With even AS small rs two ounce gloves,
will quail when brought face to face with
II pair of uncovered fists. No amount Of
coaching or training will cure them,
either. The fear of n bare fist seems
innate with some men and they can never
conquer this fear, although their pluck
has never been questioned when engaged
in a glove contest, no matter how wicked.
This peCularty is noticeable mostly
among the Germans. who have holy

A new principle for keeping plants
through the winter without artificial heat
was recently shown at Regents park.
London, with the plants grown in them
last winter. The essence Of the invention
is that all lil,ht and heat shall previously
pass through q shallow layer of water
The water is found to exercise great con-
troll over temperature, protecting plants
entirely from frost in winter and
from excessive direct heat in summer.
The application involves no difficulty. In
the ca>e of garden frame sliding
''water light about three inches deep. is
made to fit over the frame containing the
plants, the only difference from a glass
light being that il holds water and is al
ways placed in fiat position The depth
of water generally kept in the tank is
about two inches in summer and winter,
and half the depth in spring and autumn.

One Of the most popular amusemcuts is
kite flying. At certain seasons old and
young, rich and poor make unto them
selves kites and HE them to the hills.
You will sometimes see several thousand
people gathered together to watch the
sport or TO take part. The kites are often
large and fly very high Some have gro
tesque paintings others Koliau harps, a
few are Of odd shapes. The lines are
wound upon reels and are generally busted
with powdered glass. so that if You man
age to foul your line with that of some
one else it may cut his line and his kite
be lost, while yours still scars The more
kites You Cut loose the bigger feather in
your cap. In this lively amusement Miss
