live germs found millions years old garden talks getting otf arly it will soon be time to start think- stsrles of mimmy wheat shut up ing of getting seed sown indoors in egyptian tombs thousands of years xot only can one set the garden off ago and yet able to sprout and grow to a much earlier start in this way when planted are now disbelieved by bat one can also grow those tender scientists they are pure fable we are told and yet a geologist now comes for ward with a far more marvelous tale that of living germs shut up in rocks for millions of years tbe germ he says are in the stage of spores where they are- protect ed by hard impervious cases these i replant very readily may he startei have acted not as coffins but rather under glass in march or april and as cradles says a writer in current will actually benefit from being science columbus ohio moved around a few times before plants for which our season normal ly is too short supplies for the window box or banging basket are also produced from seed planted in doors such flowers as cosmos marigolds zinnias petunias foliage plants and in fact practically every thing except poppies which do not it is almost unthinkable that any form of life even the most simple could endure for centuries or even millenniums a biologist dr charles b llpman of the university of cali fornia seems to have discovered liv ing things that were born more than a million years ago germs are plants of the very sim plest type they seem to be little moro than tiny lumps of photopiasm nothing could be tenderer it would seem than a pinpoint of jelly such as a germ most of them are easily killed too by heating drying ex posure to the sunlight or contact with certain chemicals certain germs however are able to don an overcoat and defy the most unfavorable sur roundings in this form they are called spores and because of their tough covering they resist boiling dry ing light and chemical germicides a clever trick has to bo played on spores when one wishes to destroy them as in the canning of vegetables the vegetables string beans for ex ample are boiled vigorously one day tho spores survive believe that the worst is over and turn to germs dur- ing the night by shedding their crusts in the water that soaks the beans and themselves next day the cruel cauner puts them again to boiling ami of cotirso tho unprotected germs arc killed ex perience has shown that some of the spore germs ire wiser or is it that they are slower and more stupid than others and they do not come from their shells until tiie second boil- ing i on the third day another bailing executes them all- dr ilipman has tested a number of examples of rocks by a method that prevents moder sarins from getting into his aorii the outside por- tlons of fie i are broken away and sterile icvjio water allowed to how upon roc surfaces never be- iforo exposed to the air this water then runs upon a nourishing jelly called agaragar by the bacteriolo gist tho spores will soften tinder theso favorable conditions and if alive will develop new germs in great numbers tho rocks tested by dr iipman havo come from those laid down in the rexy- early ages of the earths geo logical history some aro from the algonkian rocks of canada which are light down next to tho volcanic rocks that poured out upon the surface of tho planet earth before it was cool and solid others havo come from tbe same geological horizon rock level that outcrops near the bottom of tho grand canyon of the colorado these rocks are inconceivably old in certain lumps of coal secured from widely separated places as pen nsylvania and wales spores have al so been found coal was laid down in tho carboniferous period of earths history a sort of middle ago of geol ogy then in somo fairly recent

aging landholders of morocco al geria and tunisia in the production of citrus fruits with the expectation of making another california of her north african possessions algeria was first of the french

although the cost of flower or vegetable seed is cf minor import- j ance and is tho smallest item taken into consideration bv the gardener ones whole seasons work depends j absolutely on the quality of the seed j used generally speaking there is but one opportunity to plant during the season and if poor seed is used results are certain to be disappoint- i ing the cost of the land labor equipment and fertilizer will be lost as well as the pleasure of growing beautiful flowers and the satisfac tion of producing high quality fresh vegetables if good seed which is the foundation of all this is

fresh horse manure at least eighteen inches deep the nanure should be allows to heat up and cool down again before planting have the bed face the sonth with the glass sloping a few inches in tho same direction so that rain will run off and the suns rays may be caught more fully water very sparingly cold weather and then only on bright days ventilate a little by raising the sash and keep this open longer as the weather gets warm transplant at least once tj a cold frame that is a glass protected bed without horse manure before the plants are set in their permanent location outside planning the

clump planting ad visable a much better show can bo produced where groups of ten plants of one variety are placed to- down in virginia where the climate is much milder or in england where there is little trouble with frost but tbe same variety if used here will not do well because of this un alterable condition the gardener is well advised to obtain his supply of seed and plants from those sources which cater to ontario gardens naturally the seedsmen in tho prov ince select their supplies to suit onr climate and conditions and the fact that most of our seed houses have been in business

brain of man is in creasing in size and power bis cranium is becoming larger and his face is gradually becoming less prom inent showing a marked tendency to recede backwards beneath the brain case stated prof j c b grant of the department of anatomy of the unlvesity of toronto during a le- cent address at an open meeting of the royal canadian institute here over a period of hundreds of cen turies as the brain of man increased in power and capacity it became lar ger stated prof grant this ten dency may be proven by a compari son of the size of the crania cases of skulls of different stages of mans development professor grant pointed out that the brain of a man is larger than that of a woman he did not con sider lowever that this could alto gether be taken as proof that the mental capacity of the male was just that much greater than that of the female brain sizes he considered were to a certain extent proportional to tho size of the person to which they belonged he pointed out that the brain of the elephant and of the whale were larger than that of a man but that this could scarcely be taken as proof that they had greater mental capacity the unmistakable tendency of the jaw and of tho facial portion of the skull to recede under the brain pan was in professor grants estimation a result of the fact that the human face has been relieved of many of its duties by the hands lower ani mals he explained must use their jaws to accomplish clumsily many- things which a human now does easily with his fingers discussing the ridges depressions and other phenomena of a skull prof grant pointed out that the only con nection between the face and the backbone is through the medium of the brain case and that the muscles which work the jaws are attached not to the face bones but to the walls of the brain in consequence he said by examining tho extent of the areas to which the hiussl3 are at tachedand these aro usually mark ed by fairly sharp lines one can dis cern accurately the
