Can Plants See?

The mysteries of vegetable life are
not all yet explored. An Indian
botanist has made experiments which
induce him to say that some plants
can see Whether the inference can
be accepted or not, these experiments
go to show that the plants made an
effort to reach supports placed at
little distance and grew toward the
supports wherever placed. The plant
was convolvulus, and when pole
was placed near it and in such a way
that the tendrils would have to turn
away from the light to reach it,
they invariably did so and within a
few hours twined about it. That
certain plants have the sense of
touch is well known. Medical Times.

Away Ahead of Job,

l heard an amusing story of Sir
Henry Hawkins from a legal friend a
week or two ago, but l cannot vouch
for the absolute truth of it. Sir
Henry was presiding over long, te-
dious and uninteresting trial, and was
listening, apparently with absorbed
attention, to long, tedious and unin-
teresting speech from counsel learn
ed in the law. Presently he made a
pencil memorandum, folded it and
sent it by the usher to the Q. C. in
question. This gentleman, on I'M
folding the paper, found these words:

AQueer Rainbow Superstition.

The Kurds and Armenians, whose
many folklore stories and tales of
superstitious fancies far exceed those
of the gypsies, have some rainbow
beliefs which are perhaps not dupli-
Gated in 4he popular notions of any
others among the races of mankind.
They boot at the idea of it's being
witness to Gods covenant with man
that the earth will no more undergo
the ordeal of flood and declare that
it was made for the express purpose
of letting the first man and woman
down from heaven, the man securely
fastened to one end of the great va
riegated band, the woman at the
other. The end of time, according
to the Kurds, will be ushered in by
the appearance of four rainbows,
which will cross at the zenith, fur
nishing eight passageways for God
and his hosts.-St. Louis Republic.

PETROLEUM FOR DIPHTRERlA.
The Patient Experiences Relief From tn
First Application.

The Patient Experiences Relief From the
First Application.
In the village of Melville Champ
d Oisel, about nine miles from Rouen,
a malignant type Of diphtheria broke
out. The country doctor, NJ. Fred
eric Flahaut, treated the cases in the
usual way, but the deaths were nu-
merous. Remembering, as he says,
that the English use petroleum as an
antlspasmodic and an antiseptic, he
determined to try it as an expert
ment.
His first trial was in the case of a
little girl Z years old. He had al
ready given her up and proposed to
the parents to make the experiment,
which consisted in swabbing the
throat with common petroleum. He
had little hope of the success of his
new method, but to his astonish-
ment he noticed an improvement
after the first application. He con-
tlnued the treatment, and the child
recovered. Then he tried it success
fully with his other patients.
This year he had 40 cases of diph-
liberia to treat, and he was success
full in every one In order to be per-
fectly sure that the cases in question
were ones of malignant diphtheria,
he had the eXpectorated matter sub
mitted to the analysis of Professor
Francois Hue of the Rouen College
of Medicine, and the professor re-
ported that he had clearly discovered
the presence in it of numerous bacil-
Ii of diphtheria. Moreover, his dag
nosis was confirmed by Drs. Les
hayes, Lerefrit and Bailey of Rouen,
the last named being the physician
in chief in that city.
The treatment presents little diff
Guilty or danger. The swabbing is
done every hour or every two hours,
according to the thickness of the
membranes, which become, as it
were, diluted under the action of the
petroleum. The brush, after being
dipped into the petroleum, should be
shaken to prevent any drops falling
into the respiratory channels. The
patients experience relief from the
very first application. The disagree
able taste of the petroleum remains
for few moments only.-Norman-
die Medicale.

Cold and Electricity.

That extreme cold paralyzes every
vital function is of course a piece of
everyday knowledge. But it has
been left to Professor Pictet, who
has been conducting some expert
ments on this subject, to discover
that at a temperature of 100 degrees
below the centigrade zero there is no
chemical action between nitric or
sulphuric acid and potash, between
oxygen and potassium, though, I'M
der ordinary circumstances, the af-
finity of the latter metal for oxygen
is SO great that it will burn if thrown
into water, owing to its combination
with the oxygen in that fluid. But
if the electric spark is played on bod
les which have thus lost the power
Of chemical affinity, some new and
curious combinations result. The
latest Investigations, the conclusions
Of which, however, have been theo-
retically presaged for some years
past, may require us toreconsider the
question of the temperature of outer
space and the possibility of an at
mosphere composed of gases in COM
bination existing there.

The Tower of Pisa.

