Gases of Longevity.

OF the oldest living people at the
present time is Captain Diamond, who
has Just completed his one hundred
and nineteenth year. He is to be
mentioned first on account of an ex-
traordinary lissomeness. He directs
a gymnastical institute in California.
In Germany there exists a woman.
widow of a clergyman, named Ducki-
wich, in Posen, who has reached her
one hundred and thirty-first year. But
she is very stiff. The Russian sub
officer Budnihow has celebrated his
one hundred and thirty-third birthday
anniversary. In 1912 he fought against
Napoleon. A Russian in Tomsk is
aged one hundred and forty-six years.
He must be the oldest man alive.
Franz Drachenberg, a Norwegian, now
dead, attained the age of one hundred
and forty-six. An English farmer
named Thomas Parr, who died in 1886,
lived one hundred and fifty-two years,
and had lived under ten English rul-
ers. Josef Surrington, who died in
1897 in Bergen, was one hundred and
sixty years old, and had two sons, the
one son one hundred and three years
old and the youngest nine years of
age. An Englishman named Jenkins
died in 1870, at the age of one hundred
and siXty-nine, and when he had
reached one hundred years was still a
champion swimmer. At one time he
had to appear in court to testify con-
cerning something that had taken
place one hundred and forty years be-
fore. He left two sons, who reached
the respective ages of one hundred
and two and one hundred years.

A curious story was related by Mr..
w. ]. Harding King in a lecture on
The Nature and Formation of Sand
Bipples and Dunes" at a meeting of
the Royal Geographical society in Lon
don.
Electrical phenomena in connection
with sandstormS are often very
marked. said Mr.. King, who has spent
seven winters in the Algerian Sahara
and the Libyan desert. "One evening"
he continued, after an unusually bad
sandstorm in the Libyan desert, when
! picked up a woolen buruous and
shook it to get rid of the sand, it
blazed literally all over with sparks,
and when | put my finger near my
blankets drew a spark that | could
very family feel
Il have heard on rather doubtful
authority, of brush discharge about
six inches long on the ears of a camel
during an unusually bad sandstorm
from the south. When this hot south
wind is blowing the air is probably un-
usually dry, and this, of course, would
contribute to electrical phenomena. 1t
is possible that electricity from these
storms may account for the high per-
centage of ozone that Luttel found in
the air of the Libyan desert"

GARDEN NOTES

Sun and wind are apt to damage
some evergreen trees during winter.
These can be protected by building a
triangular frame over them, made Of
light wood, boarded up on two sides.
Fill vacant window boxes with bulbs
ferns or small evergreens.
A few roots of mint taken up from
the garden and planted in shallow
box, placed in the greenhouse, will
give a supply Of green mint all winter.
Mulching consists of spreading ma
mare or litter on the ground under
plants and over roots. Mulching does
not mean to spade the manure or litter
in, nor to put it under the ground.
Manure should be supplied occa.
sionally as a surface dressing under
evergreen and deciduous trees and
shrubs. Apply several inches in the
autumn ana work it into the soil in the
spring.
During the winter flowers and
plants in window gardens and conserv.
Rtories should be watered only in the

The American men and women must

a general decline in health.

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-

from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before

to neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is a source of irritation,

HOW FLORAL NOVELTIES ARE
DEVELOPED
BY E. VAN RENTHUYsEN.

Anyone can cultivate flowers who
has the necessary earth and seed. At
least, anyone can cultivate flowers OF
existing species, but the fad Of the
hour, the work OF creating types, is
very fascinating, and opens a new
world to one who has been taught
how nature works to make all things
different. We who work with her find
much delight in the new thoughts as
we'll as the new creation.
The value Of a novelty depends upon
its popularity or use. 1t is a great
delight to the grower to discover a
blossom which shows a decided ten
dency to break away from established
rules; to show the characteristics of
new type. At once we feel a desire
to help this development by selection
or crossing This consumes time. By
selection the new flower must be al
lowed to develop and seed, and the
other plants destroyed. The seeds,
when planted, must be again selected
and the rogues destroyed.
The rogues in the flower world are
the plants that do not come true, and
they must be destroyed. After the
selection has been made sufficiently,
the type is fixed and the flower estab-
lished
When crossing is done to develop
novelties, two plants are selected for
the parents of the new flower; two
plants possessing qualities which,
when blended, may produce desired
results. These flowers are crossed
and the seeds planted. The plant chill
dren are carefully watched until they
develop and bloom; then selection is
made of the best for further develop
ment. It may be something very
beautiful will develop from the first
cross; perhaps they are commonplace
results only.
The secret in developing novelties
lies in being quick to see possibilities
and then to develop the tendencies dis
played by the flower
