Substitute for Grass.

An interesting experiment in horti-
culture was made some time back at
the garden laid out at the site of the
King Edward VII. memorial statute In
Delhi, India. In order to ensure a
green surface at the time Of the stone
laying ceremony, meth" (trigonella)
seed was sown when the grass was
planted. The meth" sprang up in
about a month and maintained green
surface throughout the cold weather,
which could be smoothly mown and
did not interfere with the growth of
the grass. The ground was allowed to
get dry at the beginning of the hot
weather, and within a week the
meth had died out, leaving good
lawns in its place. The METH be-
longing to the order OF "Leguminosae,"
acts as manure and leaves the soil

Floating factories have become an
important part Of the development
OF the forest resources of India. In
certain parts of the country forests
are only accessible through the water.
courses, and the great expense Of
erecting land plants for the utilization
OF the lumber resources makes such
a course impracticable. Therefore
sawmills and other manufacturing
establishments are built on floating
platforms and moved up the streams
as they are needed.
After the lumber is prepared in a
sawmill 1t can be packed in a way
that makes transportation much more
economical than any system OF log
ging. Plants for the preparation of
tannin extracts have also been estab.
lished in this manner. The plants are
built on fiat boats. 200 feet long by
q feet wide, capable Of carrying a

While the passion for bead en-

tameness in the equisite silk embroid-

more attractive, but a chance for

favorite colors are to be pale tones of
blue, pink, mauye, saffron, with al
ways an admixture of black, which
gives effect to the rest For instance,

broidered in spring tints of palest GRO

boys were sunfowers, bachelors but

chrysanthemums. Jack in the Pulpit
and Johnny Jump Up were also repre-
scented. Crepe tissue paper and cheap
gauzes, tinsels and cambrics entered
largely into the construction of the
costumes worn.
Soap bubbles occupied the first part
of the afternoon, the tennis court be-
ing the place selected for the contest.

boys famed them over the net; the
opposite side tried TO keep the bub-
pies from going over, The side get
