The attention OF botanists has late
Iy been recalled to experiments made
at Juvisy. near Paris, by Monsieur
FIammarion on the effect OF exposing
the seedlings of sensitive plants to
lights OF different colors. Having
placed four pairs Of mimosa seedlings
in four separate pots in a dollhouse.
he covered one pair with bell Of blue
glass. another with bell OF green
glass. third with bell of rcd glass.

two months the plants subjected to
blue light were only one inch high.
having hardly grown at all. Those
exposed to white light we're four
inches high. those that had grown in
green light were FIVE inches high, while
those whose light had been red were
no less than sixteen inches high. Ex-
periments with other kinds OF plants
gave various results, but in every In
stance blue light impeded growth and
development.

osrasiol of the recent visit OF Ii Hung
Chang to Philadelphia citizens were
requested to decorate their houses with
limiting. Mr.. Mund went up TO the at
tic 20 get out his supply Of new flags,
when he discovered. away back in the
Above, still another flag. of which ne
knew nothing. Covered with the dust
and CRIME Of century and its colors
sadly faded, Hr. Mund pulled out an
sSId American flag with the thirteen
stars seEed onto the material just as
Mrs Ross had sewn them on the nag
she made for Washington. 1t seems
probable, IL not certain. then, that TINS
was a pattern or first trial Of the nag,
and not being satisfied with her hsndl-
work. she had made another. which she
sent to congress. CnTiously enough,
history throws no light on the question
as 10 vino designed the drawing of the
flag that washington first brought to
Betsy Ross. Congressional records
make no mention OF such design, nor
do any Of the innumerable letters and
diaries of the day. Mr.. William J. Can
BIZ in 1870 read paper before the His
toricaI society of Pennsylvania, in
which he said that his maternal grand
mother had as much as any one to do
with the design. and as no one has ever
eontTadicted him 1t seems possible
that the. design was cooked up gone
over, and finally completed that day in
the little back parlor by Washington
Morris and Betsy Ross. As TO the fact
that Mrs. Ross actually made the frs
stars and stripes. there is indisputabl'
proof. Mr. Candy. soon after reading
mis- paper. which caused considerable
controversy at the time, wrote an oper
letter IN which he said: "It is not ira

Remnant of the Buraioes Preserved ~
Great Salt Lake.
The herd OF buffaloes to which wide
D, bile attention has been drawn by
the recent tragic fate of one OF its bulls
has been grazing on Antelope Island
for three years, says the Salt Lake Trl-
bune. When Buffalo Bill Glasman
gave up his ambition to replenish the
west with the American bison the I'M
provement company took the little
herd he had gathered at Lake Point and
transported II to the island. The An
telope range is admirably suited to It's
wants and on the nutritious grasses
Astounding there it has fed and rat
tened. Though nominally in eaptiy-
ity its freedom is only Omitted by the
waters that surround the island and py
the stout fences built to protect the cul-
tivated spots on the ranch from belns
overrun. Unlike the elk that swarm
away from the island the buffaloes have
made no effort to satisfy their migra-
tory instinct. From end to end II Is
nearly thirty miles and at its widest
point II is nearly six miles across. 1t
has surface varied enough TO suit the
most adventurous buffalo; nature has
provided watering places in most con-
venient spots: delightful depressions
abound in which the herd may wall
low TO its hides content and, alto
gether. Antelope is an ideal home for
the semi-eivilized bison. The herd has
grown over there until now II mum
bers nearly twenty. Four calves Were
born this yea. and the interest OF Wis
itors TO the island is most excited by
these shy young buffaloes. The domes-
\ tic affairs of the herd have undergone
two upheavals during Its life on Ante
lope. These experiences have corrobo-
rated the theory disputed by some buff
J falo authorities. that one bull rules the
herd and that the question Of suprem-
/ acy is settled from time to time on the
/ field OF honor. The head of the family
| does not long enjoy his championship
in peace. Some young. ambitious bull
challenges him to a contest and the
buffalo code requires him to accept
forthwith He always does. for his
COWS are looking at him and even IL he
could remain among them without
fighting, which he could not, he would
heneeforth be despised So he locks
horns with his rebellious antagonist
and the fight goes on to a finish

1t is not generally known that a
large and growing business is done in
the expectation of American-made BIZ
cycles to foreign countries. says the
New York Journal The American
wheels have come to be preferred to all
others. This is because they are more
inteIIigently built, are lighter and
speetier and also have fine reputa-
tion for all-round excellence. In the
month of September last the invoice
value OF bicycles exported to foreign
countries was $500 $50 Estimating the
wholesale price of each wheel at $50.
there were thus exported over 5000
wheels in that month. or 200 a day.
During the nine months of 1896. in
Guiding September. the invoice value OF
American exports in bicycles was
s3.i55,657. an expectation of $4,000
wheels at $50 each. Great Britain was
the heaviest purchaser. the exports 10
that country for September amounting
