SOME LONG.VANISHED PLANTS
Flora Which FIourished Millions Of
Years Ago In America Described
in Government Report.

The area known as the Mississippi
embayment is lOw-lying region which
has alternately been submerged and
emerged since the CretaceOus time
known as the Age of Reptiles, over
100000 years ago. 1t embraces
roughly 1900 square miles.
In past geologic ages this region
doubtless furnished congenial habitats
for several thousand specific types of
plants of which we can never hope to
know more than small number. Near
ly all these types have irrevOcably
vanished and this vast area is tenanted
today by an entirely new set of plants.
The United States geological survey,
department of the interior, has recent
ly published a scientific report by Il.
w. Berry, describing some of these
lOng-vanished plants the fossil remains
of which are found today in many of
the rock formations. The report gives
systematic description of more than
800 species, in what is known as the
Wilcox and Midway formations.
The Wilcox fora is made up almost
entirely of plants that lived along the
ancient coast, on the strand, among Ia
gOOns and sand dunes. The physical
conditions under which the plants lived
are discussed, and conclusions are
drawn regarding the climate of the
EOcene period compared with that of
today in the same region:

Romance Of q Statue.

OF all Robert Burns statues scat
tered over the world, one of the finest
and the one with the most romantic
history, is that in Washington park,
Albany, N. Y. . 1t is the work Of q
local artist born of English parents,
but the cost was betrayed by an &C.
centric and close-flsted old maid, Mary
Mcpherson, who, with her false hair
and the gay colors and fine clothes In
which she arrayed her weary old body,
was an object Of ridicule to the
thoughtless youth Of the town.
She put aside her gaudy clothes only
when she went into mourning for her
father and brother. From them she i'm
herited considerable fortune, and,
through the persistence of two old
Scottish friends of her father, she was
induced to leave the greater part of
$4,000 for the erection Of q worthy
memorial TO the poet of her native
land. Albany, which used to make fun
of "poor Mary Mcpherson" is today
proud of her.

the treatment of manure a water ex-
tract of the hellebore is prepared by
adding one-half pound of the powder
TO every ten gallons of water and
after stirring 1t is allowed to stand "a
hours.
The simple and effective stock
mixture thus prepared is sprinkled
over the manure at the rate of ten
gallons to every eight bushels (ten
cubic feet) of manure. From the re-
suit Of II experiments with manure
piles treated under natural con-
ditions it appears that such treat
ment results in the destruction Of
from SO to 90 per cent Of the fly
larvae.
Another chemical found to be even
more effective as larvicide Is
powdered bOrax. The best results are
obtained when the borax is applied
in solution, or when water is sprinkled
on after the borax has been scattered
evenly over the filth. Borax Is not
only effective in killing the larvae Of

tion which prevents them from hatch
ing.
"Antf1y crusades have been very
numerous in recent years, and some
have been Noteworthy both as to
methods and results. However, 1t Is
not amiss now to emphasize the i'm
portance of concerted organized ef-
fort on the part Of whole communi-
ties, not only cities. but suburban
and rural neighborhoods as well. BY
the most painstaking care one may
prevent all fly breeding on his
premises, but it will avail him little
if his neighbors are not equally care
full. Some sort Of cooperation is
necessary. One Of the first and most
important elements in any antif1y cru
sade is a vigorous and continued edu-
cational campaign to bring the people
to a realization Of the dangers from
flies and the possibility Of getting rid
Of them"

The need for a unityof all classes and interests of America dur

It has been difficult for all classes, some q them bitterly antag-

choice of sides in any controversy by springing arbitrarily to the
side opposite to that taken by a certain other political camp. This
profoundly rooted feeling, we feel sure. and this alone, has re
