The Study of Botany.

How to study botany with summer
of leisure and microscope fOrapparatus
is question that admits of various an
swers. Much depends upon the stand
point from which one approaches the sub
ject. The generally received opinion OF
this study is about as wide OF the mark
as we'll can be. To many people it con-
sists simply in finding Latin names for
flowers; these flowers having common
names which are far more fitting, more
poetical and in every way more satisfac-
tory than the stiff and meaningless Latin
terms. Others are a little in advance of
this, and consider the work of examining
such delicate, graceful material eminent
ly suited to the feminine mind; for this
class even the long Latin names have no
terrOrs; they are looked at in thelight OF
ballast to prevent too much levity in the
pursuit of knowledge. The manner of
teaching botany in this country seems to
have been such as to Sail entirely in max
ing clear the elementary principles OF the
science. For example, the flower is sup

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness = Hay Fever a
New Home Treatment

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, orthat they
are due to the presence of living para
sites in the lining membrane of the nose
and eustachian tubes. Microscopic re-
search, however, has proved this to be
fact. and the result of this discovery is
that a simple remedy has been formula
ted whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications
made at home by the patient once in
Wo weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff
or an ointment; both have been discard
ed by reputable physicians as injurious.
A pamphlet explaining this new treat
ment is sent on receipt of three cents in
stamps to pay postage by A. H. Dixon
& Son, 337 and 339 West King Street,
Toronto, Canada.-Christian Advocate.
Sufferers from Catarrh troubles should

Evergreen Vines.


My attention has been called to the
subject of evergreen vines for fat-woods'
homes in Florida by an inquiry OF Mrs.
Mills, of st. Thomas, Fla. 1t is not SO
hard to find the evergreen as the one that
willendure the peculiar conditions of that
kind of soil. 1t is quite certain that heat
and drouth do not njure plants in the
low lands as in the sandy soil of the high
pine regions. 1t is close and retentive,
and the water is so near the roots OF
the plants set in them, that they areflour
but irrigation can save them. The
trouble comes when the rains are frequent
and water stands every where it has not
been drained Ditching and drainage
of broken bricks, rocks, crockery, terra
Gotta, etc., can do wonderful things in
such situations. 1t is a great deal OF
troublet to arrange, but when done is last
ing, and well repays the diligent worker.
| know by actual observation that the
dweller in the fiat-woods can, by doing
this, have the finest flowers to be
found in any section where there is usu-
ally no means Of irrigation.
The Honeysuckles are evergreen and
bloom at intervals through the season.
We have no cold that will kill their foil
age. [ have seen a house completely COW
cred with evergreen honeysuckle in lati-
tude $50, where the winters are quite Sc
we're sometimes.
The Conch bean was not killed here by
last springs severe cold. 1t is a coarse
but most rapid climber with abundant
foliage.
English Ivy fairly riots over the north
side of my house, and has climbed on top
the house, the summer sun did not
seem to hurt it. 1t will also endure your
damp soil quite we'll, and no danger Of
being winter killed in Florida.
The Ipomea blooms we'll through our
winters. The l. Michauxii has by far the
handsomest foliage and grows very rap
idly. They are all natives of the rich, wet
soils of our hammOcks and love mOis-
ture. There are many other evergreen
vines that could be taught to make our
homes ching of beauty and Joy for
ever" OF which | have not time at pres

their development from spore to spore.
In order to study the higher forms sue
cessfully, sections must be made through
certain parts OF the plant and this is
work that requires the aid of teacher.
Among the Alg@ many low forms may
easily be obtained in the summer time
from running streams or stagnant water,
or even bitches or cutters. At the bot
tom of running streams bright green
forms are found, sometimes floating and
sometimes growing fast to stones or
other surfaces. These should be mount
ed in a drop of clear water and cover
glass added. They willconsist, probably,
of little chains OF cells, sometimes OF sin
gle cells, and if studied with the objective
| used before, will form the material for the
study of the plant cell in a more typical
| form than the cells of the Mucor; the
walls are usually clear and distinct. Ii
little sweetened water be added to the
slide, so that it touches the cover glass,
| q process known as plasmOlysis occurs.
| This consists in the contents drawing
back from the wall in such q manner as
to allow it to show clear and distinct.
On stagnant water, the green scum
commonly known as frogs spittle will
yield q rich fund of material for similar
study These forms are so numerous as
to render it impossible to predict what

