jacent fields by the electric cars is the cause of the scarcity and disappearance of the wild flowers. The people who go on on little jaunts on the numerous car lines that have lately sprung into existence are to blame for the passing away of the flowers All the seques- tered spots and hooks around the city are now reached by car lines, which once only the pedestrian could enjoy.
 The people, instead of picking the flowers carefully. pluck them with ruthless hands, often pulling up the en- tire plant by the roots. This wholesale uprooting of the plants is responsible for their disappearance. Such action is criminal in the eyes of flower lovers. Some effort should be made to stop this vandalism or wild flowers around San Francisco will be entirely a thing of the past"

For the benefit of those who are purposing to make col lections of wild flowers.

not reach Washington before next Satur-
fore the senate at the earliest opportunity
the president will not be able to do so
until q week after its receipt for the
reason that congress viii then be in holt

cases will be followed in order to avoid
exciting useless animosity against the
treaty on the part of the sticklers for
the observance of the courtesy due the
