Saints and Plants.

With Biblo names we may connect the
saints whose names have been given to
plants from very early times. In 1891 John
Bauhin published n little book, "De
Plants n Divis Sanctisque Nomen Haben-
THUS, In which he collected from differ
ent authors all plants which had boon so
named. st. Peter, st. John and tho blessed
Virgin Mary havo, rs might be supposed,
by far the greater number, but IT Is rather
startling to find special place Of honor In
such list given to tobacco. But SO 1t is.
By five different authors mentioned by
Bauhin it Is named, not, indeed, after
any particular saint, but, rs If it wero q
specially holy plant, "herba sancta sana,
nicotiana sive tabacum." That IL should
have had such honor paid TO 1t on tho con-
tinent Is more remarkable when we re-
member that Shakespeare, writing at tho
same time and with tho keencst eyo to
everything about him, never once men,
tions the plant or makes the slightest ref
erencc to it.
After Bauhin's time there seems to
have been no book specially devoted to
sanity plant names till 1928, when there
appeared a remarkable book, 1.-The Circlo
of the Seasons, by Thomas Forster q
very clover man, but ono of the most sue
cessful literary impostors of the century.
He allotted n saint to every day in the
year and almost flower to every saint
and supported his statements by quota
lions from poems of an antique character
and by references TO work called can
thologia Borcalis ct Australis," which,
without any suspicion, was freely quoted
by Hone and then by tho Rev. +. Oakelcy,
in very pretty little book, Tho Catholic
Florist" But no one could find the can
thologia" or the poems so freely quoted,
and il was not until Forster was almost on
his deathbed that it was discovered that
no such book or poetry existed, except in
his own manuscript Since thnt time
many books have been written, attribut-
ing different flowers to the saints, some of
which rest on good authority, but the
number Of English flowers with sanity
names is not large.-QuarterIy Review

Wire Finer Than Your Hair

The very finest wire made in this coun-
try comes from a wire mandatory at
Taunton, Mass. This metal cobweb of
minute diameter is exactly one-flve- hun
dredth part of an inch in thickness, much
finer than human hair. Ordinary wire,
even though of small diameter, Is drawn
through holes in steel plates, but on
account of the wear such plates cannot
bo used in making the hair wire. The
Taunton factory mentioned uses drilled
diamonds for that purpose. These queer
diamond dies are made by woman OF
