Darwin in his book on Movement
In Plants" is OF opinion that many
plants may be said to have sight. and
the Investigations OF other famous bot
anists have confirmed his opinion. An
Indian botanist relates the following
remarkable incident: I was sitting In
large pillar. near to which grows q
large kind OF convolvulus. Its tendrils
were leaning over the veranda, and to
my surprise noticed that they were
visiply turning towards my leg. re-
mained In that position, and In less
than an hour the tendrils had laid
themselves over my leg. This was in
the early morning. and when at break
fast told my wife Of the discovery We
determined to make further expert
ments. When We went out into the
veranda the tendrils had turned their
heads back to the railing In disgust.
We got pole and leaned 1t against the
pillar twelve inches from the near
est spray OF conyolvulus In ten min
utes they began to curve themselves In
tnat direction and acted exactly as you
might fancy a very slow snake would
act II he wanted to reach anything. The
upper tendrils bent down and the side
ones curved themselves till they
touched the pole, and in few hours
they twisted right around 1t. 1t waa
ON the side away from the light. and
excepting the faculty Of sight. can
imagine no other means by which the
tendrils could be aware that the pole
had been placed there. They had to
turn away from the light to meet It.
and they set themselves visibly towards
It within a few minutes Of the pole
being placed there.

The state Of New York has opened
the path Of learning that leads to
science to the boys for whom It is
forced to care. As q result OF this the

object lesson to those who believe that
boys who have once stated on . life tha,
pointed toward an evil ending cannot
be made good citizens. II was a good
deal OF venture at first. but every day
Is now showing the wisdom OF the
movement. The electrical machinery
that furnishes the electric light for
this institution is practically operated
entirely by boy electricians. there be-
ing. OF course. several instructors to
give the boys counsel and be present
in case of an emergency. When the
plant was frst put in 1t furnished

number was increased to over 5000.
and the source of light from a 15-
horsepower motor to four 5-horse-
power. one l5-horse-power. one 10
horsepower and two 2-horse-power
motors. The additional motors, with
the exception OF the 10-horse- power.
were all designed and built at the
school by the boys. and all are giving
everyday service. These boys, most

care that no shutdown of the plant was
necessary-a feat which would have
reflected credit on skilled electricians.
The experience OF the boys Is made as

appliances call for. Every bit of this.

includes repairs OF motors. the wiring
OF chandeliers. the rewriting OF new de-
partments. caring for bell circuits. re-
pairs on arc lamps and the trimming
OF the same. Not only do the boys
perform all the work in the electrical
field proper. but all that is directly
connected with It also. This includes
engine work. caring for fans that are
run by motors. and the wiping and
cleaning Of machinery in the power
house. The cardinal principle OF the
instructors is to trust the boys. Much
OF the work is placed entirely In their
hands. With experience gained and
under proper instruction they have
handled many tasks entirely alone and
greatly to the satisfaction OF the man

all this is that every boy whom ,it IL
found has bent In the direction OF
electrical work is given an opportunity
TO develop along this line. The results
have been astonishing; and even now

school hopeless and without ambition

PRESERVING THE RUINS,
End of One of Ireland's Magnificent Old
Castles



One of Ireland's magnificent ruined
castles came to it's final end in this
manner: The ancient seat of the Cas-
tereaghs overlooked Tough Swilly, and
it was one of the most princely resi-
dences in Ireland. Eventually it fell
into decay and was not inhabited.
AS usual in such circumstances
when the peasantry wanted to build q
pigsty repair a road or anything OF
the sort, they took the stones from the
ruined castle, which was disappearing
piecemeal, when one day the then Lord
Londonderry paid a visit to his Irish
property When he saw the state the
castle was in, and reflected on the fact
that it was so much identified with the
history of his family, and even as a
ruin was a glory of Ireland, he deter
mined to put stop to the encroach-
ments that had been made upon it.
Sending for his agent to give him or
ders that the people were no longer to
remove stones from the building, he in
structed him to have the place en-
closed with a wall six feet high, and
we'll coped to keep out the trespass-
ers That being done, he went his way
and did not return to Ireland for three
or four years. He then found, to his
amazement, that the old castle had
completely disappeared, and in its place
there was q big wall inclosing nothing
Sending for the agent, he demanded to
know why disorders. had not been car
ried out The agent insisted that they
had been.
But where is the castle?" demanded
the marquis.
.The castle. is it? Bedad, built the
wall with it, my lord! Is it for me to
be going miles fer materials, with the
finest stones in Ireland beside me?"
In telling the man to build the wall
Lord Londonderry had said nothing
whatever about preserving the castle
which is now thing of the past New
ertheless, the wall is a good one.
