nurtured and cultivated In the civilized en-
vironment Of the temperate zone, it goes with
out saying that 1t is no easy task to duplicate
the conditions which produced the species.
To do SO at all necessitates the construction
of the special greenhouses above mentioned,
with varied equipment, including steam heat
ing plant big enough to heat buildings many
times the size Of these greenhouses.
The lure Of rich reward attracts many dar-
ing and resourceful men to the orchid bust
ness, although may be surmised, the rich
prizes of gold come to the men who discover,
or at least the men who bring back to civiliza-
ton heretofore unknown varieties of this nu-
merous family. The leading firms engaged In
the orchid trade retain at large salaries men
of wide experience whose sole occupation is
to trail the orchid in the almost inaccessible
haunts where there is ever the magnet Of
possible unheard Of varieties to beckon one
forward.
Sometimes an orchid hunter will search for
a year or more, facing the almost intolerable
conditions of an unexplored land in order to
capture in the end some heretofore unknown
variety. During his quest, be it long Short

step; must be ever alert against the hostility

vades; and must risk all sorts of personal mis-.
haps in grasping his prize, even after the quest
has been successful, since most of the rare
orchids of the tropics flourish only at the
tops Of the tallest trees. The hunter must
either climb the trees, or more likely he will
cut them down, but he dare not trust any
hands save his own to undertake the task OF
gathering these fragile flowers.
An energetic orchid hunter will forward
great numbers Of plants, some rare and others
not so rare to the orchid consuming centers
Of Europe and America every year, but 1t is
no easy matter to get the orchids to the coast
after they have been found and wired into
boxes by skillful packers, and on shipboard,

The remedy at least is cheap. 1t

more effort than some men are will

is too common for men to presume
that simply because they are married

The state Of Matrimony is one of

Marius was at first generally cred

period were shaped much like the
modern grand variety. The first square
piano was constructed by FREDERICK

1853. The first genuine upright pi
ano was invented in England and the
