How the Executive Mansion cans 60 Bsas
This simple Name.


The residence OF the President of the
United States Is officially known as the
Executive Mansion. which means that
il Is the residence OF the head OF the
executive branch OF the Government;
but II is seldom called. In ordinary

Is a very unpretentious title. and II Is

full Of white houses. came 10 bear this
simple name as It's special property.
The explanation is easily found. The
first executive mansion at Washington
was occupied In 1900. IL was built OF
freestone and was unpainted; but In
1914 the British army occupied Wash
ington. and burned. with other public
buildings. the Presidents house. ieav-
ing II hlaekened ruin.
The house WAS built on the same site
and the same walls were used In Its
construction; but they were so dis
colored by smoke that, on the sugges-
tion OF General jackson. they were
painted white. not only TO improve
their appearance, but In token OF the
successful defiance of British fire by
the American Republic.
The mansion soon became the white
House in the mouths OF the people on
account OF its dazzling color. and from
that day 10 this IL has been repainted
white every ten years. Its name com
memora,es a patriotic feeling. there
fore. as well as serves to describe the
appearance Of the mansion. for the
original coat OF white paint was sori

British. and every subsequent coat ha'
served to perpetuate the protest.

FOLIAGE DEVELOPMENT.
One OF Darwfa's Theories Verified by -
CierEyman's Experiment.

CierRyman's Experiment.
Many years ago Darwin drew atten-
ton 10 the fact that the leaves OF plants
placed themselves ut night In widely
different positions from what they hold
during the day. but with one point In
common-that their upper surfaces
avoided facing the zenith. This. With
the additional fact that they come IN
contact with opposite leaves and leaf
lets, seems To indicate that the object
gained is the protection OF the upper
surface from being chilled al night by
radiation. Prompted by this obserya-
ton Rev George Henslow has been en-
