Patient ToiIers.

MUCH has been written of the wonS
Az derful patience of the monkish
scribes of the middle ages, who were
willing to devote an entire life to
copying and embellishing q single
book. The field of modern science is
full of effort that is equally pro-
longed, equally painstaking, and in
numerous cases equally obscure. In
the great observatories Of Europe and
America there are men who are
spending their lives in entering in big

which our descendants centuries hence
shall be able to calculate the preces-
sion of the eQuinoxes.
1t has been said that perhaps the
most monumental life tasks of the
last hundred and twenty-five years
have been in the domain of botany,
fatigabIe scientists have undertaken
to make q fora each Of his own
country. In these works we shall
have not merely list of all the
plants Of a country. but a full aor,
count and description OF every plan
Some idea OF such a task may bS
illustrated by one or two special
cases. The italian flora that Prof.
Filippo Pariatore began in 1s4s was
not completed until 1894. But it was
not completed by Pariatore himself;
he had long since gone to his reward.
Prof. Teodor Caruel finished the work.
In this country Prof Asa Gray. dis
tinguished American botanist, began
the Flora Of North America" At
about his twenty-hfth year. The
arst number appeared in 1898. Gray
died in 1888. and the work was only
about half finished. During the fifty
years that Gray toiled in this work
his task was never interrupted for
more than q brief period.
Sir Joseph Hooker began the Flora
Of British India" something over sixty
wears ago. Ono volume OF 1t remsins
to be finished. Martins "Flora od
Brazil" was begun in 1876. and is still

ist, died before he was able to c4,1
