The Lungs OF q Plant.

One of the prettiest microscopical
studies is the examination of the lungs
of plant. Most people do not know
a plant has lungs, but it has, and its lungs
are in its leaves. Examined through
a high. power microscope, every leaf
will show thousands upon thousands OF
openings, infinitely small, of course, but
each provided with lips which, in many
species, ara continually opening and
closing. These openings lead to tiny
cavities in the body OF the leaf, aud by
the opening and closing OF the cavity
air is continually passing in and out, so
that the act of respiration is continually
going on. The sap OF the plant is thus
purified, just as the blood of an animal
is cleared of impurities By passing
through the lungs, and the average
sized tree will, therefore, in the course
OF day, do as much breathing as
man.-St. Louis Globe.Democrat.

THE DISASTER A CERTAINTY.

another Ocean Steamship Sights the Burn-
ing Ship, Which was Oil Laden.
LONDON. Jan. 22-The British steamer
Egyptian Monarch, at this port from NeY
York, reports that at 1 o'clock on the
morning of January 16, the steamer then
being in latitude 4So north, longitude 1870
west, she sighted wooden vessel, appar-
emily of American build, burning furiously.
Judging from the dense black smoke and
the odor, Captain Irwin thinks the burning
vessel was laden with oil. As the steamer
approached the burning craft, it was seen
that her masts were gone. Her bowsprit
was standing, and to it could be seen cling
ing two men. A hfeboat on the steamer
was hastily cleared away to rescue these
two men, but before it could hardly be
lowered the bowsprit fell and the two men
were precipitated into the sea- Efforts
were made to find them, but they were not
afterwsrd seen.
Captain Irwin thought it probable that
the boats from the burning vessel were
somewhere in the vicinity, and he, there
fore, remained near the spot until day
broke in the hope of picking them up. A
tremendous sea was running at the time,
and it is more than likely that if the crew had
managed to get away from their vessel they
were drowned by the capsizing of the small
boats. The burning vessel was undoubtedly
the same one reported yesterday as having
been seen on the same day in the same posi-
tion by the British steamer Imperial Prince.

The Huge Rock Topples Over Upon Several

PARIS, Jan. GA most peculiar and
fatal accident is reported from Dieppedallc,
in the Department of the Seine, Inferi-
cure. Near that town is high precipice,
ct the foot of which are number of honses.
This morning, without moments warn
ing, the rock at the top of the precipice for
distance of150 yards, crashed down with
laundering noise upon two buildings used
as laundries and another house, completely
burying them. 1t wasH thought that every
person in the. crushed and buried buildings
would be found dead, and there were many
volunteers who offered their services to ex-
tricate the supposed corpses. They had not
worked long before they heard moans and
cries and appeals for helm, which told them
that ali were not dead. 1t was not long be-
fore the rescuers had removed a man, who,
though badly injured, was still alive.
This gave heart to the workers and their
labors were continued until they had taken
20 persons, men, women and children, from
the ruins, all of whom were more or less in
jured. Two women were taken out dead,
their bodies being frightfully mangied. 1t
is thought that the breaking of OF the mass
of rock was caused by the freezing of the
water that had percolated into the many
riffs and crevices at the top of the preci-

wells in order TO get pressure enough to
force the city's gas from the field. With
out this they say the 81, 100000 already ex-

They allege that the Standard, with
whom Toledo has long struggled, has sur
rounded the city's territory with wells
draining its gas away while the pipe line
was building. The pressure has been re-
duced recently to 90 pounds, so that 4, 900
consumers lave received an Inadequate
supply. The refusal to grant the issue
means the practical abandonment OF the
line and great distress among the consumers,
as there is not wood or coal enough in town
to supply them three days.
Popular feeling runs high. The Stand
ard is giving a good supply to 5000 con-
sumers, and one faction declares it is an
octopus scheme to crush the city plant.
Others allege gross mismanagement and are
opposed to sinking more money in the ven
