HOW Alum Anect. plnnt..

Herr NJ. Molisch has found by ex-
pertinent that alum in the soil invaria-
bly, changes the naturally pink color
of the flowers of Hydrangea hortensis to
blue. The efficient constituent in the
alum is the aluminium sulphate Fer
ric sulphate produces similar results.
Other salts of iron are generally mega
tive. The cause of the natural pink coll
or in the flowers is anthocyan. This,
chemically combined with the salts in
question, produces blue flower. The
stamens are most sensitive to nhange in
color

cruelty Is Due to women.

At the congress of the American
Ornithologists' union Chairman Will
lam butcher read his report, which he
prefaced with this statement: 'The
on women's hats is, i think, due to an
unwilIingness on their part to assume
individual responsibility. Most women
know the cruelty entailed in obtaining
the plumes that ornament their hats,
but excuse themselves on the ground
that iii was not committed for me per-

were discouraging in that they told
that the use of aigrettes and feathers
on hats was more popular this year
than ever before.

Fruit Flavor. from Leaves.

NJ. Jacquemin, French pharmacist,
has invented a process by which, he
says, he can form from the leaves of
various fruit-bearing trees and shrubs
the fiavors that are characteristic of the
fruits themselves. From apple tree
leaves, crushed and fermented, he OBJ
tains liquid possessing the fragrance
and taste of apples, and from vine
leaves beverage resembling wine. His
theory is that the peculiar flavor of APP
pies, pears, grapes and berries is pre-
pared in, and derived from, the leaves
