The largest of all the flowers of the
world is said to be the Rafnesia. a
native Of Sumatra, so called after Sir
Stamford Rafnes. This immense
cower is composed of five round
petals of a brickish color. each meas.
uring foot across These are cover
ed with numerous irregular yellowish
white swellings.
The petals surround a cup nearly a
foot wide. the margin OF which bears
the stamens. The cup OF the Raffesia
is filled with heshy disk, the upper
surface OF which is covered with pro-
jections like miniature cows horns.
The cup when free from its contents

flower weighs about fifteen pounds and
is very thick, the petals being three
quarters OF an inch.-Scientifc Ameri-

Very often residents of my home

a party of French emigraRts in the

JOHN BURNS, N. p.
Quick to Gain the Ear Of the House

A change began to come over John

preventative on the council, and his
experience, sanity and good humor
quickly made themselves felt.
He proved himself an indefatigable

4 TEST or SOUND BUSINESS
CONDITIONS.

The most diaunRuishing character
iatic 81 the business OF the United
States in 1911 was the small amount
of speculative operations. Speculation
consists In discountlng expected fu-
ture developments. whether In the
markets for securities and commodl-
ties, In railroad construction, IN build
ing operations ia the great manufac-
turing industries, in the wholesale
ana retail merchandise trade. or In
farming.
In al these lines OF activity there
was less speculation in 1911 than in
many previous years. Business sot-
tied down on a supply and demand
basis. Farmers. 90 a greater extent
than usual. marketed their crops ac-
eording TO their needs instead OF
holding for higher prices. Merchants
carried only such stocks OF goods as
would supply tho ordinary demands
OF their trade. Railroads undertook
no more development than was pec~
essagy TO maintain their equipment
for the current volume Of traffic.
Real estate owners % a greater ex-
tent than usual contracted with ten
ants before building instead OF put.
ting up the house and then seeking
for an occupant In the great spec
ulative markets there has been an
extraordinary shrinkago IN opera
tions for gamblers profits
Tho REASONS Ter this general de-
crease In speculative operations are
numerous and intricate. The substan-
tial elimination OF speculative feat
ures from business has served the
valuable purpose OF Rffording a test
OF the fundamental soundness OF gem
eral financial and trade conditions.
The result has been entirely satisgac-
tory. With business down on rock
bottom basir. the general volume has
shown only slight shrlnlg te from
that Of previous years.
The lesson Of the experience Is
plain. With a period Of rest from ex-
panslon, during which the minimum
copsumlBg demand OF the country
has been proven to be almost equal
e existing equipment, a solid basis
r. established for a renewal of ACTIVE
ity 10 keep up with the inevitable
growth In the demand for commodl-
ties and for service.
The evidence Is clear that the coun-
try Is ready for another forward
movement in trade and industry and
IN the development OF us vast re-
sources.
