It all occurred in a split fraction of et sec- ond, The bolt of lightning made a terrific explosion when it struck the chimney and screamed jowo the flue. After coming down the chimney and entering the bedroom where Mrs. Fiseher was sitting, the lightning div- erted in four different directions. One bolt knocked down the stove pipes in the hedroam and went through the ceiling into the kitchen where it tore up a piece of 'linoleum sm the floor, A second went through the door into an adjoining; bedroom and out Through the aI1 f 'the houee.

Institu- tions of this nature are of great inter- est aad value to the general public, aad more particularly so when ther aPeeal is to alt .manner of neen. Such are the 'Royal Botapic Gardena, Kew; England. • When one heard the name Kew to- day one usually' thinks of a famous gavdtin and a great botanical 'centre, end for 1 great many years Kew has been renowned as such.. However, a few eenturies ago Kew was merely a small village on the Thames several miles from Landon. It was an attrac- tive little village set in pleasant •coun- try .surroundings. 'Royalty and others, recognizing its ,beauties, built resid- ences there and established gardens. Mary, Dowager Queen of France and sister of Henry 'VIII, lived at Kew, as did also at about the same time, one, l'orner, known latet as the father of English botany: This is the 'firet connection Kew had with the science of which it is noW the head- quarters, ' In the,'117th and 118th centuries, a part of the property which is now Kew.

Among the many plants of economic value which have been distributed are: pineapples, bananas, tea, coffee, cocoa; ,mectioines and drugs, such as quinine, coca, rubbers, bung oil, fruits,- dyes , timber,s, riled fibres. Perhaps the most remarkable of these •successes was the introduc- tion of quinine to India and the ine troduction of Para rubber to the Malay Peninsula. Tblial-As a alace of public resort.

Fourth -- As a school of horticul- ture. Horticulturists are trained ,with the object of fitting them for horticul- tural and 'agricultural positions throughout the woeld. Church services were held olutdoors, in the streets. Even war plane were delayed; the entr,auemewt al 1412,0100 draft registrants Wit8 held up ibecause of appalling ,cotedilaems in the ,training camps, where every ,faureh man ,came down with it. Many people took bo wearing strange -looking wihite cotton masks itt streetcars, offices and shops. Mines, factories and ,shipyands were' crippled by sick leaves, Over half dee Papulation of 'San .Autonio, Texas, fell Doctors and nurses everywlhere were overwhelmed. A physician, an- sweeing. .0, call, would find not one ca - tient beat 1110 to 16.. A ourse in Philadel- phia found a house in which a lone woman had been .dead and unburied foe a week; another found a husband dead in the •same room where his wife was 'lying with .newbeern twin babies. Hospital coaditions were a nightmare: wards designed for 30 .people •would be jammed with 70, half of deem dying; when 'the day nurses came on duty they would firtd many new faces in beds where others had died ,during the ,night. Doctors and nurses were fall- ing ill themselves, some to die in three days, Cemeteries appealed :for more gravediggers. In several cities there was a shortage of coffins, The epidemic, while furious, was brief -a few cases one 'week, a few more the next, then a terrific increase with a vast number of deaths, then a rapid subsidence toward normal. And with that subsidence there came a ra- pid recovery of morale. No wonder - for, by the 'beginning of 'November, it was clear even to the most skepti- cal not only that the influenza was ,011 the way out, hut also that the war was ending, ending in a victory be- wilderingly sudden and complete. Came the Armistice celebrations. Who cared now abut influenza, about masks, or 'keeping away from crowds? Only one thing mattered: the war was over, NEARLY F.ORGOTTEIN How many readers under the age of 215 years have ever heard -Of the great in'fluenza epidemic of 11216? Eveie many of those •who lived through, it will recall it only vaguely, For While it swept through the coun- try, during the last two months of the World War, more exciting news was filling the newspapers; Ludendorff's final thrusts into French territory had been turned hack, and Foch was Par- rying through the Allied, counterat- tack, Yet the epidemic took half a million American ,lives -1,0 times as many as yee lost in battle. Nor was this an American epidem- ic only. In 'India it killed some five million people. It spread alneost sim- ultaneously to the remotest regions - Africa, Labrador, the 'Philippines, the South Seas. In Alaska Whole villages Eskimos lost their enbire adult popu- lation; in Western Samoa 7,000 out .of 30,000 perished; in Fiji some es ,or 90 percent of the population of Suva fell 111. The total loss of life from the epi- demic was certainly much larger, in a few .months, than the loss in all the years of 'fightingein the Viorld War. According to tbe British Ministry of Health, the epidemic ranks "not lower than third, ,perhape second, up- on the roll of great pestilences" of all recorded histary, its rivals being the plague of Justinian's reign and the 1146-cenbury Black Death. Yet you will find only the most fleeting men - doe of it -if any at all -in the history books. Since war hysteria ran high at the time, many Americans imagined that influenza germs -had been brought to American coastal cities by German agents. Unfortunately for this theory, one of the places evbere the epidemic was first reported in the whole world was Camp Funston, in ,Kansas, on March 5, 1916. It spread quickly through the camp, in comparatively mild form. But in the same month the same disease -or what looked like it --arepeared in such widely separated places as China. the 'Japanese Navy, and the Freneh village of Chaumont. By April, the disease had reached British and German troops at the front and American troops at Brest. In May it was spreading through Spain with increased virulence; hence the name "Spanish iatluenza." By June it was running wildly thraugh Europe, including Germany and' the Scandinavian countries, and had reached India. Then it moved westward again - back acroes the Atlantic. And all at one it was no longer a mild disease, either in the United States or other countries. Now it was terrifying, One case in every six or seven turned into pnetnnonia so severe that a patient hai only about two chances in three of pulling through. It leaped from one end of the country to the other, doing its greatest damage among young men and women. By the first of .0cto- ber the epieleinic had reached its peak in Boston (and simultaneouely, 'believe it or not, M Bombay, India); by the middle of October it had reached its peak in Philadelphia and Baltimore (and also in Liverpool and Vienna); and so on, through the entire United States. and the entire world. Nobody. -knew just how the disease was column nice led, but the canting together of people seemed to have something to .do with it, .and 'therefore football games and boxing matches were cancelled, the 'Kentucky races were called off, and many places of amusement closed. In Boston and Washington the public school SeSSI.0118 were suspended. In New York the public library discontinued abe circu- lation of 'books, and the New York Telephone Company, with. 1000' opera- tors ills, asked subscribers to use the telephone only for urgent Calls.. In Seattle and many other cities, every place of public assembly was closed. natnime ner read a gos-ip eel- t Engagement - The engagement is announced of Eleie Winithred Hamilton, ally ghter of alre.

