This in itself is an achievement of no mean order, andwhen the material is as beautiful as that used in this work itmeans a great deal. Marine mosaic, at present, is somethingnew, but it has doubtless an excellent future before it. A Living Sun-dial By W. A. Mount Stephen</i><br><b>Text Appearing After Image:</b><br><i>HE accompanying illus-tration depicts a livingsun-dial which may beseen in the grounds ad-jacent to one of the well-known castles in Lanca-shire, England. A well-trained yew-treeconstitutes the pin of the dial; the closelyclipped box the Roman figures. Thissun-dial has now been growing for nearlytwo hundred years, having been plantedin March, 1732. This fact is marked onthe dial by clipped box in the samemanner as the Roman figures. The outercircle denotes the hours, while the innerone denotes the quarters. The correctnessof this dial compares favorably withthose of modern construction. An inter-esting development of the clipped yew-tree so characteristic of English gardens.</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