The famous leaning tower of Pisa
is campanile or bell tower. The
building, which is cylindrical in
form, is 1877 feet high and so feet in
diameter, made entirely of white
marble. 1t is called the leaning tow
er from the fact that it inclines some
80 feet from the perpendicular, and
it is not generally known that this
inclination, which gives the tower
such a remarkable appearance, was
not Intentional. At the time it was
about half done the error in meas
urement was perceived. 1t was
guarded against by the use of extra
braces in the further construction of
the building and an adaptation of
the stone i'll the highest portion.
There are seven bells on the top of
the tower, the largest of which
weighs 1000 pounds, and these are
so placed as to counteract as far as
possible the leaning of the tower it.

Daudet's Bette NOir.

Alphonse Daudet's thorn in the
flesh is the letter writer. No other
novelist, he declares, can be so pes
tered by unknown correspondents as
he is. Women and young girls are
the chief delinquents, their object in
writing being to get him to use them
as heroines in his next novels. They
invariably inclose photographs. One
of M. Daudet's admirers, mailman,
possibly in confinement, has for
about Is years written regularly to
say that he has caught a grasshop-
per, and having taught it the novel
lists name let it go. Another fancy
of his was to write M. Daudet's
name in the snow.-London Stand

REFUSED a THOUSAND COLLARS.
An Odd Experience of Ia Conductor and a
MYsteriOus PASSENGER.

| An Odd experience OF IA conductor and q
Mysterious Passenger.
The following odd incident is re-
lated of Conductor Mckinney, who
was employed many years ago upon
a southern railroad:
One night in leaving Washington
| the conductor went as usual through
the train to collect the fares. In one
Of the rear cars a passenger without
a ticket handed him a bill. The con-
| ductOr took it, glanced at it hastily,
and seeing that it was of a large. de
nomination put it in his pocket, as
conductors are apt to do, and in
formed the passenger that he would
return with the change.
The purpose of the delay was Of
course to afford the conductor an op-
portunity to examine the bill at his
leisure i'll the baggage car to see if it
was all right. When Mr.. Mckinney
reached the baggage CIR and inspect
ed the note, he found to his astonish-
ment that what he had taken for a
500 bill was note for 81, 600.
OF course the changing of a bill of
such denomination was out of the
question. The conductor, therefore.
passed back through the train to re-
fund the money and obtain a smaller
bill. When he reached the car, the
passenger had shifted his seat. Co
ing up to him, the conductor said
that there was probably a mistake,
as the bill given by him was for
$1,000.
10 his utter amaZement, the pas
senger disclaimed all knowledge of
the bill. He had given ticket, he
said, and his seatmate confirmed the
statement. The conductor expostu-
lated, but the man was firm and
could not be prevailed upon to ac-
cept the money.
Finally the conductor gave UP in
despair, not knowing whether he or
the passenger was crazy, but inclined
to the latter belief. At a station or
two from Washington the passenger
'eAAN hAo SOAll lletl4lOu IClU JIG IIdlu anu
hastily disappeared The next day
Mr.. Mckinney handed in the bill to
the company's Office with an explana-
ton.
The money was deposited on spe-
cial account, and the railroad officials
awaited the coming of claimant.
Year after year passed, however, and
no one ever turned up for the money,
which i'll the meanwhile was steadily
adding interest. Finally, when Mr..
Mckinney retired from the service
of the company, the officials gave him
the proceeds of the bill, which at in
terest then amounted to nearly 50, 900.
No explanation was ever vouch-
safed Of the odd occurrence. The the
Dry generally credited by the con-
ductOr and the railroad officials, how
ever, was that the bill was given by
mistake by some burglar, who upon
discovering his error decided that it
was safer to repudiate the transac-
ton than to acknowledge the owner
ship of the money, the large amount
Of which he thought might render
the conductor suspicious and lead to
his arrest.-New York Herald.

Crystallized Platinum.

The artificial preparation of crys-
tails of platinum and palladium is
comparatively easy achievement in
the sphere of chemistry. A ribbon
of pure metal is stretched horizontal
ly between two binding screws and on
the ribbon finely powdered topaz is
busted, an electric current being then
passed through the ribbon of a de-
gree of strength sufficient tn raise it
to bright red heat. In the course
of about half an hour, on examining
the ribbon with a microscope, it is
found that very small brilliant crys-
tails cling here and there to project
ing points of partially decomposed
topaz. Under these conditions, if
the heat be maintained, the crystals
steadily increase in size, and in about
two hours time some will have at
tanned to growth of about Oh nm.
The crystals are opaque and show a
high metallic luster, like that of clean
mercury, New York Sun.

nous, the following is interesting
A dealer once went to the studio of
David Cox and purchased a painting

afterward the old man went to him
