DESERVES PLACE IN HISTORY
William Billings of Boston Heads the
List of American Composers Of
Music.

Americas first composer Of any note
was William Billings, who was born
in Boston, October z, 1746. In his youth
he was a tanner, but love for music
led him to become a teacher CT sing
ing and a composer Of psalm tunes,
which eventually found their way into
every church choir of New England
and became great favorltes with the
people.
He published no fewer than six col
lections Of tunes, oil founded upon the
new school of religious music then
coming in vogue in England. Their
contrast to the dismal old tunes pre-
viously In use naturally gave them an
immense popularity; and. in fact, they
effected musical revolution in all
the English colonies of America. They
were far from being perfect in melody
and harmony and would be considered
very crude today, but the composer
displayed an originality approaching
genius, and had he enjoyed the educa-
tional advantages open to composers
of today his compositions would doubt
less have possessed a permanent value.

Mushroom ouarries Of Paris.

To the south of Paris, the country is
honeycombed with abandoned quarries,
some of which are of enormous extent,
resembling the shafts of great mines,
being from 300 yards to half a mile in
length and lying from 80 to $50 feet
beneath the surface Of the ground.
In these old quarries are grown
nearly all the mushrooms consumed In
the French capital. Mushrooms -four
ish in these caverns at all seasons, and
they have, in Paris. the reputation Of
being superior in flavor to those grown
elsewhere. The worst enemy of the
mushroom growers Is a species Of fly
that swarms through the dark passages
in such numbers as sometimes to ex-
tinguish the candles Of the workmen.
The larvae of this fly destroy the beds
before the shoots have emerged above
the ground.

Greek Names.

The Greek termination in the six
and seven-syllable patronymics with
which we have been made familiar by
the frequent changes in the cabinet,
Is said to indicate descent. Thus, NJ.
Caloyeropoulas may count among his
ancestors 'caloyer." or at least in a
collateral line. A "caloyer" is said to
be monk Of the order of st. Basil, an
order that exacts four periods of fast
ing each year, the longest of which is
seven weeks. The caloyers have in
the Orient the same reputation for
asceticism as the Benedictines in the

POTATOES RAISED FROM
SEED AT UNIVERSITY
Plants Growing From Tubers Are
Taller, but Seed-Planted Spuds
Have Advantages

University Of Washington-In an eff
fort to restore the old-fashioned pota-
to seed, an experiment is being made
in the university garden. The white
fruiting berry of the potato, which was
found everywhere generation ago
and has now almost disappeared, was
used to plant a patch, and the fruiting
potato plants are being raised.
With them have been planted num-
Der of potato tubers in the usual way,
and the latter have grown much more
than the plants which have de-
veloped from the seeds. The object
in seeking to produce potato seed
again is that crossing of strains can
be secured in this way, leading to a
more wholesome condition of the plant.
When propagation is only by the roots
there is no chance for cross-fertiliza-
ton, and the same strain of potato will
in time give out.
The experiment is being conducted
under the direction of Assistant Pro-
lessor John w. Hotsam of the depart
ment of botany.
