gate Vas the principal and almost the
only entrance to C%hautauQua, and It
will be remembered for its natural pic
turesque beauty by every one who has
visited the assembly during the past
forty-two years. More recently, since
the development Of the electric railway
and since the automobile has become
SO important a factor, the roadgate has
received the larger share Of visitors,
yet it has had nothing to suggest the
real character Of Chautauqua. 1t has
been like the railroad approach to
many a town, a back door entrance,
crowded and comfortless, without char.
acter or convenience.
The change in the highway and troll
ley line has made available to the In
stitution a tract about 1000 feet long,
varying In width from 10 to 300 feet,
or nearly thirteen acres, and brings the
total area within the enclosure up to
about 200 acres. The new section is laid
out into eighty eight lots and into park
ing. The lots thus made available for
lease are somewhat larger than the
older Chautauqua lots. Two Of the
new streets formed are named Harper
and Massey avenues, to commemorate
services to Chautauqua by Dr.. William
r. Harper of the University Of Chica-
60 and the Massey family Of Toronto.
In this extension about two acres have
been added to the present playground
park, and the natural beauty Of a
stream and rav1ne at that point will be
enhanced by planting trees and shrubs.
A plaza year the station has also been
reserved for park use. The planning
of this addition has been done by
George Y. Skinner, a specialist con-
nected with the New York firm Of
Samuel Parsons G. Co., landscape archi-
tects.

The Packard Estats at c~hautauqua.
The first really %pretentious country
estate to be built on Chautauqua Lake
has been laid out By Mr.. William d.
Packard Of Warren, o., q member Of
the Packard Car Company, on a large
tract adjoining the Institution grounds
on the north. Landscape work has
been under way all winter. Mr.. Pack
ard is the son of the late Warren d.
Packard, one of the pioneer summer
residents Of Chautauqua Lake and one
Of those influential in the development
Of Lakewood several years ago.
The property which Mr.. Packard
has bought lies between the Chautau-
qua Traction Company's line and the
lake and along the north boundary Of
the Chautauqua Institution enclosure.
Prom this particular point there Is an
unexcelled view from Mayville on the
north to Long Point IN the south. and
It is undoubtedly one Of the most de-
sirable residence sites Of tho entire
lake region.

Several rains have fallen here the
past week, in all a little over an inch,
and it has been of great assistance
in many ways. However a portion of
this district was visited by a heavy
hail during the shower on Tuesday
which did considerable damage. In
spots the damage was very heavy, but
in most places only a ten to twenty
per cent loss is reported. The rains
extended almost all over this section
and will be big help to the dry land

Ribbon "White Elephant"

Three yards of silk ribbon are the
latest contribution to the conscience
fund. And thereby a great problem as
to how to cover the value into the
United States treasury has arisen.
The contribution seems something of
a white elephant, the Washington Star
says.
Probably the ribbon will be sold to
the highest bidder at public auction
and the amount realized covered into
the treasury. The value of the ribbon
cannot be judged and the prospective
amount of the credit to the conscience
fund cannot be established. The rib
bon is about four inches wide, vari-
cOlOred and Of exquisite heavy quail
ity.
The envelope containing the ribbon
was postmarked Paterson, n. j. There
was no message inclOsed, the package
being addressed simply to "The Con-
science Fund, Washington, d. c." 1t
is presumed that the ribbon itself was
smuggled in and is now surrendered.

DandeIions viii Be Popular.

Dandelons will yet become popular
as an article Of diet with the people.
They have always been so abundant
that they have not been appreciated.
Now some eastern canning establish
ments are advertising for dandelions
to can. They are about to be put on the
market, as a staple article of food, to
be had at any time Of the year. If
they are so good for factories to can,
they are also good for the home gar
dener to can. Our schools are now
teaching the science of canning, which
will be a help in making the dande-
lion green available. One Of the great
advantages in favor Of this vegetable
is that 1t is extremely hardy. 1t grows
as far north as the shores of the Are
tic ocean. Some of the seed houses
carry dandeion seeds. Anyone, how
ever, can gather his own seed, and it
should prove interesting to experiment
along the line Of raising dandeliOns
from native seed on very rich ground
and under garden conditions.
