The Practice and Science of Gardening-3
'Summer Flowers'
F. W. COSTIN
.This is the first talk this term by Mr. F. W. Costin , Horticultural Superintendent of the West Sussex County Council. He is going to talk about the beautiful beds of flowers and herbaceous borders that are to be seen flaming in park and garden from now until the end of the summer.
He will tell you how these wonderful displays of colour are designed and arranged, and explain how the taller of the plants must be staked to keep straight stems ; how plants are stopped and disbudded for the purpose of obtaining finer flowers; how dead flowers are picked off so that the energy of the plant may be concentrated on producing fresh flowers and diverted from producing seeds-its chief purpose in life; and he will mention some of the species and varieties to be seen in summer

' Fair-time in Champagne'
RHODA POWER
Schools will be on their toes to hear the first dramatic interlude of the term, for they know by now how well Rhoda Power knows how to entertain them. The episode takes place at the end of the thirteenth century in an inn just outside the town of Provins in Champagne, where preparations are being made for the fair, the great event of May.
You will hear a merchant, a banker, and one of the officials of the fair, discussing the importance of the fair for them all, and a wandering jongleur, or singer, singing about it. The little play ends with a toast drunk to ' Trade which ties the world together-international trade, and may the world never loosen the knots ! '

'Instinct in Insects'
L. HUGH NEWMAN
Last week, in the final talk on Filming Plants and Animals, the ground was covered from the amateur cinematographer's point of view, and in this new series subjects will be discussed that are suitable for the cine-camera.
This evening, in the opening talk,
L. Hugh Newman , son of the well-known entomologist, L. W. Newman , will pass on to listeners some of the interesting observations he has made while helping his father on their butterfly farm at Bexley, Kent.
On this peculiar farm many thousands of insects are bred during the year for a number of purposes. Hugh Newman will describe some of the apparently ' clever ' actions of insects, and give examples from the life histories of some of our British insects. He will describe experiments he has carried out on the butterfly farm to study such things as wireless telegraphy in insect life and methods of insect's preservation.

' I readily submit this work', Wagner said of Tristan und Isolde, ' to the severest test based on my theoretical principles '. In fact, he ' forgot all theory ' and was conscious of having gone beyond his ' system '.
The third and last act of Tristan is the great climax of the drama. The music is, perhaps, the most dramatic in character and magical in effect that Wagner ever wrote.
The curtain rises upon the desolate ground before Tristan's castle. Tristan lies on a couch dying from the wound inflicted by Melot's sword. While Kurvenal is tending him, a shepherd, who is watching for the arrival of Isolde's ship, is heard piping a plaintive tune.
Tristan opens his eyes and murmurs: 'The old refrain; why, does it waken me ? Where am I ?'
Tristan's thoughts turn to Isolde, and Kurvenal tries to comfort his anguish by telling him that Isolde is expected at any moment and it may be possible for her to heal his wound. Tristan imagines that he can see Isolde's ship, but the shepherd's doleful pipe tells him that he is mistaken. Tristan becomes delirious and finally sinks back exhausted.
At last Isolde's ship arrives, and the shepherd pipes a happy tune. Tristan tears the bandage from his wound and staggers to his feet to embrace Isolde, who gently pushes him back on his couch.
The Love-glance motive is heard and as it works up to a climax Tristan dies in Isolde's arms.
In the meantime, King Mark and his followers disembark from their ship and Tristan's men, thinking they have come to take Isolde, start a fight. Kurvenal avenges Tristan by killing Melot, but is himself mortally wounded. The Love-death motive is now heard very softly on the orchestra, and it is gradually built up to an ecstatic climax. Isolde gazes at Tristan until, carried away with rapture, she falls on his body and dies. ' ,
