Mrs. Gleason who accompanied him on these expeditions Into primeval wllda was loved and admired for her many gifts of mind and heart, her bright serenity when confronted with the oft-time perplexing problems of camp-life, her enthusiasm, and her abundant knowledge of the flowers and birds of those lofty regions, which made her so delightful and Inspiring a com panion In that happy forest-life. She has rendered valuable aid to her hus band by her exquisite sense of color, for her constant occupation while in camp is the faithful reproduction of water colors of every charming tint that is to be found in the rich flower life around her. In this way she has been able to make a priceless collection of flower-studies absolutely true to ev ery gradation of color, however subtle anoT evanescent, that is found In each individual flower. Together these two ardent nature en thusiasts have searched the mountain side for race species, and have discov ered In these unexplored fastnesses many beautiful alDlne flowers hitherto unknown, countless new mushrooms of glamorous tinting such as plunges the color-enthusiast Into an ecstasy, have been added to the list of fungi known to the ' world of science.

Entire Reconstruction of Human Face by Artificial Means in Paris. HARVES Metsger A Co., jewelers and opticians, 112 Washington street. From the London Dally Mail. The entire reconstruction of a human face by artificial apparatus, which has been achieved In Paris, as described in the 'Daily Mall" recently is proba bly unique. But there Is no need to go to Paris for artificial faces. All the necessary details -eyes, ears, noses, up per and lower Jaws, and even artificial cheeks and cheekbones can be pro cured In London. A visit to the London hospital showed a "Dally Mall" representative that Eng land, In fact, Is a pioneer In this Indus try. New noses are the features most in demand at the hospital Flnsen Light department. Most of the cases have been disfigured for years, and as they watoh the progress of, the cure under the light s rays the patients' vanity, which may have been overwhelmed for years by the disfigurement of the dis ease, comes to life aaln. The nOBes are made out of aluminum, and are daintily tinted to suit various complexions. They are minutely stip pled, and a few fine venules make them closely resemble nature. The Inventor and maker Is an ex eabinetmaker In Yorkshire, who, having lost his own nose by lupus disease was forced to find an artificial substitute. The result of his invention was so satis factory that now he has given up cabl netmaklng and devotes all his time to making aluminum noses, ears, etc.. chiefly for patients from the London hospital. There are four general styles of nose: The "ordinary English." - The aquiline. The classic Greek. The slightly retrousse. According to one of the nurses in the Flnsen Light department patients do not always follow their original type of nose, but choose one whose shape ap peals to them. A soldier, whose whole lower Jaw was carried, away by a bullet In the South African war, was a few years ago pro vided with new jaw, teeth, lower lip, and chin. In this rase most of the ap paratus wu mad of soft rubber. TIN BY MOTOR LATEST Growing Corn Becomes Bread in 4 Hours' Time With British Farmers. From the London Express. The reproach so often levelled against British agriculturists that they are slow and unprogresslve can never be raised again after a demonstration of motor harvesting given at Klrton (Lines.) yes terday, when loaves were handed round baked from corn that had been standing in the fields four hours before. The demonstration, which was given on ihe farm of Messrs. Dennis brothers one of the largest In the kingdom showed that In up-to-date farm work England Is well ahead of most coun tries. Several remarkable feats were accomplished. An acre of standing corn was marked out In the fields, out, bound, threshed and ground by ' motor Implements. An acre of ground was also plowed, drilled, harrowed and sown with a new crop within seven and one half hours. This constitutes a worlds record. At 11:35 the tractor started Its work by taking the threshing drum Into the cornfield. Five minutes later It began to draw two harvesters. These not only cut the corn but bound It. Half a dozen men walking behind stacked It. and In exactly 15 minutes what had been an acre of growing crop was standing on the field ready to De placed on the cart which the tractor proceeded to draw round the field. ' ' By 1 o clock the corn was lylne at the side of the threshing ' drum. The tractor then got Into position to drive the thresher. At 10 minutes past 1 a halt was called for luncheon. As soon as the threshing began the flour began to come out of the mill, which was be ing worked off a pulley on the thresh ing drum. Roswell B.
