It is 80 cOpious that on one occasion,
when leaf was cut open ON which a
small cube of albumen had been placed
forty FIVE hours before, drops rolled off
the leaf. On another occasion, IN which
a leaf with an inclosed bit Of roast meat
spontaneously opened after eight days,
there was so much secretion In the fur
row over the midrib that it trickled
down"
Feeding plants on roast meat with an
eight days supply is very suggestive
transaction. All life and all wealth
come from growth. If 80, the first and
most pregnant inquiry is, how do plants
and animals, including man, live, grow,
possess health, vigor and multiply their
kind? No question is more direct, or
more practical than this. DAWN I'M

THE domain Of the New York Ma
tional Bank organs is about to be in-
vaded by a hostile organization. The
World and the Tribune have carried 1t
with high hand since the adoption Of
the Ohio platform, and the re-nomina-
ton Of Gov. Allen. The influence Of
the Bank monopoly in New York was
such. it was feared, that it would en-
tirely smother an expression Of popu-
lar sentiment. But it appears that
there is a movement on foot, IN which
some Of the leading politicians and
capitalists are taking great interest, to
give a substantial opposition to the
rawlings of the organs Of the monopoly.

movement, but among the names men

and Theodore TOmhnson. 1t is stated
that they only consider their work 10
be in a preliminary shape thus far, and
are not DESTROYS of appearing at pres

WIN. WRIT Henry eZplodes a Gu
rious story about his great ancestor
Patrick Henry, which finds place IN the
recently published Memoirs Of John
Quincy Adams" The story Is that IL
1924, John Taylor, Of Caroline, Va,
told Adams that in the Revolutionary
campaign Of 178I Patrick Henry had
proposed that Virginia should be the
first TO submit to Great Britain in or
der to obtain the most favorable terms.
Taylor was a lifelong antagonist Of
Henry, and the story IS improbable IN
itself, because at the epoch named the
prospects Of the Colonies were brilliant
Moreover no contemporary evidence
can be found. and certainly such able
patriots as Henry Lee and Edmund
Randolph would have used the story
against Patrick Henry, if it had any
foundation, when be opposed all the
weight Of his Cloqucnce against the
adoption Of the Federal Constitution
IN 17SS.
