Chicago MILK Trust.

Milwaukee, Wis, November 29.-It
IL stated that John LeFeber, of North
Greenfield, a suburb of this city, is
working in connection with the ru-
mored milk trust with which Joseph
Letter and the Kee-Chappell company
of Chicago are connected. LeFeber
owns a large dairy at Waukesha,
Wis, and is now engaged on scheme
TO control the entire shipment of milk
from this section to Chicago. Mil
waukee and Waukesha counties are
among the best dairy sections i'm the
country and large quantities OF milk
are shipped to Chicago daily. A
brother of John LeFeber said that
the latter was now in Chicago in con-
nection with the project and had been
working on the scheme for the past
year and that it was now nearly per-
tected. The plan of the trust is to
control all shipments of milk from
different sections of the country to
Chicago, and thereby establish uni
form price to consumers in that city.

WHEN PLANTS SLEEP.
They Have Various Hours, But All
Take a Rest.

The mimosa goes to sleep when
night comes on, or even a dark cloud
passing over the sun will cause it's
leaves to fold up and the stalk to
sink down, and, in fact, the whole
plant goes to sleep. In going to sleep
the mimoSa is not, however, at all
singular, many species of plants clos
ing their leaves and flowers at night.
On the other hand, says the Gentle.
mans Magazine, there are some
which, like the beasts of the forest,
hail the setting sun as a signal for
activity. This sleep of plants, which
Is the same physiologically as ami
mad sleep, does not exist without rea-
son. The art of sleeping is, in the
higher animals. symptomatic of re-
pose in the brain and nervous sys-
tenn, and the fact of plants sleeping
Is one proof of the existence of a
nervous system in the members Of
the vegetable kingdom.
plants sleep at various hours, and
not always at night. The duration of
plant sleep varies from 10 to 10 hours.
Light and heat have little to do with
plants sleeping, as different species
60 to sleep at different hours of the
day. Thus the common morning
glory opens at dawn, the Star Of
Bethlehem about 10 o'clock. the ice
plant at noon. The goats beard,
which opens at sunrise. closes at mid
day, and for this reason is called
"Go-to-bed- at noon" The flowers Of
the evening primrose and of the thorn
apple open at sunset, and those of the
nig'ht-blocming cerus when it is dark.
Aquatic flowers open and close with
the greatest regularity. The white
water lilly closes its flower at sun
act and sinks below the water for
the night; in the morning the petals
again expensd and float on the sur
face. The Victoria Regfa expands for
the first time about o'clock in the
evening. and closes in a few hours.
1t opens again at o'clock in the
morning and remains so till after
noon, when 1T closes and sinks below
the water.
For upwards of 1000 years continu-
Gus attempts have been made to elu-
cidate the phenomena of sleep with
out success: many theories have been
promulgated. burt they have fallen
short of explaining it. We know that
sleep rests the mind more than the
body, or, to put it in another way,
the mere physical, as apart from the
nervous portion of the organism,
can he rested without sleep. Mega
lively, the effect of sleeplessness
proves the value and necessity of
sleep. And this is seen in a marked
manner in the case of plants.
