FLOATING MATTER.
Natures Method of Distributing Seed,
Tbrnucb tho ncoo,,

Natures Method OF Distributing Seeds
Through the Ocean Currents.
In some parts OF the world, uots.
bly, in the Malay archipelago, vas,
quantities OF vegetable matter are
always floating about on the sea.
says the Washington Star. On tho
Molucca islands the trees seem to
dispute with the waves OF the ocean
for the possession OF the soil. Not
only are their roots and often por-
tions OF their trunks immersed in
water, but their branching crowns
incline in the same direction and are
bathed by the tides Thus the nu-
merous currents of the Molucca sea
are charged with seaweeds, inter-
mixed with flowers, fruits, cocoanuts,
nuts or other palms and even whole
trees. The amount OF driitwood
thrown upon all shores is enormous
Eskimo along the Arctic coast OF
Alaska depend upon it wholly for
wood supply. Natives of the coral
islands Of the Pacific get all their
stones for tools from the roots OF
drifted trees, in which the stones
were found imbedded.
The carrying of seeds BY ocean
currents is one of natures most
interesting methods of distributing
plants through the world. Darwin,
who devoted much attention to in
vestlgatlng the matter, proved that
many kinds of seeds will bear i'm
mersion in water for 100 days, or
even more, and still retain their
vitality,so that when thrown a shore
they are ready to sprout Not a few
species, which will sink when green.
hoat II they have CHANGED to dry
before falling into the stream which
carries them to the ocean. For the
very purpose OF accomplishing this
distribution by water, nature has
made the husks OF many seeds
practically waterproof. Among the
familiar objects picked up on the
ocean beach are the so-called
sea-beans. 1t is popularity sup
posed that the plants which
bear these beans grow in the
water. The beans are found in
enormous quantities on the Florida
shore and in diminishing numbers
northward along the Atlantic coast
They are the seeds of various
pod-bearing vines-climbing plants
plentiful along the shores OF the
Caribbean sea- Each pod, resembling
an exaggerated peapod, contains a
number OF seeds. The latter, falling
when ripe into the water, are carried
by the gulf stream around the south
end of Florida and up the Atlantic
coast. There arc three important
varieties. one reddish and fiat,
another more round and gray, and
the third much bigger and Of a
mahogany color.

"Most peculiar coach dog | ever

knocking the ashes from his corncob
pipe.
'Yes, l do, for fact If it wasn't

County Clerk Sadler is sending out
blank road petitions to different por-
tionS of the county to be signed by
the property owners adjacent to the
roads over the county that have never
been legally opened, asking the COM
nissioners to declare the roads open.
1t is probably not generally known
that many of the roads in general use
inthe county arerOads only by common
consent and are not the property OF
the county. For instance, the road
leading south to Hunnewell which is
travelled probably as much as any road
in the county, has never been legally
opened and the road supervisors along
the line are not compelled to keep the
road in repair. Mr.. Saddler will send
petition for every unopened road in
the county and it is hoped by thi:
means to give Sumner county a much
better road service.-MdH

Il Way Do as Much for You.

Mr.. Fred Miller, of Irving, ILL.,,
writes that he had a severe
kidney trouble for many years,
with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was affect
ed. He tried many so-called Kidney
cures, but without auy good result.
About a year ago he began the use of
Electric Bitters and found relief at
once. Electric BItters is especially
adapted to cure of all Kidney and
Liver troubles and often gives almost
instant relief. One trial will prove

While the above were the average

What is your party to you if it per-
sists in passing laws to rob you?
Would you still cling to an old friend
who had thus shamefully connived
with a band of robbers to steal all
you had? Then why hesitate to turn
your back upon your party for thus
plotting with the Jew gold sharks to
rob you and your family of your hard
earnings by manipulating the laws to
that end? j. III. +.

Crimson Fishes,

The prevalence Of crimson colors
in certain fishes on the New England
coast on portions of which scarlet
and crimson seaweeds abound, is ex-
planned by Professor J. Brown Goode
by the red pigment derived by the
crustaceans from the seaweeds they
devour, and which in turn form the
food OF the fishes.

Topeka Letter.
TOPEKA, KAN, March u. "a.

TOPEKA, KAN, March u, '9i.
Regular correspondence.
Since our last letter we are told in
a long letter from Farmer Smith
that he will not be a candidate before
the next Republican state convention
for the Office Of governor. Farmer
Smith might have saved himself con-
siderable labor as well as ridicule by
never writing that letter, as no sen
Sible person ever thought for q mo-
ment that he possessed so little p0lit-
ical discretion as to even contemplate
such a break. The sooner Farmer
Smith gets it through his head that
the people have nomore use for a sin
gle gold standard farmer than they
have for single gold standard Wall
Streeter, the sooner he will show
self to be aman of ordinary judgment
and political sagacity. Smith is
dead, politically speaking, beyond
resurrection. Even Maj. Morrill, has
got this lesson to learn. We are told
that one of the main reasons why
the Republicans of Kansas want a
banker for governor is that his can
didacy will emphasize to the eastern
ShylOckS that the party in the west
is with them, that they will the
more readily and freely contribute in
cash to assist in downing the Popu-
lists, who are for more money and
the free coinage of silver at the pres
ent ratio of l6 to
Now, Maj. Morrill, may be a nice
man and all that, but his ideas of fl
nance are parallel with eastern Re
publicanS, and for this reason, if for
none other, the people Of Kansas will
not put him at the head of our state
government. The Republican and
Democratic parties both declared in
1852 for both gold and silver for mon
ey, yet ll9 Democrats and ia Repub-
licans in the house voted for the I'M
conditional repeal of the Sherman
law. In the senate the vote was 26
Republicans and % Democrats for re-
peal. Thus it will be seen that while
the Republicans are charging the
Democrats with inconsistency, and
keeping bad faith with their prom
iSeS, the Republicans beat them in
both houses in the number of votes
for the repeal of the Sherman law
the only law which recognized silver
for money use.
Read the promises of both parties
in their platforms in 1892. 1t is not
necessary to label them as both

Every reading man knows that ev-
cry proposition made in both houses
to recognize silver as a money metal
has been defeated by tie same fellows
who voted for the unconditional re.
peal. Now what excuse can any fair
minded voter give for still continu-
ing to support his old party, when it
promises one thing and does the op-
pOSite.
Should you wish to know the cause
for the position of your parties upon
the silver question, glance down the
following table of figures, and you
will see that the intent and object of
the money and grain gamblers is to
rob the producer of the price of his
product, SO that he will be compelled
to borrow money to tide over. The
smaller the circulation of money the
higher the rate of interest: and you
can readily see that by. this process
it is only question of time till our
entire farming population will be in
the Same0tlX as that of old Ireland.
