He went to her yard to see it and identified it as a fine specimen of the Dog-horn mushroom (Mu tinus caninus), a mushroom rarity in Madison and Dane county. On only two or three occasions in 20 years have specimens of this mushroom been found in and near Madison and displayed at meetings of the local club. With it was another specimen in the undeveloped or egg stage. Because of their very uncommon occurrence both specimens were sent by Brown to the university herbarium in the Biology building to be dried and preserved in the Wisconsin mushroom collection. This interesting mushroom has the form of a tapering pointed cylinder.

somewhat resembling a human finger. At Its base are the torn remains of the whitish egg from which it emerged. Its color is a bright rarely white. It is a member of a mushroom family known as stink-horn fungi and which are characterized by a very offensive odor.

9. Fluorine Results Told by U. W. Men Adding fluorine to drinking water prevents dental decay, according to the results of experiments on animals, carried out by University of Wisconsin biochemists. So far, it has not been possible, however, to add enough fluorine to reduce the number of cavities by 90 per cent without causing a mottling of the teeth, particularly the incisors and third molars, the scientists warned.

The statement was made by James Shaw, B. S. Schweigert, Marie Zepplin, Paul Phillips and C. A. Elvehjem.

The findings indicate that if fluorine is added to city water, great care must be taken to keep the amount below the danger point, the statement said. How helpful it may be to use a small amount of fluorine cannot be predicted on the basis of the animal experiments conducted thus far, but indications are that some protection can be expected. When we used fluorine of 15 parts per million for cotton rats, an amount which may be compared with one part per million for human beings, there was no mottling of the teeth and there was a slight reduction in the number of cavities. Other animal experiments showed that dental decay can be greatly reduced by using diets high in protein and fat but low in sugar. Perfect teeth resulted when cotton rats were fed nothing but mineralized whole milk.
