THE PRIMEvAL POTATO.
How Prosecuted by Beasts and Birds, It
Invented the Tuber.

Invented the Tuber.
In some unknown region in the new
world. probably somewhere about the
highlands Of Peru-for the origin of
the potato, like that OF Jeames da la
Plunche, and other important person.
ages is ''wrop in mystery there grew,
at that precise period of history known
to chronologers as 'once upon time,"
solanaceous plant peculiarly persecu-
ted in the struggle for life by the per-
sistent attention of too many hungry
and herbivorous admirers. In such case
the common resource of any ordinary
Inscriptions member of the solanum
family would doubtless have been to
adopt the usual solanaceous tactics of
poisoning these its obtrusive friends
and actual enemies. Any other solanum
would have filled its stem and leaves
with narcotic juices and made itself
exceedingly bitter to the taste, so that
the beasts and birds, disguised at the
first bite, would have desisted from the
vain attempt to devour it. Not SO the
father of all potatoes. That honest
and straightforward plant declined to
have recourse to such mean strategy.
Hard pressed by herbivores in
the struggle for existence it struck
out new line for itself and for Ireland.
1t invented the tuber. And what is
the tuber, which natural science, thus
acting upon the necessities OF the prim.
oval potato, succeeded in producing
for a hungry world? Essentially
and fundamentally it is not, as most
people imagine, a root. but an UNDER
ground branch, bearing buds and unde-
veloped leaves on the surface, which
we know as eyes, and capable of doing
all the work of a branch in producing
foliage, flowers and berries. All that
Is peculiar to the tuber, viewed as a
branch, sums itself up in two cardinal
points. First it happens to develop
under ground Gan accident which, as
we all know in the familiar cases of
layers and suckers, may occur with any
ordinary branch any day.; and, Sec
ondly, it is large. swollen, and soft,
because it contains large reserves of
material. laid up by the plant in this
safe retreat to aid the future growth of
its stems and leaves in second season.
A tuber in fact must be regarded merely
as one of the many plans adopted by
plants in order to secure for themselves
continuity of existence. In woody
shrubs and trees the material laid IN
by the individual to provide for next
years leaves and flowers is stored in
the inner bark, which does not die; and
this accounts for the way in which such
trees as almonds. mezereon and pyrus
japonica are enabled to blossom in
early spring before the foliage itself be-
gins to come ut.-COrnhill Maeazina.

4aROBBER TANTlA BHEEL

midas Robin Hood Makes a Full Con-
s.S fessfOn of Crimes.
Tantia Bheel, the bold Robin Hood of
the Central provinces in India, who was
recently captured, has just made full
confession. Fifteen years ago he left
his village and took up the occupation
OF cultivator of land. He committed
some minor police offense and was SEN
fenced to a years imprisonment in the
Nagpore jail. He was subsequently, i'm
prisoned in Jubbulpore jail, and on his
release settled in Holkar's territory,
but was forced to take refuge in the
jungle to escape arrest consequent on a
false charge of robbery. He carried on
petty depredations for year, and was
arrested and imprisoned in Khundwa
jail, whence he managed to escape.
He then formed dacoit band and
commenced robberies on an extensive
scale. His first dacoity was accom-
panied by murder, and his men next
pillaged and burned a village. In one
of his raids policeman's nose was cut
off. Subsequently Tantia raided
Pokur, where he cut off the nose
of, a woman who had helped to
betray him, and he robbed her
daughter-in-law of all her Jewels.
Ala robbery in the Behut district he
again cut off a policeman's nose. For
the. last two years, being much harassed
by both the Central Province and Hol-
kar's police, he got tired of his Jungle
wanderings; he was growing old, and
his eye-sight was failing. On commence
ing his career he could travel sixty
miles on stretch, but now not more
than twenty. The greater portion of
his time was spent in Holkar's TERRITORY,
He had never killed any body himself,
but had robbed the rich to help the
poor. Last year he distributed 5000
rupees among the poor on the banks of
the Norbudda. He haI frequently pur-
chased bullocks for poor people.
He was eventually arrested through
the treachery of a Gumpoot Raipoot, to
whom he had frequently given large
sums of money, with which the latter
had promised to buy pardon. He had
latterly suffered severely from want of
food and malaria through sleeping with
out shelter in the rain. He states that
other bands are now committing extern
sive robberies in his name. Rajaram,
native magistrate, accused of partici-
pating in Tantia's robberies, has been
convicted by the sessions Judge and sem
fenced to seven years rigorous impris-
onment and fined $4,000 rupees. Pail

A CLEVER .IMITATOR.
Strange DoIngs Of Washington's Scienti1
Frankenstein.

