How to Propagate the Gladiolu..


How to Propagate the Gladiolus.
A correspondent in The Florists Ex-
change says.
The proper and only way to increase
any desired variety Of gladiolus is by the
bulblets. These should be kept in moist
earth during winter and sown in any
well prepared ground in spring, the same
as peas. 1t would be as good If not a
better plan to SOW as soon as the bulbs
are taken up in autumn, and protect
against hard frost by some convenient
mulching, newly fallen leaves being best;
these put on the bed to the depth Of three
inches and kept in place by brush or
pieces of board viii be amply sufficient.
The common assertion that the bulblets
when kept for two years will do better
than if planted the first year is mis-
take. It is true the bulblets will grow
if kept dry for two years, and it is also
true if kept dry they will endure without
injury 10 or 20 degrees Of frost; at the
same time much larger proportion will
terminate and make more vigorous
growth if they are not allowed to become
perfectly dry.

A Night at the Circus.

There is a strong flavor of peanuts,
pop corn, red lemonade and sawdust all
mixed up in the three acts of "a Night
at the Circus" in which Nellie McHenry
will be seen at Portland Theatre, Friday
and Saturday. The play is out Of the
run of farce-comedies from the fact that
it treats of an entirely different subject
from any yet touched upon by the writ
ers Of farce-comedy skits, and so prolific
has the subject proven that no one of the
laughter-producing plays of its kind is
said to equal it in the amount of uproari-
GUS hilarity contained in its three acts.
That the play has proven success is
owing In great measure to the clever
mannerin which the peerless coincidence
Nellie MoHenry, has handled the dua
role of the circus rider and her twin sis
tor, most demure governess. The en-
tire play deals with circus life. The last
act shows the circus tent itself, and is
series of absurd complications that are
convulsing in their conception. Of course
SAAO SohoIdl HSuf6 III INTEREST is M ellie
McHenry, but she is ably assisted by
most capable company of comedians, and
the entire production is said to be of the
very highest order of farce-comedy work.

Workers at the Lick Observatory.

LCalifornia Letter in New York Post
The observatory ought to have suffi-
Gent ssgeueral fund.- to allow the num-
Der Of workers and students in the little
mountain colony to be quadrupled.
Greenwich has 20 observers and Harvard
40, while Lick observatory has only six.
But one soon feels the faithfulness and
the white heat of enthusiasm OF these
lonely mountain jewellers. They sit all
night long at their instruments and often
work half the day besides. They toll on
without pausing except for their meals,
exercise and few hours sleep. living
like soldiers at the front. They ought to
be perfectly happy and live the ideal life,
away up on the mountain, with the stars
for companions. Still / doubt not they
are sometimes nervous and very tired,
and the feelings of an average mortal
must be reckoned with, in their micro
cosm of world, aswell as in the hurly-
burly far below. No matter, it is won
derful place, where each one of these
pale watchers has SO often, like Shell
ley's witch of Atlas
Shooting forth under the light
OF shooting stars, ana babe extend amain
His strong outspreading wings.
The Lick observatory, as part of the
university of California, is open to all
students. Undergraduates visit it, Sen
ior students from all the California in
situations of learning have special nights.
Graduate students are received for a
three years course as candidates for the
degree of doctor of philosophy Others
take special courses for which there is
an increasing demand that cannot be
met until moro complete arrangements
are made for their board and lodging.
An oak covered plateau several hundred
feet below the observatory offers a fine
site for hotel, domitories, cottages, and
any other needed structures.
In the words of the director. tThere is
a special impetus to be gained in an OBJ
servatory which is regularly pursuing
work OF discovery and research. The
student comes directly into the current,
and learns far more by observations of
the methods of others than by the study
of textbooks. He can take his part in
the regular work of the astronomers
also. 1t should be our care that no stu
dent is obliged to leave California to OBJ
tain instruction that can be given here"
From every standpoint the university
and the observatory gain immensely
from the close connection and Lick
built far better than he knew when he
named the state university as trustee of
his gift Applications to study at the
observatory are coming from many per-
sons who are teachers of astronomy in
other colleges, and are able to do more
or less original work. Such students are
invaluable assistants while pursuing
their studies. ~

THE Oracle D. BUCHANAN.
She Arrives in Portland After Delay of
Months-The Captain Expects To Be
Greeted by His Young Wife, But Instead
Receives the News of Her Death.

On the 18th day of last February the
fine four fnasted schooner Oracle D. Bu-
chanan, of New York. Capt J. r. Har-
rington. was approaching the coast of
Maine with a cargo of coal, which she
was bringing from Baltimore to the
Maine Central at Portland. The wealth
er was heavy, but the captain held his
course. On the next day, the 10Th of
February, Captain Harrington was in
sight of the lights of Boon and Thatch-
er's Islands, but the gale was by this
time tremendous, and nothing was left
but to run before it. The air was filled
with snow, and the tremendous seas
washed everything movable away. The
next ten days was a most horrible peri
cd. On the DIST the rigging was so iced
as to be unmanageable, on the Esd the yes
sci had listed so that fifty tons of coal
had to be thrown overheard, and on the
same day all hands were ordered to the
pumps in the midst of a hurricane that
swept the decks from stem to stern with
huge waves. On March 1st German
bark was sighted and gave them a bushel
of peas.
Finally, about the middle of March the
vessel arrived at st. Thomas, where she
sailed for Portland after .reftting..
Captain Harrington expected to meet
his young wife here, but instead he was
met by the sad news of her death on
April 18th.

A Late Season.

In the United States court room, ras
terday some valuable statistics were
given as to the forwardness of the nlant-
ing season this year as compared with
last. Several jurors wanted to be excused
on the ground that they were farmers
and must be at home to put in the crops
Judge Webb asked them how much of
their planting they had done, and each
said he had planted nothing beside few
peas. Last year at this time they were
all through.