ual on "Fresh-Water Algm," by DR..
Wolfe, which, if obtained, will help the
student to distinguish and classify these
forms.
These two classes will serve to give a
little acquaintance with two large groups
of vegetable life; namely fungi and alg9.
The higher forms belonging to these
! groups, such as mushrooms, puffballs,
and sea- weeds, are more complex in
structure, and, therefore more difficult to
study. Next above these come the MOSES
and hepatics. For the study of MOSES
the material may be found in almost any
country place; even in the city streets,
along the edges of the stone walks, may
be found the delicate green of the moss
protonema. 1t is exceedingly difficult,
within the limits of so brief paper, to
give any definite instruction regarding
the treatment of this interesting class of
plants They are easy'to classify, and
this kind OF work is often taken up by
specialists in other branches of study. In
order, however, to carry on this work,
one must be provided with a manual and
must precede it's use with a careful study
of those characteristics on which their
classification is based.
With the hepatics the case is very diff
ferent; they are quite fastidious in their
tastes, choosing only certain localities
for their residence, and with no apparent
reason for their preference. If fortunate
enough to find their hiding-places, one
may obtain employment for some time.
Those known as thalloids are apt to grow
on old stone walls in moist and shady
places. They are often found on the
ground, but are less CONSPICUOUS and like
ly to be overlooked. The Marchantia is
the most common form, and If found in
fruit, as the saying is, will prove curl

can be obtained they may be studied and

Those persons who so magnanimously
admit the fitness of the subject for the
feminine mind would be somewhat start
led if told that tolerably thorough
knowledge of chemistry, physics, and
mathematics is necessary to an intelli-
gent, or perhaps a scientific study of
plant, and that in the thorough study of
the life processes of plants are found
some of the most difficult problems of
scientific research.
Although we claim this to be true, there
is perhaps no other branch of natural
science which is so easy of access and so
full of resources for amateur study. The
material for work is obtainable at every
season of the year, in every climate, and
in city as we'll as country. And while
philosophic knowledge of the subject re-
quires much preparation, yet asuperfcial
acquaintance with many interesting
forms may be easily obtained by an ear
nest student with little apparatus and no
teacher. And though the different class
than those of the animal kingdom, there
is still SO much variety as to leave room
for choice in determining what line of
work to take up.
| A brief survey of those forms most east
ly studied without the help of a teacher
or convenient library may be given as
| follows: OF the plants known as Fungi
an interesting and easily obtained exam
| pie is that of the common mold. TO OBJ
tain this material, all that is necessary is
a piece of ordinary bread wet in cold wa
ter and placed under a bell jar; this, if
| kept at the ordinary temperature of the
room, will in a few days appear covered
with white, flmy substance; after lit
tie time, dark, bodies appear scattered
over the film. These are the spOrangia
or spOre cases these cases, If removed
carefully with pin from the surface of
| the bread and sOwn in a preparation
| known as Pasteur's fluid, may be easily
cultivated, and the whole life history of
the little plant studied under the micro
scope. To SOW these spores, take an Ordi-
binary glass slide, put a drop of the fluid
in the centre, and carefully shake the
spOrangia over it. Care must be taken
lest too many of the little spores aresown
and not room enough left to watch the
| growing plant. The Pasteur's fluid may
| be obtained at any CHEMISTS. Ii this is
notconvenient, little liquid from canned
plums may be used instead. After SOW
ing the slide should be placed in wet
| chamber, which may be easily construct
ed by using soup plate and a cheese
| cover; little water in the plate, to fur
nish moisture to the chamber, and rest
for the slide, will make the apparatus
complete The second day after sowing,
| the slide should be examined under the
microscope with a power equal to a one
| fifth objective. No cover glass should be
used, and therefore care should be taken
not to push the lens down into the mate
rial. A little practice will render this
easy. The termination of the spore may
take place the second day; at least it
should be watched from this time on, it's
development noted, and finally the ap-
pearance of the little case full of spores
will completethe circuit. This same piece

Salisbury to Blaine.

LONDON, August 16.-Lord Sails
bury's last dispatch to Secretary
Blaine, with reference to Behring sea
bears date of August 2. After quot
ing from historical documents and
dispatches, it concludes. Tthese
words: show that England refused
to admit anypart of Russia's claim,
asserted in It's ukase of 1921, to ma
rine jurisdiction and exclusive
right of fishing throughout the
whole extent of that claim, from
Behring straits to the fifty-first par
allel. Although the convention
of 1926 was regarded by both sides as
a remuneration on the part of Russia
in its entirety and that though Ben
ring straits was known and specially
provided for, Behring sea was not
known by that name but was regard
ed as part of the Pacific ocean, and
her majesty's government always
claimed the freedom of navigation
and fishing in Behring sea outside of
a marine league from the coast.
