MASONIC.
Grand Lodge of Washington Still
MISREPRESENTATION Designs.

The equiyocal language of the grand
lodge Of Washington in resembling its
resolutions on negro Masonry does not
meet the views of a number of grand
lodges, notably Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, North Carolina, Alabama and Texas,
and they have refused to resume frater-
nal relations. The grand master of Penn
sylvania denies the right of Washington
to pass upon the legitimacy of bodies
within the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania
Masonic Standard.
Means for increasing the capacity of
the Ohio Masonic home are now being
considered by members of the board of
trustees and Superintendent John w.
Parsons.
Hamilton chapter of Rochester has r.
membership of over 700.
The 16 lodges in Hamburg belong to
six different grand lodges.
The net gain in membership in Ameri-
can lodges for the year ending June,
1899, was Il, Oo2.
The grand lodge of California forbids
the publication of bulletins by lodges.
Other grand lodges require the lodges to
issue bulletins-that Is, to send to every
member notices of meetings and of the
business to be transacted, lists of candi-
dates, etc.
A man to appreciate Masonry must use
his brains. He must study it's meaning
and work out its philosophy. There Is
nothing in any of our ceremonies to fur
nish entertainment or amusement.
Alfred III. Tieman of Hood River, Or,
who died recently, leaving no relatives,
bequea thed his property, about $4,000 in
value, to his lodge at Hood River, with
the proviso that it shall be used in build
ing a two story brick building, the upper
story to be used as lodgeroom.
One of the graduates of the Kentucky
Masonic home will take charge of the
kindergarten of the Methodist mission in
Rio de Janeiro.
Promotion in office is n bad practice
and should not be observed. One who
will not cheerfully submit to the brethren
passing upon his qualitica tions without
feeling that an injustice has been done is
unworthy to preside over body Of Ma
sons.-Acacia.

Good Effects of Singing.

Many medical men are now recon-
mending their patients to study sing
ing, which is most salutary exercise.
both by virtue of it's influence on the
emotions, on the respiratory move
ments and on the development of the
lungs, says the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. Nothing better shows the bene-
fetal influence of singing in develop
ing the chest and warding off lung
diseases than the freedom from pulmo-
nary affections among professional
singers. Moreover, their general health
is exceptionally good, and this Is prob
ably in a large measure attributable
not only to their necessarily careful
plan of living, but also to the exercise
of their calling. Some physicians main
tain that for defective chest develop
ment and in chronic heart trouble sing
ing is an unequaled exercise. The
singer should be clad so as to allow alb
solute freedom of the chest move
ments. There should be no constric
ton of the neck or waist. The collar
should be low and ample, and if cor
sets are worn they should be roomy
and loose. One error into which sing
ers, and especially amateurs, fall is to
practice too much. The length of time
to be given to the exercise depends
much upon the character and condition
of the voice.

INTERNAL FLOWER ;
CURIOUS ROSE DISCOVERE ED
NEAR THE CRATER OF
CENTRAL AMERICAN Z
VOLCANO. 4

Two proSpectOrs just returned from
a long and fruitless search for gold
among the rugged mountains of Cen
trail America, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, are the discoveries of what IS
pronounced by naturalists who have
seen the remarkably fine specimens
brought by the finders to be the stran-
gest and rareSt flower in the known
world. 1t grows in crevices on the
| sides of Mount Aqua and around the
scared edges of the crater of the tow
ering volcano FuegO. Guatemala, and
has been named the Rose of Hades"
because of a legend of the Qua temalan
Indians which attaches to the place of
its nativity. 1t is really n beautiful
flower despite its rough appearance,
and the half dozen specimens exhibit
ed have attracted wide attention and
interest among scientists and educa-
tiOnal institutions, several of which
have endeavored to purchase the val
liable curioSities.
The newly discovered BLOSSOM, if
such it may be called, is q puzzle to all
who have examined it and is odd and
wonderful in many ways, as the illus
tratiOn shows. 1t is composed Of four
distinct petals, concave in shape and
arranged much like the petals of half
blown rose. The outside of the petals
or divisions of the flower is covered
with thick bark, like an ordinary tree.
Inside of these divisions the hard sur
face is indented with lines that follow
each other in the most delicate tracery,
like the veins in the petals of some
flowers. The stem, which is usually
about foot long, is of solid wood, not

ROSE OF HADES.

