The play is unusually pleasing and

This drama Is rather heavy and

in those troublous days when the ma.

often hiring out the noblest and most
glorious characteristics OF men to
counteract the awful tragedies OF war,
the play abounds in the rarest action

MONUMENT TO BRAVERY OF
BELGIANS TO BE ORIGINAL
IRr Axsociated Prsssl

PARIS, FTance.-A monument OF
rather original conception, designed
by Cpl. George Hendrick Of Brussels
and erected by the Belgian army on
the battlefield of the User, will COM
memorate the heroism of the Belgian
soldiers who fell there in defense of
the last little corner of free Belgium.
A massive wall. symbolicaI of the
rampant that opposed the German adj
vance in Flanders, will rise from the
center of the semi-circle of parapets
SO arranged as to recall the trench
life on the User front. Thirty4four
small columns will be erected at the
base of the ramparts To bear the en-
graved names Of men who died on the
User.
A block of uncut stone bearing on
one face the verses that the late poet
Verhaeren consecrated to the young
Belsians who have died for their
country win be placed in the front
OF the wall.
The location of the monument will
probably not be given out for publica-
tion until all danger of Commandments
has passed.

FINDS BUT THREE
NATIVE ORCHIDS

The orchids of the Hawaiian Islands
are described in recent issue of the
Plant World By Vaughan MacGaughey
of the College of Hawaii. He states
that the popular impression that tropi-
cal islands are veritable conservatory
les of choice and beautiful orchids re-
ceives a shock in Hawaii There are
only three orchids in the Hawaiian
Woodlands and these are inconspicH-
Gus and by no means abundant.
One species is restricted to the rare
ly visited summit boys The other two,
although occurring in the lower humid
forests, would easily pass unnoticed
by any save the professional botanist-
Since the first explorations Of the Ha
waiian forests, botanists have repeat.
edly commented fpon the paucity and
insignificance OF the orchid flora.
Recent geological studies of the
Hawaiian Archipelago are placing
great emphasis upon the antiquity OF
this island group. There Is much evi
dence to substantiate the view tina:
the present islands are but the rem
nants of once vastly larger land area
that has almost wholly subsidized be
meath the ocean This is in accord
with the evidence obtained from many
other parts of the great Pacific region.
lit is entirely possible that the Hawai-
ian region was ISOLATED through sub
mergence long before the final burst
of orchid migration anC specialization
in Malaga and the South Pacific.
The habitats anC flowers OF the
three native species are described in
detail. OF one species Professor Mac
Caughey says: The dull green floral
spike is disappointingly mediocre tc
anyone who Is familiar with the beau
tiful fringed orchids of the northeast
ern states" The Hawaiian Twayblade
Liparis, is described as growing chief
~ on the horizontal messy branches OF
! the old trees, and IL humus-fiiied
crotches, and occasionally ON messy
ground in the rain forest. In such
situations i grows not in the sol
proper but in the deEse vegetative GOV

Hawaii has msny beautiful flowers
but among these the orchids make
poor showing, when compared witt
the wealth of orchid hloom in other
tropic isles.
