Size Street Address city State WOOD DESTROYING FUNGI | Many stains and all rots in wood are caused by plants of simple structure, known as fungi. The wood-destroying fungi develops within the wood and at maturity produce their fruit on the surface These fruits are the best known parts of the fungous plants. They appear only on wood which is in an advanced stage of decay or stain, and take the form of toadstools, fleshy or woody shelves, encrusting sheets, or of minute inconspicuous bodies scarcely discernable to the naked eye. At maturity fungous fruits shed clouds of fine, dust-like particles known as spores which function in the same manner as seeds of higher plants, These spores are microscopic in size and are scattered far and wide by air cur- rents, spreading disease wherever a spore can get a foothold.

"Ere long thy homespun shall be changed for laces and velvets and thy young eye hehold hate and grief, love and death," In these words Moll, the old witch, prophesied the future of Adam the nineteen-year-old boy whose parentage was shrouded in mystery. A gtrange talisman he wore about his neck was his only heritage. When Hector Mackar- lane, finding him in the garb of a despised Jacobite, demanded that he assume the role of Lord Bell- castonborough, he was dismayed; he was struck dumb with amaze- ment when that officer of the King compelled him to marry the glor- iously beautiful Barbara MacGreg- or. The old witch spoke the truth when she foretold that "here are journeyings by land and sea, Here be dangers and perils a-many." "The Token" by E. J. Archibald, is a delightful story of the Scottish farmer settlers of Cape Breton Island in the sixties of the last century before the con- federation of the Canadian Pro- vinces. Shelia Morrison, heroine, is the beautiful daughter of Angus MacRoy, ruling elder of the kirk, unbening in the observance of his faith.

"Quiet Ways," by Katherine Bur- dekin, is the story of Helga Castier Praid. There are others who con- tribute to the book of course, as the nurse Smith, for instance, and Alan Campbell, who marries Helga. The hook is full of controversial subjects the heroine has a mind of her own and frequently it leads her into "Jams" of one kind or another, A novel of Europe in the seven- teenth century is always of interest and especially one as well done as "Ambition," by B. Guttmann. THis novel is a panorama broad and bril- liant of the Europe of the Great Elector of Prussia, of the Sun-King lof France, of William of Orange and the liberation of Hungary from the Turkish yoke, of the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, between Lutherans and Calvinists and of the slow but irrestistible rise of freedom of thought and of popu- lar government, Other new fiction received: "The 'halenge of the Bush," by C.

A young onc of Jerry Muskrat had started to climb out of the water on an old log that lay partly in the water, There had been a snap, something had grabbed him by one of his fore legs, hurting terribly, and now was holding him prisoner, He had stepped in a steel trap, At first he pulled with all his strength, pulled and pulled. hurt terribly, but how else coud he get away? Time and again he plunged from that log into water, but in vain. It was well for him that the water was very shallow there. The boy who had set that trap was not a good trap- per. In fact he never had set traps hefore. He had set the trap too high on the log. Had he been an old trapper he would have placed that trap so that when Muskrat stepped In it and sm it the little animal would at oi' plunge into deep water and there | drown. But this trap was set where the water was not deep enough for this purpose, All the young Muskrat could do was flounder and splash about in it and finally crawl back up on the log to which the trap was fastened by a chain. Sobbing under his breath he gnawed at the chain and gnawed at the trap He knew not what to make of it when he found that his teeth, strong and sharp as they were, made not the slightest im- pression. This frightened him all the more. Here was something that try as he might he couldn't fight, The thing wouldn't fight back, but it did hold on. It held on as if it meant never to Int go. "It must be a trap, It must be one of those things I was warned about," sobbed the young Muskrat, "I didn't suppose anything could hold on so. I didn't suppose that anything could hurt so. What shall I do? What shall. I "do? What shall I do? What shall I do?" There being no one there to an- swer that question, the youus Muskrat was no wiser than before.
