THE ox-EYE DAISY.

The yellow button-Iike disk is com posed of a myriad of small perfect flowers, with yellow five7cleft tubular corolla, and ring of fused stamens sur- rounding the pistil. Of calyx we, find hardly trace, the close packing of the flowers leaves no room for it. and ren- ders it unnecessary as a protective structure. In the composite the calyx is usually reduced to a few hairs, which often play a valuable part in aiding seed dispersal, as we shall see, by growing as the fruit ripens into a feathery plume or pappus, which acts as parachute. The marginal, or ray, flowers of our daisy have no stamen- are female, and their corolla is white and greatly expanded in an outward direcdon-the only direction in which there is room for expansion.
 These ray flowers, in fact, are large ly useful in advertising the otherwise inconspicuous flower head Similar devices we have already noted in the wild Guelder rose, and we may con- pare with these such flower heads as those of the little cornet (cornus sue cica) and the astrantias, in which the flowers are surrounded by ring Of colored leaves, which serve the same purpose. Finally, our daisy head sur rounded by a close fitting double ring Of small leaves, the involucre, which incloses the whole in bud and plays the part that calyx usually plays in single flower.
 It is perhaps among some of the larger members of the daisy group that the composite inforescence attains Examine such a flower form as the OK eye daisy. First we have the close tapping scales of the involucre, secure ly inclosing the whole and protecting it when in bud. Then the splendid ring of ray Flowers, whose object is to render the inforescence more con spicuous. Thus we find these enor- mously expanded corollas often assum- ing tint other than that of the main mass of fowers-white when the disk is yellow, as in the ox-eye; in other species blue or purple or yellow, ac- companying yellowish or grayish disk
 These ray forets have sacrificed their perfection as flowers for the pur- poses of advertisement, and are usual ly devoid of stamens, or sometimes devoid of both stamens- and pistil. Finally, we have the dense mass of disk forets, all perfect, producing a quality of minute fruits. As for het fruit of the corymbiferas, a large num- Der rely on wind carriage, and the calyx segments take the form of hairs which grow into more or less perfect parachute to aid in transporting the comparatively large fruit to pastures new.-Knowledge

The events of the week have not been of a particularly eneoura ginc character, says Banker Clews in his weekly letter. Damage to crops in the northwest, and fears that the Bal kan crisis might cause disturhinc fresh selling movement, checking a revival of confidence and precipitatins a partial return of recent liuuidation. A portion of the selling was attributed to the closing out of accounts which were tided over the last heavy break: while. the bear attacks were further ments connected with some of the larger industrials, also the lower prices for iron which those pessimisticaIly inclined profess to believe are indicat- i've of business reaction. These are the only new developments in an oth- erwtse sound situation, and to them alone is due the Irregularities of the week just ended. Reports of crop damage seem to have been exaggerat- ed, as usual. Injuries, however. were chiefly local, and another week of freedom from general frost will put corn and cotton out of danger. Very likely some reports of damage may be forthcoming, but the great bulk of the crops are already safe, and each day materially lessens the possibility of in jury. Although the crops are late, it must be remembered that the last few weeks have been almost ideal crop weather, unusually so for September, and railroad managers as rule are confident that the crops are now safe from any important danger.

There is a tradition that a man named Mcclellan had something to do with the battle of Antietam, but no allusion to him appears to have been made in any of the addresses that were delivered on the battlefield yes terday. Of course there can be no question of the perfect sincerity of the president when he says that he is not mixing in any way in the munich pal campaign in New York or any other city, but we do not believe he would deliver an address at Gettys- burg without mentioning Meade or that he would indulge in oratory at Appomattox Court House without re- ferring to Grant--Hartford Times.
 Politics at the bottom of it, of course, and if by emitting the name Of democrat the republicans can gain a point they are going to do it every time, no matter whether it is a man that faced the bullets in the civil war or one that went to Canada until the affair had blown over or a substitute was obtained. The president seems to be a master hand in the game of politics.

 The best service which the believers in our continued prosperity can per form in its behalf is the recognition of truth and the acknowledgement of facts such as are contained in the statement of James NJ.

