hair taken from the head of his wife

1t has been claimed that the ccle-.

The figure of 1927 miles per hour for

have been 100 miles an hour. Between

common occurrence for tho engines

ANGLOMANIA.
How an American Woman Eebuked

How an American Woman Eebuked n
Snobbish Friend.
An American woman returned to
New England after living for Il season
in London, and wcaricd her friends
with her a1fcctations and mannerislns,
says Youths Companion. She was
ashamed of her own country and did
not hesitate to say SO. She not only
initiated English customs, dress, OK
pressions, spelling and pronunciation,
but offered offensive evidence of her
acute attack of Anglonania in con-
tcmptuous references to everything
American.
One of her friends undertook to ad-
minister social discipline in Il unique
way. She sent out invitations to q
lunch party in honor of the returned
traveller and collected large company
in her drawing-room. After the guest
had been cordially welcomed, the doors
In the dining-room were opened.
The room had been decorated with
bunting and the flowers were mnssed
In effects of red, white and blue. There
were flags everywhere, in the chandc-
licr, on the mantcl and on every bit Of
plate or china displayed on the table.
The table reserved for the guest was
draped with the national colors.
Never, perhaps, was broader hint
conveyed at o social reception that 1t is
i'll bred and bad form to be ashamed of
ones country.

TO SEE PLANTS GROW.
Experiments by Which Their Growth May
10 Both Seen and Heard.

Experiments by Which Their Growth May
10 Both Seen and Heard.
There arc several ways of rendering
the growth of plants both audible and
visible, but the modus opcrandi in tho
--latest improved" experiments is as fol-
lows: In order TO make the growth
of very vigorous plant visible, u fine
platinum wire should be carefully at
tached to the growing part. The other
end of this wire should be attached to
pencil pressing gently against Il drum
which is being driven by clocllworlz If
the growth be uniform q straight line
is marked on the paper, but the very
slightest increase is shown by inclined
tracing.
A slight modification of this arrange
mcnt renders the growth audible. In
this experiment the drum must be
covered with platinum foils of Il certain
width, and separated from each other
by spaces about onc-ciGhth of IN inch.
These strips of platinum should be
made to complete the circuit Of q gal
vanic battery, to (which, an electric
bell has been attached. In this case
the bell is kept continually ringing
while the plant is growing the height
Of the width of the strips used, and
Is silent while the pointer is passing
over the spaces between the strips of
metal. The growing Of corn may be
heard direct by means of the micro
phone, and there arc those who declare
they have heard it without any arti-
fetal assistance whatever.
