Plants Without Roots.

On first thought ono would say that
it was as much of an impossibility for
plant of any kind TO grow without
roots as it would be for any tree, vine
or plant to bear fruit without first hay
ing blossoms. There are, nevertheless,
several well-kuown exceptions to the
general rule in this as we'll as in other
matters. The largest species of root
less plants are the "sea weeds" of the
Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans,
In plants of the sea weed kind the
structure varies considerably, some
being merely microscopic vesicles,
while others have vines and stems as
large as the average forest trees.
Some writers even claim that Maori
cvstis, a sea weed of the South
Pacific, often grows to be 20 TO so
feet in diameter and 1900 to 1000 feet
in length. In no case do any of these
have roots, in the p roper sense, their
nourishment being absorbed from the
water by all parts alike.
Other smaller but perhaps better
known species of rootlcss plants are
SIENNA or duck meat, water house
leek, a Georgia plant resembling
garden lettuce, and the common fus-
Gus of tho Gulf of Mexico. The
witch plant, which is the establishment
of the native Australians as well as
the foreigners, resembles our COM
mon plantain in tho matter of leaf.
Six or eight of these leaves, some
times an inch and three-quarlers
broad and five inches long, often
spring from single STOOL" which
sits on nat bare spot without The
least sign of rootl Several well at
tested marvels of plant life could be
mentioned, but their addition would
make this article too long for this de-
partment. -TSt. Louis Republic.

Cause Of yarlegatlOn Of Leaves.

The varicgascd color Of leaves, "a in
some kinds of gcraniums end tie
colcns, is believed to be due to some
kind Of disease Or defective growth.
This varicgalion is called spoising,
and is not propagaicd by seeds, but
only by cuttings of tho plant. In tho
case mcntioaed, in which variegated
gcranium, eut back to tho ground,
throws up number of new stems. of
which solhe$car green leaves and tie
others white ones, the sporting takes
anothof form, aud as these stems all
proceed from buds in the main stem
some Of the buds arc evidently stronger
ilian shc others, but why.they should
exactly alternate it is difficult even 10
suggest. 1t may be possible, however.
that 0hc plant SO severely cutback has
made anatural effort 10 turyive the
injury aud has produced more Wig
orous growth from some of the buds,
and thcses more vigorous stems bear
tho green leaves. There are often
cases analogous TO this which go to
show that Plants possess the same
power as animals to make an unusual
effort TO qxist under unfavor-
able circumstances, and this seems to
be an instance Of this class. The green
stems are the larger because they are
the strongest aud this is also the reason
why they are green. A curious case
ALI d to this occurred in tho writer's
experience lately. A potato which had
pretty purple striped blossom, but
which had never been known TO bear
a seed ball, had Boom cut for
bouquet and aftcrward was set in tho
ground in the garden. 1t took root
aud made seed ball and u small po-
tato at the root. Here was case of
natures effort to survive and pcrpetu-
ate the plant under unusually depress-
ing circumstances. At least we look
ut it in that way. And as the tuber
was very weak one, The small plant
produced seed ball with seed.-TNcw

Africa's Greatest Pest.

All white men who visit regions in
Africa infested by the tsctsc fly have
much to say about it. There is now
evidence that the tsetse is moving
gradually to more northern regions,
and the cause is supposed to be that
South Africa is depleted of its large
game, much of which is moving
northward to get away from hunters.
and the tsetse fly goes with it
The insect is only little larger
than the ordinary house fly, and it re-
semblcs the honey-bcc.. Its sting is
hardly so annoying as that of a mos
quito, but near the base of its pro-
boscis is little bag which contains its
poison 1t lives on the blood of ami
mails, and only few species are ia
tally affected by It's bite. Cattle,
horses and dogs, however, cannot live
when bitten with tho tsctsc fly. Ma
tives who herd cattle and travellers
who deneIM on horses or oxen must
avoid the fly regions or lose their
stock. For human beings its bite has
no serious consequences.
Mr.. Swan, missionary in Katanga.
near the western head waters of the
Congo, says that recently the buffalocs
of South Africa, which differ from
those of the Congo, have been moving
northward into the Katanga country.
II is to the buffalo that the English
missionary attributes the prevalence
of the tsetse in Katanga. When
Lieut.. Lo Marinel went to Katanga,
more than year ago, lie took dozen
head of cattle, intending 10 leave
them at the station there and raise a
large herd. The tsetse was too much
for them, however, and in short
time only two of the cattle remained.
Sometimes the poison kills the vic
tim in week or ten days. AT other
times the animal fingers along for
several months. The symptoms are
those of blood poisoning. White men
in Africa express the opinion that
with the gradual disappearance of
large game tie tsetse will vanish. If
it does not, it will be impossible to
carry on many enterprises that would
certainly thrive in some regions now
infested by the fiy.-[New York Sun.

