sells and Hamburg. His pictures have been
reproduced in souvenir albums at AmSter-
dam and Brussels, and he has also won
medals in Brooklyn in 1894, and in Wash
lngton in 1885. Mr.. Scnaaff the third MEM
Der of the committee, is also an artistic
photographer. whose work has always stood
high in the exhibitions to which he has
contributed.
The Camera Club of the c. Bi. c. was
founded in 1891 by the Photographic men,
bers of the famous old Capital Bicycle Club
which has recently made such a national
reputation in whist. The Camera Club has
since drawn into the greater club some of
the best amateur photographers of the Dis
trlct, and now has a membership of twenty
1--WE camera enthusiasts. 1t has been a
Leader in the Photographic art movement
from the first, and the present exhibition
was undertaken solely for the encourage
ment of Its members. and honest workers
everywhere who possess artistic feeling
and who desire to produce, with the aid of
the camera, works that are pictures in the
best sense of the word.
So many high-class works were con-
tributed, literally from Massachusetts t,av
TO the Golden Gate, that the committee on
acceptance has been able to establish very
high standards, and the result will be an
exhibition of American works second TO
none previously held in this country and
such as has never been seen in Washington.

Every day we see playing round the ship

NOXfOuS Seeds In Wool.

rrou the Lewiston Journal
The recent warning from the Maine ex-
pertinent station concerning weeds in seed
says Maine gentleman, 'may we'll he sun-
plemented by calling attention to those in
troduced in the vicinity of Maine wooden
mills in the wool brought from Australia or
IeXaS or the Lord knows where This s
one oil the most prolific sources of foul
seeds the state has known. Two peculiarly
aggressive weeds owe their importa ton in1o
Maine to this cause, say the wool sorters.
These are what is popularity called Nav
weed and red root or burr weed The
May weed has one principal root which
runs deep with a twist Ike a corckscrew.
and when matured has a branchy, sprang-
pods, spreading III all directions and ready
to shell out seeds in enormous quantity on
the least provocation. The burr weed is
more robust and grows eighteen inches
or two feet high, a single stalk with a
crown top at first, with sprouts deVelop:ng
other stalks from the joints later It's
seeds are held in a mass of burs which be-
comes brittle and light when ripened. and
are readily blown about. 1t, too, has a
tap root which goes straight down to a
good depth 1t seeds profusely. Both the
May weed and the burr weed, when hoed
up or pulled from the soil, will not grow
again If they are carefully carried off the
premises and burned With anything less
they are pretty sure to reapDear with
additions The burr weed If left on the
ground, will send a root down and stalk
up at every joint. Fortuna te1y, these weeds
do not thrive in grass land. If they did
the state would soon be overrun with
them"
