Second-Lieut. Ivor G. Dayies, j Wilts!!ire Kegt., formerly London Fusiliers, only son of Mr and Mrs Davies, Green Dragon Hotel, BlCOll, killed in action in France on the ¥th iust., aged 23. When the war broke out he was a clerk on the staff of the' Hay Branch of Barclay's Bank. Pfcoto by J. Clark, Brecon. j Private Gordon Quarrel), eldest son opf Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Quarrell, of High street. Brecon, was killed in action in France on the l,Zth inst., at the age of 22 years. I A lad of fearless and lovable disposition, he joined the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) I Regt. at Easter, 1015, and was in due course sent to France, where he went through some severe fighting. He was badly wounded with an explosive bullet at Loos in October, 1015, and was in a London hospital until after Christmas, when he rejoined his regiment. He went out to France again in March, 191(;, and had been there ever since, being in many stiff engagements. He was home on leave in August. 1917. He was educated at Brecon County School and the Colston School; Bristol, and was learning his father's business of florist and nurseryman at the Wisley Horticultural Gar- dens, Surrey, when his country's call came to him. He was greatly liked by all who knew him and will be sincerely mourned by his old school friends as well as by his comrades 016 the Queen's Regiment. Mr. Quarrell has received a letter from the captain oi deceased's company- which states :— I am deeply grieved to have to inform you that your son Gordon was killed last evening by a shell. His death was practically instan- taneous, and he oan have suffered no pain. The piece of shell entered just below his heart and he died a very few minutes afterwards as he was being carried to the Aid Post. He was buried this afternoon by a clergyman at 3-30 p.m. in a military cemetery north of Morlan- court. Myself alud some of his chums were present at the funeral. I need hardly say that after having known your soli intimately for nearly nine months, his death c as a very great shock to me. He was always cheerful and eager to do auything, no matter how irksome or dangerous the task might be. He was universally popular with everyone, and I am expressing the feelings of all who kr:ev him when I offer you and yours my heartfelt sympathy in your great loss."

OILS i-T.Olt THE AWTABGTIC. The results have been announced of an in- vistigastioa into a series of oils prepared during the Australasian Ant-arctic Errpedi- tior. These materials wwiucled soo-leopard oil, Wedde-'l-sc-al oil, and pengnin oil.. The oils have bteen carefully examined in order to 'determine their character in comparison wiih cstrmercial oils of a similar kind. They were found* to be of'good quality, and eo«ld be used for soap-meking, leather-dressing, burn-in?, &g. -I UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. _I There is considerable difficulty in at once dl:s-tiiil-iisliiii, between the lowest forms cf cniniais and plants, writes "L. E." in the A'wf/ia'ii rni,i{!. Although the animal gooer- ally possesses a mouth, and a stGtriadi in vrliieli to digest its vegetable food, there are some forms of animal life so simple as not to » pos:3t-,s either of these organs. In the sedi- ment from ponds and rivers there v.iil fre- qu be small irregular massee of living, moving matter. If these ace watched th.ey ^vill be found to move a.botw ltv-li clmnge their form eosistantly.

Cells are pro- in their inferior, which bud o."f frosn tise parent and lead 'the same life. These are called AflMfibas. Ai-diojjgh tile7 have no mouth or-' stomaoo they are refewed to in the animal kingdom. They appear to consist 'entirely of the formative nwi-t-t-ec found in the mterier of ail ceils, ceiled moto plane," I or saroode, witJoout Efny cell waH. rf we. sup- pose an to aaawne the form of [t if.c, njid ta set-id forth teetacles or minnie eien- ^gated preceseed* from all sidee. we sliouid lime the sua animalcule (Actitiophrys sol).