As a nation- al establishment, Kew stands in rela- tion to botany much as Green wich doe, 1 astranomy. One great task is hotanical survey of the Empire, stmliee of the flora al many parts c)f tee Eintii:.e have already been com- lined and published. Another task is the index Kewensis, an alphabetical list of every plant name published. rhi, work ie invaluable as a reference fer b itanists throughout the world.

Nature has adapted his sharp eyes .to this need, an unusual oeie itt the world of owls. :Thus he has t•to difficulty in spotting the Artie hares, mite and lemmings which -supply his staple articles of diet. A few of ;these birds usually mig- rate as far south a.s the northern United States each ,winter and their diurnal habits prove .disconcerting 10 some .furred and 'featheeed residents, On one occasion a !flock of crows were observed "mobbing" a snowy ,believing him too be partially by the sun, but s.everal suff- ered from a sudden -rush .of silent wings an.d unerring claws. IDaubtless because most of his nor- mal habitat is treeless, the white owl of the Arctic, even when woods are at hand, !prefers to ,perch on the ground, But he .usually chooses some low 'hill- ock 'where he can command a view of open spdces, In •the polar prairies the nests are found on the ground on some Such eminence, eight or ten white eggs, as large as a 'pullet's, being 'laid in a slight depression •with little or no lining. Warm white down covers the youngsters literally ifrom head to foot. Likewise in the adults, ciosely set feathers grow to the very toes, even the bill bleiag ,almost concealed. The male may be pure white or al- most so, while the ,female, consider- ably larger than her spouse, is norm- ally barred with sl.aty brown on a white background. At irregular intervals of eight or ten years a mysterious disease car- ries 'off most of the Arctic hares. Men as -well as four -,legged beasts of prey go hungry in these dreaded sea- sons, but the snowy owl spreads bis powerful pinions and .flies southward. During these special migmtions com- panies of she or eight are often found in 'New England and even farther south. Individuals of this Eskimo race ,of owls have even been reported 41" in tropical Bermuda arid on ships a thousand miles from land.

No matter what typs of picnic, the hamper should include a variety af foods that will combine to provide a complete, balanced meal., and in fig- uring the amounts required, allowance should be made for the hearty appe- tites always in evidence on such occa- sions Picnics should be happy events far everyone, and in no way should the enjoyment be marred by elaborate preparations.
