HOW MANY PLANIsl


EHhDNi W Nl'ttl'S.
Tho number of different kinds of plants
that are to be found on the surface Of the
globe has long been disputed question.
Tho history Of the efforts to determine 1t
IS curious one. Those efforts hogan in
$50 b. c. with Thcophrnstus. who emu
murnted 500 kinds OF plants This may hn
presumed to represent all that were then
known. Tho botanical knowledge OF King
Solomon had, thon, comparatively narrow
limits even though he dlscoursod on all
the plants from tho cedar Of Lebanon TO
tho hyssop on tho wall. pliny-A. d. 40
increased tho number TO double that
named by Thoophrstus.
In the beginning Of tho seventeenth con
fury the number had increased to G,OOO.
Tho second edition Of Linnuus' grent book
included no more than $500. Willdonow,
up to 1907 had detected 7,i57 species Of
Towering plants. From this period the
increase In tho number Of known species
Is very rapid, as result Of the stimulus
giyou 10 botany by Linneus and his sue
cossors, SO that, at the beginning of the
present century Robert Brown had csti-
mated tho towering plants Mt 81 900 and
Humboldt all plants, Towering and non
Towering at 1900.
Progressing still further In 1890 De
Cnndnlle estimated that at least 81, 900
were known. IL was found that tho num-
Der Of species preserved In tho herbarium
Mt the Jnrdin dos plantes was estimated
Mt the same figure, and that the collection
of NJ. Dclcsscrt contained $4,000 species in
1897. although DIR. L!ndloy had estimated
in 1885 that all tho plnnts In the world
might be included in that number.
Humboldt entered upon series of cal
oulnticns about this timu to show that NIL
these estimates fell short Of tho number
that might be supposed to exist. "Suoh
considerations, " hn writes, "scom TO verify
the ancient myth Of the Fond. Ayeatn, that
the cronting Of primeval forco called forth
100, 600 vegetable forms from tho sacred
blood Of the bull"

coo species. Tho next estimate we meet
with Is in Honfroy In 1857, 219 900, but Ia
1866 Do CAndOllc had by another process
OF reasoning come to the conclusion that
the total could not be less than 1915, 600 foF
Towering plants.
AT the present time the very lowest osti-
mate Of authentic species of cryptngnmia
cannot he loss than 800, 600, and thoy prob
ably exceed that number Here, then, we
have an approximate idon Of what may b.
regarded MS very low estimate of tho
number Of species Of plants scattered oyor

in asserting that thpro arc not less than

vegetable organisms, including land md

the number is oven in excess of that

SHIFTING 1T TO May.
New Development I'm the Leiter-Ar-
mOur StruGgIe.


CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-In the wheat pit on the
board OF trade today the egreat game being
played between the clique represented by
Joseph Letter and the elevator people under
the lead of P. d. Armour seemed to be shift
ing from December to May. There was more
real wheat, 60 pounds to the bushel, and very
pound calling for money presented to Mr..
Letters attention. CharterirgI Of vessels to
take out large amount Of grain was believed
100000 bushels more wheat so near that
1t was time to make room for IT. What the
clique is to do with all this wheat has be-
come Of vital importanceet0 yesselmen and
to the elevators themselves. On that point
1t was certain that nobody, yet knows what is
to become of the accumulation OF wheat after
the tap of the bell on Dee. 81
Within ten days, since the close of navi-
cation On the lakes, about 4,G90.000 bushels
of grain have been taken. out Of the Chi
cago elevators and loaded - into vessels.
Vesselmen never witnessed such rush to
get grain into the winter fapt. Nssrly sixty
boats are already loaded with grain. The
over 100000 bushels and thus before the
last vessel of the season had reached its
dock at Buffalo third Of the feet here had
been taken care OF.
The rush for boats came to an end dur
ing the day. Agents did not find anybody
who wanted to load grain into their vessels.
They at once came to the conclusion that the
elevator capacity represented by the 1850 900
bushels taken out was about what the ele-
vator people expected to FILL largely with
wheat, before the end of the year. The re-
ceipts since the grain began going into the
beats would fill about half p the vacated
room. This would leave room for about g.

LITTLE FALLS, Dec. 23.-Bazille
Suprenent, who would have been one
hundred and ten years old if he had
lived until next March, died at st.
GabriePs hospital in this city this
morning. The old man was born in
March, 1888, year before the inaugu-
ration Of George Washington, as presi-
dent Of the United States. He was the
second child of his parents, and had
three brothers and four sisters, all of
whom are now dead. His father died
at the age of ninety eight; his mother
ninety-one. Suprenent worked on his
fathers farm until 1872, and was then
enrolled among the Canadian soldiers
in the war of 1872. but was rejected
owing to a goitre in the throat. In 1923
he was married, his wife dying in 1888.
He had two children, one Of whom is
dead, and the other he lost track Of in
1841. He never married again. In 1896
he was drafted to serve against Pass

to Canada. He went to Chicago in
1S41, later to Wisconsin, then to Kan
sas. Later he went to st. Paul, then to
Crookston, where he lived for twelve
years, then to Little Falls, in 1894, since
which time he has been an inmate of
the hospital. During the Civil war he
was drafted for a third time, but it
was discovered that he was far past
the maximum age, and so he did not
serve. The old man was about five
feet in height and weighed less than
ninety pounds. He was familiar fig
ure in Little Falls, liked by everybody,
and used to go everywhere alone, being
fully able to care for himself. In the
last year he grew much weaker and
his desire to beat the record" for old
age has been frustrated by death.

The affair reached crisis when the cadets

WANT LoCHREN TO STOP 1T.
Against Sale of Duluth
WnterworIxs Will Be Asked.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. est was rumored
here tonight that the attorneys of the Du-
luth Gas and Water company had left for
Lochren Of the United States court, and ask
for an injunction restraining the sheriff Of
this county from selling the mains and per-
sonal property Of the water company, under
the execution levied few days ago. A week
ago the county attorney obtained judgments
in the district court against the water COM
pany for personal taxes to the amount of
$3S, 900. 1t was understood at the time that
the water company failed to carry out the
understanding. with the result that the exc
cutions were levied and the sale is adver-
soon to vote on proposition to buy the
water plant, and the general belief is that
the issuance of an injunction will tie the
matter up SO that sale cannot take place,
even If the proposition meets with favor.
