend but called me prior to express concern on the subject. This will be my last note in the LANCO “MailGram”. All efforts to find an editor have been exhausted and after this issue we will be relying on other means to communicate to the membership. To Dennis and Jeff, no words can express the thanks the club owes you for your dedication to upgrading, then sustaining, a high quality newsletter for the past five plus years. I know how hard it is for me to get my few articles done so I can’t imagine how much time you two have spent over the years. I understand there will be a big celebration when this is over so enjoy yourselves and I’ll see you down the road. One final note, Internet access is not mandatory for club membership but it is necessary to get the full benefit of our new club structure. If you do not have it please considering obtaining a service 1 or access through a friend or family. FROM THE EDITOR Hello, all. As you will read elsewhere in this issue, this IS the last LANCO MG “MailGram” to be published in this format. As we have said several times during the past year, I have been editor for five years and Jeff Rutt has been putting together the layouts for more than eight years and it is time for both of us to move on. Having done this for those many years gives me a great appreciation for our club founder, Gloria, for putting out the newsletter for seventeen years! I’d like to thank those that have helped make the “MailGram” what it was during that time: our regular contributors including Joan Martin, Sally Harbold, Andy Schneggenburger, Carol Tucker, Laura Donecker, Bruce Bubeck, Charlie Baldwin, Sue Hurley, Stan Carpenter, and Eric Salminen, just to name a few. Extra thanks go to Jack Butler for his MGA columns and Alan Tucker for his invaluable “Tuck’s Tips”. Unbounded special thanks go to Jeff for his “nothing less than perfect” layout work – it wouldn’t have been anything like this without it -, my wife and best bud, Carol, for her help as proofread- er, mailing crew, and her patience for planning and rescheduling family outings and vaca- tions to avoid “newsletter months”, and to the board members for giving us the latitude (and money!) to publish what we wanted. And of course, it would have all meant nothing without you, our readers. See you down the road…..Dennis LANCO MAILGRAM LANCO Club Picnic.

My ancestors migrated from England in the reign of Charles II.; and my grandfather was not undistinguished in the War of Independence. My family, therefore, en­ joyed a somewhat high social position in right of birth; and being also opulent, they were considered disqualified for the public service. My father once ran for Congress, but was signally defeated by his tailor. After that event he interfered little in politic*, and lived much in his library. I was the eldest of three sons, and sent at the age of sixteen to the old country, partly to complete my literary education, partly o commence my commercial training in a mercantile firm a Liverpool. My father died shortly after I was twenty-one; and being left well off, and having a taste for travel and adventure, I re­ signed, for a time, all pursuit of the almighty dollar, and became a desultory wanderer over the face of the earth.

    CORNELL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ' NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE EVERETT FRANKLIN PHILLIPS BEEKEEPING LIBRARY Cornell University Library The original of tinis book is in tine Cornell University Library. There are no known copyright restrictions in the United States on the use of the text. http://www.archive.org/details/cu31924003422056 THE HANDY BOOK OP BEES A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THEIR PROFITABLE MANAGEMENT A. PETTIGEEW WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND. LONDON PEEFACE. Dr M'Kenzie, in a small book on bees, says he was induced to study the subject from the fact that one of his two labouring men having found a swarm of bees in a hedge, and therewith commenced bee-keep- ing, was enabled afterwards to go without his wages till they were earned. Previously, both labourers got their wages in advance. The lift given to the one man by the possession of this fugitive swarm was so great and pleasing to the Doctor, that he com- menced to read works on bees, and study their management both in this country and on the Con- tinent. By -and -by a small fourpenny book on the subject fell from his pen, which received no patronage. This little incident is mentioned to show what a swarm or two of bees may do for a poor labourer. Indeed, if there is anything more profitable to cottagers living in the country or on the skirts of towns, than a few swarms of bees, and can be more easily managed by them, all we can say is, we have never seen that thing, or known what it is.

  • "It Was a Dark and Stormy Night; the Rain Fell in Torrents--Except At
    "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness." --Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830) An international literary parody contest, the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest honors the memory of Victorian novelist Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873). The goal of the contest is simple: entrants are challenged to submit bad opening sentences to imaginary novels. Although best known for The Last Days of Pompeii (1834), which has been made into a movie three times and originated the expression "the pen is mightier than the sword," and phrases like "the almighty dollar," Bulwer-Lytton opened his novel Paul Clifford (1830) with the immortal words that the Peanuts beagle Snoopy plagiarized for years, "It was a dark and stormy night." Recent Winning Entries Winner: Grand Prize "Hmm . ." thought Abigail as she gazed languidly from the veranda past the bright white patio to the cerulean sea beyond, where dolphins played and seagulls sang, where splashing surf sounded like the tintinnabulation of a thousand tiny bells, where great gray whales bellowed and the sunlight sparkled off the myriad of sequins on the flyfish's bow ties, "time to get my meds checked." Winner: Adventure Leopold looked up at the arrow piercing the skin of the dirigible with a sort of wondrous dismay -- the wheezy shriek was just the sort of sound he always imagined a baby moose being beaten with a pair of accordions might make.

