Gardens to the highest standing in the horticultural and botanical world, a, position which it main- tains to this day.

In addition to many minor functions and duties. the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, have four leading national and Imperial functions to perform:

First - The advancement of botany, or the study of plant, life. As a national establishrnent. Kew stands in relation to botany much as Greenwich does to estranorny. One great task is the botanical survey of the Empire. Studies of the flora of may parts of the Empire have already been completed and published, another task is the Index Kewensls. an alphabetical list of every plant name published. This work is in- valuable as a reference for botanists througihout the world. Information and advice is constantly given to scientific institutions, both in the Empire and in other countriu.

Second - The introduction of new and valuable plants to the colonies. Among the many plants at economic value which have been distributed are: Pineepples, ba- nanas. tee, cotfifee, coca; medi- cines and drugs, such as quinine. coca. chaulmoogra: rubbers, tung- oil, fruit dyes, timbers. and fibres. Perhaps, the most remarkable of these successes was the introduc- tion of quinine to India. and the introduction of Pam rubber to the Malay Penlsula.

Third - As a place of public resort. Over 24,000 species and varieties are cultivated: this fact. together with the attractive ar- rangement of the plants. makes the Gardens a pleasant place for Visitors, not only for the enjoy- ment of the beauty but also for purposes of stud.V-

tF'ourth - As a school of horti- cultum. Horticulturists are trained with the object of fitting them for horticultural and agricul- tural positions throughout the world. Visitors to England this year will see beautiful rock izarden plantings and a wild rose garden with a tall pagoda in the back- ground, slso the Palm House in which are groom plants from all over the world,

In 1861 a Rifle Association Wu formed in Charlottetown for the purpose of target practice. The range was on the site now used by Victoria Roadway. The first shoot took place Aug. 12th. Gover- nor Uundas awarded a silver tro- plw to the winner, Gunner D. McKinnon of the City Artillery. That was before the present drill shed was completed.

Island folk used to believe that if it rained on St. 5within'l Day (July 15) it would rain, more or leas. for 40 succeeding days.

Turning back the calendar to 60 years ago. I note that the aggre- gate catch of oysters for a single season reached 40,000 barrels.

In 1399 the catch had dropped to 14,000 barrels; the value to our fishermen from this sou;-cg alone was 356,500,

Bombarding the clouds with silver iodide is not exactly a new VBY to produce rain. It has been done Only when natural storm conditions prevail. T. P. Klrch predicts that within 10 years rain ma-y be had at any time merely by pushing a button.

Every person has about the same amount of trouble over a period of years. The only difference is that some folks have more time to think about it.

. . o For over 900 years Athoa off the coast of Greece has been occupied and governed by a group of monks. All females are barred from aet- ting foot upon this small oom- monwealth. The 5000 monks and lay brothers who make up Athos' population, live in communities, raise their own food and make their own clothes.

Indeed. Athos is I. little world unto itself. No telephone, tele- gs-mph, radio, newspaper or wheel- ed vehicles break its isolation. Mules are the only means of transportation.

Beavers do not gnaw through trees as most persons believe. The animal's teeth work like an axe, rather than a saw. Or to put it another we, the beaver chips the tree lawn. '

If you don't believe this, just examine the cuttings at the root of a fallen tree. You won't see sawdust, but you will see chips, similar to those left from an axe.

e strange old custom that still persists among the coal miners and the weavers of England and Scot- land is that a "Knocker up” is employed whose duty it is to rep or the bedroom windows of work- men with . long stick until they light lights and arise. A typical "knocker up" in Manchester rides 13 miles every morning on his bicycle to arouse 1m laborers be- tween l and 8 o'clock.
