Father A. B. Langlois of the Roman
Catholic church, who died recently at
st. Martinsville, La, at the age of ~
years, was known throughout the scicn-
tific world as botanist of rare attain
ments. His minute studies of the fora
of Louisiana covered that field as thor
oughly as has been done for any other
part of the world. For half Il century
he was engaged in collecting specimens
of Louisiana plants and beside retaining
a large number for his own use, he sup
piled museums i'll many places with the
characteristic growths of the region. in
recognition of this work several plants
have received his name. He has pub
lished a number of volumes on the sub
ject to which he had devoted his life. and
all his scientific work was done in the
French language. A native of France,
he was better known in this country than
in the land of his adoption

When our cities have been entangled in

country has made wonderful stride to-

Heretofore the village, or at least the

done away with. The grouping of homes
