Timekeeping by Flowers.

Gardeners should know tina, it is
quite possible to SO arrange flowers in
garden that all the purposes of a
clock will be answered In the time
of Pliny forty-six flowers were known
to open and shut at certain hours of
the day, and this number has since
been largely increased.
For instance, a bed of common dan
delions would show when it was $50
o'clock in the morning and $50 o'clock
at night respectively, for these flowers
open and shut at the times named,
frequently to the minute. The com
mon hawkweed opens Mt o'clock in
the morning, and may be depended
npon to close within few minutes of
2 in the afternoon. The yellow goat's
beard shuts ut II o'clock noon, abso-
lutely to the minute, sidereal time.
The SOW thistle opens at IS II. m. and
closes at 11.12 a. N. The white lily
opens at Z a. m. and closes at 5 p. N.

Birds as Seed Carriers.

Two centuries ago the Dutch de-
stroyed every nutmeg tree in the
Moluccas, in order to enjoy monopo-
ly OF the business, having planted the
trees IN their own possessions.
In spite OF their most earnest ef-
forts, however, the islands were being
constantly restocked. For long time
the thing was mystery, but at length
it was solved.
The doves of that quarter of tho
world are of large size, and readily
swallow the seed of the nutmeg, with
the fruit of which they traverse wide
stretches OF sea and land in a few
hours, and deposit the seeds of the
nutmeg not only uniniured, but bet
Der fitted for termination by the heat
and moisture of the birds system.
BY similar process thousands of
acres Of land have been covered with
trees Of different kinds, the birds act
ing as natures agents in the dlssemin-
alton OF plants.
But in quite another manner do
they transport seeds from place to
place. Darwin found in six grains of
earth adhering to the feet of plover
three different kinds of seeds, and in
mud sticking to the feet of ducks and
geese shot in England he found the
seeds of plants peculiar to tie Victoria
Nyanza, in Central Africa, thus prov
ing not only the extent of migration,
but also the possibility ofplants appear
ing in strange localities through the
agency of these birds.
In the mud sticking to the feet of
Texas steer the seeds of five different
kinds of weeds and grasses common in
Texas we're found by microscopist
after the arrival of the animal IN New
York. st. Louis GLOBE Democrat.

Animal Insanity.

The difficulty or the impossibility
OF defining insanity makes the ques-
tion OF whether or not animals become
insane by no means easy to answer.
Insanity in the human subject, il is
supposed by some, has no analogue in
the lower animals. Yet many causes
will lead to the permanen5 loss of all
self-contrcl. Cattle driven from the
country through the crowded thor
oughfares OF town will, under the
influence OF this sudden change OF
condition, work themselves into state
OF excitement and fury which must Mt
least be closely allied to madness.
Horses have heen known to so mad in
the midst OF the bewildering scenes of
battlefield. At Balakava an Arabian
horse turned upon its attendant, who
happened to be drawing water, seized
him in its mouth, threw him to the
ground and then kneeling upon him
attacked him like an il turiated dog.
Before the terror could be subdued it
had bitten of another soldiers finger
and seriously wounded the army vet.
erinariau. Another instance is related
of docile horse which one hot sum.
mer day went mad. Everything that
came within its reach it seized in its
teeth aud shook like terrier would
n rot. 1t raided the pigsties and threw
the inmates one after another into the
mir, trampliEg on the bodies as they
fell. Afterwards it almost killed its
own master, after manning for life the
horseshoer who was called in. This,
at least, must nave been case of in.
sanity. The cause OF such insanity is
often to be found in congentlal NAL.

Professor Romanes even goes SO far as
to prove by what appears to be incon-
testable evidence, that animals, cats,
dogs and monkeys, have been observed
to have delusions very similar to those
of insane people.

Power From the Waves.

The experiment with tho Gerlach
wave motor, which was described in
the Record about two months ago,
have been successful. NJ. a. Roths-
child, President of tho company con-
ductlng the experiments, known as
the Gerlach Wave Motor Company,
states that the motor is in running
order and is developing as high as 1S0
horse power. The company, however,
is not satisfied with the location of
the apparatus, which is in a bay at
Capitole, near San Francisco, rather
than on the ocean bench, and until
better location can be secured nothing
will be done toward utilizing the
power. This motor, as its name in
dicates, is designed to utilize the
energy of the oceans waves. 1t con-
sists of huge paddles suspended in the
water so rs to swing with the incom-
ing and outgoing of the waves. The
motion thus impaired to the paddles
is converted into rotary motion by
suitable contrivances. The paddles
are arranged to be elevated or lowered,
so as to always secure the most suit
able depth of immersion at all tides.

EIue LnMs in Phi,adelnhia.

Policemen stationed at every cross
street within q block of st. Barnabas's
Protestant Episcopal Church in Phil
adelphia recently attracted consider
able attention. They were stationed
there to prevent milk wagons from
passing the church during services,
and their presence was the result of a
request made to Director Ritter by
Pastor James R. L. Nisbitt. 1t was
found that law OF 1894 prohibits
milkmen from distributing milk on
Sundays between the hours of 9 a. m.
and p. M, and it was this law that
was enforced.
For some time past the congregation
of st. Barnabas's have been greatly an.
noyed by the noise of passing vehicles
during church hours, especially when
the weather is warm enough to have
the windows open. The streets at
this point are badly paved, both Ori-
ana and Dsuphin streets still being
encumbered with cobblestones OF
unique pattern, aad the noise made
by passing vehicles is very great. The
law of 1874 will be enforced strictly
during the summer months. Phil

The heavy and somewhat ancient
ordnance in usein Norway and Sweden
are to be replaced very shortly by
armGments of more modern manufac.
ture. For this purpose a sum of ST.
oOO,o 900 will probably be expended on
field and machine guns, and the order
will, 1t is expected, be placed with an
English firm. In any case, this order
may be regarded as a merely pre-.
liminary installment of extensive pur-
chases, as a decided tendency has
manifested itself throughout the Scan.
dinavian peninsula in favor of modern
methods throughout There is to be
a thorough overhauling in both Nor.
way and Sweden, and a long list OF
contracts may be looked for by British
manufacturers. 1t is worth mention.

Old English Idions Restored.

A writer in the Chauteuquan says
that many "cracker" idioms of the
South are simply obsolete English
idioms. Fielding, for instance" ne
says, "mskes very near approach to
the crackerism, 'ae allowed he'd do
it, in such a passage as this: 'Tha
audience allowed l did your part jus.
tiee,' and when Burke complains that
England is disfurnished of its forces,
he is using almost the exact phraseol.
