tured by the frosts of winter and
awakened into activity by the warmth
and moisture of spring. The morels
are so characteristic in appearance
that when they are once Identified it is
an easy matter to recognize them ever
after And, as none of them Is known
to be poisonous or disagreeable, they
form one of the safest groups for the
beginner to collect
On examining a specimen two parts
are noticed-a hollow stem Of varying
slenderness, supporting at its apex "A
head or cap fthe pileusl, covered with
wrinkles or ridges. These ridges
branch and unite, thus forming pits of
varying shapes and sizes The spore
bearing layer, or hymenium, covers the
sides of these ridges and is thereby
largely Increased in area Under a
compound microscope a thin section
through one of the ridges shows the
hymenium to be composed OF slender
spore sacks (asci) standing side 10y side,
like blocks IN pavement. As the
sport bearing layer natures the pres
sure becomes great enough to rupture
the exposed ends of the ascl, when the
spores are quite forcibly expelled. The
spores, usually eight in each aseus, are
mostly of an ocher yellow color when
seen in a layer on white paper. They
may be readily obtained from mature
specimens 10y placing the cap on white
paper and covering with paper conc
or box for few hours
The close resemblance OF most Of
these species enables the beginner to
recognize them all the more readily as
a group. and, as the species Is equally

need to hesitate when the exact species
is not recognized.

YOUGHIOGHENY.
The Proper Way of Proneuncing ThiH
indian Name.

Perhaps the most difficult geograph-
teal name III the United States is
YoughioEheny, or geny, as it Is some
times spelled. tie name Of "A creek IN
western Maryland and pennsylvania.
Few besides natives Of the region pro
nounce 1t with the chief accent on the
penultimate and who so essays 1t with
the accent elsewhere finds his mouth
filled with a meaningless confusion OF
vowels and consonants. The first syl-
liable is "Yough," pronounced "Yo,'
with a short %" The second Is u
short, the 20" following Is almost II
not quite unheard in the mouth OF the
native, while the last two syllables are
those made familiar In Allegheny
though there is even here question of
"a" long or "e' short.
The pronunciation Of Ioughiogheny
Is, however. a simple matter with the
modern spelling compared TO what II
must have seemed to the stranger who
met 1t with the old spelling. On an
ancient map OF the region the name is
spelled "YoghyyoyghFauIa.9 Doubtless
this spelling came nearer than that
now in use to indicating APPLY the In
