The Closing of Flowers.

OF few familiar plants the hours OF
opening are about as follows: Morning
glory, from 3 to In !. pimpernel, to
10 a. m. maryel of Peru, 4 y 3 p, NJ !; !;
night-blooming cereus, to 8 p. m. The
hours of closing are asdefnite as those Of
opening, and thus we may arrange quite 8
dial, the hours being indicated BY patticn-
lar plants. The plants, may be confused
by means of artif6sllight, but upon with
drawals of the unnatural conditions will,
sooner or later, resume their norma, record.
It is curious to watch the different atti-
tudes flowers assume in repose. In the
botanic garden in Cambridge the writer
used to 90 out toward evening to watch
the changes. The movements are some
times very quick, especially those Of the
foliage, which also has its time for sleep.
Thus in the little narsilia, water plant,
with four obcorcate leaflets, these turn in
upon each other from the expanded condi.
ton 50 as to meet face to face. There il
quite perceptible little ''click" when the
movement occurs. The petals of somt
plants droop in slumber; others fold cross
wise: still others curl up lengthwise. s.

whole aspect of q garden is, hence, quit
changed in the evering; in fact, it doe
not do to allow our investigations to ceas
with rh> '"ylight.

An Important Labor-Saving Device.

In the building of railroads new-labor-
saving devices are from time to time
coming into use. The latest heard of
is pillow now in use by several COM
panies extending their roads in the
Western States and Territories. 1t is
designed to dig ditch and at the same
time throw dirt on the track for the
purpose of raising the grade on imper-
fectly prepared roadbeds, upon which q
track may be temporarily laid. This
plow weighs $500 pounds and will be
attached to fiat car, which is loaded
down with several tons of iron, so that
it cannot be thrown from the track.
The plow, moved by locomotive power,
cuts furrow eighteen inches deep and
three and half feet wide, and throws
the dirt ON the track. One plow does
the work of 1000 men with shovels, OF
prairie land, while with pillow on each
side of the track, if desired, double the
work is done. 1t frequently is the cast
on prairies and through valleys tina
long stretches of track may be laid with
out any grading at all, and with ma
chine of this kind to perfect the tract
afterward, a. wonderful amount Of worl
can be done in short time with fev
men.

The RothschiId Family of MiIlionaires.

The Rothschilds have been attracting
no little attention to themselves in Paris
by the announcement of the extension of
the act of partnership to 1905. The
Paris branch of the famous family Is
quite large. The dowager Baroness
Rothschiid, who lives in the family man.
sions in the Rue LATTE, had five chill
dren-Baroness Alphonse, who Is at this
date at the head of the family Baron
Solomon, who died long time ago
Baron Gustave, Baron Edmond, and the
Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild. The
venerable dowager is a veritable foun-
tain of charity. She gives away hun
dreds of thousands of francs every year.
In the summer she lives In splendid
houso at Bologne, where apartments OF
each of her SONS and daughters are kept
constantly in order Baron and Baroness
Alphonse Rotilschild live in the old man.
sion in the Rue st. Florentine, where
Talleyrand once resided. They are gay
and are extremely fond of society, and
are seen everywhere i'll the monde. The
Baroness is one of the most accomplished
equestriennes who frequent the Bois de
Boulogne. Her husband is an enthusl-
astic patron of the turf. He has his
stables at Meantrif and Chantilly, and
lavishes millions on them. Solomon
Rothsclfld was a delicate-minded man,
fond of conversation, books, pictures and
society. His widow has daughter who
will, it is said, be the richest heiress in
the Paris family. Baron Gustave is the
only one who has married outside the
family. One of the sons of the late
Nathaniel Rothschild has just purchased
the splendid mansion of Count Toistol,
in the Avenue de Friedland: and another
named Arthur spent his life IL collecting
books. 1t is said that no one else in
France, except the Duke d'Aumale, pos
sesses such inestimable treasures of rare
editions and curious binding as this
young Rothschild. One of the latest
additions to the delegates to Paris OF
this phenomenally rich family is Baron
Adolphe Rothschild of Naples, who has
closed out his business and retired with
the serenity of conscience promoted by
the knowledge of the possession of for
tune of 1SO, 900, 900 francs. He may be
seen now and then in the Bois, lolling
negligently in the blue carriage, which
is one of the peculiarities of the house.
He is great collector, and will spent
hundreds of thousands Of francs upon
any trife he happens to consider he must
have. There is but one Catholic In the
family, and that is the young Duchess Of
Grammont, who, it will be remembered,
was the daughter of Baron Rothschild
of Frankfort-on-the-M Main, one of the
richest members of the group.

Graves at Culloden.

Many will be interested to learn that
the graves or trenches in which the
bodies of the unfortunate Highlanders
were buried after the battle Of Culloden
are being cared for by the present pro-
prietor of the estate OF Culloden.
Formerly the graves were distinguish
able in the level green sward at the
roadside only by the slightly-raised sod.
But stones bearing the names of the
clans have Just been erected at the head
of each trench. On one stone Is In
scribed the names of the clans "M-
Gillivray, M'Lean and MLauchlan,
and there are separate stones for ''Clan
Stuart of Appin," "Clan Cameron. and
'sClan Macintosh. Two graves are
marked "Clans mixed" At the abortlve
"ereat cairn" a slab has been placed
bearing the following inscription
.sThe battle of Culloden was fought on
this moor, 18th April, 1746. The graves
of the gallant Highlanders who fought
for Scotland and Prince Charlie are
marked by the names of their clans.
The interesting prehistoric remains a

italian Poison Antidote.

