The Gas Plant.

This interesting and hardy herbace-
favorite under the name of "Dittany."
and in border or clumps it was pretty
sure to be found in every garden where
the least attempt had been made to Guilt
vate flowers. Of late years, however, it
is seldom seen except where the object is
to obtain a botanical collection, prob
ably because new favorites have in
measure crowded out the old. The
roots are strong, somewhat f1eshy,
branching, and growing down deep, but
do not spread or produce suckers, all the
Towering stems springing from buds on
the crown, very much as in the common
peonies, dahlias and similar tuberous-
rooted plants The flower stalks are
two to three feet high, the flowers red
or pure white, IN long, open terminal
spikes. The leaves, although much
smaller, resemble those of some of the
species of the ash tree, hence the spe-
cific name Fraxinella, from Fraxinus,
the ash. The entire plant, when han
died, emits an odor resembling that of
lemon peel, but when crushed or bruised
it is more balsamiU, and by some persons
likened to coal gas, and thus it derives
it's local name of gas plant, the strongest
odor being emitted by the flowers The
story is perhaps familiar to our readers
of a daughter of Linn@us having dis
covered that this gas would readily take
fire if candle was held near one of
these flowers at night or in dark room.
Anyone can try the experiment by TAX
ing plant into dark room, and then
holding a lighted match near or just
touching one flower at time. There
will follow sudden flash, but by exam
ming the flowers afterwards it will be
discovered that the balsamic exudations
coating the pedicles have been burned
off, and the supposed emission of gas is
more imaginative than real. Dittany
or Dictamnus roots once had place
among the medicinal herbs, as they
possess some drastic properties, and
were believed to have been used success
fully as opiates The plant may be
propaga ted by divisions of crown or from
seed, which should be sown after 1t is
ripe in summer-American Agricult-
urlst.

WHEN THEY BOLTED.

1T was a moment attended with
gravest thoughts when the silver re-
publicans walked out of the Memoir
or county convention. There were
sixteen of the sturdiest and most re-
liable men men of the county not
alone in politics but also in business.
Men who have borne the brunt of
every political battle for the last ten
vears-who have stood where ii.
light was fiercest, where the shot and
shell rained thickest-who V
swerved in the hour of danger. nor
feared to face the foe. And further
more they have never asked aught at
the hand of party, nor made the pie
chest the object of their alteration.
nor measured their zeal by the hone
of subsequent gain, They have la
bored in storm and sunshine, in plea
sure and pain, for the party of their
choice, regardless of the character of
men who happened for the time to
be called its champions.
But there are those in the van of
the Mckinley men who have ofttimes
sought the aid of these men. and
e never wanting the assistance re.
quired. A few of those, indeed, who
so o~bstinately stood against any form
of fair compromise, were not long
ago the humblest petitioners for the
influence and votes of these same re.
publicans-and their friends. When
the trial came, every request was
granted. The silver men have al
ways lent their time, influence. and
even their hard-earned money to the
success of the party and its candid
ates. lngratitude more terrible than
saber stroke has severed friend from
friend, and the effect of this division
a not but be sensibly felt when
the votes are counted.

presented at the state republication

there were Livingston Enterprise

Townsend Messenger Stout, Mining

miner a chance of life equal to that

OF course their editorials do not
correctly portray their true character,
but only stand as bluffs intended to
Brighten away the enemy, in the hope
that bloodshed may be avoided. Per
s%onaIIy they are kind and affectionate
one to another, mutually swapping
the most superlative expressions of
cndearmrnt and admiration. When
Sam Gordon fell on lIarber's neck to
weep, you could hear the vital cur
rent gurgle through his compressed

Wright is unpretensious, but in
dustrious and painstaking, and bears
the credit of putting out the neatest
and newsiest local paper in this glo-
rious state. He monkeys not with
frivolities, nor bids for the plaudits
Of coon heaven, but plows a straight
furrow and keeps the eleventh com

Temperature and Contraction of Water

At a meeting of the Edinburgh Philo-
sophical society an experiment showing the
contraction of water above the freezing
point was exhibited. The water operated
on was contained in a glass jar, about 4
inches in diameter and about Is inches
high. The changes in its density were
clearly shown by the ascent and descent of
colored glass balls each about an inch In
diameter. When the water was ice cold,
the balls were all at the bottom, but grad
ually, as the warmth of the room was COM
municated to the water, its contraction
and consequent increase of density caused
the balls to rise. As the water approached
the state of greatest density the heavier
balls were seen to move about in an ir-
regular and spasmodic manner, probably
in consequence of the currents in the fluid
caused by the changes that were taking
place In its temperature. In the course of
an hour, the point of maximum density
having been passed, the balls began to de-
scend in reverse order and soon grouped TO-
gether on the bottom again.-St Louis
