The DaHodil.

Originally the daffodil was known as the asphodel. From this to daffodi was the first verbal transition. The name gradually rounded itself into daf- fodilly-the form adopted by Milton il the beautiful line, "The daffodillies fill their cups with tears" However, be- fore Milton wrote. the flower had come to be generally known as the daffodil and it figures under this name in John Parkinson's Garden of All Sortes of Pleasant Flowers" published in 1929 Parkinson found more variety in the daffodil than in any other flower, near ly hundred kinds being described in his work.-London Chronicle.

Mother Rrook.

After nearly three centuries of use- fitness Mother brook, the first caDal dug in this country, still finds itself utilized to some extent, though the re- quirements which brought it about have long since passed. Its construc- tion was undertaken and completed by the hardy citizens of Dedham, Mass, in 1889, to provide water for mill pur- poses. The artificial waterway was constructed to connect the Charles riv- CT with East brook, covering distance of about mile. It was a great un- dertaking for those days, when every foot had to be eXcavated laboriously by hand, but the work was carried out with the usual determination marking the settlers of the day. The canal winds round the highlands of the town, and on both sides, extending al most to it's border, may be seen well kept gardens.-Exchange

Maqazines on Warships.

If there is one danger that sailors dread more than any other it is an ex- plosion in the powder magazine. To prevent such an occurrence a device for flooding that compartment in the least possible time is fitted to most big battleships. A pipe below the surface connects the magazine with the sea. This pipe is closed by two taps, which are connected with the deck. In case of danger it is only the work of min in through the pipes and flood the mag aZine. The water is afterward drained off by means of a gutter-London Mail
