WOMEN IN THE TROPICS.
Took Advantage Of Vacation Time to
Go Botanizing In Jamaica.


Miss Winifred J. Robinson of Vas.
sar college and Miss Mary M. Brack.
EFT, secretary Of the Wadleigh High
school, spent their vacation in ia
maica this summer, and were the
pioneers OF their sex in the field Of
botanical research in the tropics.
They were accompanied by Miss
Brackets mother. Mrs. L. G. Brack.
EFT. Last week they returned laden
with botanical spoils.
Jamaica Is the favorite home of
the ferns. Miss Robinson went In
search of material for a study OF tho
life history Of the filmy fern, by far
the daintiest of it's race.
Miss Bracket went In quest Of ma.
terial for study Of the embryology
Of the mistletoe and found the island
rich in specimens. Those familiar
only with the mistletoe that is min.
gled with the Christmas greenery
will be surprised to learn that Miss
Bracket secured at least twelve
varieties OF the plant in the vicinity
OF Cinchona, where a laboratory for
the study Of tropical vegetation was
established on the island last year
by the New York Botanical garden.
Miss Robinson and Miss Bracket
are the first women who have availed
themselves Of the opportunities Offer
ed by the laboratory. A cottage, with
grounds enclosed and a small hot.
house, was assigned to their use and
saved them the inconvenience of
camp life, and they made Cinchona
the base of operations during their
six weeks sojourn on the island
In their invasion of the wilds they
reached an altitude of 5000 feet
above sea level, in localities totally
unknown to tourists and but little
known to explorers and scientists.
Assisted by a guide, ponies and two
native boys, whose chief duty was
to clear the way OF the densest of un.
dergrowth, they explored John Crow
peak and Monkey Hill pretty thor.
oughly.
Miss Robinson secured a large col.
lection OF herbarium specimens and
living plants which are expected to
reveal many new species. They were
collected for Vassar college. Miss
Bracket was equally successful in
securing material for her investiga.

Call Of the City.

Faint and far. like a thing OF dreams.
With palace and mart and spire,
With. the tread Of a million hurrying
With hope and regret and desire
The city lies and 1t calls with a voice
That touches mems souls with fire.
che fields stretch far to the rim of the
day,
And afar TO the rising sun.
The valleys between bear lilies white,
las the snood OF a cloistered nun:
The winds OF heaven. untrammeled and
Fan meadow and fen and fall
But ever and ever the wind fares forth
With Its burden, the city's call.
The maid who dreams by the side of
That flows from the niche in the hill.
LEEDS not that the bird on the blossom
Sits mute to hear her trill
The tender hit of an old love song,
In the voice of the brook and the whis-
pering breeze
They bring her the message Of fame.
The youth with his hand on the stub
born plow,
As furrow on furrow lie turns,
And wondrous fire there burns
In the depths OF his steadfast, grave
AS he stands there strong and tall
For over the hush of the fallow field
Comes stealing the city's call
The student bending to parchment and
page,
While the midnight oil burns low.
Deives on and on. for the way is long
That the searcher for truth must go
But glow oerspreads his strange wan
face
As he let's the last page fall,
For into the quiet. shadowed room
Comes creeping the city's call.
Faint and far. like thing OF dreams.
With palace and mart and spire
With the tread Of d million hurrying
feet.
With hope and regret and desire
The city lies and 1t calls with a voice
That touches mems souls with fire.

violent opposition on the Republican

speech that he could not support a
bill which declares the United States,

establishment, all under the assertion
that it is done for peace. He ques-
toned the need of so great a navy,
as the bill contemplates, asserting
that the Monroe doctrine and the SUI
premacy of this country on this side
of the world is secure and that the
control of the Philippines by this
country had not been questioned. He
asked the minority why in view Of
the declaration of the Kansas City
platform, they had not exposed these
expenditures.
Williams, the minority leader. said
the inquiry put the Democrats in an
unfair attitude as the failure of the
bill would mean that the ships under
construction would rot at the docks
and the sailors would 20 unfed.