CAN PROVE HIS BREEDING.
The Real Gentleman Among Bulldogs

The hSdl 6eHLleulan AmOuS buAuOBS
 Is the Yellow One.
 A young naval officer returned to the city recently from an extended cruise throughout the waters of the eastern hemisphere. and. as usual, brought home many curious and unusual things. Of these none is more worthy of mention than an exceeding ly handsome specimen of the English bulldog, presented to the officer by a friend, who resides in a remote ana old-faShioned quarter of England. Tn the opinion of local canine experts this particular animal, Rex is his name, is perfect so far as form is concerned, but exceedingly ''off color" In fact, Rex is what nowadays is very rarely seen in bulldogs, a bright buff, or orange, yellow, and his color spells him as a show animal: The fashion able color for modern bulldogs. bull terriers, etc, is brindled black and dun, with or without white spots; in fact, most any color other than yellow.
 Yet in one this same same yellow color should render Rex doubly valu- able. Buff or orange yellow was the original coior of the English bulldog, back in the days of good Queen Bess, and down as late as the days when Dickens wrote of Bill Sikes. Then, for some reason, the yellow color be- came unpopular. and breeders set about elimina ting the objectionable hue, so chat for nearly century the yellow bulldog has been thing un- known and forgotten. ....
 Yet in certain old-fashioned stock raising districts of England, such as the West Riding of Yorkshire, the primitive buff yellow bulldog still ez- ists, and continues to be the favorite of drovers who employ the animal for the. same purposes their ancestors used for centuries ago, and from which the animal received the. name; namely, for catching and holding fierce and in tractable male bovines by the nose. Cattle are extremely sensitive about the nose and a strong, courageous buH- dog can seize and hold a refractory bovine for any short length of time un- til secured with ropes. the huge ani- nal fearing to move lest the pain to his sensitive nostrils be increased by the sharp teeth of the dog. Therefore, Rex, who first saw the light of ray in the region where the primitive bull. dog is still to be found. deserves men tion as the sole specimen of the an- cient race of English bulldogs in Washington, if not in the entire east.

BOOK COVERS.
All of the Cloth for Them is Made
 from Cotton Fabric

from Cotton Fabric.
 All of the cloth used in the bind ing of books is made from cotton fabric, yet ane would not say so on seeing the finished product. Some of 1t looks exactly like coarse linen. Other styles have the appearance of the finest kind of silk, while others have varions sorts of finishes that look like leatheret, canvas, watereG silk and a thousand different designs.
 When the cloth comes from the mills it is treated in various ways to prepare it for the dyeing process, which is the most important. +'' Differ ent kinds of sizing is used in the diff ferent grades. and after this is done it is ready for the color machines. These are really the same sort of machines that calico is made on. They are built of great steel rolls or cams that are heated to high teu- perature by means of live steam passing through them constantly: The cloth passes through boxes filled with the aniline color that the cloth is ex- pected to be colored with. This is mixed with starch paste and is spread evenly all through the cloth.
 The latter then continues through the steam heated cams and is finally rolled up at the back of the machine in a heavy roll of the desired color. The different finishes are given in q second process. The cloth is passed through very heavy and massive steel rolls which have been engraved with the design that is wanted. Fine lines running diagonally across the cloth will give a silk effect, and there are many other impressions that may be stamped on in this way.
 The process is an expensive one, and the resulting price of cloth is rather high, from 60 to 90 cents a yard. There are several artists in the large cities of the country who have begun to make a speciality of design ing book covers on this cloth, and they are able to make a good living from their work if they are clever.- Springfeld Union.

