THE STARRY r'
FIRMAMENT
A .rnee:ting of the Canadian Club
was held in the-Coun'iiil Chamber on
the evening of Monday, March 4th.
Mr. George Allen favored the aud-
ience with a piano solo=The Prelude
irn C sharp Minor, (Raehmaniaioff),
Dr. Kingston of western Uanrversi-
ty, London, gave a very interesting
talk on astronomy, his subject being
"The Wonderful .Heavens," The lec-
ture .was illustrated by slides, which
consisted o'f views of the various ob-
servations on 'this continent and of
the telescopes in these observatories,
of the sun, the moon and the planets,
Diagrams depicting . the motions of
the planets were also drown.
It would be impossible now to re-
count accurately the various statistics
concerning the 'distances and the rel-
ative sizes of the planetary bodies.
Suffice it to say' that the audience,
could not fail to gain a broader con;
ception of The universe, and a deeper
faith in the Power which created` all
these worlds and set' them in motion:'
Truly "the .heavens declare the glory
of God, and the firmament showeth
His handiwork."
The hearty applause of the audience
indicated their appreciation of the ev
ening's entertainment.
Dr. Kingston was the guest of Mr:'
and Mrs. Fred -Phillips.

Pink Geraniums Climb Three Steeles
~i'ou Cwn Walk Beneath Dahlias
While Fusblzts Grows' In Clumps—
The Great Tree of Tele.,.
Mexico is a land of tropical luxur-
iance and mighty trees. There are
great flowers wliioh arise marvellous
and mighty at the call of the morn-
ing sun.
Bleck bumblebees to match them
are as big as some of the far -voyag-
ing humming birds from the north.
The landscape, says an article in the
New York Herald -Tribune, often
seems -to be a scene imagined by Jos-
eph Urban for the opera "Oberon,"
wherein soprani and tenori mus;; be
diminished to the size of fairies by
the vast flowers which droop from
the proscenium and grow beside the
paths upon .the stage.
I have been walking underneath the
dahlias. This region was the dahlia's
first home, and at the slightest provo-
cation It here becomes a tree, bear-
ing mauve flowers, usually double,
more rarely single, shading garden
walks and thatched Indian homes,
taller than the )11a0s of New England.
I remember how a white rose, in a
patio at Uruapan,. suddenly leaped
from a little shoot to one strong stein
ten feet high, perfect in foliage and
crowned by a solitary flower of Car-
ron pearl which two hands could not
encircle. '
Up in the capital the pink geran-
iums climb three stories and creep
over the roof -tops, out of sight, and
along with them goes the fair blue
Plumbago. The heliotrope there Is

The Palma Christi, which after all
is just the castor bean, is in the

longer be postponed—I must speak
of the Great Tree of Tule--the won-
der of the Valley of Holy Mary of
the Bulrush in Oaxaca?
It seems a forest when you see it
first, appearing above the tangled.
roses, the pomegranate blossoms and
aden orange branches of the Zapote-
an village. It is perhaps the oldest
living thing upon our continent, per-
haps the largest tree. (For no one
knows, of course, just what trees
there may be, nor what their ages.)
Figures so often given leave one nb
faint idea of the air of dreaming anti-
quity which weighs upon the Tree of
Title's drooping boughs, of its regal
peace; the insignificance of years and
peoples perceived within its shade.
There 'is serenity in the gift of the
Great Tree of Tule. It seems to be a
kind tree. In every conflict it has
been respected _.. respected when
cathedrals were assailed and
churches shattered. But one would
not dare to dwell near it. There Is
something overwhelming lli the shade
of It and in the thoughts it calls up
rom the depths of time.
• You have read some time about
this tree—how its 'trunk, four feet
hove the ground, measures 160 feet
round, and how it stands as high as
hat, while its feathery foliage
preads 140 feet out over,the little
hurchyard where it grows. It is a