NJ. Bellini, of Florence, advocates the
use of iodide of starch as an antidote for
poisons in general, and, as it has no dis
agreeable taste and is free from the irri-
tant properties of iodine, it can be adj
ministered in large doses also, without
fear in all cases when the poison Is un-
known. 1t viii be found very efiicacious
in poisoning by sulphuretted hydrogen
gas, the alkaloids and alkaline sulphides,
ammonia, and especially by alkalies, with
which iodine forms insoluble compounds;
and it aids in the elimination of salts of
lead and mercury. In cases of acute poi
soning an emetic is to be given before
the antidote is administered.

THE IRISH AGITATION.


Free In Chicago-AileRed Misappropria-
ton Of the "Skirmishing Funa"-t harges
and Counter Charges at tho Palmer
House Meeting-Crowe Threatens Libel
Suits. 1871
CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Patrick Grove ar
rived here to,day and talked quite freely
about his plans. He claims to be here on
private business in connection with the
Palmer House meeting. He alleges that
the skirmishing fund, of which he claims
to have been the originator some years
ago, has been squandered, $4,000 of it
being lent by one of the members to
himself, $40, 900 used in building tor
pedo boat which never worked, but was
profitable to the ring, $4,000 going to
start an Irish paper in the high
lands of Scotland and the disposition of
the rest being known only to the leader
and insiders. Suspecting this state of
things, Grove and some fellow patriots
last year demanded o reckoning by the
managers of the fund, and failing to get it
they organized aseparate societyof Uni
ted Irishmen, started new fund which
amounted to IS, 900 or $40, 900, and it has
been religiously devoted to harassing
England and the total extinction of her
greatness. Grove intimates that the
Palmer house crowd are more interested
in keeping up contributions to
the diminishing fund than in
any more remote objects. He
repeats with gusto the schemes against
the peace and dignity of Great Britain,
with which he has heretofore RECALLED the
public, but nothing of new interest was
obtained from him. 80 -, g,e..f 49,
Since Sunday morning the Irish con-
vention has been pretty steadily investi-
eating the charges made by Keegan
against West, but Keegan has been I'M
willing to substantiate the history. To-
day, having referred to Capt. Mcflray, Of
Rhode Island, as authority, that individ-
ual, who was expectedly present, de-
nounced Keegan, and recommended
West as man he would vouch for. The
convention then adopted the report, ac-
quainting West of charges made against
him.
A Boston delegate was also under sus-
picion, and to avoid the deliberations OF
the convention he withdrew, awaiting a
vindication at later day. The president
of the meeting to-day said it was not held
in the interest of the dynamite system,
nor did it countenance that course. He
said the ancient order of Hibernians had
been asked to send delegates and would
not.
1t is alleged P. w. Grove intends
bringing suit against two Chicago
papers for libel for saying he had been in
the penltentiarY.

THERE is, unfortunately, too much
truth in the following from the Washing
ton Critic relative to the Presidents con-
dItion:
1.-THE Critic but represents a very wide
spread feeling when it sincerely calls atten-
tion to the fact that much more about Mr.
Garfeld's condition has been concealed than
told. We may instance the following facts,
vouched for by authority SO high as to be IN
questionable:
First-That no member of the cabinet has
seen President Garfield to hold any converse
ton with him since the second day of July.
Second-Only fourteen adult persons have
been admitted to the sick chamber for many
days past, namely the eight physicians, Mrs.
Ga1 field, Gen Swain, Col. Rockwell, the two
eectri clans, Bell and Taintor, and the attend
ant, Crump.
"Thrd-The physicians report no fever,
and yet they bulletin nearly every evening that
the Presidents pulse is 104.
"Fourth-The wounded Executive has lost,
by estimate, about forty pounds of flesh, and
some believe the amount will reach as high as
sixty.
"Fifth-There have been several important
cabinet consultations not given to the public,
involving the vital question of succession in
case the worst should result. In such la
ulculduit tNcuJ, IileTc WOuiu only Ue Que course
to adopt, namely, the plain one set down in
the constitution"
While the public would prefer to be-
lieve that the President is improving, the
conviction is general that the reverse is
the case. The physicians having care of
him can certainly add nothing TO their
reputation by deception, while a clear,
verified statement as to his present condi-
ton and future prospects would be most
acceptable, and relieve much anxiety or
prepare the people for the worst, which
is now greatly feared.

THE VEST REGUL4TING THE EAST

THE VEST REGULATING THE EAST
A New York evening paper reports
great excitement in that city yesterday
over the Chicago corner in August wheat.
It states that New York is the tail of
Chicago's kite, and when Chicago pulls
the string New York dances. This is an
admission that the star of empire is al
ready located in the West, and that the
producing regions are the masters of the
situation.
This squeeze is assuming proportions
which cause contemporary to indulge in
a little Renaissance. In 1872 a great
wheat corner was run in Chicago, which
was known as the Lyon corner 1t was
an August squeeze, and from the 4th to
the 10Th the price was advanced to $1.61.
At these prices the farmers rushed
their grain to market and the men
engineering the corner found they
could not buy all the wheat offered.
They were compelled to abandon it, and
