If the Gear refuses the Jews the
right to live In Russia, and the Sultan
denies them an asylum in Palestine,
there viii be defiance of natural JUS
tice and of prophecy, all in one trans
action 1t is unlikely that any consider
able number of the expelled Jews
would care to go to Palestine, or would
thrive materially if they did go there,
but the spectacle of the unspeak-
able Turk holding the door against
them would be grotesque if it were not
to a degree pathetic.

a MISSING LINK. -
A Creature That Is IA Combination of AMI

NAL and Vegetable
One of the officers of the steamer
Mariposa recently had a sort of missing
link ON exhibition, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner 1t is a combination OF
animal and vegetable life called bull
rush caterpillar in New Zealand, in
which country it Tor they) is Tor are)
native.
The caterpillar part of the specimen
is Just an ordinary, everyday caterpll-
lar, of the kind scientists call the
sphooria robertsia-
The bulrlIsh part of il grows out OF
the back of the worms head, and but
for the fact that it has fork in 1t, II
could pose rs "a miniature American bull
rush of the kind commonly known as
cattails.
1t is about eight inches high, and has
''whislxers" at the top just as n cattah
has.
The caterpillar Is only three inches
long.
He was quite dead, of course, and
careful dissection showed that the root
of the bulrush had eaten out every par
ticIe of the worms interior, SO that the
hairy hide simply formed shell to
cover the root. .s,

Zealand in more profusion than this
particular variety of caterpillar does.
While the bulrushes are frequently
found without the caterpillar, it is sell
dom that the caterpillar is found with
out some bulrush is using him for a
negotiating pot, and the extra size of the
rushes that spring from the caterpillar
hat rbar.a &c IN narrlral affinity
for flesh on the part of the plant.
Those who have investigated the sub
iect of the strange combination state
that the caterpillar burrows in vege-
table soil prior to its metamorphosis,
and its burrowing gets some of the min
ute seeds of the bulrush lodged in the
scales of the neck. Nourished by the
warmth. moisture and richness of the
insects body, the seeds strike root into
the unfortunate caterpillar's brain.
The change into chrysalis is at once
stopped, and after few days the cater
pillar dies, whereupon the bulrush pro-
ceeds to convert the entire animal sub
stance into plant life.
The hide undcrgoes this change also,
but does not lose its form, and many
specimens possess the horns, legs and
claws intact. but for the transforma-
ton of substance from animal to vege-
table.
The bulrush pursues its way uninter
rupted until every pnrt of the cater
pillar is transformed, when it, too, dies,
and the bunch of seeds at the top blow
away to chase other worm victims
The native New Zcalander is very
fond of the combination when it is fresh
for food, and when evolution is COM

Sick Men Like to Have Good-Leokins
Nurses.
If ever a man likes to have pretty
woman near him it is when he is sick.
When a young man decided to go to a
hospital, says the Detroit Free Press,
his greatest induccment was the hope
of having one of the young and beau
tiful nurses he had read about in books
minister to him. He imagined a sweet
creature, tender and helpful, bending
over him, her charms enhanced by n
bewitching cap and apron.
When the doctor called the follow
ing day he found his patient restless
and disturbed. The hospital seemed to
have no charms for him.
'Homesiek, eh?" asked the doctor as
he felt his pulse.
''Oh, no."
''What is the trouble, then?"
Doctor said the young man family,
''it's the nurse
''Oh, 1 see. Too rigorous. But you
know that is for your own good"
"It isn't that. / expected she would
be young and beautiful, but she's old
enough to be my grandmother, and as
homely as a hedge fence"
''Au the better" said the doctor.
''You won't fall in love with her"
But the homely nurse scored sue
cess. AS the weeks rolled on she
waited upon the patient so kindly and
her service was SO faithful that he
outgrew the desire for the pretty face.
Another proof of the proverb; Hand
some is that handsome does"

The Phosphorescenee of diamonds.

In a recent article on Precious
Stones" most beautiful experiment in
the absorption of light by diamonds
which was carried out in Paris during
the exposition was referred to. On this
occasion n collection of one hundred
and fifty diamonds was placed in a dark
room. In n side of the room was in
serted n lens, outside of which an arc
lamp was hung. The lens, which was
employed TO concentrate the light, was
covered with violet-colored glass so
that only ultraviolet rays fell on the
gems, of which but three of the entire
number proved TO be phosphorescent.
All the others assumed beautiful
violet tint. The two stones whose
phosphorescence was most marked
were perfectly transparent white
stones, one having a BLUSH tinge. The
phosphorescence exhibited by these
stones is described as extremely beauti-
ful and remained visible with gradual
" diminishing intensity for fifteen
minutes after a metallic cap was put
over the lens.