Speaking of the Turkish atrocities
 a writer in a New York newspaper says that Greece also knows that Turkish rule is rather that of wild beasts than of men, She knows that the Christian living under Moslem government is a practical outlaw, with no legal rights of any kind save such as he may buy of his oppressors. She knows that neither his home nor his person nor his family is safe from attack by any Moslem who chooses to assail him. and that he may neither own and use a weapon in his defence, nor obtain redress in any Moslem court She knows that the Turkish system of taxation is one of organized plumber, in which the Christian may have to give up the bulk of his income to the tax-gatherer to save his life. She knows that the social organiza- ton under Moslem law is one of sys- tematic insult for every one who is not Moslem, and that that law is as in- capable of change by any Moslem gov ernment as are the Ten Command ments incapable of change by any Christian government. She knows that the peasants of Macedonia have been enduring at Turkish hands all the slow tortures which drove their own fathers to heroic revolt. Yet sooner than see the province given the political and social character which the immense majority of it's people wish, Greece would prefer to have the rule of the Turk continue indefniteiv,

MOTOR RULES IN ENGLAND.


 Tn the matter of speed drivers must limit their ambitions to 20 miles an hour. In cases where this is alleged to be exceeded the opinion of only one witnessV will not be sufficient to secure conviction. Motor cc@s must be regis tered and bear a number, which must be kept unobscured and easily distin- guishable. Drivers are required to obtain a license, for which the fee is 5s, and no person under 1T years of age will be licensed. Reckless and negligent driving, or driving at ex- cessive speed is punishable by fine or imprisonment. Offenders who refuse their names and addresses or whose vehicles cannot be identified may be arrested by the police without war rant. In case of accident caused by or due to the motor car the driver must stop and, if required furnish name and address and other particu- lars for identification of himself or employer or owner-London Outlook.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1s. 1908.

It has been evident from the start that Waterbury is not just ready to undertake any elaborate celebration whether it is called an old-home week or a semi centennial affair. This city has been through considerable the past year or two, and those people who would necessarily have to stand the tbrunt of a celebration are in no mood to undertake it at present Some other year, after the events of 19O2 and 1903 have been forgotten, Water bury will have a celebration, we hope, and one that will be worth while.

''It might surprise you to hear that we sell more confectionery to guides than to visitors" said communicative storekeeper the other evening, land the funny thing about it is that they want the high-grade goods They buy it by the pound and they buy regularly and often. Chocolate creams with nuts are their favorite confections. but they like cake, chocolate and marshmallows, too. They are also our best customers on fruit and nuts, fancy crackers and other sweets. ,,-M. Y. Sun.

IMPORTANT PRIVILEGES AND THE cITY,S INTERESTS.

Now that the gas franchise priyi. lege has been granted. but shorn of every item that would cons,rue it as a franchise, and for which the city of Bisbee, as a corporation has received nothing. the Review desires to call attention to the danger of the prac- tice on the part of any municipal gov ernment in parting with any of its ves-- ed rights and privileges without the city in turn receives some revenue thst in the future years may be applied to the support of the city government
 That the last legislature clearly in tended that cities of the same class of Bisbee were to be authorized tD grant franchises. not to be exclusive, but to extend for a certain period of years and for which the city was to receive some consideration. was made very clear in Act No. s1 which provid- ed for the manner in which such franchises were to be granted by first leaving the question to a vote of the people. The council got around this act of the legislature by striking from the original ordinance those sec tions that branded the original docr- ment as a franchise. But that is now past history. The question that pre- sents itself to every thinking taxpayer in Bisbee is, from whence is to come the revenue to pay the increased ex- penses of city government in the years to come, after every source of reve- nue has been frittered away.
 The fad of giving away franchises. large or small, in cities has long ago ceased. Old franchises that are ex- bring are being renewed only upon the receipt of fair remuneration for the city. Bisbee can i'll afford to give away everything in the way of privilege or franchise and in the next breath go before the people asking for more money to pay the expenses O. city government. Such short sight- ed business policy on the part of the council will create dissension and fos- ter spirit of disincorporation thet forever lays dormant in our midst. So far as the gas privilege is concerned that but serves as an example. The principle remains the same. Bisbee has no special privileges or franchises to give away to any one. They are all welcome in Bisbee, but a. the same time let the council demand that the city receive a fair remuneration.
 The Review hopes that the declara' ton of several members of the coun' cil to the effect that Bisbee will soon enjoy cheaper lights will prove true. It is barely possible, but not probable.
