Natures Methods of Scattering Seeds

The methods by which seeds are distrib-
uted are most curious and interesting. The
legume of the pea splits along its two mar
gins, the two halves falling away from
each other and throwing off the seeds in
various directions. The seed cases of the
pansy and of the violet explode, scattering
the seeds forcibly.
In the gorse and the broom sudden
burst of the pods and a springlike twist OF
their two halves effectually dispense the
contents On sunny July days the crack.
ing sounds produced by the bursting peri
carps may be distinctly heard. The ma
ture fruit of Ecballum elater1Im separates
from its stock and elects its seeds with
great rapidity through the oriiice left by
the rupture The sporangia Of many ferns
(bracken) have an elastic ring, which is
probably intended for the energetic dis.
persal of the spores. In certain pines the
scales of the cone, when thoroughly dried
by the hot days of the summer following
TINT of its production, open with jerk
forcibly ejecting the winged seeds. Ere
quently II number will burst together, and
then the sound may be heard at great dis

Of July and August, by Secretary OF

that the ordinance which forbids the

A Question That Troubles Literary People.
A crucial question is, Typewriter, or no

subject, George Spinney, of the New York
Times, said, "Typewritten copy is much

managing editor of The World, agreed
that typewriter copy is the only perfect
copy to have" Richard Watson Glider, OF
The Century, replied; u much prefer type
written copy. 1t is better for the eyes and
more pacifying to the nerves" Mr., Car.

the fine old Italian hand in vogue among the
older authors, says that even thoroughly

A correspondent OF the Morning
News, writing from Dover under date
| of July 20, says: There is about as
much interest taken here in the expect.
cd and continuously waited-for doels-
ion OF the chancellor In the Whining
| tor tax case as there can possibly be in
Wilmington.
While the Democratic journals OF
| Kent and Sussex may editorially have
the tremors over the awful political
| depravity eyinced by those very bad
Republican leaders OF Wilmington who
paid for tax receipts In bulk, they
know full well that there is not a
| Democratic reader in either of thu two
lower counties who can DO guided with
the whited sepulehre editorial. hypocri.
| sy. The plain truth of the matter is that
the rule in Kent county for years has
been for the collectors of each hun
| dred-always Democratic-to meet
| with coterie of leaders in their re-
/ spective hundreds about the latter part
of February IN each year, and with
these leaders the collectors would go
over their lists and pick out all the
names of delinQuents known to be or
supposed to be Democratic. These
names would then DO marked paid, +
two or three OF the leaders giving the
collectors their joint bond for the pay
ment of the amount of the taxes,
| Sometimes the bond was paid In full
and sometimes 1t was not, but all the
same 1t went"
1t may he recalled that racket was
kicked up here in the spring of SO
over this matter. The Wolcottites
captured the Levy Court in 1853, and
hence had the majority of the collec.
tors OF the county. The Saulsburys
bolted In the fall of 1888, defeated the
| Wolcott county ticket, and when the
Wolcott collectors met In the spring
of 1859 1t was determined by their man
ayers, that the boilers should have
their wings clipped. So, in company
with the Republicans, the Salisbury
men by scores were turned down In
Wolcott hundreds and only well-knoHn
| WolCott men carried over"
There was some tall swearing done
when this matter leaked out; but the
Salisbury men did not do all of it
The more leNel-headed OF the Wolcott
men themselves openly condemned
the scheme, especially when they
| found the desperate straight they were
in last fall. In some way, however.
the matter was fixed up, aud whether
they were stalwarts or boilers, every
Democrat had tax receipt last fall.
All the same, this virtuous spasm
goes no further down here than for a
while comforting the features OF those
who try to get 1t off.

The telephone service In Baltimore
is about as unsatisfactory as II ls III
this city, and the probabilities are that
the company will either have to give
the people something in return foI
their money, or cease business In that
city. There arc about 800 telephones
in use in Baltimore, but at a meeting
Iof the subscribers, held about one
week ago, 600 decided, on account of
the service being so unsatisfactory, to
have the Instruments taken out and
employ messenger boys.
This will cripple the company TO such
an extent in that city. that it will be
obliged to quit the business, and un.
less the service IL much better In this
city than II has been for months, ii
will be well for the subscribers here to
do the same. At least half OF the
time, those at the exchange do not pay
he slightest attention to the calls, and
shut of the connection be.
tore the conversation is finished.
This is a matter that should be at
tended to, and il 1t is not, the com.
Ipnny may find themselves in the same
condition as they are In Baltimore.
The service is well paid for, and etii.
Client return should be rendered.
