cial depression or the thousand other
ills in the inauguration of the free

"Wc are opposed to the free and I'M

the result of such action would mean

People whose children we're in the

do not mind the sun. They play in it

botanists. the only study it has received

investigation OF a party Of explorers and
scientists sent by the Russian govern

some six new microscopic varieties, and
succeeded in finding the fruit Of two
varieties which botanists have long

ed to discover. When Mr.. Saunders
discoveries are thoroughly worked up
and his descriptions completed, they will
pretty well clear up the question of the
Brown sea weed. He brought home
beautiful specimens with him, many
single plants being so large that they
had to be cut into twenty or thirty
specimens to be mounted. He has also
several specimans Of that ocean plant
which sometimes grows to the length of
fourteen thousand feet.
Miss Edna Hyatt. who accompanied
Mr.. Saunders to make his microscopic
drawings will not return before October

Pacific Grove with a party OF ladies

San Diego and Los Angeles before her
return. Amid the destinations of a
California summer Miss Hyatt has
found time to do some exceedingly

a reputation in other universities than

New York, December 1o.-Tho brown
stone slab known as the George Washing
ton stone. fixed In the base of the pedestal
Of the statue of George Washington In
front Of the suhtreasury, is to be removed
to save it from destruction. This is the
stone upon which George Washing ton
stood when the took the oath OF office as
first president of the United States. 1t
was placed In the surface of the base of
the George Washington statue pedestal by
the chamber of commerce subscription
committee. which turned the statue over
to the government on November i, 1855.
The unveiiug of the statue took place
on the centennial anniversary Of the evac-
uation of New York 10y the British. The
stone, however, began to show the effects
OF weather last year and was covered by
a wire netting.
Assistant United States Treasurer Con-
rad Jordan saw that the stone was begin
ming to crumblo and reported tne faCt to
the Washington authorities.
Tho history OF the stone is brief. When
the Old Federal hall was torn down IT was
placed IN charge of the board OF ten gov
ernors predecessors of the commissioners
of charity and correction. The comm.s-
sioners kept the stone at Bellevue hospital
until 1t was turned over to the chamber
of commerce committee in 1883 for pre-
seutatlon TO the government with the
George Washington statue.
