nshing at the same time from its
blossom an exquisite perfume, new
potato is being exploited in France.
Thornwell Hayes, United States con-

that this vegetable was introduced
from the banks of the river Merce-
des, Uruguay, and distributed in
France by Col. Heckel, director of
the Colonial Institute of Marseilles.
In its original state the tubercle is
very bitter, but DR.. Heckle pro-
nouoces the results of four years of
experiments with it as marvellous. In
the same soil the yield is greatly su-

a Remarkable Sentence.
A philolOgist quoted the other day
this sentence:

A philologist quoted the other day
this sentence:
"Sator arepo teret opera rotas.''
He paused impressively. He re-
peated the sentence as a clergyman
does his text. Then he resumed:
THAT is the most remarkable SEN
tence in the world; for, besides good
sense, it reads the same way back
wards and forwards, and, further
more, the first letters of each of the
five words spell the sentences first
word; the second letters the second
word; the third letters the third
word, and so on to the end.
"AlsO," he went on, "if you take
the last letters of each word, begin
ming at the end and proceeding to-
ward the front, you spell all the
words again-'sator' first, then are
po,' and, finally, 'rotas."
1t is not known who composed this
latin sentence. Whoever it was he
certainly performed very difficult
literary feat-just how difficult you
will not appreciate until you. under-
take to construct a similar sentence.
