Dr.. Writings Lecture.

The following is brief extract of DR..
Writings last lecture before the class in
botany, recently organized.
The speaker prefaced his lecture by re-
marking that the course of instruction in
botany which he intended to pursue was
to be almost entirely observational work
and, so far as he knew, had not been pre-
viously systematiZed.
The subjects considered were: The bud
and the branch; the leaf bud and the fruit
bud; a DETECTED axis of growth; the
struggle for existence in tree top; knots
and knotholes.
The age of a branch is indicated by the
disposition of its branchlets. 1t is safe to
say that on branches of one years growth
we never find twigs. and the converse is
better developed than those further down
the branch, and that all buds DO not de-
velop into leaves. This shows that a tree
has a possibility of more branches than it
really possesses. A limb of the tree may be
broken off, and the unopened buds which
may have remained dormant for years
will then begin to grow. In the fall We
could not tell the difference between a
fruit bud and a leaf bud. but at this time
of year we can. By examination we find
the axis of the fruit bud never leEgthens
to any extent. whereas the axis of the
leaf bud is comparatively much longer.
fruit buds are developing the growth of
the leaf buds in the axis is stopped. These
leaves drop off, and thus we have a de-
fected axis.
We find that the upper branches of
tree are much more vigorous than those
below All the leaves are struggling out
wards towards the sunlight. The lower

expensive, and sometimes dangerous,
trip, and are frequently inspired by
nothing more than the desire of some
prospector to get a fresh stake.
When this fellow came in with his
reports he was not listened to with
any overpowering degree of enthusi-
asm. But he certainly had the stuff to
show. He had about three pounds of
nuggets that plainly. showed that they
had been broken out of the quartz, and
after the quartz fragments had been
pinched off, the gold was sold at S14
an ounce, bringing a little more than
$500. Besides this he had POS pounds
of oxidized quartz. which he had
crushed and washed out, and from
which he got 100 ounces of gold, which
brought him $1,000. It was certainly
the richest ore l have ever seen. As
soon as the fellow got the money he
commenced to blow himself, and when

days, while party was being made up

soon as he had exhausted his windfall

people struggling for freedom As Irish
Catholics we cannot too severely condemn
the words OF that misguided priest in
New York. who said it was the duty of
Catholics to support Spain in a conflict
with this country We stand for America
against every other country on earth. and
the prompt disclaimer of the great arch
bishop of New York for responsibility for
his priests utterance meets d sincere re-
Spouse from the Catholics of the west.
These sentiments were loudly cheered.
S. J. Donlevy'S ringing declaration that
Irish nationalism was neither Catholicism
nor Professionalism, was enthusiastically
applauded. The speaker received an ova-

The tendency of inside and lower branches
is thus to perish, and we find the lower
parts of the trunks of many trees entirely
denuded of branches.
When a branch has been broken or
torn off close TO the parent limb. nature
deposits a ring of matter around the in
jury and in course of time the injured
part may be entirely filled up by this mat
ter. In this way a knot is formed If q

when the branch is severed at some dis

Regulations That Are Not Satisfact-

The West Australian Uitlanders are
greatly excited about the new mining reg

from sinking below 10 feet.
The object is to prevent common pick

Victoria's output of gold for the past
year is 772. 720 ounces. Bsndigo tops the
list with 2e0. 800 ounces. an increase of $3.50
ounces. compared with 1886. Then comes

There is a mining revival in Queens

throughout Queensland give gross total
for January of 1879 ounces, which, COM
pared with those of January, 1897, is an in

DOWN IN ARIZONA.
a Prospector's Story Causes Excite
ment In Clifton.

The Denver Republican tells the fol-
lowing story:
II. c. Deeming of Clifton. Ariz., was
AT the miners bureau yesterday. He
says that mining operations are very
active in Arizona, and new and valu-
able discoveries are being reported
daily. Just before I left Phoenix"
said he. "a prospector came in with
wonderful story of rich find and a
sackfui of ore to prove his assertions.
He said that in the northwestern cor
ner of the state he had found a vein
of quartz so rich, in free gold that with
an ordinary prospector's hammer one
could break off from, $40 to $50 worth of
nuggets IN a day. OF course, he had
the usual prespector's yarn that when
he made the find he was so nearly out
OF grub that he could not remain at
the place. Down in Arizona we are a
little shy of stories of that character,
as the locations are generally far away
