Chief r. L. Stetson has designed novel
piece of fire apparatus, which was re-
centiy tested at fire headquarterss The
appliance is a combined hose wagon and
chemical engine The chemical tank Is
placed under the front seat, out Of harm 8

other workings and usages Of the hose
wagon. In going to a fire this piece Of
apparatus comprises all that would other

Some Forms of Fungi.

Scarcely day passes in which we do not
see some forms of fungi, SO common arc
they-inhabiting every nook and corner.
If we walk in the fields, the woods, even
in the dooryard, we SEQ the little white,
gray and brown umbrellas of the toad
stools and mushrooms, Going to the pre-
serve closet, we SEQ that on the tops Of
many of the bottles wllite growth has
formed. Our old shoes hidden away in the
dark have greenish dust upon them.
This is another fungus, and the mother
in vinegar claims cousinship with the
yeast which raises our bread The paste
pot is fecked with pink, green and gray
spots, all fungi. Some of the grain crops
are often subject to partial or complete de-
struction from different kinds of fungi
the smut of wheat apd corn, ergot Of
rye and others.
Silkworms are destroyed in vast mum
bers by mold. Its spores, entering theil
bodies, fill the whole interior and cause
death in from 20 to 140 hours. The hop
crop is often ruined by ''mildew. Ono
strange fungus attacks kind of caterpil.

Chateaubriand and Bonaparte.

In February, 1911, Chateaubriand was
chosen to fill q seat in the French academy,
which was compliment to, man of AZ.
Is not go the age at which the distin-
guished French man Of lettors usually re-
ceives this prize? Whether at 40 or 60 it is
always welcome. There are French writ
ers, it is said, who do not wish to be aca-
demicians just as there are Englishmen
who do not admire Shakespeare-super
humanly clever persons no doubt, but a
little out OF the natural order.
Napoleon, who at this time was perhaps
not unkindly disposed to Chateaubriand,
was anxious to SEQ what the new acade-
mician would say on his reception and or
dered the manuscript to be submitted to
him. 1t contained things of which the
emperor disapproved, and he returned it
with many alterations and erasuros There
was, of course, an imperial explosion of
anger--one of those vulgar displays which
made Talleyrand deplore that SO great q
man should have been SO very i'll bred.
But Chateaubriand was firm and would
not sanction the alteration Of word, In
consequence of which his reception by the
academy was delayed until Napoleon had
ceased to control the destinies of France.
Chateaubriand's envenomed pamphlet
on "Bonaparte and the Bourbons" was
published in 1841 and did more than any
other piece of writing to bring about u
change of rulers. The significance Of this
deadly blow was clear enough to the en-.
peror himself, who read the pamphlet at
Fontainebleau. Indeed Louis XVIII, OF
his accession, admitted that ChateauBriand
was the real king maker in this affair,
and such an admission may be held to alb.
solve king from the simple duty of graf.

Il Is rclntod that an enthusiastic admirer
Of Fanny Kemblc, whose full name was
Frances Anne, once decided to namo q lit
tie daughter for that distinguished lady.
Unfortunately, she disliked the namo of
Frances only a little less than that Of
Anne while Fanny struck her as too TIM
dignilied 10 replace tho fuller form. After
much thought the child was named, and
named, her mother declared, for tho person
she had originally desired to honor in that
way. But the baby was chris;cncd Fran
ciola Annetta, and it is at least doubtful II
Mrs. Kemble would have recognized her
namesake.
A much funnier, and entirely authentic,
case was that of the little black baby in
Washington which the mother, a respecta-
BILE colored woman, asked leave TO name
for Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford. Mrs
SpofIord chccrfully granted the permis-
sion, but when, some weeks later, she
went TO call on the infant, she was greatly
surprised to hear it addressed by its fond
parent as Geneviove.
"Why, how is this?' she asked. 81
thought the baby was to be named Harriet
for me?"
Mrs. Spoffords friends, as it chanced,
had often remarked that her Christian
name was not suited to her; it was too
chilly, too prim, too conventional name.
Therefore her amusement was all the
greater when the smiling mother replied
at once, trifle apologotic, yet quite conf
dent the correctness of her course would
be manifest on considerations;
"Oh, yes, Mis- Pofflt-but then Gene

TO AN OLD VIOLIN.

Could 1t but speak, what strange and moving
stories,
What tales Of Joy and grief, it would unfold,
Of faded beauty and forgotten glories,
OF love and sorrow in the days of old
Perchance it played tho grave and stately
measure
While powdered couples trod the minuet;
Perhaps it was beggar's only pleasure
Or helped prince his trouble to forget.
All, violin, wedream and wonder vaiplya
Time with, the sweet June roses never stays.
The past is dead. We cannot learn moreplainly
The buried history Of forgotten days.
Yet. as u faint and odorous sweetness Fingers
With faded petals, though their bloom be fled,
So, charmed anew Sy sympathetic fingers,
Yon bring IA haunting memory of'the dead.
So, as Of old, you speak In tenderest fashion,
Mellow with memories of unseen years,
To raise our minds from worldlycareandpa pas
sion
And stir the thoughts that lie so CLOSE to
tears.
