COAL.

We in New England like to know
 that New England authorities are trying to do something to prevent coal trouble this winter. Last years dabbling with soft coal did not bring it great popularity, but New Eng landers are ready to go to some lengths in the matter of inconveni- ence in order that they may not be imposed upon. For this reason there seems to be bit of wisdom in the suggestion of the joint special coal investigating committee of Massachu- setts that if there is to be any coal strike it is the public's turn to strike and that, it tells operators and min CTS, in the event of strike Septem- Der a permanent boycott against the use of anthracite would be pushed in Massachusetts and perhaps through out New England. It is stated fur ther that plans to have all of the New England states discard anthracite per- manently in favor of low volatile bituminous coal might be laid before the conference of New England gov ernors in Boston, August 23.
 Anthracite is the golden egg which the goose, in the persons of operators and miners, lays There is such a thing as killing that goose. Prob ably it will not be necessary for New England authorities to resort to this boycott, but if necessity keeps on be- ing the mother of substitution, the suggestion of the Massachusetts com mission may set operators and miners thinking.
 News comes from Washington that it looks as though President Coolidge is taking hold of the situation and is much interested. He knows the situation in New England well enough. He knows, probably, that New England consumes about one fifth of all the anthracite produced in the United States The President seems to have indicated that this is the first matter he will take up and that if he calls congress in extra ses- sion it will be only because of the fuel situation. Whatever our politics we cannot help but believe that citizen of this part of the country knowing the need here, would try to do some thing about it were he to be in po- sition of influence. Calvin Coolidge is in that position, It will be inter esting to see if. anything practical comes from the indications of interest and concern that he has already shown.

THE BIG SWIM.

Of course is natural to want to say something about the big swim the 27 hours in the water spent by Henry Sullivan, covering some 56 miles as he swan across the English channel between two points some thing over 22 miles apart. Sullivan is the third man to do it, but he is the first American and it has been a long time since it was done. More over one of the successful swimmers had certain advantages which Sulli- van did not have. Buildings now destroyed protected a certain part of the channel and naturally made the swimming easier.
 While we are at it we might just as well admit grudgingly that Sulli- van is New Englander, coming from Lowell, Mass. He had tried six times to do the trick, but he had never ac- complished it First if you don't suc- ceed try seven times must have been his motto-or try until you do sue ceed. And it isn't a bad motto. It is easy to let the imagination accom- pany Sullivan across that channel, with its tides and cuppy waves. It is easy to imagine that many times the flesh called out to him to stop and give up, and that the spirit. the New England spirit as well as the Amer ican spirit. fought against the flesh. Well, he could do 1t too. And he did. If guess is allowed it might ee that in Sullivan there was less of es dogged determination character

THE TWISTED STALK

While riding over a country road through Winchester, Conn.,, about 25 years ago, noticed strange flower ing plant under the bushes by the roadside, I exclaimed Hold on a minute, there is something which I want" I secured the plant root and all, when one of our party inquired What is it?" replied "I do not know what it is, and that is why l want it." On returning home my daugh- ter, Miss Antoinette Shepard recog- nized it as the Twisted Stalk" Strep- topus amplevifoIius She had never before seen the plant but identified it from descriptions which she had read. The stem or stalk is from four to five inches long, abruptly bent at seven or eight points in zig gag form like a crooked rail fence, the smooth leaves and greenish white bell shaped flow CTS growing from the angles of the stalk. In the published flora of the state, the plant is called rare, or local, Salisbury being the only station re- ported for it. There are three or four species of the genus cultivated in English gardens, having been origin ally imported from North America. Hungary and Nepal. The plant ap- pears to be an insignificant little thing to any but a naturalist.
 I transplanted my specimen in shrub bed near the house where it is still living and where the greenish white bell shaped flowers have come forth from the angles of the stalks each spring for more than 25 years. It is the only plant Of the kind I have ever seen and none of the many per sons who have seen it so far as Il know, had never seen one before. It is the only plant ever grown in my garden that I have never seen dupli- cate of.
