omen.
Mr. and Mrs. Peters have added num-
Der of others. Mrs. Peters fixed d piece
of crepe to the door knob. so that the
guests, thirteen in number, all in sombre
garments. might not miss the place
There were thirteen courses and the menu
cards. designed by Mr. Peters, were in
the shape of tombstones, with weeping
willows about the inscriptions.
The napkins mad heavy black borders,
and the hand-painted plates showed cof-
fins in their designs. BY the plate OF each
guest was a small wreath of immortelles
tied with slender black ribbon, and the
ices were grinning skulls, with cocktail
cherries for eyes. A funeral march was
played during The meal, and the guests
were required to walk under ladder,

known before the Imperial Botanical So

II appears that trees and plants can
even be fed and nourished Independently
Of the agency Of their roots The ento-

MAY DRAIN NIAGARA
One of the Worlds Wonders Will
 Soon Be Obliterated

Buffalo-D. T. Welsh, the father of the Niagara Falls reservat ion and the original promoter of the Niagara Falls Power company, said that the Chicago drainage canal in connection with the power companies now forming, were relegating Niagara to the past. He said:
 Enough applications are in Albany now for permission to build and ope- rate power plants to take water from Niagara river to reduce the flow over the falls at least one-fifth. The Chi cago drainage canal is carrying a great volume of water downwards to- ward the Mississippi, diverting it from the falls. The Canadian govern ment is granting franchises to com panies to use the water as fast as we are on this side. Steps should be taken to restrict the number of con cerns allowed to use the water of the river, or it will not be long before our grand cataract will be gone.

A GREAT CROP ASSURED
Fruit Canneries Will Be Embarrassed
 for Want of Heb

San Francisco-Splendid rains in the great fruit raising sec ions of the state have assured such crop as has not been known for years. A serious problem faces the fruit canners, who have not sufficient help, unless the workers now on hand are reinforced by heavy immigration into the state. Fully 5000 young women will be re- quired in California by June l to assist in caring for the remarkable crop.
 The California Promotion committee is receiving letters from canneries from all portions of the state, con- plaining of the inadequate supply of help.
