FUNGI.
An Interesting Discussion of Some Flow.
erless Plants.

Miss Mary e. Sayward gave a very In
terestfng lecture at the Natural History
rooms yesterday afternoon on THAT divi-
sion of howealess plants represented by
fungi The following is an abstract:
Fungi are plants which cannot make
their own food from the mineral matter OF
the soil and the cerbon dioxide of the air,
ana 50 are dependent upon organic mat
ter. They are made up of single cells,
which sometimes elongate so as to be-
come illanents, which spread through or
upon the substance on which they live for
the purpose OF obtaining sustenance; other
portions dinerentiate still further and be-
come spors-bearing surfaces or organs
ThoEe called molds live upon dead or
ganic or diseased living matter. Fruit
and jelly are common hosts. Their coiorg
are all except grass green.
The true mildews are found upon the
living tissues Of fruits, such as peach,
apricot and grape; rose, willow, maple,
haEel, ash, beech and hop leaves; their
position Is the surface of leaf or stem.
they are white or light-colored. This
Kind is found upon cloth. The false mil
dews live upon the living tissues of the
apple grape and potato.
The rusts exist upon living plants, on
the cereals, especially wheat. oats, rye,
many Wild grasses; on barberry, rhu-
barb dock, the mints, violets, pine and
| asparagus; their position is the under
side of leaf or leaf stalk; their color.
Ok a1BeJ DToWu OF DidcK.
The emuts find a home upon the living
plants OF the grass family, especially upon
| the oats Indian corn, wheat and rye;
their position is the fruit and color sooty
| black and brown.
The larger fungi are known as the gill
| fungi, spore fungi, toothed fungi and puff
| ball fungi, according to the location of the
| spore-bearing parts They live on decay
| ing and living vegetable and animal mat
/ ter.
They are useful in various ways. Those
| which grow on living plants prevent any
| one particular kind from developing in toe
| large numbers, and thus discriminating
| other plants. Those living upon dead
| plants and animals hasten their decay an6
| removal. Many are used by man for food
| medicine and dyes.

Mellen Defies the
Speaker,
WORD OBJECTED TO,
A Committee VIII Report
Upon His Action.

Boston, March 21.-In the House
during the afternoon there was some
what of an exciting scene, in which Mr..
Mellen OF Worcester figured quite ex-
tensively. The Somerville charter bill
was under discussion and Mr.. Luce
had spoken upon it.
Mir. Mellen of Worcester arose to
speak and pronounced the arguments
Of Mr., Luce rot" Mr.. Bates, the
speaker, cautioned Mr.. Mellen as to his
language, with the remark that rot
was not parliamentary word. Mr.
Mellen said he thought 1t was, and re-
peated It.
The speaker said he did not regard
it SO, and asked Mr.. Mellen not to use
1t again. Mr.. Mellen did so, however
and the speaker asked him to with
draw it.
II won't do IT," beloved Mellen.
Tbs speaker then said; 81 name Mr.
Mellen to the House for it's action upon
his refusal to withdraw the word"
MIR. Myers of Cambridge moved the
appointment of d committee to make
report upon the matter.
MIR. Lomasney tried to have Mr.. Mel
len given chance TO speak, but the
speaker ruled that he was deprived of
the floor until the committee had re-
ported.
The speaker appointed Messrs. Myers
Mccarthy Stone. Lomasney and Garlic
ton. They will report Wednesday
probably that Mellen be deprived of
the freedom of the House until he with
draws the language and apologies to
the House.
The feature of the legislative ses-
sions today was the visit or Mai. Gen
Nelson A. Miles, who paid his respects
to both bodies Of the great and general
court. In the Senate and House the
general made brief speeches, which
were well received.
The Carney Hospital was again ar
gued at considerable length in the
House, and some feeling was developed
The resolve was finally ordered to a
third reading.
In the Senate the bill for the forma-
ton and disbursement of a public
school teachers retirement fund in
Boston was discussed. The question
was on engrossing the measure. A
vote had not been taken at the time OF
adjournment

HELPS WORCESTER.
Does the New Railroad Operations of the
NanderbiIts.


Regarding the reported Vanderbilt in
| terests in Central Massachusetts. it is
stated by one thoroughly familiar with
the situation. that instead OF using GhA
Poughkeepsie bridge route as a connec-
ton with the New York Central, the
construction Of a new line across the
Berkshire hills from WILLIAMSBURG. the
Central Massachusetts terminus. 10 Al
bany. is very probable.
Many years ago such a. route was
| surveyed and pronounced feasible II
would be about 40 miles shorter tina
the Boston and Albany. which was d.
verified toward the south in order to
reach Springfield and other large oties.
| The Central Massachusetts, by the ex-
| penditure of considerable money could
be made the most direct outlet for tha
Vanderbilt system to Boston An
other fact that may have a. direct bear
ing upon this plan. is that tho Fitch
burg contemplated making a four-track
road between West Cambridge and
Boston. and work in that direction IL 10
be started at once. The company evil
IDENTIFY anticipates o. considerable IN
crease of traffic in the near future.
This scheme represents the most I'm
portaft movement in railroad affairs
that the people OF this section have seer
in many years. In the first place, II
means that the New Haveu's monopoly
is to be broken. and by system amply
equipped for the competition. 1t means
that the Fitchburg s 10 become
| terminal of two branches OF the great
| Vanderbilt system, which Is destined
in short time to span the continent
| 1t means that Boston is To become
great distributing centre, and that lis
advantages as a port of export are To-
be utilized. 1t means the possibility
of through cars and quick service be-
tween Portland and other northern
| points and New York. a matter OF very
great importance to Worcester manu-
| facturers.