The Innkeeper and His Theory.

At a political meeting in Kansas
City the other day Ex-Governor Crit
tcnden told story of an old tavern
keeper whose fond theory it was that
every 1000 years came the exact repe-
tition Of events that had occurred on
the same date 1000 years before.
Two graceless ecamps, filled with the
hosts good cheer, sought to weaken
his dependence on this theory by say
ing that they would pay their bill on
that day 1000 years. "No, you DON'T"
he said; "you're the same fellows
that were here 1000 years ago and
promised the same thing. Kansas

The Rare Green Garnet.

A stone comparatively little known
by the general public, but made very
popular through the reptile craze, is
the olivines, also known as green gar
net. 1t belongs to the chrysolile
family, and i'll the smaller sizes they
are found in better colors than the
emerald, and hence arc more in de-
mand. They show to particular adj

literally covered with them. the only
exception being diamond eyes, and on
some of them gold feet. New York

An American taking a house In Lon
don will learn that she will have TO keep
more servants in tho old country than in
the new. These servants are trained,
and one who is willing 10 engage to DO
many things is usually willing to take
such position because she is iEcomPe-
tent in everything.
A small family there would keep o
cook, a csclnbermaid and waitress.
The washing would be put out, and
| charwoman would be called in once
week to help with h cleaning and clear
ing up. A very good cook can be had
for 800 a year. ehambernaid for 500,
and smart waitress for $50.
The charwomaa viii be paid two shil-
lings, or fifty cents day and given her
family will cost from IS to 81 week.
In America such u family would have
two ON ,n-one a cook who would also
wash an il on, and ano;h as chamber
maid IA | waitress.
The servants we have here do more,
but they do it me-e roughly, and are
totally deficient in Shat silent subseryienco
which makes the framed English domes-
tic perform tie usual household duties
with automatic celebrity. Generally you
have goater number of servants there
than here.
There the servants do not expect TO
eat just what is provided for the family
Not at all When the marketing y
done, special things are bought for the
servants, and they have table for theR
=
emit hour, and the quality of the fool very
much less in cost. They eat very little
meat, NEST Of it salt; the cheapest kind
of fish, and then they have potatoes and
greens and buildings with treacle, and
they arc pro sided with beer, unless in
engagingseryants it is stipulated that
the engagement is without heer."

that time he was fulfilling his agreement
with Mr.. Burris to consult his commit
tee. AS soon as the committee had dc.
cded the matterAs to what position they
would take, Mr.. salisbury, who had
been approached also by Benjamin
Niclds, counsel for Sheriff William
simmons, and by Sheriff Simmons
himself, between whom and Mr.,
salisbury there exists n warm friend
ship, addressed a letter 10 Mr. Niclds, Il
copy of which was published in the
evening papers of Friday, November
4th, together with an agreement based
ON that letter between Sheriff Simmons,
Mr.. salisbury and Mr.. Burrs, who
called on Mr.. salisbury while the letter
was being written, and the distinct
understanding, as shown by that letter
and by the agreement was, that the
special constablcs would be appointed
and would be held well in hand and
take no part at the polls unless great
disorder would occur which could not
be suppressed by the special sherllTs, or
unless Alahaily and his men undertook
to run the elections, in which case the
special constahles would be there;
this was very we'll understood at
the time, and while of course the
Democratic committee was the moving
body in the appointment of special CON
stables and determined to have them,
yet, US is shown by the correspondence
and agreement, the necessity of having
them was due entirely to the actions Of
Mahatiy, to his well known character
in the community, and the belief Of
the Democratic county committee that
no agreement made with him or any
body representing his party would be
carried out in good faith The truth of
the matter is, that Mr.. Burris was max
ing propositions in regard to actions Of
his party which he did not have the
power to enforce, though hemay have had
the desire to do so. There is just enough
twist in the statement Of Mr.. Burris to
prevent clear understanding OF the
agreement, fair example of which is
that Mr. Burris states he did not sec Mr..
salisbury until two days before the
election, when as a matter Of fact the
agreement signed by Mr.. Burris and
Sheriff simmons with Mr.. salisbury
was dated four days before the election
and published in the afternoon papers
of that day, and it was afterward ad-
miltod by Republicans, including MIR.
Butris, that they had as late as Monday
before the election been unable TO con,
troll MahaiTy us to the appointment of
deputy marshals, as they had thought
they could do.