Strange DoIngs OF Washington's Scientific
Frankenstein.
There is another queer genius con-
nected with the National Museum in
the person of Prof. Henley, who is ia
miliarly known as 1.-The Wizard of the
National Museum" His particular
forte is in making perfect limitations OF
any object from a diamond to human
being, the appearance, weight and size
in each instance being perfect. His
imitation of grapes, bananas peaches
and other fruits are marvellous. They
not only appear natural to the eye, but
also to the touch, having the same pill
ability, color, etc., as the original. The
professor latest and grandest achieve
ment, however, is the manufacture of
human ears and noses to take the place
of natural members which have been
lost in fights or by accident. The ad-
vertisement of Chicago man who had
lost his right ear while fighting with
his brother induced Henley to make
experiments for the production of arti-
fetal flesh. The unfortunate Chicago
ian offered $3.50 to any one who would
satisfactorily supply him with an
other ear: Henley undertook the
task and succeeded. In his laboratory,
in the Fish Commission building cor.
ner OF Sixth street and Maine avenue,
several specimens of his skill in this
direction can be seen. They are hang
ing on the wall-three ears and two
noses-and the sight of them recalled
my visit to the dissect-room. The
noses and ears are perfectly pliable,
colored the natural hue of human
flesh, and can not be effected by either
heat or cold. ..~ 1913.
"rhey will stand the temperature
fifty below Zero" said Professor Hen.
ley, without danger of being FROST
bitten" ...
The most striking popularity about
them is that after being affixed to the
patient both ears and noses will assume
and maintain with regularity the tenn
perature Of the patients body.
Out of the same composition Henley
has made large slice of beefsteak, the
appearance and touch of which would
deceive the most expert cook. Wash.

FAITH IN DOUBT.

There once did live, nor very long ago,
man whom all as wise and good did know,
An Gged man who long had lived alone,
OF whose LIES history naught was ever
known
BY the poor simple folk he lived among
So long; yet all, especially the young,
BY intuition seemed to feel and know
That he could understand their every W oe
Gas thus he truly seemed) and oft they went
And told their troubles to him, simply bent
On getting, what they could ne'er fail to do,
True sympathy and helpful counsel, too.
1t CHANGED one day there came to him a youth
In bitter mood, yet who in words of truth
Told all the doubts that now assailed his
mind,
And unbeliefs for which he could not find
lasting help. Full kindly, patiently,
The old man listened. At the close said he,
In gentle tones: "Why CONTEST thou to me,
MY son, to tell me things that trouble thee?"
Full promptly answered the unhappy youth:

Thou didst delude myself that thou hadst

'Truly, in Mee!" said the puzzled one.
4ue Ola man paused IN CnOuSnCfui silence,
then,
At length, with serious air, he spoke again {:
'sYet all that good that thou dost see in me
Is a small part of that Infinity,
That All, that Over-Soul, who worlds doth
guide.
Thou dost believe in God, wnate'er thy pride
Or ignorance may cause thy lips to speak,
For thou believ'st in goodness. Wouldst thou
seek
For it, or know 1t when twas found If so
1t had not been? Thou doubtest God? All.
Whilst thou canst love and trust human

Whose goodness is part of Gods great
whole"
More calm and hopeful than for many day,

James Russell Lowell,s Hobby.

A gentleman was telling me lately
that among the hobbies of James Rus
sell Lowell is one concerning the admix-
ture of the Jewish with the European
Christian races Mr.. Lowell holds that
about eight hundred of the greatest
families in Europe and America, which
are reputed to be orthodox Christians,
have the Jewish STRAIN in them. After
he had proved to his own satisfaction
that such was the case, he was mis-
chievously asked if this view came from
any personal interest, whereupon he is
said to have replied: "Why, yes, OF
course. Every body named Lowell and
Russell has the Jewish strain in them -
He then went on to show the derivation
of Russell, and said that all the Russell
or Derby family in England were of
partial Jewish stock. The same is the
view taken by Renan in his works that
the Christian and the Jew together have
built up the system of civilization, but
in that case also, the wish may baya

Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.

Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not a snuff or an
ointment both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt Of three cents in stamps to pay
postage by A. II. Dixon Il Son, cor. Of John
