achievement for Supt. Byrnes and AL
bert Talbert, the gardener in direct

bloom simultaneously. That is the
most remarkable feature Of this big
show"
A group Of nearly thirty of the Lead

was big crowd waiting at that hour
There has been a steady stream of
hower-lovers all day.
On display are more than 1850
plants. and the blooms range in color
from white to deep carmine. The ma
Jority of the plants ell of which are
from Seeding and result of cross
| ing. are about five years old, but
about 400 are blooming for the first
time this season and have just reach
ed their second anniversary.
The amaryllis, or knights star lily
Is native of Brazil. The parent
plants OF the present show came from
England about n dozen years ago and
grew into the present assemblage as
result OF the close attention of the
department officials. Some Of the
lilies have eight flowers on one stem
and one big red bloom measures thir-
teen inches in diameter.

out the flames on the windward side
while the city fire department cared
for the other.

than the best in their chosen field.

4 SCHEME for

A SCHEME for raising
and roRoaIing the Lusitania
has been concocted by some pro
motors. They are selling stock in
their extremely ambitious ven
ture.
By the sea-law of salvage, if
you could raise the Lusitania from
its ocean grave, it and all its cargo
would belong to you.
In the next few years, and for
centuries, there'lI be many such
schemes for raising ships torpe-
doed during the war.
A lot of cargoes can be rccov-

HISTORY has played strange


tricks on pirates.
Captain Kidd undoubtedly bu-
Ticd many chests of plumber, and
at some time or other every one
Of US has dreamed Of finding
them.
Yet Captain Kidd was not a cut
throat who made his victims
walk the plank. He was a rather
tame, third-rate pirate, finally
hanged for smashing the skull Of
his head gunner with a wooden
bucket.
Like many great characters in
history, he became famous bv
having good press agents after his
death.
WHERE can you find buried
treasure?
As Tom Sawyer said to Huckle

particular places. Eiuck, some

Says He's Happy.

Otto Gregory, in a letter last week
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. 3.
Gregory, tells them of his and Frank
Hill's transferal to the U. S. S.
Aroostook, which sailed from San
Diego on the 9Th instant for Pedro,
Calf, whence they go to San Fran
cisco and on to Seattle, Wash. He
says it starts him for quite new and
interesting life. He is on "real sea-
going aviation ship" filling the posi-
tion of engineer on captains barge,
"a neat, clean little speed boat" Ot-
to says the five months of teaching
and adventure in this target practice
and flying cruise will end his :'child-
hood days" Since being in the navy
he has had lots of thrilling experienc-
es and has seen many new and inter
esting things; among them "a sweet
little red haired, rich girl" to whom
he tells his mother, he has confded,
" as boy far from mother and dad
has to have some one to tell his trou-
bles to-" He says his new life beats
living in a hotel and wearing civilian
clothes. But he got up against it once
with some of the other boys, when
crooks stole their clothes. However
although they didn't get those clothes
back, they had the satisfaction Of
knowing that the crooks had been
caught and jailed. Otto assures his
parents that he is happy, and prom!s-
es to be good and save his money.
