prominent East Water-stfeet merchant,
''the unusual procedure is their going out
to Wauwatosa, so that the rabbi could
avoid the jurisdiction Of the Church here,
as it would require an order from the
President of the Church for them to get
married in the city,"
A REP tier called upon Dr. Moses and
requested his statement. He acknow-
ledged performing the marriage cere-
mony, and said that he belonged to the
class of radical reformers who would just
as well have celebrated this ceremony,
even without the verbal confession of
faith which was given. He said that tho
affair would certaiuly create great sensat-
ion all over the United States as well as
Europe among the orthodox cirlees of the
Jewish community. He was of the
opinion that any marriage that is recog-
nized as legal by the State is and must
be legal from a Jewish standpoint, and
said: 'I do not finch from carrying out
what in principal has been recognized as
right by the State. Some years ago a
similar case came up and took up much
newspaper space. The minister in that
case had solicited the opinions of the
most prominent rabbis Of this country,
who, however, as customary, among the
theological gentlemen, differed materially
on this point, DR.. Fetzenthal, of Chicago,
holding the same view taken by me.
This question is Of great interest, from
the fact that the reformed Judaism is
still fermenSing and developing to d mort

A Mystery in Plant Life.

A Washington letter says: There may
be seen at the house of MI. Loomis, of
the Nautical almanac office, curiosity
and a mystery in plant life, which is at
tracing the study of some eminent
botanists. The gentleman, himself an
excellent botanist, dug up q glass dish
full of a common fern, Aspleniatna
orichonaancs, while visiting the White
Sulpher Springs in Virginia last autumn,
and carried the plants home to ornament
chamber. What was his establishment
| to observe, after his return, that several
| fronds of the ferns maintained steady
movement thro' from twenty to forty de-
grees, similar to that made by the crook
ing of q finger or the swinging of pen
| dulum This movement continuing, he
became more and more interested,
searched for information among the
books and botanists and finding no ex-
PLANTATION, wrote to Professor Asa Gray
of Harvard college for solution of the
mystery. That eminent authority not
only had none to offer, but expressed
the greatest desire to study personally
so extraordinary a phenomenon, and
while in Washington recently in connec-
ton with the annual meeting of the re-
gents of the Smithsonian institute he
passed much time in close scientific
study of the ferns, and mentions the
fact in the March number of the BOtaa-
zeal Gazette. The fronds have preserv-
| ed their curious movements all winter,
showing greater energy in the sunlight
than when under the influence of gas
jets, but nevertheless maintaining a
steady swaying movement. The little
fernery is exciting attention in scientific
circles quite out of proportion to its tiny
area, being constantly visited by persons
well-knoWn for the highest scholarly at
tainments.
