Perhaps the most highly skilled and
best paid men in the Matchmaking

work is one Of the important elements
of cost in the making of fine watch,
and a $4,000 adjuster should be COM

A Girl from the Wet.

From the Washington Post: II was
in statuary hall one day OF last week.
She was a pretty girl OF perhaps ~
with a certain unmlstakable air OF be-
ing from the west. She was all alone
and not at all embarrassed. He was a
portly gentleman. with neck that
wrinkled under his collar at the back
and a head that left timber line half
way up. She walked about gazing IN
terestedly at this and that. She hadn't
the slightest need OF a guide, but he
marched mp to her and offered his SER
vices with a somewhat obese but per-
fectly killing smile. She let him make
his little speeches and smile his little
smile in silence. At length he said:

Something New In Botany.


Pro c. Macloskie of Princeton re-
ported to the botanists of the American
association a singular discovery about
the towering plants He finds that all
species include two kinds or castles OF
individuals, born of the same mother
plant, but differing by being slightly
twisted in opposite directions, the seed,
shoot, stem, leaves, inflorescence, and
bowers being turned dexterally in some
plants. and sinistrally in others from
the same pod. This popularity Is Of
a primitive nature and is often OBJ
scured by secondary twining of stems.
spreading out of leaves to the light, and
twisting of flowers. But If you go into
an orchard you will find half Of the
trees and of the weeds with their leaves
forming left-handed spirals, and as
many producing right-handed spirals.
This curious habit of growth appears
to depend on the place of origin OF seeds
in the seed vessel. One column of grains
in an ear of Indian corn will produce
plants turning one way, and those
borne by the next column will turn
the opposite way; bean pod has deX-
trail seeds on its right valve, and SIMS
trail on its left valve, or conversely.
Plants propagated by cuttings or bulbs
all twist the same way: not so, however,
the iris, Gala lily. and few others,
which grow by the branching of root
stocks. The term antidromy is used to
indicate the habit of twisting in differ
ent directions. This discovery is fertile
in suggesting new lines of inquiry, ex-
plains the real nature of phyllotaxy,
and removes many difficulties from
botany. II may explain why some tele-
graph poles split with a dextral and
others of the same species with a sinis-
trail curve, phenomenon which some
tried to explain by wind pressure on
the growing trees. 1t also raises new
questions as TO the formation of the
embryos differently on two sides Of a
leaf.

hair dark and lustrously splendid. and

Ralpa gazed into their depths. with a
strange feeling OF bewilderment. She
fascinated him powerfully. and yet he

shook him. as her soft hand fell like

In the daily Intercourse which fol-
lowed. the feeling somewhat wore away.

be admitted thai she had interested

lance between Judge lretons heiress

times was almost scorn, before she re-
turned home Lynde Graham had
learned to love her. He kept his un-
fortunate secret TO himself: he felt that

The winter passed quietly. There was
an occasional pleasure party but they
were by no means frequent. and it was
not until summer came that the real

bought by a famous general, who was
