No ledlhsa Story This

The story in The Guardian, telling of two men who were hang- ed on Gallows Hill. for stealing-a loaf of bread, brings to mind an- other story Just as typical of the good old times.

The river Tyne. in the North of England, was much affected (about a century go) by any high tide. The river water, dammed back by the sea. spread over a oon- siderable expanse of ground near the mouth of the Tyne; and from an ancient village in the vicinity, the watery flats were known as Jarrow Slake. This was the re- sort of myriads of water-fowl and many gunners.

In the summer of i882. Nicholas Fairless, a magistrate of Durham City, was visiting the Blake, prob- ably as a sportsman, there murdered by one William Jobling, who was soon after taken into custody. He was conducted to Durhun (20 miles away). tried. and sen‘ ‘ to be hanged on August 6th, 1832. The sentence was duly carried out in Durham

Jail but the law was not yet sat- isfied. A gibbet was made in Durham. carted to the Slske, and erected as near to the place of the murder as was possible. Jobiinga body was stripped. tar- red all over, and finally forced into a cage of iron bars, construct- ed somewhat in the shape of a coffin. This gruesome object was taken to the Blake. and hung by chains to the crosspiecs of the gibbet. There the law proclaim- ed it was to remain until its ten- ant disintegrated. ., However. the body was taken down. a night or two after by some of Jobllngh friends, and is sup- posed to have been buried. still

These Will Grapes

In Editorial New. Nov. 11th. there was mention of grapes grown at Brackley Beach. These WON wild grapes, an improved variety of Vltis vulblns. which is trans- iaied as "Fox Grape": and the Beach is. l think, the most north- ern locality in which they can be grown. -

Various ornithologists have noticed the details here combined:-

This, the seventh Order of birds, comprises four Families (or divis-

wlth all four toes long, slender. and without webs. Ali have large and rounded wings. We may pass over the first three Families since they are not represented in our region, merely giving the names of their members as Bpoonbills. Ibises, and Starks.

The fourth Family - the Ardei- dae—taires in the two Herons and the Bittern, just described. A few distinctive features of the Family are the long, graceful neck, the long sharp bill, and the long legs. The latter have the hind toe very long, and set level with the other three. One of the peculiarities of the Ardeidae is, that certain clus- ters of feathers disintegrate into a greasy, talc-like powder. The birds are believed to use the pow- der for the same purposes as other birds do the oil from their oil glands.

The Colin‘!

There is a group of plants known to botanists as Brasslca oleraees ‘aeephald. The first word signi- fies that they belong to the Cab- bage family, the second suggests their use as pot-herbs, and the third tells us that they do not form heads. In an article pub- lished some years ago. the Scotch Kale, the Colework, and the Bore- cole were given as mem‘ a (sub- varieties) of the group. To these must now be added the Collard.

The- Ooilard would seem to be unknown in Britain; does not occur in any of my Eng- lish gardening books. Some Kale seed, sent me from North Caro- lina, had a few seeds of Collard amongst them. and these "came up" in due season. ‘they grew about 2 feet high (including the flower-stem) and bore a large quantity of obovate rather succul- ent leaves, which ere occasion- ally stripped from i. e plants while

spinach. The ﬂavor was “cab- bagy", with a faintly bitter tang, which must betoken a tonic ef- fect. They were attnckedby the "cabbage worm," but since there was no head to bore into, it was easy to control the pests. The leaves are stiii usable Nov. 22, and o. little frost seems to have im- proved them. However, in_ those regions where cabbages head well. collards are not popular: people prefer the white "head" with its lack of minerals and vitamins. to the more robust and effective. leaves of the Collard.

Just as with land-plants, the submarine vegetation has general ' differing widely in color, form. and!

Home are fan- shaped and in one piece; others like the Bladder seaweeds (Pixel) are branched and branched again: still others are so divided that they might be taken for ferns.
