A PROCLAMATION
A national exposition in commemo-
ration Of the achievements Of the Ne
gro race during the last fifty years
will be held I'm Richmond. Va, July
TO 25. 1915. The occasion has been
recognized as Of national importance
by congress through an appropriation
Of S55,OO0 to aid in its promotion and
consummation. This sum is being ex.
pended by the terms Of the appropria.
tion under the direction Of the COVER.
nor of Virginia The exposition is nm.
der the auspices OF the Negro His.
torical and Industrial association. The
action of congress in this matter In
dicates very happily the desire OF the
nation. as well as OF the people OF
virginia, to encourage the Negro in
his efforts to solve his Industrial
problem. The national Negro exposi-
tion is designed to demonstrate his
progress In the last fifty years and to
emphasize his opportunities As pres
ident Of the United States bespeak
the active interest OF the nation in the
exposition and trust that every facil.
ity will be extended to the leaders.
whose earnest work has made the un.
dertaking possible.
In witness whereof. have hereunto
| set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.

mer ferns require three times the amount
OF water that they do in the fall anu
winter.
1t is well occasionally to put ferns in
the bathtub and give them a bath with
weak soapsuds made from a good grade
of soap. The soap must be thoroughly
rinsed of Immediately after the bath
and great care must be exercised not to
injure the tender fronds
One of the worst enemies of ferns in
doors is the mealy bug. This is a white,
woolly insect that clings close to the
bottom of the fronds. When there is
reason to suspect its presence the plant
should be examined every day and all
insects removed with a splinter or tooth
pick. II the infestation is bad, the whole
top of the fern can be cut OF to within
an inch OF the ground and then allowed
to grow again after all the insects have
been exterminated.
Another fern pest that thrives In a
dry atmosphere is the red spider. This
can be kept in check by spraying the top
of the fern with clear water. II, as Is
frequently the case In living-rooms, this
is impracticable, the next best measure
is repeated baths. Washing will also
eradicate the aphids, or green fly.
Ferns should be fed once every two to
four weeks with dilute nitrate OF soda
solution, very dilute ammonia water,
manure teachings, prepared plant food,
or ground bone and wood ashes.

Wyomin gDesert
Once aJUNGLE

THAT palms, figs. magnolias and other
tropical vegetation once grew Iuxuri-
antly on what are now the barren
hills Of Wyoming is proved by fossil
plants found in the enormous coal de-
posits being uncovered there. These trees
and plants doubtless grew in the swamps
of Wyoming when the climate was as
mild as that of Florida is now.
Coal is fossilized vegetable matter. The
tremendous extent of the coal fields indi-
Gates that the vegetation to produce this
great amount of carbonaceous matter
must have been extremely luxuriant. The
hills are now brown and bare; the -four
ishing jungles were long ago turned into
arid deserts.

geological survey that the amount of coal

FIRST AID to
GardenerFound

A BOON for amateur gardeners has
~ been put on the market in the shape
of "seedtape." No longer need en-
thusiastic but inexperienced seekers after
natures bounty be embarrassed by hay-
ing their seeds come up" in punches, or
in discouragingly meager plots. The
"seedtape'' prevents any miscalculation
on the number of seeds to be planted to
the row.
In "seedtape' two long strips Of fish
glue tape are pasted together. Between
these strips are held seeds, spaced regu-
larly at the proper distance. A trench
of the needed length is dug. and strip
Of tape is unwound and unplaced at the
bottom. The earth is filled in, and the
gardeners work is through, except for
watering and wedding. In a very short
time the fish glue rots into the earth and
the seed terminates, well nourished by
the excellent glue fertilizer.

GOIdfieId Richer
Than Tonopah

THE rivalry between the Tonapah and
Goldfeld mining camps seem to have
been definitely settled by the United
States geological survey. Figures given
out recently indicate that Goldfeld leads
with a production of s65,00O,O0O worth
OF gold and silver, while Tonopah has
little more than $50, 600, 900 to its credit
The state Of Nevada, however, can take
credit for s1,25O.00O worth of gold and
silver from the two camps since 1900
The Goldield territory was opened two
years later than the Tonopah district
Considerable copper is even yet being
taken from the concentrates of the Gold,
field mills, while the Tonopah fields are
practically abandoned.
The federal survey on the two fields
reveals that while the deposits in each
were found in what is technically known
as tertiary volcanic rocks, in form and
character they were radically different,
thus disposing once and for all of the
old tradition that the veins were the
same, dipping far down into the bowels
Of the earth between the two camps.

NRESIDENT WILSON'S program for
- greater national defenses calls for
the formation of three aeroplane
squadrons at a cost OF s7,500,0o0, but
before the Presidents program was an
nounced eighteen states had already
begun preparations for the establish
ment Of national guard aero services
One state, New York, had gathered the
nucleus for a naval militia aero corps.
The eighteen states whose national
guards had become interested in the
movement to develop aviation corps were
Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois,
Iowa, Maine, Missouri. Nebraska, New
Jersey. New York, Ohio, Oregon. Okla
homa. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island. Tex
as, Vermont and Wisconsin. New York's
naval militia aviation corps was made
possible through the generosity Of Glenn
H. Curtiss, who donated one OF the latest
models of his 10O-horsepower flying
boats
The movement to inaugurate flying
corps among the state national guards
was fostered by the Aero Club of Amer
lea, through its national aeroplane fund.
DOnatlOnS 10 this tund are turned over
to the national guard of the home state
OF the donor.
Rhode Island probably has been dealt
with the most generously. although
Massachusetts, and New York have both
received large contributions and have
made good starts on their national guard
flying corps.
The Rhode Island subscription list was
started by a donation of $1,000 from a
woman. Miss Lyra Brown Nickerson, of
Providence. Governor r. L. Beechman
followed with a $500 contribution and
the fund was soon raised to s1S,552,
which assures a nucleus for an aviation
corps on the part of the smallest state
in the Union.
The United States government has
taken official cognizance of the move
ment to build up state flying corps by
offering to train the militia aviation
officers at the government aeroplane
stations. In this connection it is in
teresting to note that nine powerful
national organizations, embracing several
hundred thousand members and includ-
ing most of the big men Of the country,
have been at work in the direction of
developing the defenses of the country.

a strong light, although they will
do well without sunlight. They should
be kept moist at all times, but watered

or, on the other hand, permitting them
to get too dry. When the fern is in
