An entry in my nstursl history note-book reads: “Sept. 3rd. 1019; a horse-leech, taken from nn open drain at Mount Herbert, was identi- fied as Hesmopls msnnoratls Say, by Percy Moore, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia." Since then I have on several occasions found other specimens of this horse-leech, so I imagine ft to be common on the Island, but not well know-n, as it lives at the bottom of ponds and ditches. The Bonus Hsemopisis closely rc- latecl to the leeches formerly used for local blood-letting. a practice Ins we learn from old wrltersl nhich led to the person employing it, being known iu a "leech" also.

in this manner in glass Jars and act as "weather prophets.“ Certain it is that they become very active before a storm, extending themrclves to twice their normal length. and swimming about with a rapid imrlulatory move- mcnt quite a variance with-their usu- al sluggish habits. 1 harl a couple of Hecmopis in a. sealer for upwards of two years. but apart from their antics on thc approach of bad ivcatlicr. there was little of interest ll1 keeping them. Their method of locomotion reminded one of the looper or “geomctric" rat- erptllars. Extending its bocly, the leech takes hold with its anterior stickers, draws the posterior part of the body forward and repeats the process.

If our Hasmopis is unattractive ex- ternally, it makes up for this by its remarkable interior structure. It is hermaphrodite, having both - male and female generative organs in the one animal, although the congrem of two individuals Ls neccsary to fertil- ize the eggs. Nixie testes are tllJDO5€Fl in a row along each ride of its body. and two ovaries m the form of coiled filaments, situated towards the fore Dirt. There is a considerable number of ganglia whose nerve-cells supply various parts of the body. The kind of head which we associate with the lower animals is absent, but there is a. very efficient apparatus of teeth, and a suctorinl mouth. Ihero is some doubt as to the presence of eyes, but; some observers consider that certain rudimentary structures ‘may act as such.

A surprising number of genera and BDH-‘les of leeches are recognized, and are found all over the world; and not all are aquatic, those of Japan, Aus- tralia and Chill being mostly land-

loeches, living among grass, and us-

cendlng shrubs a-nd trees. A ﬁrst cousin of our Haemopis, by name H.

V011! ‘rand, is common in Egypt

where it enters the nostrils o! cam-

els, horses and cattle while drinking;

and the Punch soldiers, being ignor-

ant of this habit, had the some dis-

agreeable experience‘ during Napol-

eon's myptian campaign.

PASS!!! IIOSTILIS, ETC.

Among the many excellent papers published by The Guardian under heading "Save the Birds." was one upon "Our Winter Irlngillidacﬂ- an article at once informative, ac- curate, and very pleasant reading.

"geogmph- icul race." 0n explaining this to an old-time naturalist, beslyly Observ- ed-"So you don't know what your animal ls, unless you know where it comes from!" Our Bronzed Gruckles are a. race of the Purple Grackles, with purple heads but brassy backs: only u Flight difference you will observe. .Do human brings develop Icogrg. phlcal races? ‘ropinard, in his work on "Anthropology-y" gives dlagylmp mutic or “skelctoiﬂ sketches of dif- IBNHB Dwples. The Australians, des- cendants of British setllers, dilIer from the parent stock by reason of s, greater length of the tibia and fi- bular-tvhcncc they are called "Com- stalks." It 1s interesting to note in this connection that the largest nut- lve mammals of Australia-the kan- garoos-have a striking development ,of the hind-limbs, while the forc- llmbs arc comparatively short and feeble. And the larger birds of that continent, both living and extinct. have long legs and feeble wings. Why this should hold good for thrcc such dissimilar forms of life is a. problem for the scientists: but it would appear that climate something to do with it.

THE GLADIOLUS

Tlllﬁ flout-r. which is now almost

a cull. in Canada; was ﬁrst grown in Flllslmld in 1596. This dlitlOdllCtlOn was a somewhat insigniﬁcant wild plant of Southern Europe and was only tolerated in gardens because it bloomed m late summer when other flowers were scarce. "l‘hcn followed other special". from ‘Turkey, and the hybridists. got hilsy, without much success it is true, tmtil almost with- in our own times. A gardener in Ghent, Belgium, was: one of the first tn make a dc- mrlal llltpftTfflllGlll, using species Wlllfll hurl lwcn (llSCf)\f3l‘C(l'l|‘i South Africa as 0m 0r both of the parents. This type tin which red was the dominant color) was named tho Gandavensis type, and the old ‘Gladiolus brenchloyerlsls was prob- ablythc ﬁrst of its kind put on the market. Then a. Frenchman, Le- moine, followed with the Lemoinei strain, a cross between Gundavensis and o. wild species, Gladiolus pur- pureouuratus, which gevs large blotchcd and spotted flowers.

After some further improvement this strain was sold to Childs of Rochester, N. Y., and was re-christ- ened the chlldsil gladlolus, which is characterized by a. tall and vigorous growth, and ﬂowers with a wlds range of color. No doubt all the mo- dern hybrids owe much to this strain. Burbank, of California, add- ed substance to the flower which enabled it to withstand the dry at- mosphere of that State. H. H. Groff of Ontario, produced hybrids noted for daintiness andpurity of coloring. Cowee, an American grower. handled much of Croft's work, and it is to him that the gladlolus owes its pop- ularity as a garden flower. Kunderd of Indiana, has produced a type with ruffled or fluted petals, while Dcirl- er of California has originated a giant type with peculiar striping: and mixed coloring. Van Meerbeek of Huarlem. Holland, used to catn- logue over ﬁfty wild species. but his sons cut them all out when they took over the business.

Gardening

Continued from b“! 3 , when Orocusss, Chionodoxus, Bcil- » ins and Snowdrop: are to be Diluted on the lawn, a common practice l: w carefully remove a patch of sod;

work up and manure the underlying earth, plant the bulbs and replace the sod.

Bulbs should not be planted until the weather ls sufficiently cool to cause the development of a. stronz root system before top STOW"! be‘ gins. In the Maritime Provinces. suitable weather usually does not oc- cur before October lst. Good results are often obtained by nllmllns l5 late as November 20th. As a general rule bulbs ‘should be planted-at a depth equal to three time: their dia- meter. Place Narcissi about 0 inches apart, Hyacinths 7 inches, ‘Tulips 5 inches, Chlonodoxas, Scillas and Snowdrops, 3 inches and Crocuses 2 inches.

When the ground has frozen to n depth of 2 to 3 inches, cover the bulbs with about 3 inches of straw. strawy manure or leaves of trees. In

Choosing Bulbs

Large bulbs of good quality will give better bloom than small ones. but quality is the important factor. Therefore. choose well-developed sol- id bulbs first; anl let size be a sec- ondary consideration. Purchase from reliable dca1ere..nnd choose named varieties.
