The other day I saw some

gigiiificent specimens of Lilium

erise. 1t is the only member g the genus Lillum found grow- wild as far north as New arunswick. This group oi lilies (I mixture) had been brought from gum and planted by the side oi “uni-private road, in a suitable imation. Their owner had tried to t them by a neat sign-board the public not to injure the puts; but "man's first disobedi- m" is still with us and some ill- [lqjosed person had broken off m oi the stalks, and taken away lie flower-spike. The two left un- ed were close upon seven feet , and thirty-three blooms, fully irpaiided. were counted on one aallr. They were of a deep yel- l" oolor, and pendulmis, but piroely reflexed: they had a kind Ii formal appearance. reminding be oi the rows of bells round a ﬁhingse pagoda; u, companion lik- tned them to a chandelier. But litre was no question oi their at- tractiveness, and I am sorry I igiinot see my way clear to reveal- hg their locality.

lcptosyne "Golden Rosette" is a double form of the old L. still- miini, and quite an. acquisition imong thr- garden hardy annuals. [raised mine in a box and planted them out in June. since we have a iliort season. This answered light and now the plants are in ﬂower: the color is a fine bright huttercup yellow, and as the [lower-stalks are long, the Golden Iioietie la very satisfactory for hitting. fdon't care so much for "Oranst Shaggy" Cnlelndula, another i931 novelty. Each petal has four little points at the tip, which give the flower a rather shaggy appearanoli this, though not very exciting, is I ‘break’ which may lead to some- thing better. Meantime a apod louble flower of "Orange King” Dilendula. is "bad to beat" as the llorthumbrians say. "Orange Marc" ibsmos is making great growth hit with no signs oi blossom: it bust be a late variety.

our tree-swallows disappeared on llie 17th oi July. This is early for l-hem to leave; was it the heat "W. the lack of water (the brook lﬂlilg dry> or the lack oi mos- lllltoes, which has hastened their iieparture?

Did my readers notice (in Notes by the Way) that the Touch-me- not plant was the remedy for p915- on Ivy? I recognized the plant by the description oi its “explosive" seedpod. which it touched scatters its seed. Botanists know this plant

ias the Jewel-weed but few know ‘of its soothing qualities. When tone is smarting from contact with ,P°l-50Il IVY. the Juicy stems of the Jewel-weed must be rubbed on till the skin looks iodized. and after a time (half a day or so) the smart- ing will disappear. The Jewel- weed is to be looked for in moist places. on the banks oi streams. and so on.

,The other day I was down to the shore, and saw, lying on the sand, a shapeless transparent mass about four inches across. It was a “jelly-fish" which had been cast up by the wind and waves. Apart from its blubbery repulsive- ness, the consensus oi opinion is that a jelly-fish is too insigniﬁcant a creature to ba worth a second thought. Nevertheless it has a wonderful life-history as biologists have shown. The adult. Jelly-fish discharges fertilized eggs, which sink to tho seafloor where the young hatch out and anchor them- selves to whatever is handiest. At this point they are small, pear- shaped bodies, but they soon ex- tend in a remarkable fashion, with rings oi tentacles, one above the other, till at last they look like a pile of saucers with airinge around each. ‘rhisis known as the stro- bila. stage of the jelly-fish.

All this time the uppermost fringe of tentacles reaches out for food; Hlnuts creatures which the tentacles convey to the central mouth. As the strobila grows, the "saucers" break away in their turns, turn upside down and ﬂoat away as free jelly-fish. with eight radiating forked arms. Growth goes on. the space between the arms fills up with transparent "ﬂesh" and finally the mature Jelly-fish i ommences the cycle of existence. The British jelly-fish measures about six inches across, and to the amateur naturalist it appears to be the same species as is found in the waters round P. E. Island.

A reader inquires whether any deer inhabited the Province in old- en times. Bays Francis Bain, in his "Natural History of Prince Ed- ward Island": "The Elk or Moose Deer. is not now found on the Is- land, but as its antlers are some- times picked up in our waste lands it probably once ranged here as it now docs on the adjacent con- tinent." Other animals, now ex- tinct, which roamed the Island 111 pioneer days, were the Black Bear. the Otter, the Martin, and the wild Cat or Lynx. Foxes, too, were once troublesome as wild creatures. and were ahot or trapped: While Wolves were sometimes winter visitors. crossing on the ice from the mainland. The Walrus (local- ly "Bca-cow") was once abundant but is now so scarce that but one jug been captured in the last quar- ter- of a century.

