The three bitter ones, also, have no purplish tints to the mature gills; but two of the mild ones have. By using these and. other distinguishing characters the six species may be tabulated and their several peculiarities more clearly shown. Taste bitter I Taste mild, or not clearly bitter 3 1. Stem solid or stuffed, flesh whitish, gills whitish, then sooty-olive sublateritium I. Stem hollow, flesh yellow 2 2. Cap yellow or tinged with tawny, stem yellow, gills yellow, becoming greenish fasciculare 2. Cap brick-red, stem ferruginous, gills green, becom-ing olive elaeodes 3. Cap red or brick-red, with a yellow margin; gills yel-low, then greenish, finally purplish-brown perplexum 3. Cap yellow, or slightly tawny on the disk only 4 4. Gills gray, becoming purplish-brown capnoides 4. Gills yellow, becoming gray, neither green nor pur-plish epixanthum Probably in general appearance the Perplexing hypholoma most nearly resembles the brick-red Hypholoma, H. sublateritium; but it has often been mistaken for the tufted Hypholoma, H. fasciculare. From this it may be separated by the more red cap, the whitish flesh, the purplish-brown color of the mature gills, and the mild flavor. From H. sublateritium it is distinguished by its usually smaller size, more slender hollow stem, the yellow greenish and purplish tints of the gills, and the absence of a bitter flavor. Some may prefer to consider it a variety of this fungus, rather than a distinct species. Its cap is 1-3 in. broad, its stem 2-3 in. long and 2-4 lines thick. It commonly grows in clusters, though sometimes singly, on or about old stumps or prostrate trunks of trees, in woods or open places. The caps of the lower ones in a cluster are often defiled and apparently discolored by the spore. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, RareBooksClub. Paperback. New.

ON THE CHOICE OF TREES AND SHRUBS FOR CITIES AND RURAL TOWNS It has often been remarked by strangers, that, in sailing up the harbor of New York, they have been strongly impressed with the beauty of the scenery, particularly with the number and diversified forms of the trees; and that, after landing, the whole appears like one vast garden, interspersed, not only with many trees indigenous to the neighboring woods, but with those of the most distant climes of the two worlds. In progressing inland, or in either direction along the sea-board, the same features are observable, though in a less degree, in all of our cities and larger towns. It has also been remarked, that the foreign trees most conspicuous in the artificial scenery, in America, are various kinds of fruit-trees, the Lombardy Poplar, the Weeping Willow, the Horse-Chesnut, the European Lime-tree, the Ailantus, and the Paper-Mulberry. The contrast between the regular position and round-tufted heads of the fruit-trees, and the erect-branched summits of the poplars, and between these trees and the drooping heads of the willow and the ailantus, as well as between those of the wild luxuriance of the indigenous species, strikes the beholder with admiration. This love, or desire, for rural taste and ornament, speaks well for our people, whether they have been the most judicious in their choice and management, or not; and doubtless, the time is not far distant, when a due regard will be paid to the cultivation of such trees and shrubs for beautifying our parks, public high-ways, and private grounds, as will best subserve the purposes of health, ornament and shade, --and with this view the following . . .

It was decided that it be referred to President Gompers and Secretary Morrison to continue efforts to getn satisfactory uniform law. President Gompers wns authorized to llle a protest with President Tuft ngainst tils appointment of Congressman Williams. Bennet as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Commerce and Labor wherein the enforcement of the Immigration laws lies. The following telegram was received: cot. umbtts, OHIO, January M. 1911. Mr. Samttel Gompbks: The following resolution was adopted by the twentysecond convention of the United Mine Workers of America: Columbus, OHIO, January IV, 1S11. Whereas the U. M. W. of A. in convention assembled one year ago recommended to W. F. M. certain steps to bring about closer relations between the men employed in the Coal and Metalliferous Mining Industry, to wit. procuring a charter from the A. F. of L. that shculd concede to the metal miners the same complete jurisdiction of that Industry which has been and Is now enjoyed by the U. M. W. of A. , and wherea the W. F. M. has complied with these suggestions following the course of the application fora charter from the E. C. of the A. F. of L. to the convention of thfit body and back again to the council. Thwarted at every turn by the Jurisdiction claims of craft organizations; and, whereas, we believe that the best Interests of not only the men engaged in the mining industry, but of labor in general would be advanced by the addition of the W. F. of M. to the American labor movement as represented by the A. F. of L. ; and whereas. , every objection raised agai. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, RareBooksClub.

Orbicular quartette, of compact and fine grain, filled with hollow groups of radiating quartz crystals. This rock is exposed along the western edge of the Texas augen-gneiss area, and is quarried at the PoorHouse. It occurs also in the marble at Brooklaudville. c. While conglomeratic quartzite of Deer creek. Among the most distinctly metamorphosed rocks of the eastern area is a belt of white conglomeratic sandstone in the center of Harford county, known as the Rocks of Deer creek. The band is not over four miles long and from a quarter to a half a mile broad. Its hardness has caused it to resist erosion, so that where it is cut by the stream and railroad it towers up as a narrow ridge to a height of nearly three hundred feet. The microscopic structure shows that this rock has suffered almost complete recrystallization, although this has not always obliterated the original pebbles. During this process, which was probably assisted by fumarole action, a number of new minerals were abundantly developed. These are, muscovite, in continuous wavy membranes; blue cyanite in large radiating tufts; chlorite; magnetite and tourmaline, garnet and rutile. This formation, which has not yet been studied in any detail, lies just on the boundary between the noncrystalline rocks and the semi-crystalline schists surrounding the Peach Bottom slates. It cannot as yet be assigned with definiteness to either area, but its position suggests that it may not impossibly represent a basal conglomerate of the latter. This rock presents many points of petrographical resemblance to the metamorphic sandstone of Willis mountain, Buc. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
