START CAMPAIGN FOR
VACANT LOT GARDENS.
american Civic Association Would
Utilize Waste Land.

a feature of particular interest in
connection with the annual convention
OF the American Civic association
winch was held in Washington. Dec.
IL. II and 15, was the outlining of q
program for what will be known as
the vacant lot gardens campaign.
upon which much of the attention of
the associations workers will be con-
centrated during the ensuing year. An
illustrative example of the civic bet
terment which may be secured through
the cultivation and Identification of
vacant lots in cities was offered to the
convention delegates in an address bv
Leroy j. Boughner of Minneapolis. Mr..
Boughner had an important place in
the program of the session, which was
devoted to discussion of The Com
munities We Live In
This club in 1911 had planted In vege-
tables and flowers 800 vacant lots, or
approximately 2,225.OOO square feet. of
which 100000 square feet were plant
ed to vegetables. The city was divid-
ed into six districts, about sixty gar
dens to a district, and each district
was in charge of an assistant garden
er furnished by the Minnesota farm
school. Each Individual having a va
cant lot garden thus received careful
instruction in gardening An idea of
the extent OF the work will be offered
in a statement showing that the club
gave out $4,000 cabbage and tomato
plants on May %. and there also were
given out on May II $4,000 packages
Of nasturtium seeds. So great was the
stimulus to gardening in the city that
the stores in the same season sold
10000 packages of nasturtium seeds,
and 1t was estimated that fully 25.OOO
to 10000 homes were decorated with
these plants. most Of which were In
bloom by July |. With the Garden
club acting as intermediary every va
cant lot on Hennepin avenue. one OF
the principal thoroughfares of Mime
apolis, was cleaned and planted to
grass and flowers. About 600 vacant
lots in other parts Of the city were
cleared of rubbish. Twenty thousand
feet frontage of vacant lots were
screened with sunfiowers or other
bushy plants. Through the influence of
the Garden club. too. hundreds Of pri-
vate individuals were inspired to cult
vate vacant lots. and summary of
the year showed 1000 vacant lot gar
dens under the control of the club. of
an area of $50 acres, and $4,000 home
gardens. of an area Of 1000 acres. 1t
was shown by Mr.. Boughner that the
total cost of all the cleaning, seeds, in
struction, supervision and machinery
was $4,000. while with the experience
gained the same work could be duph-
Gated for 81 800.

When "LIoyd's" Was Coffee House.
The man who gave his name to the
great maritime institution, Lloyd's,
was not as might be supposed. finan-
c1er or shipowner, but only a humble
coffee house keeper. Of his history
nothing is known save that he kept
coffee house in Lombard street at the
beginning of the eighteenth century,
which, from its proximity to the Royal
Exchange, came to be favorite assem-
bling place of the underwriters. The
first mention of his house occurs in a
poem, 1.-THE Wealthy Shopkeeper," pub
Hshed in 100:
Then to Lloyd's coffee house to go he
never fails
To read the letters and attend the sales.
In ITO Steele dated some numbers
of the Taller from Lloyd's, and Addi-
son also makes mention of the coffee
house in the Spectator.-London Chron-

Elyinu Fish,

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
In number from a dozen to hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darling through the air In the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
flight Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining
upon his prey. which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape,
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power OF
fight is limited to the time the fms re-
main moist.
