Obituary 



Prof. Lucien M. Underwood. 

 Professor Lucien M. Underwood of 

 Columbia University died by his own 

 hand at his home in Redding, Conn., 

 on Saturday, 16th Inst., after attempt- 

 ing to first iiill his wife and daughter. 

 His wife was seriously cut, but will 

 recover. Temporary insanity, due to 

 recent money losses, is believed to 

 have been the cause of the tragedy. 

 Prof. Underwood was a botanist of 

 high standing and had occupied the 

 Chair of Botany at Columbia for the 

 past eight years. He was born at 

 Woodstock, Vt., 54 years ago. From 

 18S3 to 11S91 he was professor of bi- 

 ology in Syracuse University. He then 

 accepted the chair of botany at De 

 Pauw University, Indiana, and left in 

 1895 to take charge of the biology de- 

 partment of the Alabama Polytechnic, 

 Auburn, Ala., going to Columbia the 

 following year. He was the author of 

 many text books and treatises on 

 botany, especially on native ferns. 

 Among his best known books is Our 

 Native Ferns and Their Allies, first 

 published in 1891 and followed by a 

 number of later editions.

The Pulverized Manure Oo., of Chi- 

 cago, have received a very convincing 

 testimonial from Bassett & Washbura 

 as to the efficacy and economy of the 

 "shredded manure," backed up by an 

 order for KOO tons. They say "in mak- 

 ing manure water it is fully three to 

 four times as strong as the rough ma- 

 nure. The advantages of its even 

 quality and the easy and unobjection- 

 able way of handling the manure, not 

 a pound being wasted, makes it cheap- 

 er in our opinion than the rough ma- 

 nure which we can get for simply the 

 cost of freight and loading."