OF Some surprising facts regarding the migra- tions of mosquitoes and other hwcots have been discovered by-Professor S. C. Ball, wlio spent a month at Rei>eoca Shoat lighthouse during the stirnmer of 1-917. This lighthouse ifl isolated in tiie oecan, twelve nautieal miles from the nearest land, which is East Key, Tortugas, viiiia the nearest ragioa on which any considerable number of mosquitoes can l breed is Marquesas Atoll, twenty-four miles distant to the eastward. Breezes from the norta- and brought mosqurtoes to the lightkotvse, a^id in one case a. strong soutlierly wind brougljt them from Cuba, ninety-five miles away. Indeed, in seme instances there was evidenoe that tiiey were .brougb_t by fnvourabls winds from even more distant points; perhaps from Tampa. Bay, leo. miles distant! House flies and various other insects were also captured at the lighthouse. PRESERVING GREEN FOLIAGE. A disooverv of very great interest to botanists and others has been made. As is wett known, whoo plants have been dried by any of the well-known prooess-es (such as under pressure, in hot sand, or by sulphur fumes), the folmge loses most of i-ts natural greenness. To get anything rc-.sciriblhig a life- like effect, the leaves have had vt-o be auti- fiaialljr coloured, Mldtbi6 plan ha,, not proved to be very aavisE&otory. The difficulty has beeu entirely surmounted, says the Srimtifa American, owing to the faet that it has been found powb to "form a cfoemienl compound with the chlorophyll which is permanent. The method adopted is on the following lines. A boiling" solution of copper acetate and acetic acid is prepared. Into this the parts 01 the plants to be preserved are steeped. The acetate combines with the chlorophyll, and forma a pernianeitt colouring matter. What- ever the original sh,a-de of green may be, 'this colour is perfectly fixed. The drying pro- cess can then be carried forward. Where the particular method is that which preserves the form, as is the case when hot sand is used, the preserved plant is wonderfully life-like. The steeping in the copper acetate "appears to have no effect on the flowers. If the drying is carried out with sand or sulphur fumes, the original hues are usually well preserved. .> The plan described 600 has als*'been employed in the preservation of seaweeds with excellent results. For the brown Sea- weeds it has been found needful to add a little permanganate of potash to secure the be.-it ouect. With the red seaweeds certain eta-ins are used, but, when once the right colour is securcd, the copper acebalte fixes it I for all time. One great value of this plan is' Jthat the plants so treated do not suffer fuom I

TALYBONT-ON-USK WAR SHI NE, Dedicated by the Bishop -Of Swansea. A large number of people aasembled aite* the Sunday evening services on the 18th inst- 9 111 and from the parishes of Llanddotty. Llausatnttffted to witness the dedicatioti unveiling ofbhe Roll of Honour, presiv.ited d the three parishes by Mrs. Gwynne HoIfol' The site for this War Shrine had been, ably chosen, being at the Talybont end of Station road, in full view of all passers-by frt>z11 I the three parishes. It consists of a hands#? I mahogany board printed in bold type I commands ^attention and reverence. J occasion was rendered all the more interest"* I and impassive by the presence of the Bi^0? I of Swansea, "who performed the dedicatiol1 1 ceremony, and Mrs. Gwynne Hoi ford, B unveiled the Roll of Honour. M After the singing of the hymn" 0. God oat help in agevs past," taken up by the whole cOil course of people, his lordship explained object of the service and read a few impressi^ prayers. Mrs. Gwynne Holford then ii the Shrine To the Glory of God and to We honour of all the brave men gone to fight oilr I battles for the cause of Freedom and Right, and the dedication by the Bishop followed. In the course of a most appropriate a*1*: impressive address, his Lordship remai^ upon the extraordinarily appropriate nature the site chosen for the war shrine, because 1 emphasised the fact that a war shrine was n° ■ intended to be a permanent memorial to those ■ who had fallen, but was intended to be s ■ constant reminder to the passers-by of tl1Ø, sacrifices that were bepng made on beliaif 0 jK our country. And no more appropriate 'could have been found than the cross-roa where the new shrine stood. It should cO stantly remind them, when they gazed upon & V of the tremendous sacrifices being made by th1 B men whose names it bore, and should ir.:1pe S them to endeavour to make themselves v;ortl;{ w of such sacrifices, for they owed those men a deo ■ they could never repay.
