BOON TO B0TAN|STS
Means of Preserving Plants in
Their Natural Beauty.
FLOWERS KEPT FADELESS
Specimens May Be Cured So That
Form and Color Remain
Unimpaired.
Translation in Literary Digest

Translation in Literary Digest.
Many people like to keep mementos
of pleasant camping trips or other ex-
cursions in field or forest. by lakeshore
or seashore, in the shape of rare or beau
tiful plants and flowers. All such enthu-
siasts. well as professional botanists
will be interested to learn the best mod
ern methods of SO curing these speci-
mems as to preserve their beauty oi
form and color almost unimpaired. We
quote the following detailed descriptions
from kosmos tStuttgart. May:
The simplest process for plants of field
and forest consists in impregnating every
part with a naphthalin solution. In a
warm room We rill a large preserve jar
with saturated solution of naphthalin-
benZin, which can be bought at any drug
store. In order TO rid it of the unde-
sirable quality of turning violet and rec
coloring matter into blue, we add &c
every 200 grams of this two drops of a
concentrated solution of salicyic acid
,, in absolute alcohol. Into this solution the
dry stems and twigs of the plants are
dipped. They may be removed i'm few
minutes, as soon as crystallization takes
place, when the whole upper surface is
covered with naphthalin crystals. They
are then hung up to dry in an airy room
and will retain their natural colors per-
manently."
Since this method is not feasible for
large specimens on account of the size
of the jar and the quantity Of solution
demanded, second process has found
favor:
This depends on the quality possessed
by formaldehyde of hardening albumi-
nous substances and changing them into
forms insoluble in water. By means OF
brush, leaves and blossoms are painted
with several coats of - per cen: gela-
tin solution or one of thirty parts OF
egg albumen in seventy parts of water
This coating is thoroughly dried. and
then leaves and blossoms are brushed
with a 10 per cent solution of formalde-
hyde. which causes the coating OF al
bumen or gelatin gradually to harden.
The thicker the coat OF gelatin or albu-
men. the more solid the final coat. which,
however. remains flexible. so that the
plants do not look lifeless. though un-
fortunately the covering is very appar-

Our own state board of health for ex-

The Massachusetts death rate from
typhoid fever last year was IS for every
1000 persons. but in the south for ex-
