Brown streaks have been at- tributed to everything, from the influence of the much-maligned moon to ‘acids from SéVeralt years ago an enquiry the speaker to investigate this subject. Sections cut from brown streaks in a num- ber of shingles proved that Polyporus schweinitzif was the cause. This raised an interesting question, Did the fungus de- velop {n air-seasoned shingles after they | were placed on a roof? The matter of strength did not enter into the proposition, as the extent of the decay was so small that the quality of the wood in this re- gard was not affected. The examination ‘of a number of old shingled roofs disclosed |the fact that in Western Washington the ‘fungus developed in the shingles of mossy roofs, which retain a high percentage of the precipitated moisture. This was checked up in the laboratory by one of our advanced students in forest »yroducts, Donald Clark; who has since graduated and is now serving the United States as a first lieutenant im the artillerrv. It was found that in sections taken from the Drown streaks of air-seasoned shingles and fhcubated under ideal conditions the fun- gus developed, though quite slowly.

We learn that after one of the early gas attacks on the Sritish near Hulluch, wher the gas clouds blew black on the Germans, they sustained over eleven hundred casualties, and as a result of a rigid inquiry and inspection by Ber- lin of eight hundred gas masks from cus- ualties, it was found that over 33 per cent of the masks were so defective thet their Owners were ceftain to be gassed. his led to a general inspection up and down the western front, and it was finally diseovered o that almost as great a percentage of all the German respirators were fu ly as in- efficient. This shows what faulty inspec- tion methods must ‘have been used, both in manufacture’ and when issued to the troops, and emphasizes the success with which the British combatted this inhu- man weapon. 6 s e s s That Italian saying regarding treacher- ous May weather, “May, lovely May, to thee thy roges, But to me my furs,” may have been very apropos in this lo- eality last month, but who could complain of the sample of weather now ‘being handed out?
