Lie History of. Fern,.

AT the gardens OF the Royal Brit
ism Botanic society. Prof. Groves
recently delivered an interesting
lecture on the growth of ferns. Trac-
ing the formation of fern spores
from the first light swelling upon the
underside OF the mature frond to the
production of the perfect sori, or
case, with its countless dust-liSe
spores. the lecturer briefly sketched
their further development; first, as
small. green leaf-like bodies. lying
Hat upon the soil, through the subse-
qucnt formation and fertilization of
other spores arising from them to
the second and final birth OF the
infant fern. This 'alternation of
generation" as 1t is called, is that
which divides ferns from towering
plants; sori. while true seeds, when
planted, grow at once into the like
ness of their parents. fern spores
have to pass an Intermediate ex-
Istence before they reach tho Same
stage.

Part of the scotch I.ccalla.

The belt OF the sword of state OF
Scotland has been restored to it's
place in the regalia of Scotland in
Edinburg castle by the marquis OF
Bredalbane, the lord high commits
sioncr TO the general assembly of the
church of Scotland. After the battle
of Dunbar it became necessary to
place the regalia of Scotland in
place of greater safety than Edin-
burg castle, and it was removed to
the strong castle of Dunnottar. where
Sir q. Ogilvy defended it. He had,
however. only forty men and could
not hold out, and he allowed his wife
to remove the regalia from the castle.
1t was then buried underneath tho
stones in Kinnef church. where it
lay for several years. When it was re-
stored Sir &. Ogilvy. for some cause
not explained, retained the sword
belt. 1t was discovered in 1890 built
into the garden wall of the house OF
Barras. near Stonehaven, and since
then it has been handed down from
father to son as u precious relic.

Senator .Scwoyf,- "Thc laws ot
France aud Germany make it discre-
tionary to redeem their PAPER money

their gold by refusing to pay out for

gold for export by offering them silver
and thus maintaining the parity Of the
two metals France has more than
twice as much silver as the United
States per capita, and maintains the
parity Of gold and silver at the rate of
81 50 an ounce for silver by using Sil-

Congressman Bryan IF Nebras&r,-
Some of MS complain because wheat
has fallen low; with the adoption of a
gold standard you may never hope to
see wheat as high as it is to-day. You
are more likely to sec it at 10 cents,
If you adopt gold standard you place
gold upon a universal auction block
and nations will stand around and bid
for it. One nation will say, Ill give
two bushels of wheat for a dollar, an
other viii bid three bushels, and so on
until each nation will have to contract
the value of all commodities in order
to get any of it.