Vril is the soul of the universe. 4 Nothing on earth can be compared with it. 5 The vril of the “Coming Race” was once the common property of races now extinct. 5 Its Atlantean name was Mash-Mak. But its Aryan name is being withheld. 6 Why the true nature of this mighty force is and will remain a secret? Because it might be used to kill, to alter, to move, or otherwise change any object or condition. 7 When man understands the laws and centres of force in himself, he can make visible and material what was before invisible and ideal — at will. 7 That is why the real secrets of nature will not be revealed to the profane. 7 For the destructive power of vril is not altogether a fiction. 8 Its power can destroy in one moment whole armies. 8 A certain timepiece on the ethereal waves mentions the instantaneous destruction of 2,000,000 soldiers in the field. 9 Bovril is a beef extract, boasting of imaginary benefits.

  • Or S, and Politicians Theques for an Anglo- American Copyright Agreement 1815­
    or s, and Politicians TheQues for an Anglo- American Copyright Agreement 1815­ by James J. Barnes Authors, Publishers and Politicians The quest for an Anglo-American copyright agreement was repeatedly thwarted through­ out most of the nineteenth century, due to the effect of lobbyists and influence-peddlars on the American Congress. This meant that in the United States the question of international copyright was not decided on its own merits but rather by pressure groups who wielded great financial and private power upon the legislators. The opposite was true in Great Britain, where Parliament was far more interested in the rights of authors and publishers and had already passed a number of statutes promoting international copyright. Copyright agree­ ments, however, needed to be mutually agreed upon by both countries, and the United States would not reciprocate. In desperation, a group of British authors and publishers decided to play the game of politics American-style, and with great caution they raised enough money to defray the expenses of a secret lobby in Washington. A copyright treaty was duly signed by the Secretary of State and all that was required was Senate approval. Authors, Publishers and Politicians describes these efforts to secure an Anglo-American copyright agreement. It explores the under­ lying causes of the failure of this quest, a failure which enabled literary pirates on both sides of the Atlantic to continue operations for a further forty years. It traces the effects this had on the writers and producers of books as well as their reading public. Few aspects of Anglo-American relations were untouched by the drama presented in this study.

  • The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations
    The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations Preface What is a “quotation”? It is a saying or piece of writing that strikes people as so true or memorable that they quote it (or allude to it) in speech or writing. Often they will quote it directly, introducing it with a phrase like “As——says” but equally often they will assume that the reader or listener already knows the quotation, and they will simply allude to it without mentioning its source (as in the headline “A rosè is a rosè is a rosè,” referring obliquely to a line by Gertrude Stein). This dictionary has been compiled from extensive evidence of the quotations that are actually used in this way. The dictionary includes the commonest quotations which were found in a collection of more than 200,000 citations assembled by combing books, magazines, and newspapers. For example, our collections contained more than thirty examples each for Edward Heath’s “unacceptable face of capitalism” and Marshal McLuhan’s “The medium is the message,” so both these quotations had to be included. As a result, this book is not—like many quotations dictionaries—a subjective anthology of the editor’s favourite quotations, but an objective selection of the quotations which are most widely known and used. Popularity and familiarity are the main criteria for inclusion, although no reader is likely to be familiar with all the quotations in this dictionary. The book can be used for reference or for browsing: to trace the source of a particular quotation or to find an appropriate saying for a special need.

  • The Pen Is Mightier Than the Swo Word Can Disseminate Words to Chang
    This Presentation was presented aloud and in-person by Frater James A. Marples, VIIIº... to the Iowa College SRICF meeting and after the initiation of their 4 new candidates at the DesMoines, Iowa Scottish Rite Center on 19 July 2014. This presentation was done on behalf NEBRASKA S.R.I.C.F. {since Iowa College had no paper that day}. The Fraters in Iowa extended their gratitude to Nebraska College SRICF. Sir Bulwer-Lytto n: A Masonic Rosicrucian who still inspires our world today by Frater James A. Marples, VIIIº Life Member, Nebraska College S.R.I.C.F Recently, I purchased a pair of two old books published in one volume. They were: "A Strange Story" and "Zanoni" by Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton. He was born in 1803 and died in 1873. "Zanoni" was written in 1842. The combined volume which I purchased was printed in 1884, so it is one of the older hardback books that I own. In researching the life of Sir Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton, I was amazed to learn that he was a man of diverse interests and talents. Further, that he coined so many phrases that remain in our lexicon; and they still inspire us today. Examples of these are the phrases: • "Almighty Dollar" . {Meaning that the unbridled quest for earning money or unvarnished Greed made the dollar regarded almost as being akin to a deity}. • "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword" . {Meaning the power of the written word can disseminate words to change minds, influence governmental policies, and essentially communicate ideas on such a widespread basis that is more Page 1 of 10 www.masonic.benemerito.net/msricf forceful that any sword or weapon in a temporary conflict." {The written word can endure for generations...long after a warrior is dead and buried}.

Lytton weaves a love story of the first degreeBy dosbornThis is a classic from Lord Bulwer Lytton, a story of the mysteries of the spirit that are known to the souls who remain dedicated to the search Divine. In previous editions the sub title of this book was "A Rosicrucian's Tale". Lytton weaves a love story of the first degree, encompassing both the temporal and the eternal. It is my all time favorite book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy Roy BattyNot into the meat of it yet but it's very formal and well written... Zanoni is an 1842 novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a story of love and occult aspiration. By way of introduction, the author confesses: "...It so chanced that some years ago, in my younger days, whether of authorship or life, I felt the desire to make myself acquainted with the true origins and tenets of the singular sect known by the name of Rosicrucians." A manuscript came into his hands written in the most unintelligible cipher, a manuscript which through the author's own interpretation became Zanoni.
