M. Flammarion, in the course of ex-
periments on the radiation of spectrum
colors. has made some interesting OBJ
servations on sensitive plants. -Four
plants sown the same day and Of the
same size were placed under glass, ex-
GLIDING respectively all but the red
green and blue rays, the fourth plant
being under ordinary white glass. AT
the end of six weeks the "red" plant
was twice as high as any of the others,
the green came next, then the
white, while the "blue' had not
grown the fraction of centinctre. The
red plant was healthy, but abnormally
nervous. curling up at a breath. The
plant kept under white glass, exposed
to the ordinary sun rays, though third
in the order of growth, was vigorous
and stout.

California olive growers say that a
big demand has sprung UP this season
in the eastern States for California
olives, and practically the whole pro-
duct of the state is already sold. Or
ders for California olives have come
from many old and conservative gro
Gerry houses in New York, Boston, and
other eastern cities, whose proprietors
say that, now the Californians have
mastered the art of picking the fruit,
the native product will drive the for
eign olives out of Eastern markets.

Consumption of tea in the United
States per capita has risen from 096 of
a pound per capita a generation ago to
1.34, but coffee shows more remarka-
BILE increase. From five pounds per
capita it has risen to a little more than
eight pounds, Notwithstanding frequent
rise in price Increased consumption
is attributed to improved processes of
preparation, while the increase in the
consumption of tea is more plausibly
accredited to excessive cheapness, adult
teration and lures of chromos and
crockery.

President Homer, T. Fuller, of Drury
college, Springfield, Ohio, has received
a letter from a Massachusetts man,
who offers d large sum of money for
the verification of war episode. The
story is that in the early days of the
war detachment of Confederate
troops in Missouri took about four hun
bred Union prisoners. Twelve of these
prisoners were lined up and shot with
out provocation by the Confederate Off
GERS. Upon hearing of this act, the
commander of the Federal regiment
drafted twelve Confederate prisoners to
be shot in retaliation. AS the line was
being formed a young man named Will
liam Lear stepped forward and asked
to take the place of one of the con-
deimned men, who was his friend. The
request was granted, and Lear was
shot in place OF his friend.

Mr.. George Stinchcomb, who for six
teen days has been suffering at ST..
Mary's Hospital, died yesterday after
noon. II will be remembered that he
was run over by q wagon on the grad

Few thought that he would live twen-
ty-four hours after the accident; but
by sheer force of will and heroic effort
he prolonged life more than fortnight,

managers that they are using the same
tactics so successfully employed by
Daniel Manning when Cleveland was
nominated for the first time. BY Sun
day there will be a swarm OF Iowa

Canton, Ohio, July SIT was 4:SO this
afternoon when a thousand people of
Tuscarawas county came in a special
train over the Cleveland and Canton
road. They had the largest sheets Of
tin-plate ever made in the world"
and the largest strips of galvanized
sheet steel. Colonel W. A. Bovey, Of
Dennison, was spokesman. In re-
sponse to very handsome presenta-
tion, Major Mckinley replied:
This assemblage is fairly typical of
our American communities, and it full
ly presents the varied occupations of
the American people. AS your spokes-
man has already said, in this presence
are farmers, laborers, merchants. min
ers, architects, railroad employees, pro-
fessional men and representatives of
every rank of people and you are here,
distant from your homes. not from cur
iosity, nor from any considerations at
all personal, but are here for in your
hearts YOU believe in the great funda-
mental doctrines of good days wages
to our employees, which we want to be
paid in good sound dollars, worth 100
cents and no less.
Now, whatever policy will bring US
back to those good times is the one
that the great majority of American
people are in favor of, and will so
register their votes at the coming cleo
tion, and YOU seem to have made up
your minds what that policy is" (Ap-.

Governor Pennoyer has been very

seems to be the soft, dressy worsteds
in black, blue, grey and chocolate color,
although black, blue and brown chew
lots are still very popular. Some of
the younger men and few older ones
still cling to checks and figures in
lighter shades. There is no particular

TRADE REVIEW.
The Day by Day Plan-operators
Make a Quick Turn.

New York, July S-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade, which issues
tomorrow, will say:
Current movements have been so
largely of temporary character, or
else purely speculative, on the day by
day plan, that they are not highly in
structive. Thus an extensive shutdown
of the cotton mills is solely in the hope
that q half production in July and
August may clear the largely over
stocked market.
Stock fluctuations were still more
ephemeral, including two sharp de-
clines and partial rallies within the
week, both laboriously ascribed to va
rious political causes, but mainly due
to keen operators who saw chances to
make quick turn.
The failures for the week have been
257 in the United States against 1877
last year, and % in Canada against "a
year ago.
