One might fancy that the seasons had
made mistake in their order, and that
spring had come again, if he judged by
the flower tables in the Museum, for here
are many of the May and June flowers,
as bright and fresh as they were four
months ago. Canada violets, daisies
and buttercups, bIack-eyed Susans, two
kinds OF clover and forget ,me-nots, are
displayed. A second look, however,
shows goldenrod flaming up behind them,
while feathery clematis and heavily.
fruited fern fronds remind the visitor
that it is indeed autumn, and that he
may count June's flowers as a special gift.
Two new specimens have been received
the tall white or panicled aster first
time reported in this vicinity and the
SOW thistle.

The Human Body.

The blood, muscles, bones and other
parts of the human body are composed
of many chemical constituents, and a
correct chemical analysis would be
long and tedious. The specific gravity
of the blood is 1,02S, and ITO parts Of
every 1000 are water. Of the other
parts chloride of sodium, chloride po-
tassium, carbonate magnesia, calcium
phosphate, calcium lactate, potassium
phosphate, sodium carbonate and other
constituents are found. This is gen.
orally true, with variations also, of
tissues and bone. The fundamental
substance of bone is composed of Or
ganic matter, combined with various
inorganic salts, in which calcium phos-
plate largely predominates. In addi-
ton the bones contain calcium carbon
ate, calcium fluoride, magnesium phos-
phate, sodium phosphate and sodium
chloride.

Reports to Bradstrtet's show that the

portions of the state that manufacturing
plants depending upon water tor power
are greatly Inconvenience, as are also
the electric light plants. The situation
arising from scarcity of water is serious
in other respects, affecting the supply tor
ordinary purposes. From reports re-
ceived from large number of towns it
is shown that manufacturers are gener-
ally busy. In many cases plants which
are largely dependent upon water power
are provided with steam power to meet
emergencies like the present. The apple
crop is in good condition, for while the
yield is irregular-some orchards bearing
well while Others are almost taiIure--the
fruit is sound. Complaint is made that
potatoes are rotting. Creamery and
lumber interests continue to contribute
ready cash in large amounts to the
farmers. Industries which usually Dor
row from local banks such accommoda.

securing funds at practically the same
rates as formerly, but it is understood
that banks which are in a position to
loan money after taking care of their
customers, can secure high rates for their
surplus by placing it outside the state.
Retail trade is only fair as weather con.
ditions are not favorable for seasonable
goods. There is a demand for wares
sold by wholesalers as most of the lob.
bers handle staple goods. Labor is well
