Liberal provision is made for the re-
production and spread Of this fungus
through four different spore forms,
also illustrated in figure 5. The first,
or microconidia o., are small, color
less spores borne on the mycelium
within the vessels. The second, or
macroconidia Ia, are larger, sickle
shaped, or Fusarium spores and are
borne in great numbers ON oblong
pink cushions on the outer bark OF
the stem after the plant dies and the
fungus grows outward from the YES

lived, but serve to spread the fungus
widely under favorable conditions.
The third form, or chlamydospore (c),

These ascospores are developed in

A writer in one of the Maine ex-
changes seems to be much disturbed
by a report which has come to his
ears and the tenor of which is that
the old battle flags in the rotunda of
the State House ARE to be taken out,
fixed over and placed in the cupola of
the State House." so much disturbed
in fact that he has submitted re-
monstrance in verse. Where he re-
ceived the information that the old
flags We're to be placed in the cupola
of the State Capitol is a mystery,
as nothing of the kind has been pub
lished, nor intended. The intention
regarding the proposed treatment of
the battle flags is that, of preserving
them so that they may be prevented
from further decay. The flags will be
repaired SO far as is possible and re-
arranged in the cases very much as at
present after which the cases will pe
made as nearly air-tight as possible
in order that a circulation of air and
also the settling of dust may be pre-
vented And the writer OF the article
and verses referred to may rest as
sured that the old flags are as sacred
to those who instituted the movement
towards preserving them as they are
to the men who carried or marched
under them.