The most common cause of "wormy" EDDIE-s is a. whitish or pinkish ilﬂlﬁfpl-llar with a. brown head measuring about 3-4 of an inch lone when fully grown. 1f. is known Bs the codling moth 0r apple worm. It is usually found feeding around the core and on the seeds of the ﬂ-Pillcs. its excavation being defiled by l mass of excrement loosely webbed together with silk. A worm inhabited apple is often marked by a mass of brown excrement at the blossom end. When ready to leave the apple the caterpillars bore dllﬂlly out u; the cheek leaving by a circular exit hole, after which they seek a suitable shelter such as under a piece of loose bark, a crack or crevice or sometimes in fruit warehouses or similar situa- tions, when they spin a tough silk- lined cocoon in which they pass the winter.

Aran Island (off Donegal), and the other near Connemara in Gal- way. The boys in both pictures are dressed iii short coats and Pellll-‘Oﬂl-s; the Islanders wear real Tam O'Shanters, the Connemara boys wear caps. Some of these boys were l2 years old, and why do you suppose that they were wearing the Kilt-like petticoats? To deceive the fairies who. the peasants believe, will kidnap male children if they find an opportunity. but won't. bother about little girls; Absurd as such beliefs are, there is a thin substratum of truth under them. The fairies of folk-lore are de- feated and degenerate races; and they kidnapped the males for eu- genlc reasons and to strengthen the tribe.

This is probably the origin of the kilt. and the Socili brought in the fashion out of Ireland, when they conquered and drove the Plcts northward.

In England. a couple of genera- tions ago, every little boy wore petticoats till he was old enough to be proud of being "breeched." Such an occasion was often signal- ized by special festivities. There were no rompers nor overalls in those days. At the present mo- ment I have before me a photo- grapher on glass (before sensitive paper was invented): it repres- ents a very sulkv-looking little fellow. about three or four years old, standing on a chair.

Some contend that as God has Elven to man dominion over the beast, the sovereign (or stale) has "0 llllhoflll’ to deprive subjects (or citizens) of a right which God has given them. In their opinion, ap- Dafeﬂtly. there ls a right to de- stroy but ho authority to conserve, If scriptural admonition; are to taken as the basis of policies toward wild life, if, can well be asked why Genesis readers have, not Dersevercd beyond the first Chapter. Are they only short story readers? Or do they see only what they wish to see? l If having dominion over living‘ things was enjoined through Adam. then preservation was admonished through Noah. One need read only to the sixth and seventh chapters of Genais to find all the authority needed for preserving wild life. There we read among Noah's in- structions when loading the ark: "Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male

and his female; and of boasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowia of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of the earth" (Gen. 7; 2, 3).-

Weeds As a Menace To Tourist Resorts

Canada's ﬂ-erbarhun of wild plants under the supervision of the Division of Botany at the Central Experimental Farm, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. is an ex- peipcionuljy fine collection. Some of the plants are of economic value B5 food. drugs, fibre and oil produc- ing. while others are noxious or poisonous. The Herbarium is a storehouse of knowledge accessible

among other things, of protection for the Canadian public. For ex- ample, ragweed is the principal cause oi hay fever. and recently an officer of the Division of Botany engaged iii E=stern Canada to collect seeds and plants for the Herbarium hook the opportunity to maike a survey o.‘ the prevalence of ragweed and poison ivy, par- ticularly in the vicinity of tourist resorts

In Anticosti Islanl he found no ragweed nor poison ivy. nor was flit?!‘ ziiiv at Brackley Beach and Summerside in Prince Edward Is- land. On the other hand. ragwﬂld was found at all tho resorts visit- ed in Nova Swtla-Chester. Port Mouton. Yarmouth, and Digby. and in addition poison ivy was found at Port Moulton. Although heavy expenditure is being incurred on the unprnvements of roads t attract tourists. it did not appear that. anything was being done to eradicate the objectionable rail- wccd. A small colony of ragweed was also found at St. Andrews. N. B., which could easily be clean- ed up.
