ter cleared during the preceding season.

An organization has been recently eff
fected with the object Of conducting a
complete scientific investigation and ex-
ploration of the Pacific ocean and its
institution will be devoted to ethnOlogy,
the geology and configuration of the
region will also be investigated. and
studies in zoology and botany will be
currents. with a view Of throwing light
on the distribution of animals, plants
and of the human race. Expeditions are
to be dispatched in specially equipped

years may be needed for the work.
the battle which has been waged
against the water hyacinth. which chokes
up many of the rivers of the southern
part of the United States. the matter
has been complicated to serious degree
by the fondness which cattle exhibit for
this plant. 1t is almost without food
value, but there is something about it
which attracts the animals, and they
have been known to be lured to death in
the efforts to secure the hyacinth. Only
one method has been discovered to eradi-
cate it. and that was by the use of pow
erful acids which were sprayed upon
the plant and which were very effective
in killing it. but this application was the
mails. and the practice was discontinued
by act of Congress. In the last two
years Investigations have been conducted
by the government in the enort to dis
cover some means of making this appi-
cation in such a manner as to over
come the danger to cattle, but 1t has
been without success. 1t was found that
the cattle could not be prevented from
eating the sprayed plants and that all
effective compounds for the purpose were
deadly to the cattle. Under the existing
circumstances the only manner in which
the growth Is combated is by cutting it

NEW YoRK's OLD CHURCHES.
Critic Does Not Consider Them
Worthy of Preservation.
From Vogue.


New York is having revival OF an
cestral pride. and we have protested loud
ly against the removal of st. Johns on
Varick street. 1t is amusing to hear 1t
called an ancient churchill is hardly
more than 100 years old. The Middle
church, which was used for years as a
post office, was twice its age. and in
architecture much more representative,
and yet it was pulled down without pro-
test We have really no old churches. st.
Paurs has hardly seen a century and a
half. and Trinity was built on the site OF
older edifices in the late forties. There
is an article in one of the Putnam's maya
zines on the New York churches. 1t is in
a bound volume which / inherited from

Spring in the South.

From the New Orleans Time democrat
In the southern country the dividing line
between season and season is not so
sharply marked as in the north. Here
piant-life commonly remains green dur
ing the winter months and. unless in
some exceptional season, there are few
days when one cannot gather a bouquet
from the garden-yiolets, sweet olive.
roses, scarlet geranium, rose geranium
and the snowy poinsettia. But though
the sun may beam mildly warm i'm the
blue, the flowers be in bloom and the
grass green, 1t is not spring. Still the
sky shines coldly red at sunset and the
touch of frost is in the wind. whose voice
has yet the wailing tone OF winter.
But when the wind begins to sigh in
capriciously, the languid softness OF
spring steals into the air Day closes In
a glory of saffron-colored light that sheds
long, web-like trails OF radiance across
the land. A glittering network seems
caught about the leafless trees. each bare
branch tip turned to a spike of gold.
With the opening of the windows away
fly the quiet and seclusion that belong
to the cold months We hear, with a
sorority startling at first. all the out-of-
door noises of work and play. There are
certain small sounds which belong to
spring, such as the restless buzzng OF
the dirt-dauber seeking location for his
mudhouse; the sleepy drone Of the car
penter-bee and the calling cry, low and
plaintive, Of the cage-bird.
