A Naturalist Discusses PecuIiaritfes o
the Dogs Tooth Violet.
Nature has curious and hidden way
in the vegetable as well rs in the ami
NAL world. For instance. that pretty
and very abundant spring flower o.
ours, the adder's tongue or dogs tooth
violet, presents a problem which have
not yet been able TO solve. This plant,
you know. is lily, and all the lilies,
90 far as know, have a bulb that sits
on top of the ground. The onion is a
fair type of the lily in this respect
But here is lily with bulb deep in
the ground. How does it get there
That is the problem.
The class book on botany says the
bulb is deep in the ground, but offers
no explanation. Now, it is only the
bulbs of the older or Towering plants
that are deep in the ground. The bulbs
of the young plants are near the top of
the ground. The young plants have
but one leaf, the older or Towering ones
have two If you happen to be in the
woods at the right time in early April
you may see these leaves compactly
rolled together, piercing the matted
coating of dry leaves that covers the
ground like some sharp pointed instru-
ment They do not burst their cover
ing or lift it up, but pierce through it
like an awl.
But how does the old bulb get so
deep into the ground7 In digging some
of them up in an old meadow bottom
had to cleave the tough. fibrous sod to
a depth of eight inches. Some smaller
ones were only two inches below the
surface. A friend of mine tells me he
has discovered how the thing is done
hope either to disprove or else to con-
firm his observation.
Tho field of natural history has been |
so closely cleaned, SO little remains to
be found out about the habits of our
familiar birds and flowers, that an un-
solved problem like this is something
to be priced. 1t is a pity that this
graceful flower has no good and ap-
propriate common name. 1t is the
earliest of the true lilies, and it has all
the grace and charm that belong to
this order of flowers Erythronium, its
botanical name, is not good, as it is de-
rived from a Greek word that means
red, while one species of our flower is
yellow and the other is white.
How 1t came to be called adder's
tongue do not know; probably from
the spotted character of the leaf, which
might suggest a snake, though it in no
wise resembles a snakes tongue. A
fawn is spotted, too, and ''fawn lily"
would be better than adder's tongue
The dogs tooth" may have been sug-
gested by the shape and color of the
bud, but how the ''violet" came to be
added is a puzzle, as it has not one feat
ure of the violet. It is only another
illustration of the haphazard way in
which our wild flowers as well as our
birds have been named.
In my solitary spring rambles I have
come upon solitary speci-
men of this yellow lily growing beside
a mossy stone where the sunshine fell
full upon it, and have thought it one of
the most beautiful of our wild flowers.
Its two leaves stand up like a fawn's
ears, and this feature, with its recurved
petals, gives it an alert, wide awake
ook. The white species have never

Aztees and Africans.

The present Mexican people are of
mixed ancestry-Spanish, Aztecs and the
Chichmecs tribes. The origin of the
Aztecs (Atzetics) is shrouded' in mys-
terry. All that is known of the people
is that they came from the north, and,
after wandering from place to place,
found, in 1925, the City of Tenochtit-
Ian, or Mexico. When Cortes invaded
Mexico, in 1919, the Aztec throne was
occupied by Montezuma. The subse-
quent history of Mexico is familiar to all
students.
The Africans belong to one of the
great divisions of the human family,
called by Doctor Latham Atlantide,
the Ethiopic of other ethnologists.
Originally all the nations inhabiting the
southern part of the globe, as known to
the ancients, or all men of dark brown
or black color were called Ethopians.
Later this name was given more par
ticularly to the inhabitants of the couu-
tries. south of Libya and Egypt, or the
Upper Nile-the present Nubia, SEN
naar, Kordofan and Abyssinia. The
accounts which the ancients have left
US with respect to this people are, even
where they are not of an entirely fabu-
lous nature, extremely scanty and IN
trustworthy.-Detroi Free Press.

them well with a potato masher; then

a few minutes longer. Place the meat
on a platter, pour the gravy through a
strainer over it and serve. y Washington

To each cupful thus prepared, allow a
large tablespoonful of good butter. Melt
the butter in tin pan, taking care that
there is no black adbering TO it that may
discolor Its contents. Stir che almonds
into the melted butter, coating them
well with 1t, and set the pan in moder-
ately hot oven, where the nuts will brown
in about ten minutes. Shake and stir
them often to prevent scolchlng.
When the almonds are a delicate, uni
form brown, take them out and drain off
all the butter that has not been absorbed.
Sift fine salt over them, and toss them
about in it until each one is we'll
powdered. Set them aside in a dry
place until perfectly cold. Before send
ing them to table the superfuous salt may
be removed by shaking them gently in a
colander.-C Courier Journal.
