The attraction due to the proximity is increasing. The heat is declining. B‘? January the graph is most er- mic. swinsins up and- down the Dose with violent curves, and this often persists till the beginning oi March. From thence the ossillat- ions oi the instrument gradually moderate, till they again reach the quiet clays oi June.

In this unsteady Dart oi the year, the major calamities oi the World. and more particularly oi the northern hemisphere, now take place. Northwestern Europe is ravaged by gales and by ﬂoods, This continent, as the cold intensi- fies, is subjected to blizzards, coun- tries on the earthquake belts all over the world, experience dig"- trons shocks. The electricity oi the higher atmosphere ls excited and manifests in aurorae, with magne- tic storms on the earth, and dis- ruption oi telephonic and telegra- phic communications. The sun is also disturbed by maculae.

In the southern hemisphere, the approach oi the sun at this period and the inclination oi the earth's axis produce a very diiferent set oi eiiects. It is summer there, short, (because the‘ day; are fewer between the September equinox and that in March) and intensely hot. Hence the droughts in Aus. tralia and South Africa. Because there are more days between the March equinox and that in Beptem ber, their winter is long; and be- cause the sun is farther away, and they are inclined away irom it as well, it is intensely cold. A great expanse oi sea, iofunatcly, tends to modiiy their seasons.

It is fortunate, too, for Prince Edward Island, that its winter sea- son is moderated by its geographi- cal position. We read oi the unto- ward occurrences mentioned in a iormer paragraph, and note the violent L induced in the ba- rometer by them--but we seldom get more than the "backwash." But why do these changes take place? Why does the pressure oi the atmosphere, normally 14 3-4 pounds to the square inch today, "TY I0 ‘hit it presses with less weight tomorrow, and perhaps with more weight the day iollow- ing?

It is well over the half century mark since Lamont and Brown were led, independently of eacli other, to attribute these changes to the electromagnetic icrce oi the sun. But this argues that the iorce oi the sun varies also: and again the question is why! Following this up, it seems res- emsble to ‘suppose that the sun's

chives oi P. E. I. some day. A DOTANICAL EXCURSION

To my lot ialls a gmst deal oi "the trivial round, the common task," but there are times- all too rare- when the monotony oi it is broken. So when Professor R. It. Hurst invited me to an excursion to the "Lake oi Shining Waters’ at Cavendish, I gladly accepted, for the riddle oi the Rumex (Rumi- ces?) had long lain heavily on my mind, and one oi these plants, not hitherto identiiied, was awaiting me there.

Francis Bain, in his admirable work on the "Natural History oi Prince Edward Island" says; "Ru- mex sanguineus is a large red-lea- ved herb growing by streams and used as a salad" Now the trouble is that there is no record at Otta- wa oi R. ssnguineus having been iound in Canada; Gray's Manual is silent about this plant, and Brit ton‘s Manual gives its range irom h‘. Y. to La. Which was correct? There is a runnel leading from the lake at Cavendish, and on its banks grows the plant which in- spircd Bain to write as above. In everyday English it is a “Dock". its leaves are blood-red in spring but are now green- ‘The blades are two ieet long and ilve inches wide and the leei stalks are iilteen in- ches long. The flower stalks are iive ieet high. But it is not Ru- mex sanguineus. it is the Great Water Dock, Rumex Britannia L. We are satisfied oi that.

How do these m!stakes arise Mainly because the older botanni- cal manuals were not accurate. This is ssen by the emendatlons mad; in succeeding editions. And it is harder ior a botanist to re- cognise a plant ﬂower irom s printed description, than it is by comparing it with an authentic herbarium specimen. And such specimens are not come-at-able here.

The three docks listed by Mac- Bwain are (1) Bumex orispus L. (2) R- obtusiiclius L., and (8) R. ssnguineus h, the latter being in- cluded on the authority ot Bain. This must now be revised to read (1) buried Dock, ltumex crlrpus L. var ‘ ngstus Guss. (l) Bitter Dock R. obtusiiollus I... and (3) Great Water Dock 1R. Britannica i’...

Prof. Hurst informs me that he has seen the buried Dock — our commonest speciee- sold in the markets oi Central Canada as "Italian Spinach". When in the County Cumberland, mlgland, I iound the ccttagers using the les- ves oi B. alpinus, as greens in early spring. They gave the plant the peculiar name oi "Easter-ms- giants" which l took to be s cor- ruption. iorm oi the Nonnan- Prcnch ior "Easter eating".

For the boys and girls and the birds too. Two weeks ago I wrote anent ieeding the birds. Don't wait until the birds have decided that there is nothing ior them and. have betaken themselves to the deep woods or gone further to the south. Get them used to the idea. that a meal awaits them — regularly -and they will visit you in the dark days coming" As a. further incentive to this humane practice it is the intention oi The Guardian to hold another “Feed The Birds Contest" and in that case you cannot start too early ii you are to be a suceessiul ,. tor. The prim are to be larger this time and consequently the contestants are expects‘ to iollow the rules more closely than in the past.
