RHODODENDRONS FOR PROFIT.
Pennsylvania Farmers Ship Plants
for City Parks and Lawns.

Shipment of rhododendrOns TO the
city markets is an industry recently
developed in Wayne, Monroe and
other mountainous counties Of
northeastern Penns ylvania, says the
Boston Budget During the spring
months many persons have been en-
gagged in digging these shrubs from
the pastures and along the creeks
and loading ears for shipment.
The plants grow in punches,
around which a string is tied to keep
the branches together, then by
means of axes the sod is cut around
the base and the plants and roots are
removed from the ground with
from 25 to 40 pounds of soil and sod.
The shrubs are sent to New York
and other cities, TO be transplanted
in public parks and on lawns.
The rhododendron, or great laurel,
Is one of the most attractive and pro-
Life shrubs native to the Pennsyl-
yania mountain regions. lis mag
nifcent white flowers, clustered in
bouquets among dark green, yelyety
leaves, are in the fullness of beauty
during July and August Nowhere
else does il grow in such luxuriance
and attain SO high a degree Of perfec-
ton as on our Appalachian mountain
slopes. Long catalogued as a pest bv
farmers, who were unable to appre-
ciate the beautiful in nature. the
rhododendron is now source of
profit, adding many dollars to the in
comes of PENNSYLVANIA farmers.

EGYprrAN ARcHrrxcruRE.
Sir Martin Conway Describes the Earil-
est Stone Buildings.


AT the meeting of the Royal lnsti-
tute of British Architects. held the
other evening in London, says Tie
Paris Messenger, Sir Martin Con
way read a paper on "The Beginning
Of the Egyptian Style Of Alchitec-
ture." The lecturer said the Egyp-
iian style appeared to have arisen
absut the time of the fourth dynasty
an dto have rapidly developed during
the fifth. Until recently it was com
monty believed that the carly dynas-
tic Egyptians employed wooG for
small and costly edifces. IN fact,
however, no such Egyptian wooden
architecture ever existed. The
earlier Egyptian stone buildings had
no architectural feature whatever. 1t
was mere building, not architecture.
Down to the middle of the fourth
Gynasty the craft.of building in stone
had been carried to high degree
of perfection, but it had developed no
architectural art.
The lecturer describedthe charac-
teristic features of stone building
in the developed Egyptian style.
Discussing the question as to when
the translation Of all the features
and principles Of Egyptian architec-
lure invented by the mud builders,
into stone took place, the lecturer
said that the well-known sarcophagus
of khufuankh at Cairo threw a vel
come light on that problem. The
fifth dynasty had left them several
actual examples of stone architecture
containing decorative features.
Throughout the period when true
stone architecture was arising Egypt
pyramid building steadily lost its
charm for the kings, the reason evil
iently being that, as time advanced,
less of the mass of human energy UNI
der the command of the king was de-
voted TO pyramid building and more
to building Of some other sort.
The lecturer next considered the
character Of Divine temples Of the cid
empire, and referred to the evolution
brought about in temple building by
changes in religious ceremonial and
by the gradual BUSTING of the priest
iy caste. Finally, he considered the
character of the sculptured decora-
ton applied to old empire temples
and the system of its distribution.
Concluding, he said that Egypt
had impressed the prestige Of its
mighty name as country of great
building, and noble art on the mag
nation Of succeeding generations.
They were only now beginning to re-
alize that the reputation Of Egypt
as an ancient artistic nation. so far
from being exaggerated, did not at
tain the level it deserved.
