POWER OF SELECTION.
General Belief i'll Such Il Theory Explode

General Belief i'll Such Theory Exploded
by Recent Research.
1t is very generally believed that
plants have the power to select from
the soil in which they grow such sub
stances as will be of advantage to
them in the building up of their struc-
trre or in the healthy continuance of
their lie. This selection theory, how
ever, has been exploded by recent re-
search, and it is now definitely known
that the selective power of roots is
practically nil. Whatever goes into a
state OF solution in the soil enters the
plant, whether it be of beneficial or
useless or even highly injurious ma
ture. Certainly some plants take in,
for instance, much less of that injuri-
Gus substance. silica, than others; but
this difference is due to some accident
of structure, or to differences in the
natural function of respiration, and
not at all to any selective or reflective
power possessed by the protoplasm OF
the root hairs.

Gallant Hungarian Soldiers.

There died recently in Hungary two
ladies who served in 1s4s in the Revo-
lutionary army, and fought in several
of the fercest battles dressed in mill
tary uniform. One of them was sew
eral times promoted, and under the
name Of Karl attained the ran: of first
lieutenant of huzzars. At this point,
however. an artillery major stopped
her military career by marrying her.
The other fought under the name of
Josef, and was decorated for valor in
the field She married long after the
campaign A hungarian paper refer
ring to the two cases, says that about
a dozen woman fought in 1s4S in the
insurrect ionary ranks.

ZINC IN ARCHITECTURE. 4
A Successful Method for Copper Plating
Metal Ornaments.

Metal Ornaments.
Copper-plating zinc for building pur-
poses has recently been tried abroad
with considerable success, the
process being especially recommended
where mechanical wear takes place.
The zinc combines very we'll with the
sppper. The galvanic method of cop
Nper-plating is advantageously used, but
the zinc may also be coated with cop
per by ordinary means.
s In the first place, tire sheet zinc is
cleaned with soda from any adhering
dirt or grease, and is also purified by
a weak acid bath from the covering of
! zinc oxide There are then dissolved
in twenty-four parts of water one part
of refined verdigris and twelve parts
of tartar. the mixture being heated to
boiling point, after which three to four
pints of Spanish white are added.
The Spanish white, is here decomposed,
and is precipitated as lime tartrate.
The dark blue liquid is poured off and
filtered, and CAL be used either as a
bath for the sheet zinc, or for the pro-
duction of a copper-plating paste.
The first mode of action is the more
recommendation as the fluid for ces
its way into the corners and angles of
the zinc articles, and is uniformly dis
tributed all over.
If it be desired to coat an immovnble
zinc object with copper, the article,
after being cleaned, is painted with
the copper solution and chalk COM
pound, and, .af5er drying, brushed.
This very simple operation would ike
wise prove OF value for architectural
purposes whereof is desired to remedy
the generally rmpleasing effect OF zinc
adornments.

BEAUTIFUL EYES.
Obtained at the Expense of Ifealth and
Ey;.,:r;,t

Obtained at the !:Npense of ,fealth and
:2yaa:::!,t.
Methods for Identifying the eyes
have long been in vogue among women
Of fashion, and not Il few resort to
those which ultimately iniurG TIC
organs and the general health. Afro
pine is !; most common drug for iiill,ing
the eyes look large and lustruuS, but
the continued use OF il so weaiiclis, and
paralyZes the muscles that weak eyes
come on carly in life.
IN eminent Oculist claims that the
widespread disease Of weak eyes
among women is largely due to the
making them more beautiful than
nature intended The extremes to
which SOM. will 60 in the matter is
illustrated by an English woman who
was arrested in the streets of London
for drunkenness. 1t WAS found later
that she was simply suffering from
the toxic effects Of ;ltropine, which she
instilcd into the eyes to dilate the
pupils for Il more brilliant appearance.
She was determined to be beautiful
and to accomplish the purpose she ran
the risk Of iniaring her eyes for a life
time. A late fa1 among women of oar
cities is to dur,:cn the under cyciids
with paint To give more attractive
appearance to the eye. This paint is
often made up Of injurious principles,
which in time make the flesh around
the eyes old and wrin!lled 1t becomes
cracked, and the paint becomes
essential all of the time. The simplest
method, if one will darl1en the eyes.
is to use ordinary lead pencil.
