Germans, Giant Periscope.

One of the most interesting Of the
devices which have been produced dur
ing the war to amplify the range Of
human vision is n giant periscope
which the French captured from the
Germans, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. With this equipment an oh
server need not seek out some tall
tree or high tower from which to spy
on the enemy, for this collapsible steel
mast can be reared at any desired
point In few minutes. At It's upper
end are a conical tube and lenses by
which horizontal light rays are defect
ed downward to the observer stationed
below. The apparatus is strongly
built and the carriage is so made as
to form wide spreading base. Sup
ported by the carriage alone, the mast
can be raised to a height of 80 feet.
Wher IL is extended to its full
length. which is so feet. guy ropes are

Annual Varieties.-These include the

in a rather cool, moist soil. The seed

they are quite us pretty and c0nve-

Campanula Is a genus comprising
both perennial, biennial, and annual
Towering plants. These fine old plants
are rich in color, profuse in bloom.
and of easy culture. For outdoor eff
fects, when planted in quantity. they
are glorious, and finest full-blown
specimens of such varieties as caly-
canthema or Canterbury bells can be
transplanted to pots for house decora-
ton by soaking the soil about them
with water and lifting with ball of
earth. The seeds of the ANIMALS should
be sown in April or early in May. The
seeds of biennials should be sown out
doors early in July, and the plants
may be thinned or transplanted TO
temporary quarters as late as Octo-
Der.
The old practice of covering Canter-
bury bells with leaves through the win
ter is not satisfactory. Transplant
them or inches apart in a cold
frame, where they will make large

LARKSPUR
CNelphinirml

Blue Is a comparatively rare color
among our cultivated plants. and for
that reason the delphinium, which
shows this color in great variety, Is
particularly valuable. The brilliant
fiower-spikes can be seen from a dis
lance and are strikingly effective in
beds or masses, in borders. shrub
berries, or in combination with white
lilies or other plants where high con-
trast is desirable. The tall sorts
should be planted among shrubbery or
used as background for other low
growing plants whose bloom will pro-
duce pleasing contrast with the
larkspur. The dwarf types are better
suited for bedding and for low borders.
improvements are continually being
made in the size of the flowers, as

FOXGLOVE
(Digitaiis)

The tall fiower-stems of the fox
gloves are particularly attractive when
seen growing among Shrubbery or in
bold masses along walks or drives.
AS background for lower-growing
plants the foXgloves are also very use
full and interesting. The spikes are
frequently a foot or more in length
and thickly strung with many snowy,
thimble-shaped flowers. Some of the
new sorts rival glOxinias in shadings
and markings.
Plants may be grown from seeds
sown in the open in May and the seed
lings transplanted where they are to
grow in the open or, preferably, to q
cold frame. where they make extra
