the burning ship were deducted, would
have made her actual passage five days,
sixteen hours and forty-three minutes.

Origin Of Fear and Terror.

President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark

Plant That Will Not Die.

Travellers IN Bermuda and the West
Indies often bring back as souvenir
of their trip the leaves OF an interest
ing plant OF the houseleek family. 1t
is known as the life plant, and when
the leaves begin to shrivel and fade
they send out little shoots, which in
turn bear leaves that continue to
grow and remain fresh and green for
months. The leaves are about four
inches long, rich green in color. and
of smooth, waxen texture. If you
take one of the leaves and pin it to
the wall indoors it will begin to osprout
within three or four days, be it winter
or summer. At first the top portion
of the leaf will begin to wlther and
shrivel up, and this is likely to con-
tinue until the upper half has lost its
green edges. and in time diminutive
green leaves will appear on these.
These little offshoots will sometimes
grow to be an inch long, and contain
several pairs OF leaves. The limit Of
their existence seems to depend upon
the amount OF heat and light they
can obtain. st. Louis Post Dispatch.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
SMUT IN OATS.

In bulletin No. 64 of the Ohio ex.
perimental station are reported the re-
suits of series of experiments made
on the station farm at Wooster in
1896 in the treatment of oats for the
prevention of smut, in which it was
shown that from duplicate samples of
seeds, taken from the same sack, the
untreated seed produced as high as
forty per cent, of smutted heads,
while the treated seed produced
considerably larger crop entirely free
from smut. These experiments have
been repeated with the same result in
1896, q year when the smut of oats
has been exceptionally prevalent. 1t
has also been demonstrated that, with
a very slight modification, the same
treatment will absolutely prevent tie
stinking smut of wheat, and the bull
letin named gives full directions for
this treatment, both for oats and
wheat. From the reports which haye
come to the station it seems probable
that the farmers of Ohio have this
year lost not less than half g million
dollars from oat smut alone.

SPRING "poN'Ts" FOR GARDENERS.

SPRING "DoN'Ts" FOR GARDENERS.
Don't overwater at this season; give
just enough to keep the soil moder-
ately moist.
Don't allow the plants to grow lank
and spindling; pinching back and
pruning will now be necessary on the
plants that are making rapid growth.
Don't waste the cuttings, no matter
now small they nay be; tuck them
down in the moist sand pots, and they
will soon root for summer bedding.
Don't forget to water the chrysan-
themums occasionally that have been
stored in the cellar during the winter.
They may soon be started into growth
now, and young plants for the spring
potting may be started from them.
Don't allow all the callas to bloom
at the same time. 1t may be neces-
sary to retard some of the plants in
order to keep g succession OF bloom.
This may be done by taking them into
a cooler room and giving less water.
Don't forget that newly formed
shoots, not too soft, but sufficiently
brittle to snap off with a clean break
are the best places to get cuttings,
and that these will root easily, quickly
snd best in clean sand.
