Institute.
There we're plenty of vacant seats in
the class room on the second floor of
the high school building in which the
X. 5. l. held its meeting last night.
The regular business WAS soon disposed
of, and the paper Of the evening Was
read. Is WAS : report of Mics Emily
Cole on her work in the heEbsrium Of
the inatltute. Miss Cole has done some
hard work In classifying and arranging
the material of the institute in such =
manner that it Will be OF practical use
TO the members and 70 the pupils IN the
schools.
The herbarium Was founded some
years ago by Miss Marion Hosford who
donated $500 specimens OF eastern
plants to the Kent Scientific Institute.
Last year the board of education pro-
vided the cases for the collection, and
the clAsees in botany have interested
themselves in collecting. and have
added many local plants 70 the collec-
ton. The cases have been utilized and
the plants are now all arranged on
shelves which are labeled with the Or
der Of plants. Each genus is placed
IN . separate cover. and labeled. There
are now ninety-eight orders repre-
sented in the collection. In the report
Mics Cole gave an explanation OF the
process of preserving plants. After
they are properly preserved and dried
they are soaked in . solution Of alco-
hol and corrosive sublimate. to keep
OF the insects. The collection now
contains twenty-six species Of orchids
and forty of ferns.

fortune he afterwards amassed.
He was not popularity accredited
with having . spirit Of philanthropy.
His ambition was solely to gain riches.
In gratifying that ambition he had the
peculiar foresight which measures the
promising present by the probabilities
Of the future and which seldom errs.
Jay Gould never figured in financial