disSimilar to the ash or ironwoOd of
the forests of the United States, eX-
cept that the fiber is more porous and
the wood much lighter, though equally
strong. 1t is covered with a heavy
bark and is cracked in several places,
as though by heat. The flower and
the stem are dark brown in color aud
as dry as finder. 1t grows on a tree
of immense size and great strength
which, covered with flowers and view
ed from a distance, looks not unlike
a bush laden with common roses,
though there is lack of bright colors.
And there is no fragrance.
Nothing like the Rose of Hades" is
known to exist anywhere else on earth,
and its discovery by Gray and Ivers,
the two proSpectOrs, was brought
about by chance and their desire to
scale the high volcanic mountains. The
ignorant natives who inhabit the jun
giles at the base of the ranges regard
the flower with awe and superstition
and have been taught through count
less generations that to touch it fnten-
tionally would bring an everlasting
curse upon the luckleSs one who thus
tempted the fiends supposed to dwell
within the great mountains whence it
springs.
The Indians regard the crater of
steaming Fuego as the doorway of
hades, and this wonderful flower grows
near its mouth; hence Il strange legend
which holds that it is the only flower
or ornament produced where evil spir-
its revel in furious fire. The super
Stition which attributes the origin of
the flower to the demons of hades is
hard to trace, but the Indians have
known the prodigy of nature for long
time. it appears, and have always as
sociated it with the fiery vengeance of
the subterranean regions. They look
upon the curious flower as the most
deadly of poisons, and experiments
made by boiling the bark and placing
q small quantity of the fluid in water
for animals to drink have proved it
to be such, deaths resulting quickly
and apparently without pain.

KNIGHTS Of PYTHIAS.
The Purpose of the Uniform Rank
Helmet GIints.

The uniform rank is not, as many
would suppose, merely for street parade,
though as such no finer body of men ever
walked in uniform, but as n lodge adj
junct for an escort in the rank work they
lend grace, precision and dignity to the
ceremonies. The lodges who have never
witnessed the uniformed rank in this
work should invite Il neighboring team
and their uniformed escort. Try it,

Excelsior lodge of Philadelphia has or
ganized a degree team and is striving to

uinine md Malaria.

In an article by DR.. Monaco in the
Att del Lincei on the action of quinine
on the parasite of malaria it is shown
that certain strengths of the drug
cause the expulsion of the parasites
from the red blood corpuscles when
the parasites are in their second or
adult stage. There seems to be still
some doubt as to the exact dose of
Quinine which ought to be administer
ed to effect cure of spring fever. and
the amount seems to vary with the Pc
culiaritieS of various patients. From
these experiments, however, it would
appear that the doses usually given are
excessive and that more rational dose
would lie between half a gram and n
gram of the bisulphate Of quinine.
Too strong solutions seem to cause
paralysis Of the parasites and to pre-
vent their expulsion from the blood
corpuscles

Voice Pictures.

To take a picture of your voice it is
only necessary to tie a sheet of thin,
strong paper over the wide end of a tin
trumpet, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Hold it with the sheet of paper up
ward. take n thin pinch of fine sand
and place it in the center of the paper,
hold the trumpet vertically above your
face and sing a note into the lower
end. Do not blow, but sing the note
Lower the trumpet carefully and look
at the sand. You will find that the vi
brations Of your voice have scattered
the pinch Of sand into beautiful
sound picture. Every note in the mu-
sical scale will produce a different pic
ture; so you may produce a great va
riety of them. Some of these pictures
look like panses, roses and other flow
ers; some look like snakes and others
like flying birdS-in fact, there is no
limit to the variation. If you wish to
see the pictures while they are being
made, you may employ an old bell
shaped ear trumpet or you may use
your trumpet with 4 short piece Of
rubber tubing on the mouthpiece.

ROYAL ARCANUM.
A Council That Keeps on Working
Brief Notes.

When Regent G. G. Milne was Install
ed into office in our council, New York
city, in January, 1899. he announced as
the ambition of his term the increase of
membership to 1.1O5. The council then
had 1927 members. The council had a
good growth during 1890, but the t,1O5
mark was not reached, and Mr.. Milne had
to suffer the penalty of a second term The
elimination was reached, however, on
Jan. II, when they initiated Is members,
making their membership considerably
more than ], Jos.
The monthly reports of the subordinate
councils of Missouri for January show
gains which bring the membership in the
state to a total of 6,405 Jan. 81.
An association of regents and past re-
gents is being formed in San Francisco,
and it is expected that it will prove very
beneficial to the order.

now more members than at any previous
time in its history.

Strength of Aluminium.

In reply to the question which, it is
said. metal workers frequently ask,
"What is the strength of aluminium 2"
The Aluminium World says that cast
aluminium is about equal in strength
to cast iron in tension, while in resist
ing compression it is comparatively
weak. Under transverse strain alumni
fum is not very rigid, but 1t will bend
nearly double before breaking. The ten
sile strength of aluminium is greatly
improved by forging and pressing at a
temperature of 600 degrees f., and
aluminium alleged with nickel is much
stronger than the pure metal.
