TRUMPET WINES.

When the bignonias are in flower is
a good time to call attention to the
beauty Of the Chinese species grand
fora. It differs greatly from our own
species, radicans. 1t has very large
orange flowers, and probably less
rampant habit of growth. Those
who have knowledge of but the ma
tive one, radicans, should possess
themselves of the Chinese one as well.
The two make good combination.
There is now yellow variety Of
the radicans, aurea, and good thing
it is, too. But it, of course, has the
longer flower tube and the narrower
mouth of the flower than the Chinese,
and 1t is the broad mouth of the Chi.
nese, the grandifora, which makes
the flowers so very conspicuous, to-
gether with Its orange color.
Although very many years since
the Chinese species was introduced
to cultivation, it is not as well known
as it should be, nor is it as abundant.
For the latter reason it has been
grated on the native one to some ex-
tent and this may lead to disappoint-
ment should the graft die out and
the stock take its place. The name
trumpet vine is well given the bigno-
mia, the flowers being trumpet
shaped. Blooming as it does in mid
summer, it is much valued, whether
used as vine or in bush or standard
srapes it is often seen in.--Indians

The Variable Foot.

An investigator in Washington has
recently collected some interesting
facts about the foot, the most widely
used measure of length in both an
cient and modern times. It is de-
rived from the length Of the human
foot, but apparently has varied more
than that portion Of the skeleton can
possibly have done in historic times.
The ancient Welsh foot, for in
stance, was nine inches long, whereas
the Piedmont foot was twenty inches.
In modern times we have variations
from the Spanish foot, Of less than
eleven inches, to the Venive loot, of
more than thirteen inches. Almost
every country has used foot meas
ure of different length Harper's

SOME GOOD LILIES.

"A very beautiful and generally a
good garden lily is L. testaceum. 1t
is of robust habit of growth, possess
ing certain af1nities with L. candi-
dunn, which is one Of its reputed par
ents, and towering away to five feet
or six feet high gives its apricot
shaded flowers in July. 1t is dis
tinct and good lily in every way, and,
being fairly cheap, should be found
in every garden. Like l.. candidum,
L. testaceum is also an early riser,

the very handsome L. Hansoni, we
have trio diff1cult to equal for earli-
ness, distinctiveness, vigor and good

rare postmark. Rare it will be If in

seems that during the now historic

ground, and all letters there posted
bearing the ordinary French stamps

The marking stamp was hexagonal,

no doubt, be curiosities. Time will
tell whether they will be sought after

have fetched just as high a sum as

to be important factors in equalizing

EARTH CAN'T GET
MESSAGES FROM MARS.
Johns Hopkins Professor Points
TO Many Difficulties Surrounds
inc the Project.

Or. j. IA. Anderson, professor or
astronomy in the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity, III giving his views regard
ing the statement made by Professor
William Henry Pickering, Of Har-
ward, that the planet Mars can be
communicated with by set OF mir
rors, said:
II really do not think that PROBES.
sor chickering's statement has been
received in the light that it was in
tended. AS it stands, 1t is perfectly
plausible, but as for the actuality Of
ever communicating with the planet,
as M. Camille Flammarion says, that
is another question.
ut is highly possible to construct
an arch Of sufficient intensity to con-
vey a beam of light to Mars. A light
as strong as that Of the sun would
carry to the planet, so that If we can
construct reflector strong enough
to send sunlight in its original
strength through the heavens, the
problem so far will have been solved.
Whether or not there would be
anybody or any form of life on the
star to signal us back again Is an
other question. There is certainly
no evidence now of any such fact.
While the theory Of the planet being
habitable is generally accepted,
whether it is inhabited has never
been solved, and at present there are
no indications that it will be solved,
at least in the near future.
"Supposing the planet is inhabited,
although the concensus of opinion
here is negative, is it logical to sup
pose that the Martians would be
ready to take or notice a message
just at a time corresponding to that
when it was sent from the earth? AS
is well known. Mars is practically the
only planet that shows any signs of
being physically habitable. 1t has an
atmosphere Of its own, and, more
over, is capable of being studied,
which cannot be said of Venus, which
Is even closer to the earth. That
planets face is never seen, being COW
cred with dense clouds. 1t IS not
known what the temperature of Mars
may be, or whether or not it would
support life. Professor Everett Low
ell, director Of Lowell Observatory,
has done much work on the study Of
Mars, and has reached the conclusion
that it is both habitable and in
habited.
"This is question which may be
solved in the future, but so far as
Professor chickering's recent state
ment goes, will say again that /
think it has been taken to mean more
than its author intended, exceeding
the scope Of its patent plausibility."
