FOREIGN NOTES. 

 Monument to Calvet. 



The inauguration of the monument 

 to the eminent French chrysanthemum 

 raiser, the late Ernest Calvet, took 

 place recently in the cemetery at 

 Grenoble, 



The memorial is in the form of a 

 large bronze medallion. It represents 

 a bust of the deceased with chrysan- 

 themum blooms on one side. Around 

 the bust is a band bearing the inscrip- 

 tion "1852 Ernest Calvet 1910." At 

 the bottom are the words "A Calvet 

 les Chrysanthemistes." 



The inauguration ceremony was a 

 semi-private one by request of the 

 family. On behalf of the French 

 Chrysanthemum Society M. Philippe 

 Rivoire formally made the presenta- 

 tion to the family, pointing out the 

 great services deceased had rendered 

 to the world's horticulture. A few 

 words of thanks in reply came from 

 Capt. Donillet, the son-in-law of Calvet. 



Munchausen and the Cherry Stones. 



We all remember reading in our 

 young days the Cherry Stone story 

 of Baron Munchausen. Something 

 akin to that is just now reported in 

 the English papers. It appears that a 

 remarkable surgical case is reported 

 from Haverford (West). Whilst a 

 young man was being operated upon 

 for appendicitis the presence of an 

 apple pip was revealed which had not 

 only set up inflammation, but had ac- 

 tually begun to germinate. Next one, 

 please! C. HARMAN PAYNE. 



Yes; here it is. ancl frnm no less aTi 

 Buthorltv than the Providence Journal. It 

 flevotes a half column to a story of the 

 wonderful entomological discovery of a 

 "leading apiari.st" of Rhode Island, where- 

 by he has succeeded In crossing the bee 

 with the lightning bug and producing a 

 honev-gatberer that will work all night by 

 aid of the bright illumination from their 

 own bodies. The only drawback he can see 

 Is that the brilliantly lighted hives will at- 

 tract mosquitoes'. Next?— Ed.
